Never apologize to the woke zombies—it just makes them thirsty for more blood.

Censorship is fascism.

No more complicated than that.

It wasn’t meant to insult or whatever...What about Hillary and her “Plantation” statement.

I am amazed of the ignorance of some people. Not everything is about you or your race. This is why we need to go back to the basics in school.

Wait a Cotton Picking Minute Meaning
Definition: Wait a gosh darn minute!

Origin of Cotton Picking Minute
Cotton-picking in this expression is a euphemism for a swear word, and it adds emphasis. People sometimes use this term in other cases, like keep your cotton-picking hands off of that. They use it when they want to use stronger language, but don’t want to use swear words. It usually stands in for the word damn.

Another use of cotton is keep your cotton picking hands off of me.

These phrases make more sense if you know a little about harvesting cotton. Picking cotton is a harsh, difficult task that leaves someone’s hands rough and calloused. Before the cotton gin or other mechanized approaches, this was done completely by hand, which left the workers hand extremely rough.

People of all races have picked cotton. All races. We have got to stop this nonsense.

I used that term at work once. Some woke anus gasped and said that was not a term you can say. I asked why. he said “Well, think about it, WHO picked cotton?”.

I said “well, for one mom did as a little kid in the early 1930s in Texas” And she was white.

The look was priceless.

That was mighty white of him.

Is there any word in any dictionary that can't be construed as racist, sexist, or some other kind of bias?

Gimme a word and I'll show you how it can be parsed into something negative within some obscure context. Try the article THE or the conjunction AND or the conjunction OR. Then you have the determiner word "a" that is defined as "used to indicate membership of a class of people or things. "he is a lawyer"

I hate scholars.

Inappropriate use of ‘cotton picking’. A more appropriate use would have been, “that douchebag is out of his cotton picking mind”, followed by a gentle cattle prod to his ass. He would have brought down the house.

Jeez, good thing he didn’t give a give a fellow councillor a fresh bottle of aspirin. What if they had to (horror of horrors) pull the cotton ball off of the top after opening it?

I learned this song as a kid. I had no idea it was racist.

Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder like a cotton pickin’ soldier?
Do your ears hang low?
