Oprah Winfrey has never once experienced an act of racism directed towards in her life. No one ever denied her service in a place of public accommodation, never told her to sit in the back of a bus, told her she couldn’t live in a particular neighborhood or ever denied her the right to vote. Not once in her life. The fact she is a mega-millionaire is proof of that. No African-American under the age of fifty has EVER experienced an overt act or demonstration of racism at all. They only wish that they had, going so far as to make up claims that they did(Tawana Brawley, Oprah and this latest nonsense) because they want so badly to be seen as ‘’victims of racism’’ so they can be some kind of hero or martyr. Next to Her Hugeness here one of the worst offenders of the phony racist victim class is the dreadful Melissa Harris-Perry. A woman with a white mother and who quite frankly appears to be whiter then I am and folks I’m talking Caspar The Ghost here. This illogical and desperate woman salivates at even the slightest pretense of ‘’racism’’ so as to pull her victim routine in front of her pathetic viewership on MSNBC.
It pains me to disagree with you, but as someone who has worked with black & Latin Americans in the arts, there is still huge prejudice, condescension and unpleasantness toward non-whites - much of it totally unconscious.
