Fox should be ashamed to be a part of this ridiculousness.

"Cotton-picken" mind is an expression that is used indiscriminately....My G-d, has Fox also gone loco?

“Cotton-picking” is something I have always considered to be a replacement oath that doesn’t refer to any class of people.

Trump should use it in one of his speeches. THEN watch the floodgates open as political correctness gets CORRECTED.

Bossie did nothing wrong, “cotton picking mind” is a universal used saying, no matter what it may infer to some people. Stupid political correctness.

I will make it a point to add the term “cotton pickin’” to my repertoire of phrases and use it at every opportunity going forward.

I grew up in TX and “cotton pickin’” this and “cotton pickin’” that was a common every day expression, and had nothing to do with race. Matter of fact, most of those actually still doing cotton pickin by hand in those days were poor white folks. FOX is just busy virtue signaling.

The PC word now is “f***ing,” which is on its way to becoming fully acceptable in all media and settings. Bizarro!

I’m southern and say “cotton picking” all the time.

New Yorkers are just nuts. Totally thin skinned.

As a person of white privilege I sure wish they would print out a list of words that are racist or offensive.

The last thing a honky like me wants to do is offend someone, especially these overly touchy whiny fags.
