Some interesting quotes in that a person wants to be identified as n "American" and that is criticized by the hostess.

"You're going to get a lot of flak for saying you're not African American. You know that, right?"

Good for her. She’s got a lot more class and sense than oprah.

I’ve never understood identifying as an African American. I don’t call myself a European American. My roots are in America and I am far removed from any connection to England, France or Norway. Still, one of these years I will attend a Syttende Mai event in honor of my late grandfather.

Well she isn’t gay, but her girlfriend is.

I Don't Want to Be Labeled Gay -- so says the "star".

OK, I will not label you gay. But I will label you a decadent, vile, God-denying, twisted, pestilential, wicked, disgusting, noxious sexual deviant and sodomite. Homosexuality is an abomination and that aptly describes you, missy. I prefer to reserve the word "gay" for what it really means before the pink Nazis corrupted it.

How many have come out as straight? That should be big news, right?

The problem here is here “yay government”. She doesn’t understand the Constitution. But neither does John Roberts and the libs on the court.

I wish we had a tough president with a hard hitting AG that would demand Roberts resignation. He refuses, start impeachment hearings. His Obamacare decision alone is so unconstitutional it’s laughable.

“I’m an American, not an African-American”.

I like her attitude and could frankly care less who she goes home to every night after work.

I’m glad that she is proud to an American first and foremost and that she does not seem to care to label and define herself as either an African-America or as Queer.

Seems like Oprah has a REAL problem with both her lack of preoccupation with her racial identity and her sexual orientation.

But then, Oprah sucks.

She’s not from Africa any more than I’m from Germany, Ireland, Scotland or England.

Were either of us from those places and migrated we would be part of two wholes.

Nope. I was born an American. A true U.S. Male.

So did she get married? She was happy when they made it legal but she refers to her “Partner” not spouse.
Funny the gays want same sex marriage but most do not want to get married. The gay men and women I have known have the most dysfunctional relationship you could imagine.

At the time, she tweeted, "I can finally get married! Yay government! So proud of you." Many people saw it as her way of publicly coming out. Asked to explain, Raven replied, "That was my way of saying I'm proud of the country. But, I will say that I'm in an amazing, happy relationship with my partner. A woman."

So she's saying that she wants to force others to recognize same sex marriage but she doesn't need marriage to make her relationship with her same sex partner "better".

It was about changing the culture, not getting married. In Texas and other states, they are seeking the ability to get divorced in a state that does not recognize their marriage to begin with. It isn't about "love". It's about radical politics.

When I fill out any questionnaire that asks about my race I check “other” or write in human

I don’t want to help them in their eternal quest for balkanization and racism
