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?

Fox falling all over itself to be PC. Screw that “out of your cotton pick mind” has been used for decades (if not longer) and is not in the slightest bit racist.

The LIEberal who was “offended” is a guy named Joel Payne, who has appeared on Fox News several times in the interest of “Fair and Balanced” reporting.

I am beyond convinced that the only reason Fox has LIEberals on as guests (and this applies to Juan Williams, as well) is so that we “Normals” can gain further appreciation of just how insane they all are.

Payne’s racist reaction was typical of a black racist! His “stchick” is racism - that is the only lens he can see through.

A superb early jazz band in an earlier, non-PC era. Still available of Apple and Amazon Music although that will probably end.

Bananas, watermelon, fried chicken, cotton. Words forbidden to Whites.

If there’s going to be a list of words that get you fired, if you’re White, then companies have to publish the f*cking list! If I’m working for a company, and they forbid me to say certain words, as they have the right, then they have absolutely got to publish the list of words that get me fired!

It’s only fair. I have a right to know what is allowed and what is not.

Obviously they won’t. There’s no list. It’s anything a “protected” class member says is on the list. “The” will get you fired, if a privileged minority hears you say it and calls you racist. There doesn’t even have to be a word. If you don’t say the word you are fired. Saying the beginning of that stupid rhyme “enny miney meeny mo” gets you fired, because of what USED to come after it.

Speaking of FOX, Showtime is producing a series about the FOX News “sex scandals”. (Gretchen Carlson is thrilled). Do you suppose they’re going to make a series about Hollywood’s sex scandals? Or the other networks? (They’ll just hit Cosby, and call it good).

Fox News Suspends Ex-Trump Aide David Bossie for ‘Cotton-Picking’ Remark

Looks like Fox has its group of mediots too. Maybe one of those over educated morons could look up the origin of the phrase before wetting their panties.

Good grief, I use that all the time. I imagine that if you look at any number of commonly used expressions they go back to something that could be construed by those so inclined to be raciss.

“I have some relatives who picked cotton,” an infuriated Payne responded

Yeah? So do I.

There's nothing racist about picking cotton.

My wife and I are the first people in our families to not pick cotton and we ain’t black.

Although my ancestry.com DNA test says I am 2% African. So if the BLM is still clinging to the demonRAT test of only one drop of blood maybe I do qualify.
