Every time I read a thread of this nature I think to myself and I’ve said it before: “I will not be surprised when cotton becomes racist”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It already is. I went looking for the link - couldn’t find it - but I well remember a story within the last year or two of a retail store using raw cotton as a decorative display or something like that.
Naturally a black person took offense and made a scene crying racism and stuff like that.
I think this happened in New York City.
I did find a link. Slate. Figures.
