Did Melissa Harris-Perry mention slavery? Did working in cotton fields end with slavery?
Did you read the article I linked in the OP? If you did, you wouldn't need to ask this question. That is, of course, if your purpose for asking was to learn about what was said.
She has issues. All the crew on MSNBC have issues. They are so overly dramatic, always waving their arms, laughing at wrong times, and just straight odd balls.
Why is slavery even connected to Harris-Perry's point? She didn't mention slavery.
She is mentally disturbed, her guests need to couch their words because Melissa has mental issues.
"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," Melissa Harris-Perry said.

Not only did I read the article, but I watched the linked video. It doesn't surprise me at all the Daily Mail would take liberties with what she said; particularly in their headline.
What she said from the article.
"because I actually keep an image of folks working in cotton fields"
What the Daily Mail claimed in there bullet points under the headline.
Isn't that the point of this entire thread- controlling speech?
I'm guess the irony is lost on most.
Perry stops her guest for not being politically correct with her words, and cautions her to not use the innocuous phrase of "hard working," and you think drawing attention to this is proof of an irony from the right?

"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," Melissa Harris-Perry said.
So where in the quote is the mention of slavery. Did working in cotton fields only occur when slavery was legal in the United States?

Good grief, so now pretending to be as dense as a lump of coal is your defense? Good luck with that.
