Yeah close look, it doesn’t look like a typical black caricature, like Uncle Ben, and Aunt Jemima. It just looks like a older guy, sitting in a chair, with a barrel being used like a table. This would have described half my, white, family. Racists just think anything “old timey” changing is woke, because woke is what they don’t like. However, the company has a historical problem with overt racism, and most of their customer base has a lot of racists in it’s composition. So fuck them, they deserve to go under.
Ultimately this is just rage bait profiteering, and a distraction from the real hell going on.
The Nazis are always mad at any change. Just because they’re angry, doesn’t mean the change is good. Unfortunately, now what should be a discussion about the sterilization of all branding now got wrapped up in the culture wars. If McDonald’s had waited until now to disappear the Ronald McDonald mascot, the Nazis would be complaining about that too.
So, can someone explain this to non USAians?
cracker barrel had a logo with racist undertones, like the other logos above it. it has recently been retired, much to the outrage of conservatives.
It’s a guy leaning against a barrel, what racial undertones are there?
idk, ask the nazis that are mad it got switched out.
Okay just because a racist is mad doesn’t mean that what they’re mad about is necessarily racist.

What racist undertones? He looks like a detailed Simpsons character.
All the other logos have controversies, except cream of wheat.
