    Cracker Barrel May Face Another Lawsuit

    Civil Rights activist Al Sharpton and Rose Rock, the mother of comedian Chris Rock, will announce Wednesday they may file a lawsuit against the Cracker Barrel restaurant chain for refusing to serve black customers.

    The action stems from a May 2006 incident at a Murrells Inlet, S.C., Cracker Barrel restaurant. Rock said "she and her daughter were refused service," Rachel Noerdlinger, a spokesperson for Sharpton, told ABC News. Complaints to the restaurant management and to the South Carolina Human Affairs Commission were not acted on, Noerdlinger said.

    Rock, Sharpton and members of Sharpton's National Action Network plan to announce their intention to "fund a lawsuit" in front of the Murrells Inlet Cracker Barrel where Rock alleges the incident took place, Noerdlinger told ABC News.

    Julie Davis, spokesperson for Cracker Barrel told ABC News they "…have no information about this incident," but they investigate all discrimination allegations. She would not comment on the possibility of a lawsuit.

    Cracker Barrel, owned by the CBRL Group, has already settled a 2004 discrimination lawsuit with the U.S. Justice Department.

    Racism against Chris Rock's mother in South Carolina at a place called Cracker Barrel.


    Theres enough material in that for an entire HBO special or even a ****ing mini-series.

    Maybe a TV show.

    Damn, you would think that Chris Rock's mom would be able to eat at the really upscale restaurants like Olive Garden or Bennigans. Why is she slumming at Cracker Barrell?

    I ate at Cracker Barrell once, wasn't impressed. Waffle House is much better, I think its the grease.

    The Cracker Barrell near where I live in League City is ALWAYS packed. I guess it's all those old people plotting to take over the world...

    The Cracker Barrel store may be useless, but the food rocks.
