Hobby Lobby controversy erupts after woman says cotton display is 'racist'
Many on social media have spoken out in defense of Hobby Lobby after a woman complained about the store selling an item she perceived as being racist.
The controversy began when Daniell Rider from Texas posted a picture to the company’s Facebook page last week showing cotton stems on a store shelf.
“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," Rider wrote. "A little sensitivity goes a long way.”
She ended by saying, “PLEASE REMOVE THIS ‘decor.’”
Will the insanity ever end or just get worse? Methinks it will get much worse. So..y'all that have cotton stuffing in your pillows....yer racist!!!
