Oprah made the whites in her audience stand up and apologize for slavery when she did a segment on Thomas Jefferson and Sally Heming's decendants. Somehow she's still luuuuved by the nation, ugh.
Did she then make the blacks stand up and apologize for the high crime rates for blacks and for 75% of all black males being in prison for committing crimes and for narcotic welfare, and for 30 years of rap music?
I would have told harpo oprah to go to hell.
Of course, I wouldn’t have been there to start with.
Why doesn’t she investigate the real problem- Africa’s modern, ongoing slave trade? These people like oprah and jesse are just part of the problem, and they are nothing but slimy racists of the lowest order.

The irony of Oprah's grandstanding is that, in Chicago, over 50% of all whites probably trace their entire American ancestry back to Ellis Island after the end of slavery in America. Their ancestors were never involved with African slavery in Europe and their ancestors had never laid eyes on a black man until at least 20 years after slavery end in America.
A further irony is that, in Chicago, the other whites with older American roots most likely had ancestors that fought, bled and died during the Civil war on the Union side and African Americans owe the freedom of their ancestors from slavery to the ancestors of those whites.
By contrast, most American blacks have some white ancestors that were slave owners and ALL American blacks have African ancestors that enslaved Africans from other tribes.
But, hey, if you are on the Oprah Show and are too dumb to stand up for yourself, you deserve whatever humiliation you get.
Are you serious? I knew she was off the deep end, but that’s just absurd. My grandmother warned me about her, I used to take it with a grain of salt but I’ve been seeing Oprah more and more as a race pusher. My grandmother would tell me that she used to be so fond of her, but she noticed that she just gradually fell deeper in with these radical ideas and she just lost all respect for her.
Maybe others will stand, but for me, “that will be the day”.
“Somehow she’s still luuuuved by the nation, ugh.”
Make that nation-1.
I think she’s a skunk.
Not that I would ever be caught dead at an Oprah show but that would have been when I stood up and walked out.
Had I been on Oprah’s show that day I would have kept my white ass in my seat.
And,if questioned by The Queen,I would have said,”Oprah,I had NOTHING to do with slavery.I WILL stand up in front of God and the world and cuss out all the racist slaveholders of long ago if that makes you feel better.But I am not making a personal apology for the slave trade since I was never involved”
