Man in red shirt: “The most racist field trip I have ever been on in my fuckin’ life- they took us to a fuckin’ cotton processing place, and it was a bigass cotton field out in the middle of [inaudibe] Alabama, in the south of Montgomery county. We went there, and me, and 28 other little n**lets in Miss Harpers 3rd grade classroom, they took our asses out there in the middle of the fuckin’ August heat and said “Hey,”- y’all, they gave us bags and shit, like little cute little plastic bags, with a cute- with a cotton puff person, with a smile on his face and they’re like “Hey, y’all go out there, have fun, pick as much cotton as you want.” and so my stupid ass went. You know? I went, my mama signed off on it and didn’t think about it, and I went to the fuckin’ field trip, out there in the fields just havin’ a good ‘ol time. We was singin’ songs and shit! In the middle of the motherfuckin’ field. Pickin’ goddamn cotton in the middle of the fuckin’ heat, and then, you know, I’m thinking because it’s a field trip, they told us “You can pick as much as you want!” Hey, you can keep the goddamn cotton. You can keep it. So I was like, yeah, I’mma keep it, so we go to get back to the bus and they were like “Alright kids, turn your bags in!” and they took our asses inside and took all the damn cotton we had, and then told us to get back on the fuckin’ bus. So me, being a little rebel, I took a handful of cotton, stuffed it in my pocket, and went home. Then, my mama came, she was doing laundry the next night, she was like “What the fuck- is this cotton in your back pocket?” and I was like “Yeah!” “Where the hell did you get unprocessed, raw cotton from?” “Well, yesterday on that field trip, they took us to a- a cotton processing plant, and we got to pick cotton all day long.” My mama came to the school and- I swear to god, that shit went down. She locked this woman in a room and “How dare you jive-ass motherfuckers take my kid and all these other ashy little n****s to a fuckin’ cotton field in the middle of the summer? You fuckin’ soulless bitch!” She fuckin’ checked me outta school, I didn’t go to school for three days behind that shit! She said “I don’t wanna have to look at that bitch!” She was pissed at everybody. Yes. That was the most racist shit I have ever gone through in my life. I didn’t even understand what was wrong until the next year. I didn’t even understand. I just thought we was just going to have some fun in the field. Fuck that shit.” [trails off]
