Imagine for even a second if a Republican did this!
Did she do it in blackface or white robe?
Did she had cotton to white students as well.
Does she always do tours?
Is she trying to get her husband removed from office?
It’s a rally bad time for a cotton pickin gaffe like that.
ROTFL. Yet another ‘RAT apology to them black folks. I’m starting to see a pattern here.
I don’t see the problem.
In a related story, Virginia first lady Pam Northam received condemnation from the Congressional Black Caucus after she handed out cotton candy to black children during a recent tour of the governor’s mansion.
I guess Black people shouldn’t wear cotton clothes or sleep on cotton sheets.
So Mrs Coonman was throwing cotton at black kids?
Next she will had them a bottle of ripple and new sneakers and pants that do not fit.
What a couple! He puts on blackface and as if that were not enough, poses next to a guy in a Klan outfit and explains it all away as having been in a Michael Jackson dance contest. She hands out tufts of cotton to the black kids. I’m surprised she didn’t hand out whips to the white ones.
Uh, oh looks like cotton candy is headed to the dog whistle pile of racist symbols. Who is the arbiter of what objects and words now constitute racist symbols to create false outrage? Is it the media on a slow news day looking to drum up controversy that would not otherwise exist? Racism much like beauty is now in the eye of the beholder
They were in the “Historic Kitchen.”
Surprised she didn’t hand out fried chicken and watermelon.
It doesn't matter—take away all the dress-up Halloween klansmen, take away all the cotton goodwill gestures, take away the "N" word, etc. None of it matters because it is never enough, and it doesn't improve the lot of the offended one cotton pickin' bit.
Apparently many (most?) lack the will to succeed, and they fully pin their future hopes on more "gubmint" handouts and "pogrums". God bless the 1 in 100 who have the ambition to persevere and succeed on their own.
Damn, you can’t do anything in this country any more without getting in trouble.
Who cares about cotton and black face. The real and ignored issue is INFANTICIDE. They were one vote away.
My Uber-Leftist employee said something to me that just stunned me. We were discussing how his favorite comedian got beat up on stage because one of his jokes offended somebody. He said, “You know, it’s comedy. It’s going to offend somebody. That’s just tough. I go to a show and he says something offensive...I don’t care.”
People who are looking for offense will find offense. They will find it where none was intended because being offended is power. Also, it gives people the opportunity to be drama queens when they expect to be applauded for it.
In my final two years in the working world I no longer talked to people I didn’t know well. None of us talked freely in front of people we didn’t know because if they took offense, or thought that somebody else might take offense, (yes, that was the published standard we were held to) we could have been fired. It’s a very scary world out there now.
Did this happen in Lynchburg?
Ha haaaaaa!!! You gotta love it when libturds get hoisted up on their own politically correct petards.
I wasn’t upset over the cotton... however the whip was a smidgen over the limit...
She should have doubled-down by handing them watermellon.
