Braids were more than just style during slavery. Enslaved people used braids to communicate escape routes. pic.twitter.com/lg4DERyiSt

For some reason nobody is buying it. It's like they don't even believe lived history.

Shit like this used to get crazy traction seemingly every week. Another was the hush puppies being used to hide from dogs. As gay as elon is, he really put a damper on this sort of thing since msm never saw fit to challenge their racial superiors spreading insane nonsense.

Generally you dont amplify or give crazies mainstream attention.
Even more fatal to your claim is theres a snopes atticle debunking most of this stuff.

It actually refers to how the white people were obese off of the Black man's labor and would crack the cement under their immense weight when they walked places.

Probably not. In general things that try to be racial slurs "punch down" and slaves getting whips cracked at them don't have a lot of down to punch. It's most likely that it's some kind of inter-white saying/slur that became a slur later on.

IIRC it's an old anti Irish slur the Brits made up for some reason

Saltines aren't white though. Literally the first thing I thought it could apply to but I dismissed it as they're blotchy at best.

Lol they think they had a designated barrel for selling whips. Right between the horse shoes and the threshers. Hundreds of whips in a barrel. High demand item.

It's the only etymology I've seen presented for "cracker barrel" so I choose to believe it

whips are pretty durable items if cared for properly so it's unlikely you'd need to buy one every week

@KongsburyDonkboy think its a seasonal thing. Its hotter in the summer and the slaves tend too get uppity so they go through them quicker. trans lives matter

Gonna save this one for 2028 when there is a Democrat blowout in the elections and people aren't going to be allowed to be racist anymore.

we're headed for a blue wave πππ today everyone in the macho ford truck gang that hangs out at my local tractor supply wearing nothing but overalls is slowly taking the trump stickers off their trucks while saying "dude I totally thought Trump was good bro" while they spit tobacco "I shoulda voted for Oakland Kam"

You should get them some new stickers for their new beliefs. A nice gift.
