What's one of the main crops of the post-civil war southern USA? When it is mature, how is it harvested (picked), and by whom?
Hint: Here's what it looked like when that bicycle was made...
Not EVERYTHING is racist.

Only 20% owned slaves. A lot of cotton was picked by non-slaves and white folks.

I heard a guy behind a tent at the large county fair one year complaining about having to wash the elephant, walk the elephant, feed the elephant, and clean up behind the elephant. I remarked to him that if he was so unhappy with his job he should just quit. He quickly retorted to me, "What? ... and give up show business?"

How many slaves did that 20% own? Even if each of them only owned one slave that picked cotton, 20% of the population picked cotton as slaves. Consider that people consider Nazis racist, and the population of Jews was less than 2% of the total European population, how much more so would be the exploitation of 20% of the population? That's why some of the population now doesn't care for the term "cotton picker".

Just to keep things in context, here is the question which prompted my reply:
I'm well aware that sometimes, "a cigar is just a cigar" and I wasn't challenging the name of the bicycle.

I didn't want to bring these out, but here goes:
How many business majors does it take to change a light bulb?
Just one, but he gets 3 credit hours for it.
How many marines does it take to change a light bulb?
100. One to hold the bulb, 99 to spin the house around.
How many counselors does it take to change a light bulb?
Just one, but the bulb has to want to change.
How many mice does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Just two, but they have to be really small.

Well, usually that happens when I'm lounging and I have to go chase a cat or get something out of its mouth or save the pot of catnip from inquisitive noses. I suppose it would also happen if @2-Bit Speed knew I was about to pinch him and so I'd have to chase him to do so...but I haven't tried that yet, so I'm not sure.

Should this go in "Maintenance Bay"?
An English teacher was reviewing future, past, and present tenses with their English class.
She posed this question: “‘I am beautiful’ is what tense?”
One student raised their hand and replied “Past tense.”

The funniest thing I might have ever seen on a car: driving north from Denver on I-25 towards Ft Collins a small SUV passed me. It was coated like this image. On the back someone had drawn a bunch of those petroglyph-style images complete with handprints.
Are those like cave drawings?

Exactly.
