My dad grew up dirt poor in Bradley County, AR and picked cotton by hand as a kid. Why is it automatically assumed by white liberals "cotton picker" has racial connotations?
That is not the criteria. The criteria is - do Blacks think the phrase has a negative connotation to their race. Which they do.

In 2019, Robstown, TX (pop. 11,261) was comprised of 93.8% Hispanics, 5.8% whites, and 0% blacks.

Why should it not matter what the residents and taxpayers of the community want?

Cairo High School in Cairo, Georgia calls its teams the Syrup Makers. I'm going to make an educated guess and say the original workers in this agricultural endeavor were black slaves. If so, should the Cairo Syrup Makers change their name? Its only a rhetorical question. My mind is already made up. Makers it is.

I didn't say anything about whether they should keep the name or not. I was responding to a post saying that white liberals assume the name is rascist.

White liberals being offended on behalf of black people again. It’s tiresome and disgusting.

White people picked cotton, too. Why did the Liberals assume that only black people did that?



The same reason liberals think only black people have ever been hanged.
They’re brain damaged idiots.
