Twitter mob goes after ‘racist’ Cracker Barrel restaurant – are they next up on the cancel culture chopping block?
One question was all it took for Cracker Barrel to begin trending on Twitter, with users slamming the restaurant as racist and others worrying it may be the next target for cancel culture.
“Y’all ever walk in a place that just FEELS racist?” one user tweeted, before sharing a story of alleged discrimination at a “Southern-charm” store.
