Actress Rae Dawn Chong unleashed an angry, quasi-positive rant against Oprah Winfrey during a radio interview this week, one that attacked Winfrey's weight and used language The New York Post chose not to publish. Chong worked with Winfrey on The Color Purple, and she returned to those days during the interview with Matty P's Radio Happy Hour.
The two worked well together for a spell, the actress said, but once Chong landed a role in the action film Commando things change.
Thats when she was a total biotch, she emphasized. "I starred in Commando. And she just wasnt having me. Shes competitive. She didnt like me. She just wasnt having me...."
She was that fat chick that was a cheerleader or the wannabe cheerleader in school that was the student council president that was the best friends with the principal she was the fat chick in school that did everything and everyone loved her. Thats Oprah.
In a low point of the interview, Chong used crudely invoked racist imagery.
If you look at the way [Oprah] looks, she looks like 60 years ago she would have been a house keeper luckily.
Only Chong used a more racially charged phrase to say housekeeper. Chong also praised Winfrey's business acumen and ability to change the way the culture looks at women of size.

Get rid of your Al Jolson recordings, people!/s;)
Was it “Quest for Fire”?
Raaaaaow!
Is she still around?
That sounds about right......
Who?
Is that Jay Leno in drag with O-pra? ;-)
She is also only 1/4 black. Her mother is half Cherokee.
Hey, it’s better than “big boned”. Any time someone tells me a person is “big boned”, I say “Funny, I’ve never seen a fat skeleton”.
What the hell is that THING???
OTOH, who really cares about either of them?
Thanks drewh.

My response to "big-boned" is:
That's lucky for him/her -- Normal bones would snap trying to carry all that weight.
Quest for Fire i think only one word of dialog
“Quest for Fire i think only one word of dialog”
Also notable for inspring a particularly bad Iron Maiden song.
I stand corrected. I knew that once but somehow forgot
So what is this racially charged way to say housekeeper?
M-—?
M——?
A-— J-——?
If we put an “a” on the end is it not racial any more?
Good one!
OK, I admit I don’t keep up on ethnic insults. But what’s a racially tinged term for housekeeper?
What ever happened to C. Thomas Howell? I just read a brief bio and he married Rae Dawn Chong for a few years.
