The activist says that Cracker Barrel has embraced the unlocking of the American tradition

The Anti-Swead Crusader Robby Starbuck has published a devastating video withdrawal of Cracker Barrel leadership, arguing that the logo and decoration of the restaurant are the culmination of a campaign of several years to address the far left and abandon the values ​​of its average customer customers.

StarbuckWho brought large companies such as John Deere, Target, and Harley-Davidson in Talon by exhibiting their awakening policies, described the youth cure of the Cracker Barrel logo as passing from the “old American nostalgia” to something “cold, dead, lifeless and modern” in a 15-minute video. He said that, although the Cracker Barrel brand is often associated with the American tradition, the company is “infested with left -wing activists which are more interested in safe spaces, pronouns and virtue signaling than in their customers”.

In his video, Starbuck highlights the support of Cracker Barrel to LGBTQ +organizations and events, such as Nashville Pride, River City Pride and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC).

He also noted that the company displayed rocking chairs with rainbow colors and LGBTQ +badges. The company even went so far as to place one in its headquarters in Tennessee. The rocking chairs are practically synonymous with a barrel of cracker, with the long porches of the restaurant bordered with them in the places of the country.

“The fact that it is located there is important for this story, because what happened here is a microcosm of the parasitic operating procedure of leftist activists,” said Starbuck. “They don’t just want to force their soulless hedonistic vision, without God of the future on landscapes of blue hell that their party controls.

“No, it is much more important to them that they have pushed it in your cities, in your children’s schools and in your lifestyle. So, paste a pro-Trans rocking chair in their headquarters in a conservative city is exactly the type of thing they were delighted.”

Starbuck then underlined the company’s involvement with HRC and its participation in the Out and Equal Workplace summit. For the out and equal conference, Cracker Barrel has made rocking chairs in all the colors of the rainbow, representing the LGBTQ +flag. Out and equal even gave Cracker Barrel a price for the best resource group for LGBTQ + 2018 employees (ERG).

The restaurant chain had previously participated in the equal index of HRC companies, which measures “the policies, practices and benefits of companies relevant to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer”, according to the organization’s website. The score of a company on the index is determined by the way in which the inclusive HRC judged that it was towards LGBTQ +employees.

Cracker Barrel told Fox News Digital on Friday that he “had not participated in the Human Rights campaign index or had an affiliation with HRC for several years”.

Two Cracker Barrel employees are called by their name in Starbuck’s video, Steve Smotherman and Rachel Campbell.

Smotherman was the head of management training and development at Cracker Barrel for 15 years, said Starbuck, showing a screenshot that seemed to come from LinkedIn. Smotherman, who finally left Cracker Barrel for Out and equal, headquarters at the HRC Commercial Advisory Council in Washington, DC

Starbuck describes Smotherman as “the militant archetype employee who fueled the rise of Dei in American companies”. He also criticized Campbell, director of training and development at Cracker Barrel, for having publicly expressed the excitement with regard to the rocking chairs of the company’s arch pride.

“And it is important to note all of this because these types of employees play an essential role by keeping businesses from their customers away and moves businesses to perception,” said Starbuck.

Gilbert Dávila, a member of the Cracker Barrel Board of Directors, was also referenced in Starbuck’s video. Dávila, who joined the Board of Directors of Cracker Barrel in 2020, worked in several large companies, including Disney, Coca-Cola and Procter & Gamble. It is also the co-PDG of DMI Consulting, which seeks to “infuse cultural relevance and creativity in each solution”. Starbuck said that Dávila and others like him are responsible for the “awakened advertising push” in recent years.

In the end, Starbuck stresses that the controversy around the change of Cracker Barrel logo is more than the withdrawal of a man in his chair leaning over a barrel.

“It is very, very important to understand that the story of Cracker Barrel does not concern a logo. It is not at all a logo, it is a country, it is our inheritance, and it is a culture. It is a structure of power built to tell us that we are somehow back, embarrassing or Bigoted,” said Starbuck.

“A curator cannot give Cracker Barrel money. A Christian cannot give his money to Cracker Barrel, and therefore we will not,” he added.

As Starbuck sees it, the Cracker Barrel debacle is a winner for the Conservatives, saying that the company will have to be doubled and lose customers, or return to its 1977 logo to keep its customers.
