Then surely it must be white folks working in the cotton fields too.


Because pretty much all the poor people worked in agriculture and cotton was king.

And because it was MSNBC the other guests probably agreed with her.

Only offensive to the blacks that work hard and see people ducking off the government tit being lazy and useless.

JUST WTF is the country coming to? I worked hard all my life to hear shite like that?

Young people do want there cake and eat it too! Y'all suck at life!

the phrase “hard worker,” implying that it is somehow offensive to African Americans.


Why would this be any different, stereotypical blacks steal from Mexicans all the time. Now they're taking the title of hardest worker.

My Grandfather dropped out of school in the 4th grade to go pick cotton in the fields around Colfax, LA. Her assumption that only blacks picked cotton and can be considered hard workers is racist!

I can not believe that woman has a job. Is that sexist to say?

Just because you have a mouth doesn't mean you should speak.

Sometimes when I have to work really hard I think to myself:

"Man, I could really use a salve right now."

She takes exception to someone defining an individual as "hard working" by generalizing two separate groups of people (blacks and single moms) saying they are hard workers and its offensive to them to call anyone else a hard worker

She then further generalizes that all Republicans call single mother and blacks lazy and taking advantage of the system.

It'd be hysterical that the far left doesn't see the hypocrisy of identity politics if it wasn't ruining the country

I suppose Alfonso could have said "someone who exerts their self to a high degree, using both physical, mental and emotional energy, to the pursuit of some financial, professional or vocational aim," but I'm sure MHP would think the word "exert" is racist.
