I am...very confused why the mere mention of the cotton plant in the presence of a Black American has her gasping and apologetic for being insensitive. It's okay to be excited about the cool properties of cotton without stopping to acknowledge its associations with slavery, actually. What an absurd transition to go from 'here's a weird plant fact!' to 'yeah, bizarre. btw did you know my ancestor was a slave.'
