Oh! Joy of joys, comrades! I have been dreaming of this day since I was kicked out of school and told by my parents to get a job! I knew then that I had every reason to be offended!

Melissa Harris-Perry has now confirmed it for me and embarrassed a capitalist in the process. You can tell he was embarrassed because he was shaking his head.



...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 about what hard work looks like.


I actually "feel" Melissa, on this. I actually love hard work. I could sit and watch it all day. At least, I used to be able to. Now it's so offensive to me that I can't even sit to see the sight of it, except maybe on some History Channel documentary about the foolishness and destructive nature of capitalism and how it kills everyone who was ever born into it. (That's why I don't eat carrots, by the way. 100% of people who eat carrots die. But I digress.)

Now you may say that Melissa did not say that hard work is offensive but you'd be wrong. If the term "hard worker" is offensive, how can that which leads one to use the term not be considered offensive also?

The unions have been pushing this idea for over a century, now, and I think it's way overdue that we embrace this philosophy. Slavery and cotton fields have been abolished for more than 150 years.

We now have the Collective and beet fields!

...the moms who don't have health care who are working......we don't call them hard workers. We call them failures.

I'm a little confused about this statement - I thought this was one of the success stories of Obamacare - but Melissa was on a roll so there's really no need to interrupt or question anything here.

Anyway, I'm over-joyed that I can now, without any feigned guilt, be entirely offended at the prospect of being expected to work hard (or at all) and can satisfy all societal requirements by simply having posters of hard working people adorning the walls of my domicile, simply to remind myself of what hard work looks like - and to be offended by it, of course.

Possibly a typo there, Kapitan - should that have been "troll"?

I used to have a confederate flag for the same reason...

Melitha keeps an "...image of folks working in cotton fields,.." because she's a race-baiting, trouble-making pain in the ass and wants to remind us at every opportunity.

Now, I want us to be super careful about using the term troll because, you know, I have a picture in my office to remind me exactly what a troll looks like.

A Facebook comment that's too funny to not share:

C***** J**** H****: In the context of privilege. But heck, what's to say, 'I enjoy hardwork, I could sit and watch it all day.' I mean sure, like plantation owners back in the day right, same as you glamourise, for spite the women picking cotton in the fields. Like, seriously, her point is spot on, you degrade hardworking single mothers all the time. And honestly, lets me real, the only reason you defend hard work is because you actually believe the myth that the scottish enlightenment used to employ the division of labour, that some day you'll make as much money as your employers and find ease and prestige, but in the long run, you really live a miserable life making someone who already has too much money more money and for this destruction of your personal life you say thank you to them for catering you the chance to survive. Like, you're better Marxists than your employers- you've still got the mindset that it's better to be a slave, and you work hard for honours that do nothing but confirm it.

Thank you, Obamacare!

Well, it's about damn time! I've been sitting on my a** for 7 years just waiting for this pronouncement. Finally, somebody understands me! I do have hemorrhoid issues and some bed sores but, hey, they're all worth it so I can get free stuff. I intend to spend the rest of my rotting from the core. Yeah! That's the ticket.

Love the dung beetle! Love it! Love it! Love It!

I think I can now sue my boss for racial, and special (that is: species related) discrimination. He told me, before he hired me, that he wants a hard worker. He's being racist and treating me like a slave, except for the fact that he's paying me. But that doesn't excuse his racism. And even though I'm red and was never a slave, his reference to hard work makes me FEEL like I'm a black slave. And that is what is important.
