      But not tilling fields I really didn't want to wade into this. I suppose I'm out of my lane, but the lanes are being redirected by hostile forces and I'm trying to point that out

      I can kind of see the vague, unfortunate-association aspect as being worth a furrowed brow, but it's hard to really see this all as being proportionate.

      Does moving it from “tilling the fields” (specific task that is called that and done on farms, afaik can’t be rephrased much if at all) to “work in the fields” (generic) allow “farmer or ag worker” to be conceptualized as ever in question, is that the enablement work being done?

      I think the association is just "the fields" but it's also not a particularly strong one. "Cotton fields" would be much more direct.

      Literally every intentionally anti-Black agriculture joke I've ever heard told by white people, and unfortunately bc of my extended family I've heard a few, has referenced that particular crop

      Yeah and specifically referring not to the sowing but to the harvest, which was the worst job because there was no easy way to automate it Which is why they censored the slur based on this out of old Bugs Bunny cartoons

      Yeah, whereas if I’m talking farming and I think “till the fields” I think of a dude driving a tractor, because it’s what my neighbors did and what I helped with as my first (technically illegal child labor) job (raking after the tractor)

      Which in Midwestern corn and potato farming (especially potato) has developed some association with undocumented immigrant labor, although I’m not aware of any associated slurs

      (The child labor thing was basically the hippie farmer who hired me’s way of not feeling bad for exploiting immigrants)

      Anyway, again, I acknowledge I’m out of my lane here, but I just gotta throw out there: wasn’t one of the big broken promises to Black people *after* slavery literally giving them their own farms?

      I mean farming honestly is a shitty life either way and giving them money would've been better, but yes

          And the fact that what actually replaced slavery was sharecropping, where you're doing the exact same work but technically being paid, but paid in the shittiest possible way, is one big reason emancipation was a broken promise
