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 hes 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, its, 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 were not still facing the same kind of terrorism against black people en masse as was displayed with the Scottsboro boys. Its 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.
As without a single doubt, in 2013, the vast majority of racists are blacks, I guess Oprah is calling for them to die quickly.
Given 6.5% of our population being black yet committing over 50% of all crimes, Oprah must be trying to reduce crime.
Go for it Oprah.
If she got her wish, and all the racists in this country dropped dead tomorrow MOST of them would be BLACK! She ok with that???
Exactly!...Stupid in the White House no matter the color doesn’t help anybody!
Those punks are not only sucker punching whites. I was in the eye clinic of a VA Hospital this morning and an elderly black veteran was there for surgery after he had been knocked out in his own neighborhood. I talked with him and he is a firm believer that all young men should spend time in the military, a belief that I share. He also acknowledged that he lives in a bad neighborhood, and he has lived there all his life, but is too poor to get out. It was sad.
This is better than the tantrum she pulled when the clerk would not show her the $45,000.00 hand bag! Is she calling for a race war?
Okay, Oprah, you go first.
Leftists have to die before Personal Liberty can be returned.
Orca continues to open her mouth and remove all doubt.
Of course, this doesn’t apply to DEMOCRAT PLANTATION RACISTS, only white ones...
Hypocrite.
Don’t forget, by definition, all whites are racist.
"The president's specific words: I'm really good at killing people, authors Mark Halperin and John Heilemann write..."
I guess we will need to wait for you, Oprah, and Barack to die for racism to end!
She’s just got a case of red-ass `cause the New Yorker didn’t compare it to `Citizen Kane’ or blow smoke up her economy sized caboose.
In fact, they kinda panned it.

The Butler is a lightweight, didactic movie, a kind of well-produced high-school entertainment.”
Keep your chins up, Okra! Hollywierd would (and will) give you your Oskar, even if it had been two hours of you eating Cheetos, looking bored and passing gas.
We’d be better off if this no talent bitch went room temp first.
she’s actually somewhat right... racists like HER, Al Sharpton, and Jessie Jackson will have to die before we can end the scourge of racism infecting the black community!
I feel the same way when I hear people hate JEWS. Everyone that hates JEWS should be held to the standard.
I am ok with entire generations of people dying to end racism—as long as we start with the current generation of feral African-American teens playing the Knock-Out game.
