Fine I’m a racist and that woman is a lazy ........

[Gaffer]

I guess in the situation where I’m called out for saying “hard worker” implying some kind of denigration towards blacks who have had to pick cotton as a slave, I’d say “I’ll gladly apologize to any one of you who have actually picked cotton as a slave.”

[the_individual2014]

I predict dfwgator will comment since this is related to the cotton business a long time ago.

Saying that MSNBC provides the worst news reporting is racist lingo for these MSNBC news reporters have a lower average IQ than the rest of the MSM and probably failed journo school.

I sure wish she would make up with her white daddy. She tries so hard to be black. Maybe Dr. Phil can get ahold of him and they work it out.

She said she has a picture of black slaves picking cotton on her office wall. If so (and I doubt it), it is really to remind her to stay on the Democrat plantation and not venture off.

[GreyFriar]

Ms Harris said that ‘picking cotton’ is her idea of ‘hard work.’ I guess that means that slaves who worked in the tobacco fields didn’t do any hard work. And I guess that 1) she is has not been a slave, and 2) never picked cotton (I’m guessing), thus she has never done any ‘hard work’ for anything in her life.

Liberalism IS a Mental Disorder ... and MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry is literally insane.

[G Larry]

Her real issue is that “hard worker” may be contrasted with the leeches of society.

[Ditter]

Doesn't she realize that white people picked cotton too? The white people who worked in the fields got the name “redneck” because of it!

Cracker came from the noise the whip made when the white Cowboys herded the cows! White people got lynched too, that was not a punishment reserved for only blacks.

[Arm_Bears]

Call up the companies that buy advertising on [P]MSNBC and ask them if they agree with Melissa Harris-Perry’s assertion.

i work hard. sometimes, it feels like i’m a slave to the man.

then again, i’m a poor trans-racial black child...

[ScottinVA]

Melissa's modern-day "hard workers" heading off to a hard day's work, I'm sure.

[Ohioan]

Anyone who thinks you insult someone who worked hard at an occupation in the past, by describing someone who works hard at an occupation today, as a "hard worker," is at best marginally insane.

Regardless of one's social or employment status at any time in human history, to be considered a "hard worker," has been a term of respect--a term of appreciation for the quality described. How twisted must this unfortunate woman's mind be, to not see the obvious?

[TomGuy]

More liberal pc crap from the professional ‘I am offended’ crowd.

The only way to shut them up is to confront them in their idiocy. When confronted, they tend to back down. They succeed because they think others are afraid to confront them.

After all, Perry used the word ‘racist’ so she assumes that that should give her cover from any criticism.

MSNBC: Calling someone a ‘hard worker’ is racist lingo which diminishes slaves who picked cotton

And to add insult to injury, we celebrate the genius of Eli Whitney.
The ultimate racist!

The only hope that all the exploited blacks have left is Rap, drugs, muggings, car-jacking, arson and the knockout game!

[publius911]

because I actually keep an image of folks working in cotton fields on my office wall, because it is a reminder about what hard work looks like.

and I actually keep images on my office wall of incredibly brutal rape-murders to remind me what the face of New Africa looks like...

...and all descriptions are NOT in cursive...

[jughandle]

She should set an example by giving up all her wealth and becoming a “slave” in the hood.
What a snob, telling colored folks what they should be offended by.

[windsorknot]

The Left is hell-bent to destroy the English language, and to replace it with Newspeak.

[GraceG]

Now just wait one cotton pickin’ minute!!!!!

Ooooopppppssssseeeee....
