The problem for the snowflakes, is that half the south over a certain age picked and hoed cotton. Black or white, everyone did it. My mom for one.
Yes, I’ve heard that. I never lived down South, but have heard, that black and white both worked the fields. But mostly we hear of the legacy of slavery, and black sharecroppers struggling to earn a living, and then they create caricatures of slaves or black sharecroppers toiling away.
