“That’s racist” or any other “victimhood” is just a shield to prevent the discussion of policies and issues.
The left actually NEVER argues their policies in the realm of “works” or “doesn’t work”. They always use their human shields to avoid these discussions.
My wife buys Vogue.
I read Julia’s articles.
She did donate to Wicker and Cao.
yes...this is a hard room
I’m white and I picked cotton in the early sixties. In fact, where I picked cotton I never saw a black person in the field. There was only us white ni........
It’s shi_ _g in tall cotton. Or Sh__ing in the tall grass with the big dogs.
Rick James, b**ch!
He is an Islamo-marxist. People keep thinking he is rational and incompetent. He is competent about destroying the USA. He and his Saudi/Soros/elite/other backers know exactly what they want.
This is coming from the left....Newsweek...see the outrage..........and double standards? =.=
LOL
You must grasp the fine points of journalism and consider them carefully.

Instead of leftist writers grasping at straws, they should gather the straw and soak up some oil with it!
I don’t know if he was the first to use it, but Tennessee Ernie Ford sure did popularize “cotton-pickin.’”
What a maroon!

There is no limit to their insanity.
Cut Reed some slack.
Cotton pickers run on oil.
Thanks to 0bama, we’re going to have to turn the clock back a couple hundred years and have our cotton picked by hand again.
