So did white people.

The first one to mention race is the racist.

slaves once upon a time picked cotton in the south...so did everyone else...

the term comes from the fact that time seems to go slower when you are picking cotton...something a slave owner would know nothing about, so if someone uses the phrase, it is because someone in their family actually picked cotton at one point... but don’t let that get in the way of a good lynching.
