Fox News apologizes after black Democrat told "He’s out of his “cotton picking mind”

Yes... when I was a kid, the term “cotton picking” was a substitute for “ mother fricking” ....
Had nothing to do with race.
The left is in desperation mode.

Well, you do have to admit that, of all the idioms he could have used, that is probably one of the very dumbest.

It's not if you are not sensitive bitch.

My mother told of being 6 and with other families picking cotton in Texas late depression.

They didn't speak jive.

I know some white people who grew up picking cotton in the 50s. Cotton was big in the south even then but if you could afford harvesters you picked by hand. The whole family did.

Got a flash for you. There are far, far, far more white Americans to the power of likely 50X or more who grew up picking cotton for mere survival than any other race, creed or color in these United States of America. That is the current white folks in the south, Texas and Oklahoma's legacy. Not any other. A family of 8 plus parents we were and all but Dad picked it for other folks for $2.00 a hundred and $1.50 pulled late in the season then my poor ole Mom went up and down the side of the road gathering it out of ditches where it blew off cotton trucks. My dad had 2 to 3 jobs so no he wasn't around til way after dark. So I'm proud to be called any sort of cotton picking whatever! I and my brother went into the service and then grad college on the GI bill and another retired from there.

We were desperately poor but didn't understand how bad since many others were just as bad off. And except for the town doctor and the Ford and Chevy dealers and the local mobsters who burnt buildings and collected and strong armed and did insurance jobs....everybody was dirt poor.

I ain't impressed!
