VIDEO=> MSNBC Crank: Be “Super” Careful About Saying “Hard Worker” Because It Demeans Slaves

Via sauced07


Give it a rest.

MSNC host Melissa Harris Perry warned her guests to be careful about saying “hard worker” because it demeans slaves.

 
Yes, she was serious.
“I feel you. But I just want to pause on one thing. Because I don’t disagree with you that I think Mr. Ryan is a great choice for this role. But I want us to be super careful when we use the language “hard worker” because I actually keep an image of folks working in cotton fields on my office wall. Because it is a reminder of what hard work looks like.”

  1. What a dingbat. The sad thing is too many eat this shit-up as reality.

  2. Regretfully I was aware of this moron before seeing this post.
    BUT, if I hadn't been aware of her, the first 3 words, "I feel you," pretty much tells me all I need to know about her.

  3. Parden my French, but 'Bitch Please!' Hard labor is hard labor - working in the cotton fields back then is no harder than it now. There are plenty of manual labor jobs that don't pay enough for the effort.

      Precisely. I guess she thinks machines do everything these days. Being inside a silo as it is being filled and hand cutting corn stalks are nastier than picking cotton.

  4. Most slaves were actually pretty damned lazy. Just like their children.

  5. This is what we end up with when you don't let Natural Selection work it's magic. Mercy.

  7. Tobacco Barn work stacking/storing is worse than picking cotton. Also I know plenty of whites that grew up picking cotton.

  8. Poor baby. Forced to keep around an image of somebody who is doing hard work, in order to sooth her conscience.

    She could do like billions of us around the globe do; acquire her own set of scars, calluses, aches/pains, damaged muscles/ligaments/tendons, broken/healed bones, missing/permanently altered bits and pieces that result from the unintended consequences of doing hard work and let that be her image to herself and others of what hard work is.

    Or not.

    Some people would rather die running from hard work, than live while doing hard work.

    Scaredy-cats.
