After Brutal Consumer Blowback, Cracker Barrel Gets Rid of Its Pride Page

You’ve seen it, I’ve seen it. A brand you’ve known your whole life suddenly loses its mind. It’s like they wake up one day and completely forget who pays the bills. What is going on in these boardrooms? They throw away everything that made them great just to please a few angry activists on the internet.

These companies seem to think we’ll just sit back and take it. They think Americans will keep handing over their money, no matter how much they insult our values. But they’re wrong. Sometimes, people stand up and say “no more.” And that’s when these corporate bigwigs get a little lesson in who’s really in charge.

From The Post Millennial:

Cracker Barrel has taken down the Pride page from its website as the company faces continued backlash over its attempted rebranding initiatives.

The company’s website previously featured a page that said it was “bringing the porch to Pride,” but that link now redirects to its “Culture and Belonging” section, according to a report by Fox Business. The updated page reads, “At Cracker Barrel, welcoming people has always been at the heart of who we are. When we take care of one another, we are able to take even better care of the people who walk through our doors.”

The latest company to get put in its place is Cracker Barrel. After trying to go woke, they just got a serious reality check. The restaurant quietly deleted the “Pride” page from its website. Just a little while ago, that page was bragging about “bringing the porch to Pride.” Now? It just sends you to a boring page about “Culture and Belonging.” This wasn’t some big change of heart. They caved.

This comes right after their embarrassing flip-flop on a new logo. They tried to replace their classic “Old Timer” sign with some plain, ugly design that nobody liked. After everyone made fun of it, they were forced to switch it back. In a weak statement, they said, “We said we would listen, and we have.” Sure you did. You listened after your customers yelled loud enough.

The Agenda Behind the Biscuits

But this was about more than just a bad logo. And believe me, it gets worse. Conservative activists like Robby Starbuck started digging. They found Cracker Barrel was deep into the usual woke nonsense. The company was sponsoring Pride parades, putting out rainbow-colored rocking chairs, and pushing all kinds of DEI stuff internally. Starbuck showed they were working with the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a radical group with a very dark agenda.

The HRC is a bully. It uses a “scorecard” to threaten companies into pushing its extreme views. For a place like Cracker Barrel, which is supposed to be about family and tradition, getting in bed with these people was a total betrayal.

A History of Caving to Pressure

If you think this is new, think again. Remember when they pulled “Duck Dynasty” items because Phil Robertson said something common-sense about family? But here’s the real kicker. Back in 1991, Cracker Barrel had a rule to fire workers who weren’t living a “normal heterosexual” life.

So, which is it, Cracker Barrel? One decade you’re firing people for being gay, and the next you’re begging for a good grade from the HRC. This shows a company with no backbone. They don’t believe in anything except what’s popular with the loud minority. They’ll do whatever they think they need to do to avoid getting yelled at.

A Victory for Common Sense

Let’s be clear: this is a win for you. It’s a win for every conservative who is tired of being ignored. When good people stand together, it works. Cracker Barrel tried to trade its all-American soul for a cheap woke sticker, and its customers called them out. They were reminded that their business is built on good food and traditional values, not on radical politics.

This should be a lesson for every other company out there. We, the people, are watching. While so many brands seem lost, we have the power to bring them back to reality. The fight to protect our values isn’t happening in some far-off capital. It’s happening right here, every time you decide where to spend your hard-earned money.

Key Takeaways

• Consumer pressure can force corporations to abandon woke agendas.
• Cracker Barrel’s actions reveal a history of corporate hypocrisy.
• Brands built on tradition alienate their base with radical politics.
• Staying vigilant is essential to protecting American family values.
