Oprah Winfrey, one of the wealthiest people in the world, is throwing the race card again.
During an interview with the BBC Friday, she not only said that President Obama is treated with disrespect because he’s black, but also that entire generations of racists are going to have to die for racism to end (video follows with transcript and commentary):
WILL GOMPERTZ, BBC: The issue of the civil rights movement, and the way that black people around the world are treated, particularly I suppose in, around the world…
OPRAH WINFREY: Around the world.
GOMPERTZ: Around the world. Look at place like Russia, it’s, you know…
WINFREY: Around the world.
GOMPERTZ: So is this, is this, I suppose from a movie point of view, what the movie and the messages hold and the other movies we were discussing, and “Scottsboro Boys,” are these historical comments or are we still looking at a contemporary issue?
WINFREY: Good question. Well phrased. Good job. It would be foolish to not recognize that we have evolved in that we’re not still facing the same kind of terrorism against black people en masse as was displayed with the Scottsboro boys. It’s gotten better. Are there still places where people are terrorized because of the color of their skin, because of the color of their black skin? Yes. But there are laws that have allowed us to progress beyond what we saw in the Scottsboro boys and beyond the even the prejudice we see in “The Butler.”
She just wished death on the president......shouldn’t the FBI be investigating?
Physiological realities that are purposely overlooked to meet the Title federal grant matching money.... all for the sake of “faiiiirness” which results in incompetence and ineffective delivery of the desired service. But of course, even thinking about this obviously demonstrable sub-standard adjustment of performance standard to meet a “social engineering” liberals statistical need, why that is of course— “racists”. Wrongo libs— a short fat squat Italian American woman cannot lift an elderly person and carry either— it isn’t racist— it is performance standards which cannot ever be met, for equality of “statistical” outcome.
Well said.
Yep.
