That expression has been around FOREVER-——and I doubt anyone ever considered it racial-——until now.

He should not have apologized, he should have laughed in their faces.

“It’s just a saying” when its “innocently” used by the Left.Who have developed a very useful hypersensitivity and are attuned to hearing the dog whistle code words everywhere.They will pounce on then whenever and wherever they theoretically find them. Remember the Black Gongresscritter who years ago made a big deal out of someone using the word “niggardly” to mean stingy (which it does) because it sounded like “the N word”?

I live near the old Erie Canal. They used to pay the Irish immigrants $5.00 and a bottle of whiskey a day to dig the thing (I guess THEY knew the labor market they were working with — JUST KIDDING).

“I STILL use that expression”

Me, too. And I’ve never said it to a black person. It’s a common figure of speech, not racist, and Payne should’ve the better man and laughed off. Now he’s become one of the perpetually offended class.

It’s not a racist remark and the idiot should not have apologized. If the snowflake was offended by it, tough. Grow up and stop looking for ways to be offended.

The LEFT knows well the axiom that to control the language is to control the battlefield. ‘Liberal’ should never be equated with the LEFT and conservatives should have absolutely rejected the assignment of RED as done by the MSM a generation back. We are the ORIGINAL RESISTANCE, we adamantly refuse to give up our birthright for the SLOP and freebies proffered by the LEFT!

The WASPs should have picked their own cotton or brought in the Chinese.

What a colossal mistake bringing these demented animals in and setting them loose on the populace.

The communists are the new Abolitionists and are hell bent on making America a White minority.

HELL NO.

My father picked cotton. My mother-in-law picked cotton. They were both white. I’m getting sick to death of bowing down to idiots.
