THATS RACIST!

Race baiters have falsely accused a Little League Baseball team of “racism” for putting cotton balls on a black player’s head.
On Sunday, photos and videos of the incident made a splash on social media as critics slammed the kids and their coaches for putting cotton on the black child’s head in an act the critics claim evokes slavery.
The video pointed to as an example of “racism” seemed to show the black player sitting glumly in his seat as his white teammates pulled the white, cotton-like stuffing out of stuffed toys and placed the balls of puff on the boy’s head.

Despite the accusations that the team is not a “safe space” for the black player and claims that it is an obvious example of “racism,” further investigation into the incident destroys the claims.
The team, the kids, the parents, and Little League Baseball all jumped up to say that there was no ill-intent in the incident and added that white players also received the cotton ball treatment.

i never picked cotton.
but my momma did.
and my sister did.
and my brother did.
but my daddy died young, working in the coal mine.
What IS the point about putting cotton balls on teammates’ heads, regardless of what their race is?
Who hasn't put stuff in friends' and classmates' hair? Every school assembly in elementary school caused a race for the back row to be the only ones not vulnerable to abuse from behind.
THATS RACIST!
It’s in the article.
Yeah! I thought blacks and browns didn’t get along ...

I hear ya......all my family picked cotton. They were farmers in the depression and you better grow, pick and sell it or the cubbards would get pretty empty and non-food necessities would be sorely missed. God bless cotton.....;)
People like that aren’t happy unless they are unhappy.....they seek endless perpetual grievances......a sad way to go through life really.
Nobody can have fun anymore. Piss off media
Exactly!!! Maybe one day all these propaganda arms for the left will go under and a new, truthful, and responsible media will emerge and start informing citizens with the way things really happened and not what THEY want you to see and hear.
“It turns out that they were making fun of the white Mohawk hairstyle sported by the pitcher on the Little League team from Hawaii”
So all forms of cotton are now racist. Wonder what the local hospital ER would have to say about that.
Who came up with the idea of “safe spaces” anyway? They assume others, in this case blacks, cannot coexist without a protected retreat from the horrors of being around white people. Truth is, blacks are safer in the company of whites than with other blacks, and the opposite is true for whites. If white people were as hateful and violent as the yappy left presents them, the 12% of the population that is black would be more like 2%. Why do white people fall for this nonsense?
They complain about every cotton pickin’ thing, those libs.
When I played baseball we were prohibited from razing the other team in any wsy.....failure to self discipline resulted in running.....A LOT......of course that was a more conservative time.
I’ve heard people say...we shoulda picked our own.

If only the white kids wore it, it would be racist. People are looking to be offended.
OMG, I heard his parents made him sleep on cotton sheets! Somebody need to report them to CPS!
