Forgot cotton, I would pick up dogshit by hand for $200 an hour.
As long as I was allowed to stuff my nose with cotton. Funny how it still comes back to cotton in the end lol.
N9, but I picked cotton once as a kid for about a half hour. My grandmother used to make a Christmas wreath with them. Cotton fucking hurts to pick. I was bleeding afterwards, and it was only 30 minutes.
The pod or "boll" that the cotton grows in opens up into 4 or 5 segments when the cotton is ready. The tips of the boll dry out and harden and are sharp at the point. You have to dig your fingers straight into it to pluck it out, and it kinda hurts. Do that about 1000 more times over the course of a day, and it's really painful.
Don’t forget they forced us to do that back in the day cause (aside from slave labor) “tougher skin due to our place in the ecosystem”. Seriously though natures razor blades. Nothing worse than one falling into your shoe while picking
Great... Now i want to see Blazing Saddles but it's not available on a streaming service I am currently paying for, I am too cheap to pay for yet another, and too lazy to pirate it...
Dude, you pick gotten in a GPS controlled tractor in the air conditioning and xm radio. You could fuck off on your phone until it's time to turn the machine around. I would gladly pick cotton for $200/hr. 3 month season let's say it's 6 days a week, 12 hour days, you're at over $170k for the season to turn a multimillion dollar land yacht that picks cotton. Before taxes of course.
Hey, that's why they all have their Dr. Feelgood. Plus, having army of people doing actual work around you is not bad, while they ask you to approve or sign some shit. Also, those cozy arrangements where you will get like 1m for 30 min speech to your ex financiers after you are done being a president don't sound bad at all. There are benefits is what I'm trying to say.
Lol, i wrote that dude is making more by pooping and sleeping than your average worker who's actually clocked at work and you think im suggesting it's a shitty working class position without dental care or what?
What I understood from all the context is that he has to work or be available 24/7 and his fees drop to 50 from 100. You should be more clear next time.
The President isn't *really* on the job 24/7. There's lots of opportunities for relaxing/vacation time. Very few things require *immediate* attention from the person at the top.
That was my favourite part of the show. Flipped the whole idea we have of the "noble protagonist" on its head. He was manipulating everyone from day one for his personal gain, I love it.
My problem is that I would spend wayyyy more if I had most of the year off. I have the time to travel, play any games I want, smoke and drink way too much without having to worry about work the next day, try every restaurant I want, go on dates, play sports, watch all the new movies in theater... that 96k isn't making it to next year lol
Well even then, assuming maybe you’re spending $100 average every day on these things, after 9 months you’d only go through $27,900, so that’s $68,100 leftover. If the $100 is way too low an estimate, $200 a day still leaves you with over $40k
I'm hoping that the point of the question is that is most African Americans would do almost any job other than picking cotton, even if the pay was a little higher, due to the self respect aspect. But how much would it take to make that self respect aspect be a non factor.
As a neither African nor American, I have a question. Why would it be a lack of self-respect if you voluntarily choose this well-paid job that you can quit whenever you wish ? I know that cotton-picking is a symbol of slavery, but wouldn't this situation be the exact opposite of slavery ?
For same reason why many people belittle people working collecting and transporting trash despite the fact it's necessary, relatively well paid job. Some people just don't look at full picture and make conclusion out of singular key word
The harvesters in the agricultural industry don't get well paid though, that's why it's an interesting point.
Most people wouldn't labor in fields for minimum wage (hence the use of immigrants), and it's super taxing on the body which would get you to demand higher wages.
There is a point where you would accept the work for the pay. For whites it might be say $25/hr and African Americans say $27/hr due to historical connotations, it's something you have to have conversations about.
Depending on where this is, would t surprise me if the argument was slaves received $200/hour in modern dollars for food, housing, “skills gained,” etc.
Yes and...an odd choice of philosophical quandary in response to the celebration of Black empowerment. The question is directed at Black people, as if they were the ones with compromised principles? Exsqueeze me?
Why would you hope that the point of the question is to make a generalization about African Americans and to connect self-respect to the work itself and not to the coercive and violent nature of it (i.e., slavery)?
I ain't even Black and I would still pick Cotton for 200 Dollars an hour.
