Same question I have, why a Baptist Church would want a racist Muslim to come and speak! I'm white, and I've picked cotton. If cotton price rises like oil, we'll all be wanting that job of picking cotton.

No kidding.

I lease land to several cotton farmers right now (used to farm it myself; too much work!)

They've done so well, I keep threatening to up my percentage (in-laws, alas, so I can't really do it!).

I too have picked cotton. If a pound of cotton could be sold and the proceeds would buy as much of other things as was the case in the fifties then I could go into the field after the mechanical picker has left and gather a good living from the leftovers.
