Tone deaf, much??
On Wednesday, while Kendra Wilkinson and husband Hank Baskett were on a road trip through Texas, she spots a field and gets an urge to pick cotton from a plant.
During her “adventure,” the Kendra on Top star — who is weirdly giddy about her scheme — also jokes about getting shot while trespassing.

When word of the video spread, social media users DRAGGED the reality TV personality for making light of something that has deep connections to slavery.
Clearly you’re not racist but you have to understand why people would find you picking cotton offensive. Your children are black so the expectation is you would be more sensitive about it

You do know that slaves literally were forced to work themselves to death in cotton fields.

So #KendraWilkinson’s husband Hank, who is black, didn’t tell her this MIGHT not be a good idea on social media? https://t.co/nw2CuTiLjP pic.twitter.com/mVY6ROyg6q

After facing heat, the Playboy covergirl’s rep told TMZ she didn’t mean to offend anyone, and is sorry if people took it the wrong way. The rep also points out that her husband Hank is black.
The 32-year-old also posted on Twitter:
Lol. I just wanted to pick cotton from a plant cuz I’ve always wondered how it really felt. Never in my life thought of color or race at the time.
