Leftists are probably wondering why no one takes claims of racism seriously anymore. After all, isn't being racist the worst thing someone can be? Yet, they scream "racism!" and no one blinks an eye. Why is that?
Probably because everything is racist these days. Check out this complaint about Hobby Lobby:
Oh boy.
Is it wrong that I'm thinking about heading to Hobby Lobby in a bit to pick up some "home decor"? No, I'm not racist. I just think it's freaking hysterical that cotton is now racist.
In fairness, out of the 150,000+ comments on this thread, there's not a lot of support for this line of thinking. Unsurprisingly, most of the comments seem to be outright mocking the claim.

Ban Islam. Islam allows slavery, and most current day slavers are Muslims
you’re not wrong.
Should’a picked our own damned cotton! < /sarc >

No “s” is necessary.
Many years ago an old man told me that “We should have learned to pick our own damned cotton”. He was serious.
Curses upon every descendant of those who brought slaves over to the New world.
Lordy, if she drives outside of Kileen in Sept or Oct she is gonna have a stroke, cotton fields run for miles in East Texas.
I have begun to answer every accusation of being racist with,”Of course I’m racist, what’s wrong with you?” It either stops the conversation or the snowflake starts screaming, “YOU ADMIT YOU ARE ALL RACIST!!!” I just smile and leave.
Damn Russians! I’m sick of it!
Africa is racist for supplying slaves.
If a certain group is offended then they don’t need to be there anyway.
Yes, someone should take a photo of cotton balls and sarcastically call it a “racist display”.
The level of pathetic these attention whores are is off the charts.
Pier 1 has a beautiful wreath with cotton bolls featured. I would put it on my front door if I had it.
I bought some made of artificial cotton.
***Curses upon every descendant of those who brought slaves over to the New world.***
Careful! Some of those slaves were English and Irish prisoners who would rather live here as slaves than be hanged in England.
Raising rice was by far the worse task a slave could have. Cotton was a breeze by comparison.
Well remember cotton fields north of Dallas in my youth and what an unpleasant looking sight... Who in their right mind would PAY to put the ugly plant in the home?? We would have said they must’ve escaped from Terrell (nut house) ha ha hee hee ho ho
Imagine how different things would be if there had never been slaves in America.

No, curses upon on the people who did it, not the descendants.
Bringing slaves to America was something that is still causing damage over 150 years later.