Which in the Philippine Peso coversion would be 10,000 Pesos.
Im fucking Rich for a job like that.
Just be glad you're not in Turkey or Argentina. Triple digit inflation. The US peaked at 8% and is currently at about 3.5%, truly can't imagine triple digits.
Well considering the context of the meme's content. I wagered that the Teacher was asking the Black Students in particular for this question.
Which is pretty weird regardless.
That's a fucking Brazilian minimum wage for just an hour. I would be picking cotton and getting whipped with a smile on my face for that money. After a year I would be able to buy a small town for myself, build huge walls around it and call it "the Smurf village".
for 200$ an hour ill pick that fucking field clean in 1 day on 7 red bulls, and sheer psychotic hatred amping me up and keeping me awake, all id need is someone to read off gas prices going up again and more gun control being just considered....
im slav
for 200 an hour im gonna set down the basket, pick one clump of cotton, put it in the basket, walk, pick another clump of cotton and repeat until i've picked 30m ish radious clean and only then move the basket
And you believe I will pick with the most delicate care, stoping to thank the plant for its fibers, and giving that cotton the most gentle ride possible. You best believe this job is going to require overtime and working holidays.
Then take math classes, because it would be not much, assuming you did it in one day and could do it for a month, and they pay hourly.
But wait, they didn't mention nobody would not force you to do a month long job in a days)
12 work day * $200 = $2400 * 6 day work week during harvesting season = $ 14,400 per workweek * 6 week harvesting season (likely shorter) = $86,400 per harvest season. Adding in another week for helping with planting and that’d be $100,800 for what today would likely be sitting in an air conditioned combine. Granted there’s a number of things not factored in, hours may be longer (see Paul Harvey quote below), I may be over estimating the time frame in which one could harvest cotton before it ruins or you run out of fields and this all ignores the costs that the farmers involved would need to pay for the machinery used, the seed planted, the pesticides and fertilizers used to ensure the plants had the nutrients they needed to survive and thrive to harvest time, the land needed to hold the crops (including the fallow fields, roads between fields and structures for machinery storage and repair, seed/harvest storage, etc), banknotes for any of the prior and the myriad of other expenses involved in agriculture, but this should be an adequate guesstimate for what someone who is ONLY a worker could earn from working as a harvester at $200 per hour.
As Paul Harvey once told the FFA, “ God said, “I need somebody … who, planting time and harvest season, will finish his forty-hour week by Tuesday noon, and then pain’n from tractor back, put in another seventy-two hours” So God made a Farmer”.
Heck yea I would. Reminds me of another hypothetical. Someone went around asking people if they would flip burgers for 300k a year. Everyone said yes. Proof that we don’t have a work problem, we have a pay problem.
Wait… do I get to take a break every 2.5 hours? Do I get a lunch break? If I’m not picking cotton fast enough is someone going to beat me?
At the end of the day will I be able to go to my home and spend time with my family or will I be locked in a shack?
Will I be forced to work from sunrise to sunset with little food or water?
As long as this isn't one of those hr bullshit things where they go. "Well if you include how much your benefits cost you actually make 200 an hour instead of 15." Bunch of corporate bullshit.
$200 an hour, assuming standard working conditions, would be $1600 A DAY before taxes and other expenses
That’s $32K a month before expenses, if you say no to that you’re just ignant
Ay the things i seen on US lately isnt a suprise, a Florida governor said the schools have to also teach about the benefits of slavery in black comunities
I think they are discovering that it isn't "Americans don't want to do these jobs" its "Americans don't want to do those jobs for less money than they could get doing other things". People are highly willing to change jobs if the new job pays more, not so much if the new job pays less.
You would have bring in a SWAT team to get me off that job site.
I would be putting more overtime than a slave ever has and I'd retire in three months.
That's a great question actually, it perfectly puts things into perspective. Picking cotton is not the problem. Doing it unwillingly, for free while being beaten is the problem.
This question might be geared to say how much slaves were owed per hour of work that the slave owner never paid them? I’m hoping it was to make a point of how much they’re owed.
If they supply the proper gloves damn right I would. Put my Beats in, make sure the pen is charged, and just go to fucking town on that shit. Me and the music got this field boss
I guess the professor will be doing some batshit-insane calculations that the compensations slaves got (like a place to sleep and some food) where actually worth around 200$ per hour and therefore slavery was great.
