Race Hoax? Oprah 'Apologizes' After Accused Racist Calls Her a Liar
Breitbart.com ^ | 8-13-2013 | John Nolte

Posted on 08/13/2013 3:55:09 PM PDT by servo1969

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?

I have to wonder if there is video/audio that backs up the salesperson.

One would naturally assume an establishment that sells purses costing as much as a new car would be bristling with electronic surveillance to deter shoplifting.

Lily white me has been treated the same way in a consignment shop. "May I see the bag on the shelf there?" "It's three hundred dollars," said the salesclerk in a very flat, don't waste my time tone. I wasn't going to spend $300 on a bag just because it was a <> bag, but her tone ticked me off and I said, "Fine. Let me see it please." She got it down for me, and indeed, I wasted her time and attention, because she had to keep her eyes on that expensive bag instead of the other customers...and I didn't buy it of course.

Oprah is a good friend of Obama’s AND donated to his campaign, convinced others to donate. They’re connected. EVERY conservative everywhere should be repeating that over and over and over again

Oprah was named PETA’s person of the year in 2008 and was shopping for a crocodile handbag. $38,000 could feed HOW many of Chicago’s homeless children. The hypocrisy is endless.

C’mon, conservatives, as my kids would say, “grow a pair” and make sure everyone knows who associates with Obama. The media is not on our side, who cares. Use EVERY avenue available to you, social media, workplace, friends, anything to not let any of Obama’s associates get away with anything.

Oprah’s just a downtrodden, oppressed, disenfranchised billionaire who couldn’t make it in this racist, sexist, patriarchal society. What to do, what to do...

She’s just another lying racist Obama voter. I hope this story gets as much publicity as Paula Deen’s did and this is the end of Oprah! I am sick to death of her and all the rest of the racists trying to foment racial unrest in this country.

Obama’s two favorite women, Michele and Oprah, aka, Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dee, aka the Butt Sisters.

This is the perfect example of “Liberalism Uber Alles”. Sound familiar?

Anyone else getting tired of the endless movies showing all the evil whites, and all the victimized blacks from the America’s past?

42, The Help, The Butler, Django Unchained, etc.

I enjoyed 42 and The Help,but that’s about it for me.

I didn’t see Django and have absolutely no intention of seeing The Butler,especially since Oprah is involved.

I am a weekly moviegoer and we’re in the summer “dry spell”.

Oprah is the racist. Always has been an undercurrent to what she does. Praying on white women’s false guilt complex.

Here’s the deal Oprah.

Your own ancestors sold the black Africans into slavery. Powerful black Africans, many of them Muslims, sold other black Africans into slavery, made a LOT of money off of them, and they were brought here (and elsewhere) back then.

Then one day, a bunch of white people in America got tired of seeing the blacks enslaved (among other things) and went to war and freed them at the cost of hundreds of thousands of dead white men who fought to free the slaves, and millions of others who were wounded, injured, and disabled for life doing so.

But, soon thereafter, political powers took control after the war and created a horrible environment of reverse discrimination for political purposes (sound familiar?) during re-construction, and as soon as those white people being discriminated against could, they instituted their own discrimination.

Decades later, once again, white people helped black people over come that discrimination.

Problem is, political powers got ahold of that too and created a system to destroy the black family and make them endlessly dependent on those political powers and consigned them to inner city reservation (housing projects) and have done all in their power to keep them there every since.

They have been assisted in this by traitors to their own race (just like the original Africans were who sold their people into slavery) by race baiters, power-mongers, and flim-flam men like Jesses Jackson, Al Sharpton, and other people, including Ophrah, who endlessly decry the very white people who freed them, and who ended their discrimination, so they can get wealthy and gain influence at the cost of their own.

Well, the truth is, people like Ophrah and her kids and great grandkids should be thanking the dedicated, moral white people of this country for their unbelievable help and sacrifice...and doing all in their power to help their people raise up, get away from dependency and realize their dreams and ambitions.

But they are too busy climbing ladders, getting power and influence, and making money on the backs of their own to ever entertain actually helping them.
