I saw the interview live on tv. When I heard it, I did not think she was making a reference to slavery. Didn't even occur to me that it might be a reference to slavery. I was surprised to see the headline, but then I hadn't watched the whole segment, so I thought she must have said something else when I wasn't watching.
So, even now, you would bet a hypothetical million dollars that it wasn't reference to slavery?
I have no idea how I would have responded to a hypothetical situation. I provided my honest impression at the time I heard the segment live.
No. Right now. Pretend that someone is offering you a million dollars right now to choose if she meant the comment to be a reference to slavery or not.
You would honestly say you have no idea and turn down the money?

The problem with your hypothetical is its relies on game theory and other factors. Any number of times I've seen people talk themselves out of the correct answer for various reasons. I've seen myself do it on tests or exams because of how a question was worded.

How it's worded? There are two possible choices, either she meant it as a reference to slavery or she didn't. How is that being tricky or disingenuous?
I'm just asking, whichever you believe in, if you had an opportunity to win a million dollars, which option would you pick?
I'm just curious about the people here claiming that we don't really know what she meant, how strongly you actually believe that.
It's ok to call oneself a hard worker as long as it is understood that slaves were harder workers. Relatively speaking, I'm a soft worker since I work in an office.
