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.
A little sensitivity goes a long way.
PLEASE REMOVE THIS "decor".

NAME WITHHELD Daniel, sure hope the clothes you're wearing don't have cotton in them either......because that wouldn't be very sensitive!!!

NAME WITHHELD are you serious? you think that only black folks and slaves picked cotton? and why wouldn't it be decorative, it's a beautiful plant. btw.. my WHITE father picked cotton when he was 4 years old til he was able to get out of the fields with education...go get some!

NAME WITHHELD Oh, please!!! We use the cotton in wreaths and things! It has nothing to do with anything negative! It is judt beautiful!!!!
NAME WITHHELD cotton is beautiful, and i worked in the cotton fields long hard hours as a child. i am a white person. it is time people stop looking at slavery as a black thing. many white people worked in the fields ,and specking for myself i am a much stronger person for it. it it all how u look at things
I'm white and I picked cotton on my Grandmother's farm alongside black share croppers (who share in the profits when the cotton is sold), starting when I was about 4 or 5. I was not nearly as fast or as good as the sharecroppers or did I get to share in any of the profits. TO THE KILLEEN, TX FEMALE, NO slaves were involved and you are a pathetic excuse for a human being!!
