Daniell Rider? to Hobby Lobby
September 14 at 7:13pm · Killeen, TX ·
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".

A major crafts store is under fire over a store display that one woman called "racist' in a Facebook post.

Last week, Daniell Rider posted a photo of a vase of cotton flowers on display in a Hobby Lobby in Texas, saying the decor was "wrong on so many levels."

Rider added, "There is nothing decorative about raw cotton...A commodity which was gained at the expense of African-American slaves." Rider also asked the store to remove the decor.

Rider's post, which she posted on Hobby Lobby's Facebook page has been shared over 16,000 times and commented on over 177,000 times.

So far, Hobby Lobby has yet to respond to Rider's claims.

Outrageous. According to Aaron Neville that is the fabric of our lives.

If Daniell Rider sees cotton and thinks of African Americans, then she is a racist.

My shirt is made of 100% cotton. I guess that makes me a racist.

So I'm guessing she lost her shite when she turned down Hobby Lobby's twine and rope section.

If those college student SJWs don't mention the centerpiece last week, this woman never makes a peep about this.

These prog filth piggyback off of each other's bullshite so predictably.

It's a Fall decoration. It has zero to do with slavery way back when.

What happens if some people drive on roads with cotton fields? Do the owners have to remove the cotton so it doesn't offend?

It's like playing a game of "top this" to see what the most ridiculous thing is that they can be offended about.

Color me shocked. She looks worse than my a-hole after Taco Bell.

Hopefully Hobby Lobby tells her to shove her Africa earrings up her arse and go play in traffic.
