I just saw this little shitshow, thought you guys might get a kick out of it.
>black lady is so hyped up on idpol a fucking Cracker Barrel scares her >she thinks the affected "country store" aesthetic filled with early-to-mid 20th Century Americana is an homage to the Antebellum South/Confederacy for some reason.
Dude in modern contexts it often is a cipher for that.
Jordan Brooks
What?
I know the average Burger isn't exactly intelligent even under the best of circumstances, but I still think most can differentiate between the 20th and 19th centuries.
Grayson Diaz
Surely it's all 'the good old days', reactionaries are never very up on actual history
Samuel Carter
Yes, but the "good old days" it's harkening back to is more like the 1950s. A very rustic 1950s.
Juan Ross
Hey, it's still the Jim Crow era. Look I'm not even an American but it's pretty obvious that far right boomers would like anywhere with a rustic Americana old times motif.
Matthew Morales

Jordan Ross
Haven't been in a Cracker Barral in forever but from what I remember it was made to look like a Manefest Destiny era homestead. Wood floors and benches, bales of hay, I think you could even eat peanuts and throw the shells on the floor.
Jose King
I get that it's supposed to be a nostalgia thing, but it's a stretch to claim that playing up to mid-20th century nostalgia is nostalgia for Jim Crow or even the Antebellum period.
Evan Cruz
I don't think that she was in danger of getting shot but I do think that places like that are a prime hangout for 'good ol boy' kind of people
Thomas Perry
Even if it was, so what? It's not like race relations were the only thing going on. It's Liberal idpol that won't shut the fuck up about it that has everyone thinking slavery was the only thing going on in the time period.
Do you feel bad for enjoying videogames in the early 2000s because Bush Jr. was in office at the time? Fuck no.
Landon Sanchez
Sure, but your decontextualizing it too. There's a reason why cowboy movies were so popular in the past but not now. Cracker Barral IS often upheld as some kind of wholesome chain in contrast to chains like Applebee's op and other more urban chains they associate with liberals and homosexuals. It's all heat and serve garbage coming from the same capitalist holding company but that baggage is still there.
Owen Morgan
I bet you do, Holla Forums
Austin Wilson
I do. I was working for Northrop Grumman at the time. Call of Duty always made me cringe since I was familiar with the actually destruction that the war was causing.
Jordan Rodriguez
Alright, but that's specific topical similarity. I mean video games, or just anything you enjoyed in that time period, in general. I doubt you had to stare at your hands and wonder what you've done in the middle of night over Megaman Legends 2.
Lucas Williams
I still do. Not videogames per se but definitely food. My grandfather was an undocumented immigrant and worked 25 years straight everyday in the fields 12 hours a day doing back breaking work with only Christmas and Sundays off. I feel bad because I know my food, electronics and clothes is made by slaves. It's why I'm a leftist, because now that I've seen how sausages are made I can't unsee it and have to do something about it.
Jacob Smith
Who the fuck associates Applebee's with liberals and homosexuals?
I don't know how things work out west, but I live in the South and I've yet to hear even the dumbest shitkicking texaboo claim that Cracker Barrel is a moral place to eat or that Applebee's is for homosexuals. It's like a roadside shop that you people eat at when they're on a trip somewhere and they don't want fast food.
Ayden Jenkins
