a question about that second picture.

am i missing something, am i not seeing something? its people standing in a farm doing farm work. why is that powerful or cringe inducing?

do these affect you in any way? (other than the white chick wearing a wool hat. WTF?)

i understand black people were slaves and made to pick cotton, so you see a black person standing in a cotton field and think "that is horrible" but aren't you putting something into the picture that isn't there?

i am not trying to be funny or play devils advocate or anything. i am serious. its just a picture of people standing in a field. this doesn't bother me at all. i take it for what is portrayed. not for what it might mean or symbolize. for all i know, that was a picture of a cotton farmer and his wife standing with him.
