Melissa Harris-Perry Has Picture Of Slaves On Her Office Wall

PakPuk said:
She is the one who said she had it on her office wall not me. She only said it so she could henpeck the guest, I highly doubt she would have it on her wall in reality. Probably just another lie.

Really? Her work is in civil rights, so I think you are full of it.

Photographs of Slavery

The small minority of people who do own pictures of slaves would mostly display that picture to look at it for photogenic purposes. You would not display it to preach to people and say "I have a picture of slavery on my office wall" to prove a political point.

Playing devils advocate, I assume what she was trying to say was that calling a privileged white male a hard worker is insulting to stay at home mothers and I guess slaves, too. Shes PC, bro.

That sounds about right.

there is hard work today from the perspective of today's workers and then there is hard work from her perception as it relates to slavery. she is saying they are not the same.

She is saying it is not valid to say somebody works hard today using slavery as a yard stick.

Yeah. She was way out of line ridiculous. That was painful to watch. She could have made a much more coherent point if she had not included that "slaveworkers on the wall" comment and just went straight to working mothers etc.
 
pbrauer said:
Huh? I don't see where that is unusual at all. She clearly says it a reminder of the hard work the slaves worked in the cotton fields.

That is all you got out of that? allrighty then.

No, i think she's trying to say sometimes the people who work very hard have very little to show for it.

How could that be the point when it was Paul Ryan's hard work they were talking about?
 
Mason66 said:
Oh, I see the problem. You don't know what you are talking about, again.

His budget proposals make good fiction.

But he hasn't done much of anything of value for the American people.
