When I read things like this, I become quite discouraged. In years gone by, this would be great parody.
But today, it isn't. Unbelievable.
You can also bet that not a single, solitary one of them would understand that “bloody shirt” reference, either.
When real hard times come, this segment of people are going to be a real drain.
Where we’ve gotten to, is that it is a punishable offense to offend certain people (but only CERTAIN people). The penalty can range from reprimand, to being fired and made unemployable, to being a target for violence.
But, only CERTAIN people have the right to punish others for offending them. If you are a white, straight, Christian male, then you are out of luck. People can produce “art” like “Piss Christ”, have it be funded by your tax dollars, and if you dare to complain, then YOU will b labeled a “hater”.
HA!
Funny kid, he’s been called a Racist his whole like anyway, why not have some fun making the entire school district piss themselves.
When I was a little baby,
My Mama would rock me in the cradle
In them there, ol’ cotton fields at home
When I was a little baby,
My Mama would rock me in the cradle
In them there, ol’ cotton fields at home
Oh when them cotton balls bet rotten
You can’t pick very much cotton
In them there, ol’ cotton fields at home
It was down in Louisiana,
Just a mile from Texarkana
In them there ol’ cotton fields at home.
Now it may sound very funny,
But you didn’t make very much money,
In them there, ol’ cotton fields at home
Yes it might sound very funny,
But you didn’t make very much money,
In them there, ol’ cotton fields at home
Oh when them cotton balls bet rotten
You can’t pick very much cotton
In them there, ol’ cotton fields at home
It was down in Louisiana,
Just a mile from Texarkana
In them there ol’ cotton fields at home.
I was over in Arkansas,
When the sheriff asked me
“What did you come here for ?”
In them there, ol’ cotton fields at home
Yes I was over in Arkansas,
When the sheriff asked me
“What did you come here for ?”
In them there, ol’ cotton fields at home
Oh when them cotton balls bet rotten
You can’t pick very much cotton
In them there, ol’ cotton fields at home
It was down in Louisiana,
Just a mile from Texarkana
In them there ol’ cotton fields at home.
A new radio station came on the air in Raleigh and played this song continuously for several days.
White American 11 year old coal miners in 1908, forty-three years after slavery was abolished.
This wasn't an act of innocence or ignorance.
This was defiance.
This kid knew exactly what he was doing and that doing it would provoke the exact reaction that it did.
It's the entirely predictable backlash to the "everything is racist!" mentality that rules society. Kids are getting sick of it. "You wanna see racist? I'll show you racist!"
It doesn’t have to be picked by hand.There is a machine that does it now.
Most people in this country have not experienced real hardship or persecution. This is why everything is labeled a racist crisis and why we have sjws.
>> My mom was one. Half the white people in cotton country who were alive in the 1930s and 1940s picked cotton <<
My mom too. She said that during the 1920’s, the public schools in her country closed for a couple of weeks every September, so that all the kids — white and black — could pick cotton.
(And they were usually joined by any parents and other able-bodied adults who didn’t have regular employment.)
Well said and spot on.