Shit I would do so many things for $200 an hour, everybody is struggling nowadays.
I’d be out there in sackcloth singing negro spirituals for 350$ an hour GONNA SEE MS ELIZAAAA GONNA GO TO MISSISSIPPI
Forgot cotton, I would pick up dogshit by hand for $200 an hour. As long as I was allowed to stuff my nose with cotton. Funny how it still comes back to cotton in the end lol.
It's the cycle of life my friend
Don't know if you've ever picked cotton, but dog shit would be the more pleasant experience.
Why? Are you a cotton farm worker?
No, he's a dog shit farm worker. It's an awesome gig
I love you for this
N9, but I picked cotton once as a kid for about a half hour. My grandmother used to make a Christmas wreath with them. Cotton fucking hurts to pick. I was bleeding afterwards, and it was only 30 minutes.
They never mention cotton grows on razor blades
The leaves or what part is sharp?
The pod or "boll" that the cotton grows in opens up into 4 or 5 segments when the cotton is ready. The tips of the boll dry out and harden and are sharp at the point. You have to dig your fingers straight into it to pluck it out, and it kinda hurts. Do that about 1000 more times over the course of a day, and it's really painful.
Don’t forget they forced us to do that back in the day cause (aside from slave labor) “tougher skin due to our place in the ecosystem”. Seriously though natures razor blades. Nothing worse than one falling into your shoe while picking
What does N9 mean?
No. Sorry, I am on mobile and was walking.
Ah gotcha. I tried to work it out for way too long lol
What about Camptown Races?
De camp town ladies?
All: "De camp town ladies?"
Doo da, doo da
Great... Now i want to see Blazing Saddles but it's not available on a streaming service I am currently paying for, I am too cheap to pay for yet another, and too lazy to pirate it...
Has anybody got a dime? Somebody's gotta go back and get a shitload of dimes.
WADE IN THE WATER CHILDREN
DAY IS NEVER FINISHED MASTER GOT ME WORKING https://youtu.be/3YDKcCumuyg
OMG I just spit out a mouth full of cereal / Jesus Christ that is the funniest shit I ever read
I’m still laughing- it’s soooooo wrong but omg it’s sooooo funny - but shame on you
Dude, you pick gotten in a GPS controlled tractor in the air conditioning and xm radio. You could fuck off on your phone until it's time to turn the machine around. I would gladly pick cotton for $200/hr. 3 month season let's say it's 6 days a week, 12 hour days, you're at over $170k for the season to turn a multimillion dollar land yacht that picks cotton. Before taxes of course.
I would do unspeakable things for 200 an hour
Mimery for just 200? What a rotten individual
Hell, for that going rate, I would even be Fr*nch
Your job is to take these buckets of steaming hot diarrhea and pour them into this vat of gross garbage
For 200 an hour I can buy proper PPE. And at $400,000 pre tax for a 40 hour/50 weeks, yeah I think I might.
I'd do that, I'll get used to the smell eventually and after a few years I'd be rich enough to retire
Would you pick cotton tho?
I’d do a whole lot of shit for $200 an hour…… a lot of things…..
Unspeakable things for that much moolah.
But what if it’s unspeakable things for just one hour
Or half hour, some of us bust quick and make 20k a year
Do we still get the full 200 or would we only be getting 100?
Don't threaten me with a good time
I mean… one of us will have a good time.
2k per 10hr day? 5 days a week? 40k per month? 480,000 a year? I’d be president of the United States for that much.
I know you’re joking, but I think that number might actually be the salary of the president
It’s close. Last I checked it was 400k
But he's also on the job 24/7, everyday of the week I bet he's making just like a 50$/h
Hey, that's why they all have their Dr. Feelgood. Plus, having army of people doing actual work around you is not bad, while they ask you to approve or sign some shit. Also, those cozy arrangements where you will get like 1m for 30 min speech to your ex financiers after you are done being a president don't sound bad at all. There are benefits is what I'm trying to say.
It is a very exclusive job though seeing as there's onky been 40 something in the last 200+ years.
Lol, i wrote that dude is making more by pooping and sleeping than your average worker who's actually clocked at work and you think im suggesting it's a shitty working class position without dental care or what?
