Folks on the right thought taking the Cracker and Barrel out of Cracker Barrel was "woke".

Barrels: the new racism

Thank you, I guess this "woke" component is the one I understand the least. I'm struggling to understand how changing a logo and taking out a chair and barrel could be twisted into a political statement??

Because the guy they removed was a white guy. = "Woke".

"Mah heritage!"

Your "heritage" didn't exist before 1977. Deal with it.

So the removal of an old man leaning on a barrel was spun to be erasure of the white man... what the.

These people need anti-psychotics.
