A woman in Texas berated Hobby Lobby last week for selling cotton as a decorative home accessory.
This decor is WRONG on SO many levels. There is nothing decorative
about raw cotton... A commodity which was gained at the expense of
African-American slaves.
A little sensitivity goes a long way.
PLEASE REMOVE THIS "decor".
Daniell Rider posted her complaint to the craft store’s Facebook page:
There is nothing decorative about raw cotton. A commodity which was gained at the expense of African-American slaves. A little sensitivity goes a long way.The post received close to 15,000 shares and 160,000 comments. The user, Daniell Rider, then received backlash for her sensitivity and responded to her critics:
PLEASE REMOVE this decor.
All those who are offended by cotton being a decoration need to quit buying any product made of cotton!And other users quickly came to her defense, one adding:
What difference does it make if it’s a decoration or part of a product. You’re being hypocritical if your offended by cotton being a decoration and not offended by any product made of cotton.

LIBERALISM IS REALLY IS A MENTAL DISORDER!!! This is proof number 16,456,509,750 of the disorder!

Heh... flax production was often the job of slave labor, at least in ancient times, maybe the dietary supplements industry isn’t aware yet. I’m sure they will be made aware...
Better not wear synthetics around flames/fire. The stuff melts and sticks to you or ignites.
I am offended by the man wearing the barrel. How many trees had to be cut down to provide the wood for it?
That will be the cry of the tree huggers.

Just bought three stems. FWIW, they still have a cotton stem wreath displayed as an example for their wreath stand.
Haha.
Epic.
Good on you *and* them.
