While promoting her new film, "Lee Daniels' The Butler," Winfrey relayed an anecdote about being a victim of racism to Entertainment Tonight. "I say to the woman, 'Excuse me, may I see that bag right above your head?' And she says to me, 'No, it's too expensive.' … She refused to get it."
Those are Oprah's exact words -- all told within the context of racism still being a very real problem for black people throughout the world.
During the interview, though, Oprah also refused -- and this will be important later -- to identify the store.

And what is Oprah's reaction to being called a liar by a racist? Well, it certainly isn't the reaction of someone who was the victim of racism and then called a liar by the racist.
No, when confronted with the shop girl's charge, Oprah issued a non-apology apology saying she was "sorry" the incident "got blown up."
Well, who blew it up? While promoting the movie, Oprah also shared the anecdote with Larry King. Obviously, this anecdote is part of Oprah's "Butler" promotional tour.
If we had a media worth a damn, it is right about now that they would be all over this.
1. As I said yesterday, isn't it just a little "too neat" that while promoting a film with a heavy racial theme that Oprah pulls a "this racism just happened to me" anecdote out of a $38,000 purse?
2. Why didn't Oprah want to announce to the world the name of a store that practices racism? Would that make the story too easy to check?
3. I repeat: Why isn't Oprah outraged that a practicing racist just called her a liar in front of the whole world?

Poor Opie. She’s such an abused and downtrodden victim.
No hoax. She’s a racist and keeps looking for ways to claim racism everywhere she looks. Next thing she’ll be calling white commodes racist.
Because she IS a liar.
” No, when confronted with the shop girl’s charge, Oprah issued a non-apology apology saying she was “sorry” the incident “got blown up.”
Well, who blew it up?”
Yeah : )
Do you know why Michele Obama invited her to the White House? So SOMEone would have a bigger butt than hers. :o)
She’s just about undone all the good things she’s done.
lol
I have to wonder if there is video/audio that backs up the salesperson.
The story never passed the smell test to me. A clerk in a store with prices that high turns down a possible sale? No way. And in Switzerland? Everybody speaks four languages and has hospitality down to a science.
I agree.
If Obama had a son, he’d look just like Oprah.
I read in a news-rag that Mooch and Noprah hate each other. Two strong willed, angry black women? I believe it.
Oprah may have bit off more than she can chew this time.
The shopkeeper, who Oprah has never spoken with even though she was at the same wedding in Zurich, is standing by her clerk and wants to talk with Oprah, even offering her a way out by calling it a misunderstanding.
Why is Oprah, the Queen of Chat, afraid to speak with her???
And now PETA is after Oprah, who was named PETA’s Person of the Year in 2008, for trying to buy an alligator purse.
Oprah Hogfrey is all about race. She chose Hussein over Hitlery because of race. She is part of the victim culture in spite of the fact that she has absolutely nothing to bitch about. But she’s representin’. And she, just like her hero Hussein, is a joke.
And speaking of fat...
She so fat, she have to iron her pants....
IN THE DRIVEWAY!
If Obama had a pet walrus...
Accusation: Page one, above the fold.
Apology: Section 4, page 10, inside edge, below the fold, next to the lingerie ad.
Same as it ever was.
Nobody knows the troubles colored billionaires see,
Nobody knows their sorrow.
“If I had Offal Windbreaker’s doe, I get right down and do a ‘do-SE-do’, if I had,... Offal Windbreaker’s ....doe...”
Really old tune; Jerry Lewis and Danny Thomas had different versions.
