This machine is racist.
"Cotton-picken" mind is an expression that is used indiscriminately....My G-d, has Fox also gone loco?
We live in a strange world. People create videos of beheading the US president, and they star in the video is unrepentant. But a person uses a phrase by accident and loses their job. A US Congresswoman calls for violence against the President and his administration, and the press says “oh well, no big deal”
Fox just became Slaves to the Plantation of silliness. They are Chained To political correctness now, which will Whip them. Things are looking Dark for them, and they are now on the Porch, Monkeying around with things that will not Well-Fare.
He should have called him a nose-picker, then everything would be OK...
With pay? If so, that's what I call a vacation.
Tennessee Ernie Ford would have been banned from TV for life...
His favorite line was “You’re outta your pea pickin’ mind...”
Maybe Fox should suspend anyone who wears cotton clothes around black people too.
I’m about done with FOX
Wait a cotton picking minute, that's not fair.
So Fox isn’t being niggardly with the suspensions.
This machine is racist.
I knew that was coming. I saw the segment. After Bossie made the comment Ed Henry felt it was necessary to apologize for the ‘language’ used by his guest. Stuck on stupid.
Its just a damn idiom. This is insane.
When this country was more agriculture based there were many of those sayings that had no basis in racism because people of all races worked in the fields. I knew many people in my life that picked cotton, and none of them were black.
Cotton picking mind, Cotton picking minute, pea picking, No time for that we have corn to shuck. All common sayings that had nothing to do with race, there were tons of those sayings in common use. I have made it my goal to start using those phrases again, even though it will make people think I am at least 30 years older.
Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?
News from the future - today Fox News suspended a host for claiming a black commentator was “wrong” as this is a form of white privilege because white people owned blacks as slaves so saying a black person is wrong is white oppression and racist.
Fox News apologizes for the offense and will work harder in the future to make blacks more welcome in its studios.
In other news Chuck Schumer called Ben Carson an Uncle Tom and idiot for not banning guns in public housing.
Oh please!
Hard to feel ‘sorry’ for someone who has a job because of a job he once had.
Libs excel at that crap and figure they ‘attack’ the ‘enema’ with far worse phrases than that.
Suspending Bossie for its use is extreme. Did he say it knowing its history? Did he say it intentionally because of it?
I think I'll take the day off and think about it. Can't fire myself as I am the owner of the company.
Since when are Blacks the only people who ever picked cotton? My mother, aunts, and uncles picked cotton in the 30’s. This expression was widely used when I was young. I haven’t heard it for a while, but what’s next?
Newspeak has started in the US.
George Orwell Quote:
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture repainted, every statue and street building renamed, every date altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has been stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
