My mom was one. Half the white people in cotton country who were alive in the 1930s and 1940s picked cotton.
Cotton picking has not the slightest racial intent. I will keep saying it.

I’m with you, DesertRhino...

I am sick to death of this crap.

"...A robocall was sent to Riverview parents first thing Monday morning, alerting them to the traumatizing sign and letting parents and students know that guidance counselors and administrators were available to help students deal with the ordeal..."

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.

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.)
