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.
A “Racist” is anyone that dark-skinned hatemongers happen to dislike.
You first.
You first, Orca ...
"The police acted stupidly."
"If I had a son he would look like Trayvon."
This is nothing more than the elitist's version of the Knockout Game.
Well then, Jessie jackson, Sharpton, Michelle O will have ot go too.
Back in the “bloat mode” again.
Is she prepping for the next weight loss book/diet regimen/ wonder pill media onslaught?
I completely agree with Oprah. It’s not my fault if I kill a racist black teen while defending my life.
They say she is worth over a billion dollars, I’d say 99.9% of that came from the people she wants killed.
Sadly whites continue to financially contribute to her even as she blatantly shows her own racial prejuduce. Probably lots more like her too, and their hatred/resentment of whites is just under the surface of their public facades. But let the facade down and see the hatred boil over.
And we thought Rwanda and Tutses fighting each other was bad...man’s capacity for evil, violence, hate is exemplified in so many sad historical clashes between tribes, sects, races, religions, cultures, countries. Our human failing of hate is not limited to just one of these groups.
Man, does this world need Jesus or what?!
So, Oprah .. .is it better if they die sooner??
Guess that means racism would end all that much quicker, eh?
I’d say Oprah has reached a new level of evil not yet seen before in the modern culture or the media.
I dare say that she lost a good portion of her viewers when she came out in support of Barack Obama. That would be roughly 50 % of her viewers. I know that her cable thing is not a huge success. She might try to say that people don't watch cable that much, but if she was still a huge hit her viewers would follow her to cable. That didn't happen. (People watch "Mad Men" in droves and it is on cable.) She lives in her own world where she can think everyone still bows down when she walks by. But it ain't happening.
You can't kick people between the eyes and expect them to adore you. Hence, Obama's 37 % approval rating.
I do believe almost 3/4 of a million white boys slaughtered each other to end slavery.
That is about one white boy for every seven slaves.
Great. When Charlie Manson calls for a race war, he’s considered a kook.
You can bet Orpah (original sp.) isn’t going to put her fat fingers into a trigger guard.
Oprah is including herself on that death wish, obviously.
Fat physician, heal thyself.
To end racism you must kill all but one race..right Oprah..and we know your choice
