I used to drive past lots of cotton in Texas. I’ve seen lots of big green things pick cotton, but I’ve NEVER seen a slave pick cotton!
Me? Cotton jeans, cotton socks, cotton T-shirts and cotton dress shirts. I like long-sleeve cotton shirts for wear during an Arizona summer. Cotton underwear.
None of it made by slaves, or from cotton picked by slaves!
When I see a field of cotton, I smile. I don’t sing Dixie. I don’t long for the days of keepin’ the black man down! I’d worry it was because the cotton is white like me, but my arms are even redder than my neck.
