Semper Fi - 1775 |
I think they’ve finally wore me down. https://dailym.ai/2MVEcDq 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.' ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | ||

I guess words are more hurtful than sticks and stones now.... A pocketful of posies is no longer allowed as they may harm the kids with allergies. We will never know world peace, until three people can simultaneously look each other straight in the eye Liberals are like pussycats and Twitter is Trump's laser pointer to keep them busy while he takes care of business - Rey HRH. | |||

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. Niech Zyje P-220 Steve | |||

| I believe in the principle of Due Process  |
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. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ WE.....all know that. It's the idiot Libtards that don't know. JSMH...on a daily basis. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

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..." | |||

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. "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it." L.Tolstoy "A government is just a body of people, usually, notably, ungoverned." Shepherd Book | |||

Telling a liberal that he/she actually has a mind?  "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

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. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

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.  ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

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. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

It's just as racist then, but you're not allowed to comment on it. I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. | |||

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. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||
