Insane: Woman Freaks Out Over Hobby Lobby's Display of Raw Cotton, Shrieking That Cotton is Oppression, Or Something

Our "elites" have taught people that it's good and profitable to be a lunatic.

A Texas woman has been getting ridiculed online for being "too sensitive" after she blasted the arts-and-crafts chain Hobby Lobby for selling faux raw cotton stalks — which she found offensive.

"This decor is WRONG on SO many levels," Daniell Rider posted on Facebook this past Thursday, along with a photo of the phony plants.

"There is nothing decorative about raw cotton…A commodity which was gained at the expense of African-American slaves," she said. "A little sensitivity goes a long way. PLEASE REMOVE THIS ‘decor.'"

The cotton in question isn't even real cotton -- it's fake. Like her practiced outrage.

And this isn't even the first case of Cotton Derangement this week.

Lipscomb University president Randy Lowry was forced to send an apology letter to black students Friday after they visited his home to discuss college life — and became outraged by a number of cotton-stem centerpieces that he had set up around the residence.

"The content of the centerpieces was offensive, and I could have handled the situation with more sensitivity," Lowry wrote. "I sincerely apologize for the discomfort, anger or disappointment we caused and solicit your forgiveness."
