‘And I just want to point out that when you talk about work-life balance and being a hard worker, the moms who don’t have health care, who are working, we don’t call them hard workers.

The "insult" is to all those Hard Worker Moms that manage a work-life balance on a single income and do the Hard Work of raising their children. Perry doesn't respect them, she acts like she thinks they can only be a "hard worker" if they are picking cotton in slavery.

The Leftists are sick, sick people.

MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry claims the term 'hard worker' is an insult to slaves | Daily Mail Online
Did Melissa Harris-Perry mention slavery? Did working in cotton fields end with slavery?

Another case of the left trying to control speech. She is the PC police.
Every employer wants to hire hard workers.

This is the same very disturbed Melissa Harris-Perry who made that disgusting spectacle of herself as she joined in as her own guest on her show, mocked Romney's infant grandson with “one of these things is not like the others, one of these things just isn’t the same”

Melissa Harris-Perry Panel Mocks Black Romney Grandchild As Token

Even when a person adopts a child of another race, and is clearly not a racist, it does not matter to mentally disturbed people like Melissa. They are mean, and nasty to the bitter end, while simultaneously holding themselves up as the good people, and looking down their noses at everyone else for being the racists.
Did she mention race once in her statement? No she did not.

Liberal democrats are some of the most intolerant, mean, nasty people on the planet, but to convince themselves otherwise, they work up this mental facade that turns Republicans and conservatives as the most evil and vile cloven hoofed demons on the face of the earth.

This way, no matter how mean they are, or how inept their liberal politicians might be, those evil repubs are even worse.

World schwerld. The only slavery that matters is black slavery that took place from 1609 all the way to 1865. The other stuff was....I don't know...not the right kind of slavery.

Why is slavery even connected to Harris-Perry's point? She didn't mention slavery.

I love all this screaming about political correctness while simultaneously policing what Ms. Harris-Perry has the right to say or not say...

Hmmmmm..