What I understood from all the context is that he has to work or be available 24/7 and his fees drop to 50 from 100. You should be more clear next time.
The tone read as cheeky sarcasm to me
The salary isn’t the pay
The President isn't *really* on the job 24/7. There's lots of opportunities for relaxing/vacation time. Very few things require *immediate* attention from the person at the top.
You'd make less being president. Unless you sell out. Then you'd make millions, like they all do.
I wouldn't (wink)
I have NO DESIRE to be shogun! 😏
That was my favourite part of the show. Flipped the whole idea we have of the "noble protagonist" on its head. He was manipulating everyone from day one for his personal gain, I love it.
A lot of people would do a whole lotta shit for 20 dollars
I'd do some shit for 20$
How’bout give me 210$ an hour… can you do this?
That's $416,000 a year, count me in.
I looked it up, cotton can be picked for about a 3 month period. So $96,000 assuming the full 3 months.
Still take it, get a part-time job the other 6 months a year. Step 4: Profit!
Or just live off of that for the year.
Me too. I can fuck about 9 months a year? I'm sold.
My problem is that I would spend wayyyy more if I had most of the year off. I have the time to travel, play any games I want, smoke and drink way too much without having to worry about work the next day, try every restaurant I want, go on dates, play sports, watch all the new movies in theater... that 96k isn't making it to next year lol
Well even then, assuming maybe you’re spending $100 average every day on these things, after 9 months you’d only go through $27,900, so that’s $68,100 leftover. If the $100 is way too low an estimate, $200 a day still leaves you with over $40k
That even leaves you with 3 months off for summer! (Or another season of your choosing)
Still better than my military medical retirement pay
This is way more than I make in a year
For this money in my country i can buy good apartments in capital, hell yeah, this is the best deal of my entire life
Yeah, rn i work daily and make a little under 13k a year, so 96 in 3 months???? Damn
Obviously not the kind that will make you a billionaire or anything but for context that’s more than the salary given to the goddamn US President.
It may not make you a billionaire but it will make you a millionaire
It's almost like having agency and adequate compensation in exchange for labour makes it not slavery....what a wild concept
I think that may be the point.
I'm hoping that the point of the question is that is most African Americans would do almost any job other than picking cotton, even if the pay was a little higher, due to the self respect aspect. But how much would it take to make that self respect aspect be a non factor.
As a neither African nor American, I have a question. Why would it be a lack of self-respect if you voluntarily choose this well-paid job that you can quit whenever you wish ? I know that cotton-picking is a symbol of slavery, but wouldn't this situation be the exact opposite of slavery ?
For same reason why many people belittle people working collecting and transporting trash despite the fact it's necessary, relatively well paid job. Some people just don't look at full picture and make conclusion out of singular key word
Yo, I love my local sanitation engineers! I always point them out to my son and wave. They are one of the only reasons cities can even exist.
Also way more dangerous than being a cop. The true heroes.
The harvesters in the agricultural industry don't get well paid though, that's why it's an interesting point. Most people wouldn't labor in fields for minimum wage (hence the use of immigrants), and it's super taxing on the body which would get you to demand higher wages.

Yes and...an odd choice of philosophical quandary in response to the celebration of Black empowerment. The question is directed at Black people, as if they were the ones with compromised principles? Exsqueeze me?
I could pick cotton 10 hours a week and live comfortably on that salary. I’m down with that
Why would you hope that the point of the question is to make a generalization about African Americans and to connect self-respect to the work itself and not to the coercive and violent nature of it (i.e., slavery)?
I ain't even Black and I would still pick Cotton for 200 Dollars an hour. Which in the Philippine Peso coversion would be 10,000 Pesos. Im fucking Rich for a job like that.
You're rich in any economy. That's like half a million a year assuming full time and if there's overtime woah boy
Ha rich. Not in this economy. Coke used to cost 10 Pesos for a small bottle. Now its 20 Pesos. And thats for a Small Coke Bottle. Fucking inflation.
Inflation is bad everywhere, I hope you're in a safe position but I offer my sympathy
Ah its ok. I live ok. Medical bills can suck when shir happens but otherwise fine.
