Insane: Woman Freaks Out Over Hobby Lobby's Display of Raw Cotton, Shrieking That Cotton is Oppression, Or Something
Our "elites" have taught people that it's good and profitable to be a lunatic.
A Texas woman has been getting ridiculed online for being "too sensitive" after she blasted the arts-and-crafts chain Hobby Lobby for selling faux raw cotton stalks — which she found offensive. "This decor is WRONG on SO many levels," Daniell Rider posted on Facebook this past Thursday, along with a photo of the phony plants. "There is nothing decorative about raw cotton…A commodity which was gained at the expense of African-American slaves," she said. "A little sensitivity goes a long way. PLEASE REMOVE THIS ‘decor.'"The cotton in question isn't even real cotton -- it's fake. Like her practiced outrage. And this isn't even the first case of Cotton Derangement this week.
Lipscomb University president Randy Lowry was forced to send an apology letter to black students Friday after they visited his home to discuss college life — and became outraged by a number of cotton-stem centerpieces that he had set up around the residence. "The content of the centerpieces was offensive, and I could have handled the situation with more sensitivity," Lowry wrote. "I sincerely apologize for the discomfort, anger or disappointment we caused and solicit your forgiveness."

I wish liberals would restrict themselves to inviting arrogant, ungrateful cretins into their homes, and then apologizing afterwards.
Instead they invite arrogant, ungrateful people into our country, and then apologize to them for the existence of deplorables like us.

So no more cotton clothes.
And of course, synthetics are virtually all petroleum-based so none of that
Leather is out because cute, furry animals
Rayon is plant-based, but because of the nasty environment-killing Carbon Disulfide used in it's manufacture......yep, rayon's out too
So basically, the only fabric that can be used ethically is woven from hemp fibers

You could do a whole riff on this "Don't you dare give me devil's food cake with my coffee. It's a black cake. Are you suggesting that the color brown or black is Demonic!!! " This has been going on for a while; it's just become more and more insane. When i was taking Clinical Pastoral Education at the hospital, the supervisor cautioned us about how we use the "dark" in conversation such as "The situation looked dark" because that might be offensive to black people. The black guy from Colombia in my group rolled his eyes. He thought it was ridiculous. And this was in 1992.

He was forced? Who forced him, the students. Were they armed? Is that how students forced the University president to apologize?
The article doesn't say, but I'm guessing some student sent him a hysterical tweet and he promptly responded by bending over.
I am getting seriously annoyed with the media reporting that people in a position of power were forced to do something that they actually did voluntarily. That they probably were happy to do anyway.

Not sure why it got so much attention, but the implied premise is taking a black person anywhere near raw cotton is insensitive.
So this past reality was so so so bad, that the entire race is traumatized - you have heard of second hand PTSD, well this is hereditary PTSD.
You see, Darwin was wrong after all.

Do you know what a college 'community psychology' class is like? It's totally thinking up ideas on how to interfere in other peoples lives for their own good. Ways that will lead to employment for psychology majors. The idea you come up with must be written up in a paper at least ten pages long. It's about 150% of your grade.

He knew, correctly, that if he did, say, an all-American BBQ or a sit-down dinner with tablecloths, candles, silverware, and roses in an epergne, he would be accused of flaunting his White Privilege in their faces. So he went with their foods and that offended them. Can't win with these people.

Oh ho, yes, I do. My son took such a class to fulfill a requirement at our local community college. He was one of only four males in the class, and the only one of those males who was white. Also, the only conservative in the class. Each week they had to give a presentation on a topic with detail instructions such as "racism" (I'm not kidding). He stuck to his guns on every issue, including being against the $15 minimum wage, for traditional marriage, against illegal immigration, etc. The instructor even called him to stay after class one time, saying that while he was wrong (on everything, of course - she was a black feminist lesbian former Army officer who loved loved loved Obama) - she admired him for sticking to his guns, which he probably also defended (can't remember if they actually had a gun topic).
And, to her credit, she gave him an A, which by God he earned.

It was a great learning experience and the man seemed at peace with it. He explained very calmly and reasonably about the evils of slavery and how faith played such a large role in moving beyond it. It was done so tactfully that you really developed a deep disgust for anyone involved in that practice. You could see the real human effects and still hear great the pain in his voice. But his message was one of hope and forgiveness. And he meant it.
That still sticks with me. Good times, those were, when people appealed to your compassion instead on anger and enmity.

Most historical places seem to be run by sane people and have not yet turned into SJW revisions of history: Colonial Williamsburg, Mount Vernon, Civil War battlefields keeping their confederate monuments, etc. I think people choosing to go into that discipline often have a sense that history extends beyond their limited sphere on this earth, needs proper preservation. But I fully expect to see SJWs move on to places like this too any day.

