Fox News' Jesse Watters Denounces Oprah's 'Atrocious' Trayvon Martin Comments (VIDEO)
Fox Nation ^ | Aug 6 | Staff

Monday afternoon towards the end of The Five, fill-in host and frequent O’Reilly Factor correspondent Jesse Watters shared his opinions about Oprah Winfrey’s first public comments about the Trayvon Martin case. Watters called Winfrey’s analogy to Emmett Till “atrocious” and said it was a “missed opportunity” for the influential media mogul to move the country forward on the issue of race. After explaining to Fox viewers who exactly Emmett Till was, Watters expressed his dismay at what he saw as an unfair comparison.

I don't recall ever having seen any mention made of a concrete sidewalk in the Emmet Till case.Or any indication of him ever having been found in possession of stolen jewelry.It sounds for all the world like Till was guilty of nothing more than minor discourtesy whereas NoLimitsNigga was attempting to murder GZ.

I am actually glad she decided to make this comparison because some low info voters may take the time to google the story of Emmett Till to see what in the world she is talking about. If they do, they may have a hard time agreeing with her. I just saw the preview for her movie “The Butler” and it is another attempt to stuff revisionist history down our throats.

Oprah has no special traits that make her smarter than any other racist black, just because she is rich.

She shares their racism, as does the 95% who voted for Obama including Colon Powell, and Bill Cosby. Products of prejudices taught since childhood, passed on from parent to child.

Race Pimp(ette) making million$ expressing phony outrage toward people having no connection to racial incidents which never happened. Sounds like a plan.

Affirmative Action on steroids. The biggest race pimps of all demanding reparations for people who were never slaves to anything but their monthly Welfare checks and the addictions they support.

Now, where the heck did I leave that rubber hose...?

Here is gorpy Oprah in her tastelessly gaudy, Hollywood stage-set decorated, ‘early Bordello’ style, faux mansion and attempting (as usual) to pass herself off as an educated and informed person. On this topic she has NOTHING to recommend her except that she HAPPENS to have the same racial background as Martin. WOW...!! What tremendous creds!!! Ha! By that logic, 'My father is a world accalaimed brain surgeon, SO I am TOO??' Really!?

Just ONCE I’d like to see one of these celebrity morons actually speak like people who have bothered to familiarize themselves with the topic. Just ONCE I’d like to hear one of them quote a documented source or speak with a command of the historic and recorded facts.

Instead, they speak from emotion... everything is at the level of emotion, becuase for THEM there is NO substance.

JW did good. Yes, Oprah missed and opportunity, but worse, it was deliberate.

There is nothing to be gained in “moving forward” on race. Indeed we have moved far more ahead then the race baiters and pimps will ever allow to be acknowledged.

There is no money is solving the problem...

I though Oprah was out of the country, blocking some sewer in London, yesterday.

Winfrey is a first-class racist, Christian-hating lesbo made rich by guilt-ridden white women. Bob


Of course she is, that’s why she was a faithful congregate of Trinity United Church. It was only because Obama decided to run for POTUS that she bailed because she didn’t want her shows sponsors to find out her true beliefs.

Negritude trumps all - always, and without exception.

Oh, but there is one exception, and that is black conservatives. Black racists hate me far more than they hate whites.

Interesting. I didn't know that Emmett Till was a dope-smoking gangsta wannabe.
Was he into fire ass lean too?

Move the country forward?!? Many years ago when she had her talk show, she did a segment on the descendants of Jefferson and Sally Hemings. At the end, she had the creepy ass crackers stand up and apologize for slavery. She is just as much a racist as Jessie and Al.

That left on mark on Oprah’s behind, but Stevie Wonder could have hit that with a bag of rice from 50 feet away.

The woman that used to cut my hair said that Oprah should run for POTUS and that she would vote for her. I thought she was joking, but she was dead serious. I asked her, what makes Oprah qualified for the job? She said, "She's smart." BTW, the woman in question is in her early 40's and white. She also voted for Obama. The few times I discussed politics with her, she displayed utter ignorance on every subject under the Sun.
