Oh, that rotten cotton. Next to go, the Cotton Bowl in Dallas?

Rick Moran: Six degrees of separation from slavery  "The war against the symbols of racism took a surreal and bizarre turn in the last week as social justice warriors took to social media to complain in two separate incidents of a hugely disturbing phenomenon.

"Who would have guessed that cotton was a trigger?

"First, Hobby Lobby made the mistake of offering for sale cotton stalks in a vase as an item to be used in home decor. Innocuous, right? Not for SJW's desperately seeking something - anything - to attack as "racist.' " . . .

Trigger warning:

She writes: This decor is WRONG on SO many levels.
There is nothing decorative about raw cotton...
A commodity which was gained at the expense
 of African-American slaves. A little sensitivity
goes a long way. PLEASE REMOVE THIS "decor".

. . . "You can see where this is headed.

1. Sugar will be removed from restaurant tables because it is a reminder of the sugar cane harvest by slaves.2. SJW's will accost people smoking or chewing tobacco, berating them for using a product grown by slaves.3. There will be a movement to outlaw rum because of it's involvement in the "Triangle Trade" during the 1800s.

"Could never happen, right? Come back and visit in a few years. What surreal attacks we can imagine will pale in comparison to the reality of how the tragically diseased minds of these snowflakes work. "

Even Hobby Lobby Cotton Is Racist These Days   "Leftists are probably wondering why no one takes claims of racism seriously anymore. After all, isn't being racist the worst thing someone can be? Yet, they scream "racism!" and no one blinks an eye. Why is that?"

"Probably because everything is racist these days. " . . .

Activist in Seminar: All White People Are Racist and Always Will Be

. . . "Please tell me how that's different than telling someone to get to the back of the bus because of the color of their skin.

"Allow me to save you the effort. It's not. Not at its core. In both cases, it's pure, unadulterated racism.

"If I were to write that all blacks were criminals in waiting, how long do you think I'd still have a job? Anywhere. I'd last fifteen minutes after it was published. Maybe."
