'SEEMs to have' is the operative phrase in your post. I have used that phrase all my life and I can promise you that not ONE time did I ever intend any kind of racial intent - nor was ever aware that it could be even considered racist.

I myself picked cotton as a kid back in the 50's. Never once did I think of blacks while I was doing it. I was just a very hard job and was mostly done in very hot weather.

You people who look at FACTs and consider that a TRUTH can be 'racist' piss me off to no end. Slavery was a FACT. Slavery ended over 150 years ago = also a FACT. Nobody alive today even has a great grandfather who was a slave.

Since the FACT that slavery existed cannot be erased, you think you can propagate the 'whites = slavers' meme for all eternity. bullshite - give it up. We are not racists. The only people I genuinely HATE are the idiots who continue to promote this hysteria of "everything we can think of is racist." You assclowns can die in a fire as far as I am concerned.

If you want to help blacks, you need to counsel them to stop believing their 'leadership' who are the ones keeping them on the plantation, harvesting them only for their voting power and using them as pawns in their ungodly quest for absolute power.

Help blacks reestablish two parent families. Help them develop a responsible work ethic. Help them value education. Help them become self-sufficient and consider welfare handouts to be shameful rather than a goal. And by "them" I mean those who are now trapped in the dysfunctional culture that they have been driven into by their DIM/LIB masters.

I loved Martin Luther King's message - 'judge a man by the content of his character, not the color of his skin."

THAT is the ONLY message that 'civil rights' activists ought to be delivering.

Point out real abuses when they occur, and you will have absolute conservative support. Dilute those occurrences with myriads of trivial 'outrages' every time someone speaks without all the ivory tower PC filters and you will continue to get reactions like this from well-meaning people.

Just stop it - and try to be honest with yourself.

My grandfather picked cotton while growing up in Arkansas. They were dirt poor. Worked from can-see to can't. Quit school in the 8th grade to work the farm. Left home at 16 to get away from that life. Spent the next few years literally hitchhiking across the country, working in hotels, diners, a saw mill, digging ditches and cutting trees (in Minnesota during the winter where he lost a finger to an equipment malfunction). When WW2 started he joined up. Came back to New Orleans and worked in plant making those landing craft; the loud equipment caused him to lose his hearing in his right ear. Eventually found his way into the oil industry.

And with all that shite, with the Great Depression, with the war, with working conditions that caused him hearing damage and loss of a finger... with all that, he still said picking cotton was the job he hated most.
