John Deere and the Value of Black Lives

Alright, listen up, you big dummy. This meme is trying to be 'edgy' by linking modern farming tech, specifically a John Deere cotton picker, to the historical exploitation of Black people in cotton fields. It's saying that since machines do the work now, the 'value' (in terms of exploitable labor) of Black lives, which was tied to that manual work, is gone. It's a twisted, offensive way to twist the 'Black Lives Matter' slogan, implying their 'mattering' was only ever about their labor. You probably didn't get it, did you?