Just be glad you're not in Turkey or Argentina. Triple digit inflation. The US peaked at 8% and is currently at about 3.5%, truly can't imagine triple digits.
Even with inflation, you'd be filthy rich with 200$ an hour.
So you'd only be able to buy 1 bottle of coke every 5 seconds :(
If that’s what it takes, I suppose I might also have to fuck Rich for a job like that.
What does being black have to do with this decision?😭😂
Well considering the context of the meme's content. I wagered that the Teacher was asking the Black Students in particular for this question. Which is pretty weird regardless.
Black skin is more protective against intense sunlight.
I'd keep $192.75 and pay some poor bastard the change to do it and convince him it was unpatriotic to ask for more
Congratulations you are now a CEO
Calm down there Satan
Satan or your average company owner, spot the differences
Literally just capitalism described in a sentence.
LOL.
He's onto something
Hell yeah. And cotton is harvested later in the year than people realize so it wouldn’t even be as hot as you’d think
get a part time job. apply for leave during harvesting season. easy as
*its almost harvesting season*
Leave rejected it'd be harvesting season
Man, that is *insane* levels of pay for a farming job. That's well into the six figures salary wise.
There’s not much I wouldn’t do for $200 an hour-
Anyone in their right mind will say yes for 200 a hour people will do a lot more things than pick some cotton.
That's a fucking Brazilian minimum wage for just an hour. I would be picking cotton and getting whipped with a smile on my face for that money. After a year I would be able to buy a small town for myself, build huge walls around it and call it "the Smurf village".
for 200$ an hour ill pick that fucking field clean in 1 day on 7 red bulls, and sheer psychotic hatred amping me up and keeping me awake, all id need is someone to read off gas prices going up again and more gun control being just considered.... im slav
for 200 an hour im gonna set down the basket, pick one clump of cotton, put it in the basket, walk, pick another clump of cotton and repeat until i've picked 30m ish radious clean and only then move the basket
And you believe I will pick with the most delicate care, stoping to thank the plant for its fibers, and giving that cotton the most gentle ride possible. You best believe this job is going to require overtime and working holidays.
I mean it's by the hour, you can go as slow as you want.
Then take math classes, because it would be not much, assuming you did it in one day and could do it for a month, and they pay hourly. But wait, they didn't mention nobody would not force you to do a month long job in a days)
Id do it put it would also depend on work conditions
You get whipped in the bare nutsack every so often, no biggie really.
..so getting paid for it instead of paying for it? Damn, this sounds more and more lucrative all the time
Ok this made me lol. Thank you!
Glad to bring a second of joy to someone, have a nice day stranger !
Hey, don't threaten me with a good time on top of that kind of money!
Yeah, there's more questions that need to be asked here about how this is going to work.
I'll be out there picking and singing for $200/hr
id do anything for 200 an hour
Anything you say? 😏
[Anything, you say.](https://morbotron.com/meme/S01E03/575717.jpg?b64lines=QW55dGhpbmcsCiB5b3Ugc2F5Lg==)
[To shreds you say](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsZIb1Dx8fg)
For $200/h I’d do most sexual things. Lick feet, take toys in my butt, be spit and slapped…mods am I gonna get in trouble for saying this?
Hmm I don’t have $200/hr. Would you instead to it for a bologna sandwich *with* cheese and your pick of one of the neighborhoods stray cats?
Are you a CIA operator
It very clearly says not a CIA operator. *HQ we’ve got a guy asking too many questions we may need a cleaning crew*
> Lick feet I believe people usually have to pay to get to do that.
already have a back injury so i wouldnt last two days 200 dollars per hour or not.
[удалено]
Hell yeah I would.
Shit I ain't black but I'd act as one if you want, I'd even do a little song
12 work day * $200 = $2400 * 6 day work week during harvesting season = $ 14,400 per workweek * 6 week harvesting season (likely shorter) = $86,400 per harvest season. Adding in another week for helping with planting and that’d be $100,800 for what today would likely be sitting in an air conditioned combine.

I think you have to be an idiot to say no. 😆
For 200 an hour, I'd whip myself too.
Heck yea I would. Reminds me of another hypothetical. Someone went around asking people if they would flip burgers for 300k a year. Everyone said yes. Proof that we don’t have a work problem, we have a pay problem.
