Nothing “The Greek” said that got him fired was incorrect

Russell Westbrook, was having another spectacular game. He had just made a pass setting up a basket -- one of a stunning 19 assists he made in the game -- when Davis put an exclamation point on the Westbrook pass, saying Westbrook was playing "out of his cotton-pickin' mind."
Davis is white and Westbrook is black, in case you haven't figured that out. And in case you have absolutely no knowledge of history, slaves once upon a time picked cotton in the South.
So reparations for the ugly past had to be paid, more than 150 years after slavery ended. How? By taking what passes for the moral high ground. The Thunder suspended Davis for one game. No fooling.

One game suspension!
Now wait just a cotton-pickin’ minute!
(See no harm)
Plenty of whites picked cotton, too.
Cotton picker
The mechanical cotton picker is a machine that automates cotton harvesting in a way that reduces harvest time and maximizes efficiency. Mechanical cotton picking began to be practical in 1944, when International Harvester produced the first dozen of their successful commercial cotton pickers.
Political correctness is mass self delusion, limits the individual’s ability to think and analyze and above all makes people who subject themselves to such limitations very easy to control and manipulate. It is a prerequisite for socialism.
Of course. But the Libs shame them into staying on the plantation.
“More Blacks need to speak out about this sort of PC BS”
Are you kidding? They use this kind of crap to further advance their agenda.
What bothered me was the Journalist apologizing for saying it. I think it was John Wayne who said, apologizing is a sign of weakness, and he’s right.
The mechanical RICE picker, on the other hand, can do outstanding feats of tissue realignment without the need for costly surgery.

...slaves once upon a time picked cotton in the South.
The first one to mention race is the racist.
That's my white privilege, my folks taught me a work ethic.
The cotton picker didn’t completely replace the human until the 60’s.
slaves once upon a time picked cotton in the south...so did everyone else...
the term comes from the fact that time seems to go slower when you are picking cotton...something a slave owner would know nothing about, so if someone uses the phrase, it is because someone in their family actually picked cotton at one point... but don’t let that get in the way of a good lynching.
“The first one to mention race is the racist.”
Always.
“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.” ~ Theodore Dalrymple
I did.
My parents picked cotton.
