Or this pile of COTTON. Imagine how many slaves it took to pick enough cotton to make all the money.

A Texas woman has been getting ridiculed online for being “too sensitive” after she blasted the arts-and-crafts chain Hobby Lobby for selling faux raw cotton stalks — which she found offensive.=
“This decor is WRONG on SO many levels,” Daniell Rider posted on Facebook this past Thursday, along with a photo of the phony textile plants.
“There is nothing decorative about raw cotton…A commodity which was gained at the expense of African-American slaves,” she said. “A little sensitivity goes a long way. PLEASE REMOVE THIS ‘decor.'”
Rider, who is black, appeared to take the picture of the cotton herself after spotting it at a Hobby Lobby in Killeen, TX.

LOL! Well, he is a Republican and and my goodness, his last name is "Cotton."
He clearly must resign. /s
Good people of Arkansas, please elect someone with the last name of "Burrito" or some other more pc-friendly name. LOL!
I never picked cotton
But my mother did
And my brother did
And my sister did
And my daddy died young
Workin’ in a coal mine
When I was just a baby
Too little for the cotton sack
I played in the dirt
While the others worked
‘Til they couldn’t straighten up their backs
And I made myself a promise
When I was old enough to run
That I’d never stay a single day
In that Oklahoma sun
OMG! MY EYES! MY EYES!
Oh this is too much to take. /s
LOL!!!
Exactly so.
Cotton-picken fingers — who knew.
This is satire.
That IS racist. I hope FR is not judged by your racism.
Slaves were taken by conquerors after the conquerors vanquished the battle losers.
To proclaim oneself as an African-American brought here on slaveship is to proclaim oneself as a loser.
Over 150 years later the majority are still a bunch of losers. And the Africa they revere is still the land of slavery.
Written by Bobby George and Charles Williams the song was recorded and released by Roy Clark in 1970. Johnny Cash covered it in the 90’s.
Yes, well put. They are just bullies.
They need to jump down turn around!
I worked down south and met a lot of people who had picked cotton during the depression. Both white and black.
All of this faux offended BS is about training general society to be fearful ... which makes the perpetually "offended" holding the power.
That is ALL this is about.
Close down all KFCs ....
I’d love to see the fit she pitches when she has to change her Tampon!