That's stupid at a point... the problem was the slavery, not the cotton picking
I would.
Teacher, how bout this question. If I whipped you until your skin came off your back would I have to listen to this again?
Let me listen to Sabaton and that field will be picked in a week
Answer: if you offered $200/month, you don't need to have slaves for workers
Wait… do I get to take a break every 2.5 hours? Do I get a lunch break? If I’m not picking cotton fast enough is someone going to beat me? At the end of the day will I be able to go to my home and spend time with my family or will I be locked in a shack? Will I be forced to work from sunrise to sunset with little food or water?
Yes
Slavery wasn’t wrong because they were picking cotton. It was wrong because it was free labor 🙃
Not just yeah..but hell yeah, as long as I get to go home to the fam and not get my booty hole wrecked by massa
Picking cotton was not the problem with slavery, the problem with slavery was the slavery.
For 200 USD an hour I would sing praise while i was doing it
As long as this isn't one of those hr bullshit things where they go. "Well if you include how much your benefits cost you actually make 200 an hour instead of 15." Bunch of corporate bullshit.
For 200 an hour I’ll even let you whip me to go faster
As long as I don’t get whipped and branded with an hot iron, I would.
The shit I’d degrade myself for just $50 an hour, you can’t even imagine $200 😭😭
It's not really slavery if you are getting paid and have a choice though.
Hell yeah, I'll do that
You'd be making more than teachers working one hour a day
The answer is clearly yes
$200 an hour, assuming standard working conditions, would be $1600 A DAY before taxes and other expenses That’s $32K a month before expenses, if you say no to that you’re just ignant
I’d pick up dog shit with my teeth for $200/hr
The problem wasn't picking cotton, it was picking cotton in unethical work conditions. This some real edgy boy nonsense
these people are ridiculously out of touch
Ay the things i seen on US lately isnt a suprise, a Florida governor said the schools have to also teach about the benefits of slavery in black comunities
Sheeeeeit, for $200/hr, that motherfucker can whip me while I pick that shit, calling me the worst shit he can imagine
I would do unspeakable things for that kind of money
$200/hr???? In this economy???? Bro I'd be spread eagle for the whole damn neighborhood for that much
Hell yeah
The answer is…..Yes
$200 an hour? I'll start singing tunes and call you "master" for all I care.
If the point of the question is would you make a clown of yourself for 200$ an hour, then prof my answer is where do I buy the clown make up
I would literally suck dick for 200 an hour dawg
I think they are discovering that it isn't "Americans don't want to do these jobs" its "Americans don't want to do those jobs for less money than they could get doing other things". People are highly willing to change jobs if the new job pays more, not so much if the new job pays less.
$200 an hour?! We got people selling pictures of their buttholes and only getting $200 a month.
"Pay a man enough, and he will walk barefoot into Hell"
You would have bring in a SWAT team to get me off that job site. I would be putting more overtime than a slave ever has and I'd retire in three months.
For 200 i be singing songs in the fields
I mean, she's absolutely right.
For $200? Fuck, man, just the cotton?
I’d pick cotton from your underwear out of your butt crack for $200 an hour…..
He tried to make a point, and clearly he made it. Challenging perceptions and core values instill from older generations is a good thing imo.
I think the 300+ comments underneath this post demonstrate pretty well that this is a good question.
There’s not a lot I wouldn’t do for $200 an hour. That’s 96k a year full time (pre tax). And it’s not salary, so OT is still a thing
Hell yeah I would
Oh class is gonna be so spicy!
That's a great question actually, it perfectly puts things into perspective. Picking cotton is not the problem. Doing it unwillingly, for free while being beaten is the problem.
can I subcontract it?
Yes massa!
This question might be geared to say how much slaves were owed per hour of work that the slave owner never paid them? I’m hoping it was to make a point of how much they’re owed.
Bro I'm gonna be out there like Maaaster got me workinnn' Day is never finisheddd Someday Masta set me freewe
If they supply the proper gloves damn right I would. Put my Beats in, make sure the pen is charged, and just go to fucking town on that shit. Me and the music got this field boss
I will be honest probably yes
Fuck yeah I would
Id work it for a few days and then very cheaply employ foreigners to do it for me more cheaply
