Edit* As to preserving history, It would be interesting to witness this being reclaimed the way the n-word has and becoming a trend among black people tho...

If I walk in your residence and see cotton as a decoration we're having a "conversation" immediately.

It'll involve me inviting you the fuck up out my house.

I couldn't even imagine going into someone home and blasting them on their decorations.

Unless its a white dude with a bunch of racist propaganda. Then I'll just return later to burn it down.

^^^^ I in non way, shape, form, or fashion condone the views represented in the sentence. Just want to point that out that my definition of conversation is a conversation.

A cotton decoration is an extreme subliminal that tells me we need to talk.

But on the real, I would silently side-eye what you're describing. Archiving it is one thing, displaying it in your home is another...

Cotton is some extra extra nu black shit. I'm half expecting the person that uses cotton as decoration to offer an seven minute and 25 second explanation on it that does not make any sense.

I mean, obviously it's being used to provoke a conversation and clothing isn't, but it's the same storied plant isn't it?

It looks pretty - I don't think I'd do it as a white man in America lest I be accused of secretly wanting a return to slavery... I'd do it over here though and I don't think anyone would bat an eyelid apart from to say it looks pretty.

Outraged.

That's what folks want these days.

From this post you'll have folks outside ready to throw black paint on anyone walking the streets wearing something with more than 50% cotton in it. Talkin about they 50% slave owners.
