Leftists are probably wondering why no one takes claims of racism seriously anymore. After all, isn't being racist the worst thing someone can be? Yet, they scream "racism!" and no one blinks an eye. Why is that?
Probably because everything is racist these days. Check out this complaint about Hobby Lobby:
Oh boy.
Is it wrong that I'm thinking about heading to Hobby Lobby in a bit to pick up some "home decor"? No, I'm not racist. I just think it's freaking hysterical that cotton is now racist.
In fairness, out of the 150,000+ comments on this thread, there's not a lot of support for this line of thinking. Unsurprisingly, most of the comments seem to be outright mocking the claim.

Black people shouldn’t have sex. Sex with black people made slaves.
Obviously a false-flag by Monsanto to bring back polyester.
How dare they!!
Slaves cut lumber, cultivated tobacco, and raised all sorts of crops. Are blacks now going to be offended by trees, cigarettes, and food?
Cotton swabs. Cotton sheets. Cotton clothes. Cotton in medicine bottles. Cotton stuffing. Cotton towels. Cotton wash cloths. Tom Cotton. Cotton cheating. Cotton diapers.
How do SJ worshipers even get out of their cotton beds in the morning?
Cotton is so... white.
A great comment there:
I believe most of the SJW complaints aren’t at all related to their ideology. They want control. They want Hobby Lobby to take down the decor. Is it hysterical? Nonsensical? Yes. But if they succeed it’s a win and they got to culturally bully someone into meeting their demands. Now that they’ve addressed cotton balls they can move on to corn, which was the crop of choice for many slaughtered natives.
They can and will go on and on with their grievances while they attempt to control people.
It’s my understanding that in the South it’s kind of a seasonal decoration. Like sheaths of wheat or corn. Just a “fall is here” kind of thing.
“Obviously a false-flag by Monsanto to bring back polyester”.
Lol!
When them cotton balls get rotten you can’t pick very much cotton.
Should’a picked our own damned cotton! < /sarc >
We will also need to abolish ship building, and the use of ships in general, since they were used to transport slaves from Africa to the New World.
I’ve been cultivating some poly bushes in my back yard for a couple of years waiting for a resurgence.
Please, please someone do a facebook rant about Sugar in a grocery store!
A friend’s nephew is a agriculture specialist. His wedding reception decor was cotton stalks on every table.(bride’s idea)