Fair enough, but it's still sidestepping the point, which is that every era has good and bad in it, and it's kind of shitty to look down on somebody enjoying the good because at some point bad happened.
Antebellum kitchen sounds cozy as fuck, personally.
Blake Morgan
...
Anthony Taylor
Also videogame developers are extremely exploited too. If you really cared about SJWs taking over videogames you'd help videogame developers address these GREVIOUS labor issues they endure. If videogame developers had more control over their labor they'd probably develop more games that you like instead of chasing feminists trends which are edicts that mostly come from corporate.
Justin Brooks
Fuck you for making me remember there will never be a part 3 ;__;
Cooper Murphy
Okay maybe not homosexuals, but come on dude Cracker Barrel sells Duck Dynasty merch. It's crypto racists af.
Nicholas Evans
I'm looking at photos now, oh my god, American 'culture' is pathetic.
Jason Gonzalez
Oh, don't you worry. I am 100% aware of what goes on in that industry. I was lined up to dive into that pool, but got to watch a friend go first and noped right out of it. I honestly wish Kickstarter were more viable so the fans willing to put their money where their mouth is had more direct input on what got made, rather than what writes good copy for Kotaku. But we saw what happened with Mighty Number Nine, Psychonauts 2, Star Citizen, and so many others. Big names, new and old, have failed, so trust is completely eroded.
Currently just trying to survive medical issues, so my activism on any issue is at an all-time low.
SEE YOU SPACE COWBOY…
Cameron Johnson
They sell Duck Dynasty bullshit everywhere. They were even selling it at the Walgreens I worked at when I was a cashier.
Alexander Scott
there's duck dynasty merch everywhere
go outside
Mason Thomas
This is a thinly veiled Holla Forums thread.
Henry James
read the article. she literally did nothing wrong. facebook is run by low test cowards and the Zucc is a fine example of that.
Christopher Hall
I think it should be pointed out that Cracker Barrel isn't an authentic country store, it's a corporate chain that tries to invoke a "down home" rustic aesthetic.
Michael Butler
I wasn't disputing that. I just thought it was silly that she was so paranoid that a Cracker Barrel scared her.
Jason Robinson
It is convenient that Americans willingly put on their own dunce caps.
Ian Rogers
about time we leftists told these cultural idpol niggers to shut their mouths, hail stalin! kill antifa!
Jaxson Howard
What the MAGA retards did was worse, but that doesn't change the fact that is an idpol-drunk paranoiac.
Grayson Young
individual struggles are not liberalism unless you might want to make more friends and jump into the liberalism equals leftism pit
Luis Gutierrez
Could you rewrite that to make it a bit more coherent.
Josiah Morales
Yeah but treating everybody in a cowboy hat like they are a klansmen is literally retarded.
Nolan Brown
I fail to see the difference in being afraid of white people in cowboy hats vs being afraid of black people in saggy pants.
Aiden Wright
neither do I. she literally did nothing wrong
Carter Price
Yes she did, she made an absurd assumption that these white people were going to lynch her because they were wearing cowboys hats.
While racist assumptions like this aren't nearly as damaging irl given that generally black people don't have the power to turn such attitudes into reality, they are still contrary to the ideals we are trying to promote in society. Not to mention it gives away this person's identitarian views which are inherently reactionary and incompatible with internationalism and universalism.
Jason Edwards
please stop doing that