The woman, a third party is traumatized because other people might be traumatized because their ancestors might have been slaves.
----
Or, she is so ashamed of the country she lives in that she is traumatized by any reminder of it, what it stands for, or it's history.
That would be reality PTSD. Traumatized by that which is real. Or would it be "selective reality PTSD" since only some of it traumatized her - I mean, if it was me I would be more upset by anything Democrat since a modern democrat has more connection to a slave holder than a fucking plant.
Probably a mix of both

Today, Japan is perceived as hip and cool. Totally forgiven.
40 years ago, Cambodia committed a heinous genocide, killing 3 million.
Today, Cambodia is one of the trendiest overseas travel destinations for lefties.
241 years ago, the newly formed United States inherited a pre-existing system of slavery from the English, French, Spanish and Dutch colonial powers in North America, then at first set up up a governmental system which allowed those comparatively few states with slaves in them to continue, not as Federally-imposed policy, but instead as a laissez-faire hands-off system of government. Then in 1861 we switched to a hand-on "strong"-style central government and the VERY FIRST thing we did was forcibly outlaw slavery nationwide. One of the first nations in the world to do so.
That was over 150 years ago.

I used to do Civil War reenacting, and we went South, as the one and only full time Federal unit. They had us crossing this field, and we realized that this was a cotton filed that had been harvested. We stopped the advance to gawk and pick bits of cotton and stick it in our hats. After the battle, they asked us why we stopped, and we told them. We all laughed.

Went to school with a kid who used to use the round end of a bobby pin to clean out her ears.
Her name was Fanny and she also had a glass eye which on occasion would get dirty or have something stuck on it. She'd promptly pop it out, use spit and a tissue to clean it, and pop it back in.
Not a lot of fun to be at her lunch table.

I had a foreigner friend who went home with me for a weekend when I was in school down there. We passed by some fields as they were harvesting and he asked why there were so many concrete rectangles everywhere.
I'd never thought about what trailers full of cotton must look like to people who weren't familiar with it.
He saw a tobacco barn smoking once, too, and I had to explain how it wasn't on fire.

Today, Japan is perceived as hip and cool. Totally forgiven.
40 years ago, Cambodia committed a heinous genocide, killing 3 million.
Today, Cambodia is one of the trendiest overseas travel destinations for lefties.
241 years ago, the newly formed United States inherited a pre-existing system of slavery from the English, French, Spanish and Dutch colonial powers in North America, then at first set up up a governmental system which allowed those comparatively few states with slaves in them to continue, not as Federally-imposed policy, but instead as a laissez-faire hands-off system of government. Then in 1861 we switched to a hand-on "strong"-style central government and the VERY FIRST thing we did was forcibly outlaw slavery nationwide. One of the first nations in the world to do so.
That was over 150 years ago.
Today: Not forgiven.

We see northerners taking pictures of cotton fields every fall. They really are visually striking just before picking.
We used to pick those "bits of cotton" you mention. Mechanical picking isn't very efficient--a lot of cotton fiber is left. Some farmers would have hand pickers work a field after mechanical harvesting. It was called "scrapping" and it paid more than regular picking.

Posted by: gNewt at September 19, 2017 02:09 PM (t8kZU)
and the VERY FIRST thing we did was forcibly outlaw slavery nationwide.
One of the first nations in the world to do so.
That was over 150 years ago.
Today: Not forgiven.

Clearly Zombie went to a public school. Slavery was NOT outlawed nationwide until 1864 with the passage of the 13th amendment. The Emancipation Proclamation, issued in 1863 ONLY applied to Southern states.

From wikipedia:
"During and immediately following the Revolutionary War, abolitionist laws were passed in most Northern states and a movement developed to abolish slavery.
...
Beginning during the revolution and in the first two decades of the postwar era, every state in the North abolished slavery, ending with New Jersey in 1804, although in some cases existing slaves were not liberated immediately. These were the first abolitionist laws in the Atlantic World.[48][49]
In Massachusetts, slavery was successfully challenged in court in 1783 in a freedom suit by Quock Walker; he said that slavery was in contradiction to the state's new constitution of 1780 providing for equality of men."
They outlawed it as fast as they could.

It is a sweet, funny, and poignant episode that contains what has to be one of the single most sympathetic portrayals of black folks of its entire era.
So naturally it was banned back in the 60s, for reasons that no one has ever really figured out except that lots of black folks were in it so it must...somehow...be rayciss.
The episode, a true classic, has only recently regained its reputation among aficionados.

I know that. The "1861" date was the date of the adoption of the strong central government when Lincoln declared martial law nationwide. That forever changed the way the federal government worked, from a distant semi-irrelevant body to an in-your-face controlling power. And the first policy enacted after he adopted of this new type of government was the abolition of slavery nationwide.

True, with exceptions -- those areas which were already under Federal control were exempted, like New Orleans and the surrounding parishes. As has often been pointed out, Lincoln "abolished" slavery where (at that point) he had no authority to do so, and let it stand where he did have the authority.
Well, it all worked out in the end. Until now.

After a series of attacks by Muslim militants last month, security forces and allied mobs retaliated by burning down thousands of Rohingya homes in the predominantly Buddhist nation.
More than 500,000 people -- roughly half their population -- have fled to neighboring Bangladesh in the past year, most of them in the last three weeks.
And they are still leaving, piling into wooden boats that take them to sprawling, monsoon-drenched refugee camps in Bangladesh.
