Why wouldn’t people avoid interacting with certain minorities since they are like time bombs. Their perceptions are so twisted that anything you say or do can be misinterpreted resulting in an ugly incident, accusations of racism, loss of your job or even violence. If you are white your mere presence in the wrong place can get you killed. A friend of mine has noticed that at his workplace the usual cleaning staff has been replaced by people from india. They work hard, are polite, and no unpleasant attitudes.

Well she did give fee cars to her audience

"fee": being fed gift tax of the full retail value the recipients had to pay.

"cost": ex factory price to manufacturer

"zilch": what Oprah paid.

So Opry likes picking on one of the “little people” of the world. Someone
who probably earns less than Opry’s maid.

Any gift received by the orca had taxes on them, state and federal. Best thing would have been to sell them.

Interesting story. I was window shopping at Wynn Macau and saw a spectacular Bulgari watch and had to enquire about it. I was poorly dressed, as it was a vacation, yet they were glad to show it to me close up. Then I asked about the price. What currency do you prefer? U.S. dollars I said. After doing some calculations, the sales person showed me his calculator: $245,000.

Add on the “giving” company was able to tax write-off the gift values too.

Swiss shopkeeper: “We gladly accept American Express but leave your Race Card at home.”


Black Power

Click the link if you want to know what that's about. The card is made of titanium. It's known as the Black Card (officially as the Centurion Card). Presumably, Oprah meets the credit standard.

BTW, the CEO of American Express (since 2001) is black.

Look people.

IT IS FUN TO BE A VICTIM BECAUSE IN THE USA, YOU GET SYMPATHY. THE USA IS A SYMPATHETIC COUNTRY.

In Ohio, this couple publicized their kid having cancer. They got tons of sympathy and they loved every minute of it until it was revealed that the kid was healthy.

There is a name for it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munchausen_syndrome

Münchausen syndrome is a psychiatric factitious disorder wherein those affected feign disease, illness, or psychological trauma to draw attention, sympathy, or reassurance to themselves.

All this is about is that Oprah probably has little true love in her life and wanted some loving by playing a victim.

Personally, if I happen to trip and fall, I find all kinds of people who normally would not give me the time of day, coming to my aid.

So the next time some black screams racism, show some sympathy even if it is fake, and quietly investigate the claim and watch the story fall apart.

But playing the victim is a very common disease and even more common when screaming racism because you don’t even have to fake an illness.

Could you relay your experience in Macau via PM?

I am interested in learning why you went, what your take away is, so I might get a feel for why I should go and what I might expect.

thnx.

WTF?? The CAR MAKER GAVE the audience the CARS...NOT The Oprah!!!

PLUS, she COULD have helped BLACK GIRLS in Chicago instead of Africa. Does she go to schools and tell them to STUDY and do the right things??? NO.

If America is SO RACIST how does an ordinary woman rise to the level of being a HUGE television draw for MILLIONS of WHITE viewers and makes hundreds of millions of dollars?

If America is SO RACIST how is it we have a so called BLACK president?

The answer is OBVIOUS. The ONLY racism prevalent is the type perpetuated by those who either PROFIT by it, or are so damn brain-dead they can't tell the difference between their a$$ from a hole in the ground.
