Racial healer Lou Dobbs explains how he's sick of "cotton pickin'" black leaders telling him how he can and can't talk about race (he catches himself at the last minute -- sorta)

Lou Dobbs is a clown, but when did saying cotton picking become taboo?

I can't believe Lou Reed said it

yeah...not surprising at all...just hysterical to watch....
nothing like a blunder like that to confirm to everyone what an ass-hat you are..(not that there was much doubt)what's brutal about the guy i think, is that he often can have useful insights on the economy, and how it's going down the tubes, its just that little habit he has of blaming every single thing on immigrants ...odd, that.

Hasn't "cotton picking" moved past any reference to slavery. I understand it's where the term originated and in racially sensitive discussions it's not bright to use it (when every word is going to be analyzed for deeper meaning). I lived in Montgomery, Ala for many years and that term was used across the board black and white (assuming they were over 45 or so). Just seems like a small gaffe to try and make something out of; I'm sure he's said some other things that were more worthy of taking issues with.
- Using of the word or phrase "lynching" also has a reference to slavery or hate crimes as well.utopian
- Yeah but context is everything...he's ranting about how blacks don't have a leg to stand on because America is so un-racist and then lets fly with a racial epithetukit
- un-racist and then lets fly with a racial epithetukit
- I agree with you, too many double-standards if you ask me...utopian
- I understand that, but "cotton picking" is just a poorly chosen word that he was quick enough to catch, doubt there's any hidden meaningvoiceof
