i think he was trying to use a description that southern knuckledraggers could relate to.
what do you think?
So, I can assume there'll be calls for Rick Sanchez's head...or, at the very least, his resignation from CNN. Right?

did you find it offensive?
I think there's a double standard on offense and indignation.
Just a cotton-picking minute! This doesn't look like the Coac a Valley to me.
no it's not racist but I get the double standard. We will see if his comments gets much airtime.
At the least, it was pretty tone-deaf.
That's ing hilarious.
He should be fired for not being very good at his job. Poor choice of words. I haven't heard "cotton-pickin'" since 1992.
I ing hate this line of thinking. Anyone who says something with even a sliver of racism suddenly needs to be fired.
Does anyone really think Rick Sanchez is a racist?
All my life I've heard people say like, "wait a cotton-pickin minute", but I NEVER related that to slavery. Never crossed my mind.
I don't think Rick Sanchez is good at his job. I wanted him fired before this, it is unrelated to this incident. I have heard it all the time as well. But it is a poor choice of words considering the President's ethnicity (even though his father was the first-generation). By the same token, I have heard "(n-word)-rigged" as well. It's just a poor choice of words. He's a little too "man of the people." Newscasters should be competent. He's not my cup of tea.
I'm not calling for his head for any reason related to this.
If you fired all the incompetent people in the MSM, there wouldn't be enough people to run the Democ... I mean MSM.
Shall we go over the hairdos and push-up bras on Fox News?
Whoopsie.
I didn't realize it either until I was watching a Looney Tunes, and realized what "cotton-picking varmint" must've referred to.
However, a newscasters has to be careful with what he says, for obvious reasons. I think that they're held to a slightly higher PC standard.
Not with Rick Sanchez. He's that midwest neighbor who tells it like it is. Another way for CNN to dominate the stupidity market.
Stupid thread.
Yoni living up to his usual standard.
Then what exactly did cross your mind? Cotton picking has some other connotation?
No one will call for Sanchez's job, he's just a goober that might as well end every statement he makes with "amiright, u guyz?" He should have never been upgraded to a desk job - go back to getting hit by flying fish, tazed, and testing out escape methods for submerged cars.
the village is missing yoni today..
Strange how an "off color" remark is a career ender for some, but not for others.
But it's not an off color remark...
I hate that guy. Racist white hispanics are the worst kind
oh and he and his show sucks.
