    Cotton didn't do anything but grow... The greedy people are where the evil came from.

    Um, my mom was never a slave ( obviously) but when she was little, growing up in Georgia, that's how she made money for school clothes. It was her first job. My mom was able to share stories with my son when he got his first job. I don't see this as a negative. For alot of us it's our history.

      Historically, there was a separation/decoupling of American cotton from the Eur-Afro-Asian market during the anti-English Revolution, when cotton must have became scarce in the English Empire Suddenly.
      It's symbolic to Americans because there's STILL "great responsibility which comes with great power". After all, it's certainly not Power. It's more like refuge, and using an ocean as a way to block "punches".

    Sorry man you can’t take away the negativity of pig cotton in this country called America. You can’t do it there’s no way in the world you gonna try to extinguish the negativity around picking cotton 400 years of that was enough. I understand that’s your cotton does your Cottonfield and you want to make a proper for yourself good fine go for it wish you the best but you can’t take away the negativity in the history. The negative and brutal history, black dark history of pink cotton in America, don’t try it just get out there and pick your cotton in your cotton field that you have, but don’t try to take away negativity you can it’s impossible. The legacy of the history of American Pickin cotton by blacks were always remain it would never go away.

    Black farmers recently one a one billion dollar lawsuit against the government for denying farm loans to black farmers over the decades. It’s a shame so many farmers lost their land before this happened, 12 million acres, I believe. Go and buy some land, even if it’s just a little place.
