A lying negro. Imagine that!

When I first read about this story, I thought Oprah was over-reacting - chances are a snooty European boutique store would show the same attitude toward any American tourist regardless of skin color. Then I read posts like yours and others comparing the woman to a 900 lb gorilla and a homeless bag lady and I have to think the woman has a right to be hyper-sensitive to the possibility of racism. Some real ugliness in this thread, and it isn't Oprah's.
