From Parade Magazine...
Oprah's "education" is mind-numbingly nonexistent.
After bragging about knowing "her history" and the history of blacks, oops, I mean "african Americans," Oprah goes on to say... 1. Can't use the n word around her because that is the last word that MILLIONS of people heard as they swung from a tree. Really? Millions? 2. Back in the 60s, blacks didn't say "niggah, please," they said "negro, please." Who has ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever heard one black say to another black, "negro, please"?
‘Liberals are so easily swayed’ LOL
i thought it was billions and billions
It is not ignorance, it is a conscious effort to equate slavery deaths with the Holocaust and you can’t do that if the slavery deaths are(terrible as they were) only in the thousands. And of course you must exclude those killers that were African and Muslim. Only White Europeans may be culpable, thank you very much.
Gotta get them flags on Mars before Guam tips over, because the ecology of the migratory patterns of the sharks in the ocean depend on you!
Pointing out her error will work out about as well as discussing rape relative to abortion. To point out that there weren’t millions is to leave oneself open to being insensitive to the ones that happens. It’s so perfect it feels like a setup. I can see it coming...
Most credible sources put the total number of Africans ever landing in the U.S. from the slave trade somewhere between 400K and 600K. Their total numbers in the U.S. at the time of the Civil War was approx. 4.5M. Oprah has been spewing BS for 25 years. It’s a shame so many believe it.
Well I’m saying it because I’m sick to death of the cowardice. Chances are that there were just as many if not more whites hung and I couldn’t care less what Oprah or anyone else thinks.
I heard it in the 70s, it was kind of a sarcastic way of saying the original version. I wasn't in that environment for a long time after that, so when I heard that expression on "Pulp Fiction" it gave me a chuckle. I had heard it before, said just like that, only not to a white guy.
Clueless dem;
wiki
“The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), as well as numerous other organizations, organized support from white and black Americans alike and conducted a national campaign to get a federal anti-lynching law passed; in 1920 the Republican Party promised at its national convention to support passage of such a law. In 1921 Leonidas C. Dyer sponsored an anti-lynching bill; it was passed in January 1922 in the United States House of Representatives, but a Senate filibuster by Southern white Democrats defeated it in December 1922. With the NAACP, Representative Dyer spoke across the country in support of his bill in 1923, but Southern Democrats again filibustered it in the Senate. He tried once more but was again unsuccessful.
African-American women’s clubs, such as the Association of Southern Women for the Prevention of Lynching, raised funds to support the work of public campaigns, including anti-lynching plays. Their petition drives, letter campaigns, meetings and demonstrations helped to highlight the issues and combat lynching.[2] From 1882 to 1968, “...nearly 200 anti-lynching bills were introduced in Congress, and three passed the House. Seven presidents between 1890 and 1952 petitioned Congress to pass a federal law.”[3] No bill was approved by the Senate because of the powerful opposition of the Southern Democratic voting block”
Close.
The Tuskegee Institute has recorded 3,446 blacks and 1,297 whites were lynched between 1882 and 1968.
Was it the same guy who thought that Guam was going to capsize?
From left-leaning wiki;
“The Tuskegee Institute has recorded 3,446 blacks and 1,297 whites were lynched between 1882 and 1968.”
You are a VERY VERY funny man!
I wonder if Oprah told her sad song Afro-diary about this:
Nobody has lost more for backing Obama than Oprah Winfrey. She had fund-raisers for him on her Cali estate. She appeared publicly with M/M on the campaign trail.....had the two on her show, etc etc etc.
But her viewers were appalled at her blatant politicking-—they stopped tuning in...and soon Oprah slipped in the ratings, and lost her lucrative talk show.
Later when she tried to cash in——the O’s snubbed her. The buzz is Mrs O berated Mr O for seeking Oprah’s advice.
Mrs O left her hanging when she showed up at the WH-—
and told Oprah she would not appear on her show.
She told the audience that her mother worked for a nice white lady, and now she has nice white ladies working for her.
There was just something about the way she said it that made her sound real smarmy.
Obviously this wasn’t posted in News. :’)
Thanks Doctor 2Brains.
Maybe to the US. But many were brought to the sugar plantations and mills of the Caribbean islands.
