    Decorative cotton At Hobby Lobby causes controversy

    Decorative cotton At Hobby Lobby causes controversy

    (CBS) – A post to Hobby Lobby’s Facebook page has gone viral after a woman wrote that she was offended by the company’s decorative cotton stems.

    Daniell Rider wrote to Hobby Lobby that she found the cotton sprays offensive because of their connection to the history of American slavery and asked the store to remove the item.

    “This decor is WRONG on SO many levels. There is nothing decorative about raw cotton… A commodity which was gained at the expense of African-American slaves.

    Do you guys remember this type of nonsense before President Obama was elected.

    The "I'm offended" by just about anything groups? The statue issues and stuff like the cotton displays?

    People need to get over it. America has become a land of people just waiting to be offended by something.

    Good thing our forefather's are not around to see what Pu$$ies we have become... no one alive remembers what Slavery was like, they read about it or saw a movie about it. It only exists as a thought form. It doesn't exist anymore.

    Having a victim mindset is most repressive act.

    I don't know the exact year.. The book of photos this was in had dates from 1915 upwards of 1936






    When people say they are poor or don't have any opportunities it's a far stretch compared to 100 years ago.
