My dad and six siblings were raised on a 200 acre cotton farm near Crowville, La. They picked their own damn cotton. I guess that makes me a descendant of white slavery. Where do I apply for my reparation check?

Then complains about it.


Because CA has mandates and restrictions out the wazoo, and that's why people are leaving in droves.

It has to be grown somewhere. Where does she think tampons come from - cotton. Lets cancel cotton.

My sweet grandmother had to drop out of the middle school in the 30’s and early 40’s to pick cotton to help feed her family

She would tell of carrying her sack down the cotton rows in the MS heat and picking until her hands were raw… carrying the bag up to the scale and hoping it would be enough… if not… she’d have to continue picking until it weighed enough or the sun went down

There’s this notion out there that all white people are rich and well off and never struggled and never had hard times and it’s so infuriating

Here is an idea. Lets ban growing cotton in America and leave it to the Chinese to grow it.

She would be shock if she went to a slaughter house for cows, pigs, or chickens.

Nope, tampon bushes. Northeast La. has orchids of them. The string is actually the stem between the tampon and bush but when soaked in a solution of salt and vinegar it appears string-like.

Lot's of po' white folks picked cotton, particularly Czechoslovakian immigrants in places like Texas and Louisiana, but mostly Texas.

Very true. A field of black midgets picking tampons off of three foot high bushes is a sight to behold. We call it the salt and pepper harvest.

My dad won the National Cotton Picking Championship in 1959. True story.

My brother and I had to "chop" cotton growing up. That is, go up and down the cotton rows and chop out the weeds and grasses growing in the rows. Rows were 1/4 to 1/3 mile long. Those were some long days spent for about $15. Forgot to mention, we're whiteys.

Heard a broadcaster say "he's got a long row to hoe" and wondered if he had a clue what it means....

It looked like that airbnb had a kitchen, too.

Black people used to work in the kitchen in the slave days.

TRIGGERED.

Moved here when I was 4 (same year) to be closer to family. Dad was in the army (Vietnam).

His family lived on a reservation in Oklahoma.

We lived with them for about a year and a half.

I don’t remember much from my time there (I was too young). I mean, who remembers being three or younger.

Tell the bitch to get out of the "Cotton State" and don't come back. BTW: The state is also known as the "Heart of Dixie".
