The mogul, on CBS This Morning to promote her new tea line with Starbucks, said Sterling's comments remind her of "a plantation mentality in the 21st century, in 2014. It just doesn't fit."

“I’ll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.”

— Lyndon B. Johnson to two governors on Air Force One according Ronald Kessler’s Book, “Inside The White House”

I guess LBJ could never own an NBA team.

Why settle for one team, when his "Great Society" legislation made an entire race subservient to him? And all of it purchased with other people's money to boot.

OPRAH is a racist hypocrite.

What he said was said in private and illegally taped. EVERYONE says things in private not meant for public ears.

And that prostitute he had for a girlfriend set the guy up - illegally according to California law.

I would volunteer to put my foot up Okra’s butt, but I am afraid it would get stuck in that cottage cheese carton.

If this was an scheme to finally disgrace Sterling publicly to allow Magic Johnson to pick up his own NBA team on the cheap, then all I can say is - well played.

There's good racism (Black power! La Raza!) and there's bad racism (live white people) -- that's been accepted for at least five decades that I remember. Oprah reminded us of that recently.

That's how come this billionaire can say something worse than Sterling and there's virtual cheers from the employees of the MSM, et al.

Oprah Winfrey is quoted by MSM employees as specifying that "racists just have to die." That begs the question who are the unacceptable racists?

All white people? Most certainly only white people.

Ms Winfrey seems to agree saying just being white, born, bred, and "marinated" in a culture where white prejudice and racism exist (the South) is enough proof.

IOW, white people just have to die, says Oprah.

"We agree!" applauded the members of the nation's Knockout Game Teams and the MSM, et al.

Which raises a question about suing Winfrey, et al using the doctrine of vicarious liability. It's been used to blame at least one white supremacist group for actions of people who had only heard the group's hate speech.

It must really bother her that Merv Griffin, a very close friend of the Reagans was responsible for her success. I wonder how she spins that to be racist. You know she does..., she just has to.

and as know, at this site, besides obama, and hillary, the oprah is the greatest pusher of the ‘plantation mentality’ for her listeners, besides the view.

I can sleep tonight knowing that Oprah has commented. Its easy to see how the richest black woman in America can still think we are a racist country. (well, not really.)
