Race Hoax? Oprah 'Apologizes' After Accused Racist Calls Her a Liar
Breitbart.com ^ | 8-13-2013 | John Nolte

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?

I read in a news-rag that Mooch and Noprah hate each other. Two strong willed, angry black women? I believe it.

Oprah will be around A LOT LONGER than Moochelle.

Remember that Beatles' song, "Michelle, ma belle"? I ALWAYS said "Michelle, you smell." :o) Now I have another Michelle to sing that about. Harhar.
