It gives one a short term sense of empowerment. A temporary feeling of moral superiority. but once that high wears off the need for that next "fix" becomes progressively more insatiable. What a pathetic self destructive way to go through life.

Interesting point, and I think I agree. It takes more and more empowerment and moral superiority to get the desired high.
Where does it lead eventually? Each person is different, of course, but for some, it might lead to bitter frustration. It might lead others to the ultimate "high," that they feel they deserve, in physical violence, including murder. Maybe that is why they are called progressives. They progress from protesting, to violence.

That is irrelevant. Racist slave owners grew it. Specifically for textiles!

I’m not so sure about linen. Egyptian priests (slave owners) wore only linen clothing as a sign of purity. Romans (also slave owners) also used linen for sails. Them’s facts of flax!

[Silentgypsy]

Strange—two lady acquaintances of mine of the Caucasian persuasion have very strong backs and legs from picking and hauling cotton. They mentioned nothing about slavery.

Linen is flax. I’m sure slaves have picked that too, somewhere.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

Oh crap linen is flax. I was wrong. Happens once in a while.

This is getting close to the incident in which some Muslins complained that the swirls of ice cream in a photo of a McDonald’’s soft serve cone, if you looked at them just the right way, spelled the name of Allah in Arabic.

By the way, “cotton pickin’” has to go too, because allegedly was originally a slur against people who picked cotton.

I wish we had picked our own damned cotton.

That was such a great movie and everyone back in the day was in it! Saw it for two bits!

The disgusting image:

I mean....really...how can anyone get more racist than that?

[Oztrich Boy]

Hemp is associate with the death penalty (also lynchings)

[xrmusn]

hmmm
I had ‘heard’ it had something to do with a broken string.....

Of course “cotton candy” has no cotton, but someone could get triggered by the name and appearance, so ban it!

I was in a Hobby Lobby the other night. There were some offensive cotton decorations. There were some black females in the store, and they were purchasing cotton fabrics for some dresses they were making. I didn’t hear any of them talking about how offensive cotton is. Within a few miles of the store are cotton fields. I am thankful for cotton and all of the things made from it. My ancestors and my husband’s ancestors picked cotton. It was hard work. But they did what they could do at the time to make ends meet.

Ignorance is bliss.

Too many inmates. Not enough asylums. Very well and accurately put. Guffaws as well. Congrats.

[TigersEye]

You’re starting to win me over. Please make that girl take those denims off!

[xrmusn]

Don’t forget to ban the axe

< Consider the apple tree. George Washington chopped one of those down. And George Washington owned slaves. Therefore, an apple tree is a symbol of slavery. Anyone who owns an apple tree (or has a picture of one) supports slavery. >
I got one better. All the buildings put up by Donald Trump and his father Fred Trump have one thing in common, they each have a roof on top of them. The window licking retard who shot up the church in Charelston, SC and put up a selfie on FB waving a Confederate flag is named , Dylann ROOF. Ergo, the Trumps are racist. They really do think this way.

Lunacy. Does she use cotton balls? Does she wear cotton clothing? But seeing a cotton plant is offensive? Hypocrite. Slaves also fed horses hay. Are haystacks offensive as Halloween decoration? Some slaves were forced to chop down wood. Are modern wood carving decorations also offensive? Are trees an evil symbol? Fragile wittle snowflakes.

I live near a cotton field. Should I never look?
