Oprah Racism Story Is Untrue, Says Sales Clerk at Center of Media Storm (Oprah's Swiss Race Hoax)
Hollyweird Reporter ^ | 08/12/2013 | Paul Bond

The anonymous sales clerk accused of racism by Oprah Winfrey is fighting back by way of a newspaper interview in which she says the media tycoon is lying about an incident that occurred in a Swiss store recently, and she says as a result, she has been thrust into a media-infused "nightmare” that has left her feeling "powerless."

"I don’t know why she is making these accusations. She is so powerful, and I am just a shop girl," the sales clerk told the Swiss newspaper SonntagsBlick, according to a translation from London’s Daily Mail.

Okrah probably shot her some cash. It heals many wounds. All ya have to do now days is shut people up with cash.

In a she said...it said...Have to rely on statistics...

Let's see...A simple perusal of the news media over the past few years, racial "incidents" have ultimately turned out to false or hoaxes...

I vote for "false" in this case.

8/12/2013 = “Recently”?

Why not? The false accusations against Roy Moore that dated back to 1977 were breathlessly reported by the media as if they’d just happened so by that measure then something from 2013 is not just recent, it’s practically current!

Poor Oprah! Victimized! Maybe we should take up a collection. The store clerk claims she did not know who Oprah was. That is enough to reveal that she is a racist. Everyone knows who Oprah is. Can’t wait for her to run for President. She can have as her running mate that woman who takes a bath in frootloops, GloZell. We can look forward to the U.S. becoming one big Detroit.

I recall she also had a meltdown in Paris, she was demanding to be admitted to a locked store after business hours, and in her mind the clerk was a racist for not opening the store for her after hours. Liberal privileged entitlement strikes again.

It was probably “recently” when the article was written.

I haven’t clicked on the link but appears it’s an old article by the date, obviously.

I still remember, about 20+ years ago, hearing her talk about how racist white Americans are, when somewhere in NY, a young black girl had her face written on by a group of white youths, who turned out to be a group of non-American white youths. If I remember correctly these youths were originally from Albania and hadn’t been in the U.S. very long. She never mentioned this which to me seemed like a bigoted, contentious way of stirring the your a racist pot.

Racism? Oprah?

She explained on her show one time that her mama worked for nice white ladies and that she has nice white ladies working for her.
