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.

The point made is that "Hard work" implies manual labor to the left and progressives see themselves as superior beings that don't need to do that kind of thing. Saying someone is hard worker is a compliment among those who earn an honest wage. TV presenters don't want that type of compliment since it reminds them too much of honest labor. It's uncomfortable to be reminded how lazy and shiftless you are when you enjoy watching others work to support you and your kind.

the left wants to get paid very well to do nothing but to be the ruling class. Don't mention hard work - it will burst their bubble.
