In what appeared to be a snub to Al Sharpton, Oprah Winfrey recently argued that demonstrators in New York City and Ferguson lack the same motivation and leadership of the civil rights movement of the 1960s.

“I think it’s wonderful to march and to protest, and it’s wonderful to see all across the country people doing it,” Ms. Winfrey told People magazine while promoting her upcoming movie “Selma” in the magazine’s new issue.

“ What I’m looking for is some kind of leadership to come out of this to say, ‘This is what we want. This is what has to change, and these are the steps that we need to take to make these changes, and this is what we’re willing to do to get it,’” she said.

okay orka you get out there... and LEAD.....

[Paleo Conservative]

I disagree with Oprah. The protesters are doing exactly what Sharpton and Obama want them to do.

[MeshugeMikey]

oprah simply doesnt like being overlooked....

[Sasparilla]

Maybe the, This is what we want, and this is what has to change,” shouldn’t be based on lies the “Protesters” believe.

[jsanders2001]

Maybe Oprah thinks they’re not being quite destructive enough.

sacrifice, work ethic, dedication, paying a price??? Are we really talking about the black entitlement communities today?????

These things are not compatible with the mentality of the black mobs today. They are more about free sneakers and free booze, and free flat-screen TV's that they can steal and call it a protest.

The only thing they are protesting is paying for what they steal.

rite awn ...Rite Awn ....RITE AWN!!

[MeshugeMikey]

too bad she doesn’t have a TV show from which to champion their vile acts

if she had cancelled her show Mike Brown and Eric Garner might still be alive....../S

[VeniVidiVici]

So why doesn’t Oprah get her fat ass out there and lead the new “civil rights movement”? Oh yeah, maybe it might cause her to lose all the low-information voters that now buy her horse pucky.

I want a Free Bentley...and a three million dollar cabin on an island somewhere

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

What a minute, this is the same Oafrah who relentlessly promoted a hardcore American hating commie bastard for POTUS?

[MeshugeMikey]

she likes running her mouth from a safe distance from the PEONS?

[gaijin]

She was a front-row parishioner at black Supremacist TRINITY CHURCH for decades:

You know deep down she WANTS to endorse Sharpton and all the Ferguson filth.

She’s just too political to be honest about her true motives.

[MeshugeMikey]

as that great scholar and theologian Jimi Hendrix once axed...

“...Is this Love or is this uh....CONFUSION...”

Oprah jest wants the limelight...

[rlmorel]

What a tool. The protesters have PLENTY of leadership, you Marxist twit.

Idiots like yourself, just with a different focus.

[dennisw]

Oprah is afraid white people aren’t going to buy her crappy product be it movie or television

[MeshugeMikey]

Shes simply missing that expensive spotlight and wants SO much to be relevant.

She is The Chicago-Hollywood Wing

[2banana]

[MeshugeMikey]
