Much of the accusations towards fox are true, but they equally apply to most of the other news networks too, but I don’t see multiple threads complaining about then.

Poor choice of words for sure. But I don’t think it was racially motivated, at least I have no reason the assume it was. that’s a common phrase that has lost its racial roots long ago. Sort of like “the pot calling the kettle black.” People say it all the time not even realizing the meaning has racial roots. I’ve heard both said many, many times and rarely ever towards anyone black.Gern Blansten said:

I was always told it did, it implies that being black is bad. But I’ve never looked it up myself. But that doesn’t change my point, cotton oickin mind is a common phrase, and my guess is more likely a lack of judgement that an intentional racial remark.oftenreading said:

No, if you look at the origin, it implies that being dirty is bad.mace1229 said:

As for the cotton picking remark, I agree it wasn’t likely a deliberately racist remark but it was sure a startlingly stupid remark to make when speaking to an African American. You have to be at least somewhat mindful of history.

I just googled the origin of the saying before reading your link and actually read the same one. It seems you’re right, the origin doesn’t have any racial meaning. But I found it funny it points out people often avoid that phrase for thinking it does. So at least I wasn’t the only one who has been told that.oftenreading said:
