On Thursday, CNN’s Anderson Cooper interviewed Oprah Winfrey and Forest Whitaker, stars of Oscar-bait The Butler. During the interview, in which Cooper thoughtfully nodded as Winfrey and Whitaker race-baited, Oprah suggested Emmitt Till and Trayvon Martin were equivalent symbols, and that Americans were racist even if they didn’t have ill will toward black people. When Cooper cited polls showing that black Americans were upset about Trayvon Martin and whites thought too much had been made of the case, Oprah sighed, “Oh, I know, I know. That’s why I love the film in light of this discussion is because it brings context to this discussion. I mean, look at the film, beginning with that lynching scene and ending with walking into Obama’s office, look at what has happened in the span of one man’s lifetime.”

Cooper asked, “It’s amazing to me how people from different backgrounds see this.” He then talked about a juror “who did not understand, did not feel linked to Trayvon Martin, felt connected to George Zimmerman in a way, but not Trayvon Martin, she felt race was not part of this case at all.” Oprah couldn’t wait to jump in, blurting, “People don’t feel it’s race because people don’t call it race…A lot of people think if they think they’re not using the n-word themselves, they physically aren’t using the n-word themselves, and do not harbor ill will towards black people that it’s not racist. But to me it’s ridiculous to look at that case and not to think that race was involved.”

It’s not to late Steve,She regrets bringing up the 35,000.00 thing.Strike while the iron is hot Let;s all write her and suggest she give it away so we could like her again-with her new movie and all.We don’t have to say we will go :)
I didn’t know this either. Explains a lot. Thanks.
Hey Bitch, you can’t take your money with you!
Kind oblige telling an alcoholic it won’t matter how long you’re sober “you’ll be a dry drunk”
It’s a setup and a lose-lose.
No point in engaging.
Not that it makes a whit of difference to me, but I can't help wondering what it would take for this obscenely rich, but delusional woman to view non-Africans as not racist.
I don't believe she has the brains or intellectual horsepower to articulate a coherent explanation.
Having normal American citizens of all other races and cultures accept the thug criminal culture as-is simply is not going to happen.
OK, these people are just boring now......
I used to actually watch the Oprah show in the 90s. Because this evil b@tch supported the phony Barry, I will never watch her again - not for 2 seconds. DEPORT OPRAH!
Dear Oprah: Shut your pie hole, you stupid cow.
You can take a Black out of the ghetto, but you can take the ghetto out of some Blacks.
Way past time we cut the slack from this racist opportunist.
Stick a fork in her, she’s done.
I look at that 35 grand and think “That would buy my kid a college education.”
She looks at the same 35K and thinks, “I need another purse to wear to my friend’s wing-ding.”
She’s out of touch. Nuff said.
They never miss an opportunity to condemn all Whites as racist, and to excuse their own self-inflicted pathologies.
When blacks attack or do an injustice to whites, it’s a non issue for Democrats and their supporters. When a Hispanic of mixed racial heritage defends himself from a young black attacker bashing his head into the ground, it’s racism. That’s how one-sided the likes of Oprah and allegedly reverends Al and Jackson see it. It’s long past time when we must dismiss all of these clowns, con men (and women), running a race hustle for their own financial benefit. Color is irrelevant and irrational when it’s sole use is to prop up Democrats in their latest big scam. The Democrats used race throughout the slavery years, the reconstruction years, the Jim Crow years, and now the post-Voting rights years. It’s not about justice anymore. It’s about self-enrichment for the professional grievance industry. Shame on Oprah and her phony scandals. If any of these people, like Oprah cared about poor blacks, they’d be doing something to help them besides blaming whitey.
I think she is mad because most people she has played the race card one time too often. Being a lesbian doesn’t help matters either. Women used to watch her show on a daily basis, and now don’t care what that fat cow has to say.
Leftwing compassion = spending OTHER PEOPLES MONEY (OPM) - never their own.
Me: Using the Cracker Word, Harboring Ill Will Towards Whites Mean You're Not Racist
