Same here. My grandpa planted 20 acres of peas. I hated him for that. Then I had to watch Days of our Lives with my grandma as we all sat around shelling them.

They’re pretty overweight. You sure these are slaves?

Yea my Cajun grandmother used to tell me about her hands swelling up from picking so much cotton in Rayne. She had 11 brothers and sisters, and my grandad had 9. Both told me how they and their siblings went to school only long enough to read and write, then dropped out to pick cotton and work
More and more I keep thinking about that old saying:
Strong men make good times,
Good times make weak men
Weak men make hard times
Hard time make strong men
We have had good times for a very long time...

Yet the cotton decor I bought at Kirkland's is absolutely offensive?

Hell no, he was a hard working American kid trying to help provide for the family.
They were poor and couldn't afford slaves

Both of my parents also picked cotton in North Louisiana and I am not black.

I don't see any cotton stalks.
They are picking like honey bees flitting around. Nobody is staying in their row.
I think it is historically accurate. There wouldn't be any cotton to pick on June 19 in any year past or present.

So once and for all, can anyone give a correct description of this holiday? Is it about slavery? Is it linked to gay pride/the month of June? Just black people that are gay? Like their own celebration within their race?
Is it another made up thing like Kwonza?

Bought my back to school clothes and a car by working in tobacco (cropping backer) for 6 summers straight. This was in the 70s and 80s before migrants became commonplace. Hot arse work and dirty. Wanes in comparison to what our fathers or grandfathers persevered in the 30s and 40s, but still i look at posers like these blacks and laugh

Purely performative adoption of the trials of others so they can selfishly choose to cloak themselves in the victimization of people they've never met.

They're tied with woke-joke white people for being the dumbest, most easily manipulated people on the planet.

My favorite song from the movie, "The Jerk"...
… Oh Lordy, pick a bale of cotton
Well oh Lordy, pick a bale a day
Well oh Lordy, pick a bale of cotton
Well oh Lordy, pick a bale a day
… You got to jump down, turn around and pick a bale of cotton
You got to jump down and turn around and pick a bale a day

Did your mother work at a nuclear powerplant while she was pregnant? Because you would have to be stupid on a level beyond human comprehension to truly believe that civil war reenactors are the same level of dumb.

I think both activities are dumb. Hell, reenacting a war you lost might be even dumber

The J19 celebration should be about freedom, not slavery.

Meh. Fans of history. Still silly to lump these two together considering the context.
Some might say living on a message board is dumb.

I live and let live. I can think something is dumb but as long as it doesn't affect me or my family IDC what people do. That doesn't mean I will refrain from making fun of it.
