You are correct.
My mother and her brothers and sisters helped their uncle pick cotton back in the 50’s, when they were kids.
For some reason, leftists are stupid enough to think that only black people picked cotton.
Leftists don’t understand how their own set of values makes them in general far more racist than any set of conservatives.
Their attitude towards affirmative action is a good example. They fail to see the corrosive effect that has on the people they claim to want to help.
