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.
