But it’s not really about “picking cotton”.
It’s about yanking people out of the inner city (where “everything is free”) and telling them they now have to be agricultural workers.
The perception is definitely going to be “I ain’t picking cotton for no white man”. It doesn’t matter if cotton is involved or not. And it doesn’t matter if we now have AC.
You gotta jump down, turn around, pick a bale of cotton.
Jump down, turn around, pick a bale a day.
