“Offensive” Hobby Lobby Decoration Goes Viral For Being Problematic
Pictured: People entering their local Hobby Lobby, which currently has a Problematics on sale for 50% off.
A decoration that has been on Hobby Lobby’s shelves for as long as I can remember has gone viral after a post on the store’s Facebook Page went viral.
As you can tell from the posts’s stats – 16,000 likes, 166,000 comments, and 15,000 shares – apparently this struck a chord with the social justicey elements out there.
Historically speaking, however, this Facebook post is ridiculous. Cotton is not something that was only available when the Americas brought African slaves over to pick it.
Historians trace cotton in China, for example, back to 200 B.C., and production of cotton cloth began sometime in the third century A.D. In Pakistan, meanwhile, cotton production goes back way further, sometime between 2000-2500 B.C.
People go looking for a grievance, and history be damned. It’s stupid, this Facebook post is stupid, the fact that it went viral is stupid, and the fact that we have to address basic historical facts to counter outrage culture is stupid.
Everything is stupid.

When everything is racist, nothing is racist. So stop worrying about it. This ignorant cant should sit down and have a nice cup of STFU.
That idiot was probably wearing cotton when she made that post.
Here’s an idea.
Ban History itself.
Do not study, or teach it in any learning institutions.
It should be banned to discuss it, or read about it.
Jail them for being a Domestic Terrorist, a racist, or a criminal. Why not just make stuff up about these ‘types’ of people and make them pay.
Make the penalties harsh, to deter anyone who dares to ‘talk’ about the past.
Heaven forbid anyone who tries to learn from the past. That would be the ‘worst of the worst’ type of person(s).
Yes, let’s try that for the ones who rule.
Wow, this just keeps getting more and more asinine..
Give me a break already..
The only racists are the ones who keep screaming racist..
Would this administration plz, ftlog, give us a see-something-say-something hotline, but just against antifa terrorists. (Bilingual options will not be necessary.)
When are antifa going to start destroying the true symbol of slavery ? You know, the pieces of paper with a slave owners portrait upon it.
