    I once stole a corn cob pipe out of the cracker barrell gift shop, and smoked my brothers Skoal out of it. I was about 13 at the time.

    True story.

    I love Cracker Barrel, but this isn't the first time they've come under fire. I don't know if they've been investigated for their apparent racism before, but it seems that there is enough of it to establish a pattern. Mrs. Rock probably has a pretty good case.

    OMG, robbery AND underage smoking. How you've managed to not start robbing liquor stores and holding up banks is beyond me. :D

    Sounds like there are a lot of bitter people in here that couldn't whittle the peg game down below 5 leftover. Tsk tsk. Don't take it out on the Cracker Barrel.

    I remember once I went to Kelly's Country Kitchen in League City, it was full of white people and me and my black friend were stared at the entire time, it was an uncomfortable situation.

    I don't think Chris Rock is funny at all. I also think that if Cracker Barrel wants to deny service to a customer, they should have the right to do so. Yeah let's have a F-ing lawsuit about not being able to eat at a restaurant. Boo - Hoo. :rolleyes:

    I'm guessing you'd have no problem at all if movie theatres didn't want to allow Koreans in anymore, huh?

    Or if daughters of famous directors wanted to make a movie that showed Asians in a stereotypical fashion, I'm sure you'd have nothing to say about that, huh?

    I think he's saying that it's ok to refuse service to somebody as long as that person is realated to an UNFUNNY comic. I hope Dat Phan's mom doesn't plan on going to Craker Barrel any time soon...

    Cracker Barrel served blacks in St. Louis. Maybe this is just a South Caronlina thing.

    How did they prepare them? Did they taste better than white people?

    What did they call it, the Brother Buffet?

    This is stupid. I heard she was there 30 minutes without being served while others were.

    That's happened to me before at restraunts and i'm white. I guess I should sue for racism.

    But unlike her and Mr. Sharpton and Mr. X and whoever else is in on this, I don't look for racism and evidence that I am oppressed behind every corner.
