Swiss Clerk Calls Oprah Winfrey a Liar over Alleged Racist Comments
breitbart.com ^ | Aug 12 2013 | Breitbart News

Posted on 08/12/2013 4:14:13 PM PDT by NoLibZone

That's a lie, the anonymous sales clerk says according to the UK Daily Mail, adding she's felt "powerless" as a result of the media barrage following the incident.

I explained to her the bags came in different sizes and materials, like I always do.

'She looked at a frame behind me. Far above there was the 35,000 Swiss franc crocodile leather bag.

'I simply told her that it was like the one I held in my hand, only much more expensive, and that I could show her similar bags.

'It is absolutely not true that I declined to show her the bag on racist grounds. I even asked her if she wanted to look at the bag.

That’s what the congregants learn attending United Trinity Church and listening to sermons from Jeremiah Wright and his brand of black liberation theology. Oprah is just one of the many devoted disciples.

Sounds like they don't take the expensive ones out of the case until a sale has been made.

Normal loss prevention procedures.

Except her fan base, who made her rich, was white women.

The sales lady just doesn’t get it, the fact that Orifice Winfrey is black and the sales lady is white, makes the sales lady racist...that’s just the way it is.

Next we will find that Winfrey gets the clerk fired (or maybe we won’t find out).

“Powerless” is an interesting choice of words, and I agree-being the object of a media frenzy must be akin to an attack by a flock of angry birds, with both ends of the bird being busy at once;) Why can’t they swarm like that when a Progressive tells a LIE? I guess they’d wear themselves out from exhaustion;)

Liberals think they are loved and superior in the world. This is false. I can tell you that for sure, black Americans right now are the laughing stock of the world thanks to Oprah and Obama.

This is zactly the same as Beiber wearing the gas-mask and peeing in that bucket the other day:

His traditional demographic has been LITTLE KIDS and as he ages he must transition to an older demo that “understands” the “troubled young man who is growing up” B.S.

The boy is an INVESTMENT PROPERTY, just like Oprah —his troubles are carefully orchestrated business decisions.

Oprah here is prepping a public conceptual template for the roll-out of her movie in two weeks.

THIS IS ALL BUSINESS.

So the clerk got punished for trying to help her BET style get a better deal. Wow... Talk about hate. Oprah is definitely a piece of human stool, or her brains at the very least.

Good. About time people quit believing every slight, injury, or perceived snub is racism.

Sick of it.

Let me guess.

The “Butler” is behind every civil rights advancement over five Presidencies.

Sort of like Forrest Gump serves dinner.

I've no doubt Oprah is turning a misunderstanding into a racial slight, purely for publicity & to strike fear in those “beneath” her.

Good for the Swiss clerk for standing up for herself.

Oh, & good luck finding a new job. For now that Oprah has been called a liar, I expect the Four Horsemen to descend on this poor woman from a self-important bully.

I think Oprah wanted to launder money gangster style and she felt embarassed by the whole ordeal and is now trying to go around the situation. These super expensive bags are solely used to pass money around.

Someone who is looking for Racism will always find it because someone looking for racism necessarily defines it as whatever happens.

The Swiss aren’t afraid of “Her Blackness”.
She is just another customer to them.

Oprah upset because the clerk did not kiss her ring and genuflect.

And conversely, one should not expect to walk into a store that sells $38K handbags and not expect the salesperson to try and sell one to you.

I mean, seriously, was Oprah flashing a SNAP card or something?

Doesn’t surprise me one bit. Looks like Oprah was using this trumped up incident to promote her upcoming movie by playing the old "racist" card.

No matter how much money she has, she’s still a shallow, cheap opportunist playing on people’s emotions and perpetuating racial divisions. I hope her new movie fails.
