and surprisingly racist …

…huh?

I wondered about that too.

@MrDibble

I think they mean the "cotton-pickin’ "

Do you consider "cotton-picken" to be racist or offensive?

During a recent Oklahoma City Thunder game, play-by-play announcer Brian Davis said that Russell Westbrook was “out of his cotton-picken mind”. He has been suspended for today’s game. He has apologized. From what I’ve read, no one believes that Davis is a racist. The “color” announcer during the game is black and didn’t say anything or react to the phrase. I have heard the phrase my whole life and have never considered it racist or offensive. Poll coming.
