While promoting her new film, "Lee Daniels' The Butler," Winfrey relayed an anecdote about being a victim of racism to Entertainment Tonight. "I say to the woman, 'Excuse me, may I see that bag right above your head?' And she says to me, 'No, it's too expensive.' She refused to get it."
Those are Oprah's exact words -- all told within the context of racism still being a very real problem for black people throughout the world.
During the interview, though, Oprah also refused -- and this will be important later -- to identify the store.
---------------
And what is Oprah's reaction to being called a liar by a racist? Well, it certainly isn't the reaction of someone who was the victim of racism and then called a liar by the racist.
No, when confronted with the shop girl's charge, Oprah issued a non-apology apology saying she was "sorry" the incident "got blown up."
Well, who blew it up? While promoting the movie, Oprah also shared the anecdote with Larry King. Obviously, this anecdote is part of Oprah's "Butler" promotional tour.
If we had a media worth a damn, it is right about now that they would be all over this.
1. As I said yesterday, isn't it just a little "too neat" that while promoting a film with a heavy racial theme that Oprah pulls a "this racism just happened to me" anecdote out of a $38,000 purse?
2. Why didn't Oprah want to announce to the world the name of a store that practices racism? Would that make the story too easy to check?
3. I repeat: Why isn't Oprah outraged that a practicing racist just called her a liar in front of the whole world?

“The Oprah.” Rush makes me laugh.

Oprah is all about one person..Oprah does what she does best, get her ugly mug in the news..then she slithers away to return to her failing network
Swiss shopkeeper: “We gladly accept American Express but leave your Race Card at home.”
Oprah is a good friend of Obama’s AND donated to his campaign, convinced others to donate. They’re connected. EVERY conservative everywhere should be repeating that over and over and over again
Oprah was named PETA’s person of the year in 2008 and was shopping for a crocodile handbag. $38,000 could feed HOW many of Chicago’s homeless children. The hypocrisy is endless.
C’mon, conservatives, as my kids would say, “grow a pair” and make sure everyone knows who associates with Obama. The media is not on our side, who cares. Use EVERY avenue available to you, social media, workplace, friends, anything to not let any of Obama’s associates get away with anything.
“Billionaire racist bigot bullies minimum wage retail sales clerk scratching out a living.”
Oprah is a practicing RACIST. She is no different than the RACISTS Obama, Holder, Jess and Al. They are all evil PONS.
Oprah’s just a downtrodden, oppressed, disenfranchised billionaire who couldn’t make it in this racist, sexist, patriarchal society. What to do, what to do...
When she hauls a$$ it takes two trips.
She’s just another lying racist Obama voter. I hope this story gets as much publicity as Paula Deen’s did and this is the end of Oprah! I am sick to death of her and all the rest of the racists trying to foment racial unrest in this country.
Obama’s two favorite women, Michele and Oprah, aka, Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dee, aka the Butt Sisters.
This is the perfect example of “Liberalism Uber Alles”. Sound familiar?
I’m looking high and low for the list of all the good things Orca has done. Why is it so hard to find?
Anyone else getting tired of the endless movies showing all the evil whites, and all the victimized blacks from the America’s past?
42, The Help, The Butler, Django Unchained, etc.
Dat ol’ man ‘Merican ‘spress Black,
He keep on rollin’ .....
We’re supposed to be liberal, and welcome all these movies about civil rights and related matters..
I enjoyed 42 and The Help,but that’s about it for me.
I didn’t see Django and have absolutely no intention of seeing The Butler,especially since Oprah is involved.
I am a weekly moviegoer and we’re in the summer “dry spell”.

The sales clerk works on commission.
She just said that because she thinks blacks can’t make it in America..... Er.... uh.... Oh wait....
Oprah is the racist. Always has been an undercurrent to what she does. Praying on white women’s false guilt complex.
Here’s the deal Oprah.
Your own ancestors sold the black Africans into slavery. Powerful black Africans, many of them Muslims, sold other black Africans into slavery, made a LOT of money off of them, and they were brought here (and elsewhere) back then.
Then one day, a bunch of white people in America got tired of seeing the blacks enslaved (among other things) and went to war and freed them at the cost of hundreds of thousands of dead white men who fought to free the slaves, and millions of others who were wounded, injured, and disabled for life doing so.
But, soon thereafter, political powers took control after the war and created a horrible environment of reverse discrimination for political purposes (sound familiar?) during re-construction, and as soon as those white people being discriminated against could, they instituted their own discrimination.
Decades later, once again, white people helped black people over come that discrimination.
Problem is, political powers got ahold of that too and created a system to destroy the black family and make them endlessly dependent on those political powers and consigned them to inner city reservation (housing projects) and have done all in their power to keep them there every since.
They have been assisted in this by traitors to their own race (just like the original Africans were who sold their people into slavery) by race baiters, power-mongers, and flim-flam men like Jesses Jackson, Al Sharpton, and other people, including Ophrah, who endlessly decry the very white people who freed them, and who ended their discrimination, so they can get wealthy and gain influence at the cost of their own.
Well, the truth is, people like Ophrah and her kids and great grandkids should be thanking the dedicated, moral white people of this country for their unbelievable help and sacrifice...and doing all in their power to help their people raise up, get away from dependency and realize their dreams and ambitions.
But they are too busy climbing ladders, getting power and influence, and making money on the backs of their own to ever entertain actually helping them.
