I think they’ve finally wore me down.

A Fox News host apologized on air to viewers after a segment in which a pro-Trump white guest told a Democratic Party strategist who is black that he was 'out of his cotton-picking mind.'

I guess words are more hurtful than sticks and stones now....

I saw that episode and immediately thought "on no". It was not said with disrespect, but I had a funny feeling it would not end well.

The very existence of people like us is offensive to the lib progs.

You can’t eat, speak in public, fill your car at a filling station, walk your dog in a park, shop at a store without being accosted, threatened, humiliated, assaulted, inconvenienced, harrassed, etc.

Law and order is being neutralized, ignored, gelded.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

How stupid are these idiots. It's no different than him saying you're out of your fucking/darn/god damn/gosh mind. The saying has nothing to do with picking cotton or slavery. It's simply a substitution for curse words.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil...

I guess Roy Clark's family was all black, except his father. Refer to the lyrics of "I Never Picked Cotton."

"I never picked cotton
But my mother did and my brother did
And my sister did and my daddy died young
Workin' in the coal mine.

When I was just a baby too little for a cotton sack
I played in the dirt while the others worked till they couldn't straighten their backs
And I made myself a promise when I was big enough to run
That I'd never stay a single day in that Oklahoma sun.

And I never picked cotton
But my mother did and my brother did
And my sister did and my daddy died young
Workin' in the coal mine.

Folks said I grew up early and in the farm that couldn't hold me then
So I stole ten bucks and a pickup truck and I never went back again
And it was fast cars and whiskey long haired girls and fun
I had everything that money could bring and I took it all with a gun.

But I never picked cotton
But my mother did and my brother did
And my sister did and my daddy died young
Workin' in the coal mine.

It was Saturday night in Memphis when a redneck grabbed my shirt
And when he said go back in your cotton sack I let 'I'm dyin' in the dirt
They'd take me in the mornin' to the gallows just outside
And in the time I've got there ain't a hullava lot that I can look back on with pride.

But I never picked cotton
But my mother did and my brother did
And my sister did and my daddy died young
Workin' in the coal mine.

But I never picked cotton
But my mother did and my brother did
And my sister did and my daddy died young
Workin' in the coal mine..."

Let me remind you: Thunder broadcaster says cotton pickin mind

Update: He has basically been fired. His contract was not renewed. There’s huge amounts of money in pro basketball and the players are pampered.

And he’s out!!!

I just don’t fucking care. I’ll use whatever words I want and if you think I’m racist you can fuck yourself. So tired of this snowflake shit.

I’m near the point where I’d accept the last straw to be drawn. Libs can bring it. They need to be taught what they’ve forgotten.

I spent my first thirteen years in as West Texas as it gets, I knew a cotton farming family from my grandparent's church. They were white and employed whites and migrant Mexicans.

Never saw a black person picking cotton.

I saw the same segment live when it happened too. Even though i use that phrase fairly often, I had a feeling immediately that it would somehow get him in deep crap. I guess it did. The term isn't at all racist, but then again, I guess everything is nowadays. Roll Eyes

Now a days everything is racist if it is said by anyone other than a black person.

I've decided to start using this phrase even more often now. I'm going to say it at least once every day for as long as i can remember to. Screw these delicate idiots.

It's just as racist then, but you're not allowed to comment on it.

I always thought it was simply a variant of the expression “You’ve been out in a sun too long”.

By their logic, arguably just as racist a statement in at least a handful of ways I can think of immediately.