Nathaniel Reyes
Not sure if that's a parody account or not.
Lincoln Bennett
Oh, it's a shop. Duh.

Yugofags weren't always the best but please stop
Isaiah Cox
This is why segregation is necessary.
Ethan Johnson
She knows how every white person feels like walking through a big nog neighborhood (except the threat is actually real).
James Gutierrez
Uh huh. Can you fuck off already?
Dominic Taylor
This is how your produce is harvested. Do a search on United Farm Workers if you don't believe me.
Isaiah Allen
A lot of tha old West Countrry glorification is a cipher for racism. Maybe that's unfair but that's how a lot of minorities and even liberals perceive it. And it's because of the baggage of Manifest destiny and the civil war.
Henry Robinson
This
Gavin Nelson
Do you have any evidence to back up this claim?
In addition, Cracker Barrel isn't meant to look like the Old West. It's supposed to invoke the look of an old fashioned country general store somewhere between the 1930s and early 1960s.
Jonathan Green
Don't matter how shitty the bait is it never fails. Just like how the Dear White People trailer went on to prove that racism *is* an issue based off the reactionary chimp-out it caused for like a month.
Logan Collins

Anthony Lopez
God fucking damn it. Over-opinionated Burgers and their reactionary hot-takes on European politics.
Nathan Hughes
Shut up nigger go back to Apefrica and be a witch doctor
Oliver Powell
Lemme guess, the shoe fits.
Bentley Reed
You belong in Apefrica not Europe, how is the rickets? Back to the jungle sambo!
Joseph Cox
I hate how retards ruined the term reactionary.
Aaron Baker
Except Afroplasm was using it correctly in this instance.
Cooper Lewis
An American telling a black man where he is and ain't supposed to live. The irony…
Alexander Ramirez
Ooga booga fly the Afrikang colors go live there sambo
Carson Peterson
What's your definition of reactionary then?
Nolan King
I'd tell you to go back somewhere but there's no inch of land I think Nazis belong on.
I think where you belong is dangling just above the ground.

You're a Jewish cuck

I'm probably more white than you, Holla Forums.

You're a Jew and Jewish bolshevism is never coming back

I'm not actually Jewish at all.
I'm a blonde haired, blue eyed Burgerstani of mostly British and German descent.

Are you trolling or are you actually think much of a stereotype?

No I am not trolling Abgwale Mutumbo

Bentley Scott
Negros are ten times more likely to kill whites than whites are likely to kill blacks, the only ones who should feel unsafe are whites in the presence of black nigger animal baboons. Around blacks never relax niggers hold entire american cities hostage with their niggery and the coon in the op has the audacity to complain about feeling unsafe in an old timey saloon the fucking nerve. FUCKING niggers should stick to kfc and church's chicken if they don't want to feel "unsafe" around white people.
I hate niggers so god damn much
Sebastian Clark
I miss my Panini football sticker albums.:(
Gabriel Myers
Shoulda picked your own cotton or at least given the freed slaves 40 acres and a mule like Lincoln promised then.
Jaxson Stewart
Niggers would have sold the acres and the mules to buy colt 45 and Newport's
Lincoln Smith
Come here. Sit. Explain what hurt you so much in the inside, I listen
Evan Sanders
Nothing like good old fashioned racist caricatures to justify the historic and contemporary mistreatment of racial minorities.
Yeah, this entire story was conjured just for attention on the internet. That lady probably had a great time at Cracker Barrel, and felt guilty about it later because of idpol nonsense.
Christian Gonzalez
WELL BITCH IT AIN'T CALLED CRACKER BARREL FOR NOTHIN'
Ryder Nguyen
We really shouldn't engage those assholes. Their only purpose is to derail with terribly low effort posting. Be sure to report so we can clean the board from that garbage.
We all have to do better when it comes to feeding the Nazis or obvious trolls. If it's too hard to resist & one person is already engaging with them, I usually just let that person deal with them, alone. Just some small advice, in general.
Sebastian Turner
God, mantises are so beautiful anyone knows a hentai porn with them?
Mason Lewis
I haven't been to a Cracker Barrel in years. Cant really remember if their food was good or not.
Brandon Morales
Not hentai, but my fav mantis gif. Those little fuckers are so cool. I fed one a small fly, once. It took it right from my fingers. I thought that was the coolest shit ever when it happened. :)
Jaxson Garcia
It's called Liberia.
Jeremiah Reyes
It would be pretty hard to farm 40 acres with nothing but a mule. I'd want 40 acres and a tractor.
It would be pretty hard to get a tractor in 1865 though.
Michael Nelson
You'd like that wouldn't you…
Oliver Hall
Be that as it may giving the former slaves a fair chance to become self-sufficient and part of the American economy sure would've saved burgers the future hassle of multigenerational poverty and crime for 13% of their population.
Hell, even in the 10 years after The American Civil War something like 15-20% of blacks in the south starved to death cuz Lincoln's promises weren't kept after he got his brains blown out.
Shit wasn't sunshine and lollipops just cuz slavery ended a century and a half ago.
Austin Morris
It honestly wouldn't surprise me in the least. idpolers are all sick in the head.
William Martinez
That is the most white-passing black woman I've seen in years.
Carson Anderson
you're a Savior
Xavier Rogers
Niggers are subhuman it's a pity 100% of them didn't starve.
