Let me guess. You posted this from your smart phone, right?
Oprah hates White people.
The clerk’s recounting of the conversation is quite different than Oprah’s. She never said anything about being able to afford it.
In any case, a normal person can’t afford it. The implication, had she said such a thing, would be that Oprah looked like a normal person. Only in Oprah’s mind would it be racial. Except that according to the clerk, it didn’t happen.
So, either Oprah’s own racial sensitivities are on display here, and her assumption that a Swiss being Swiss must be a racist, or else she made it up out of whole cloth.
I thought they cost all of the same. I don’t care how rich someone is, paying $38,000 for a purse is insanity.
“A Tale of Two Bags”
We’re never going to be a post-racial society as long as a billionaire can go to Switzerland and play the race card on a store clerk. Geez!
It probably had a built-in freezer and meat tenderizer, as well as ample storage space for a variety of dry goods.
typically.....a lib makes a statement, claims racism, people start to look into it, the story changes, the lib moves on...
we’ve seen this act before, and if I’m mistaken, by the same person...ANYTHING FOR A HEADLINE
1. Oprah without makeup does not look like Oprah with makeup and a third of her current weight. She looks like a frumpy bag lady. 2. No one in Switzerland knows Oprah, who looked like a frumpy bag lady before the wedding. 3. Oprah has a movie about racism she’s promoting.
This had nothing to do with a purse or a racist clerk.
Oprah admitted that if the purse was $38,000 then she wouldn’t have bought it anyway.
Oprah just wanted the clerk to climb up the ladder to that top shelf and bring it down so she could look at it and reject it making the clerk have to then climb back up to put it back.
The clerk wasn’t going to play step and fetch it for her and that’s what got Oprah bent out of shape. She made a snarky comment and then left the store.
Here is Oprah in her own words from the Daily Mail:
‘To be honest, if I had known upfront what this damned bag cost, do you know what? The woman was right: I would not have bought the thing - far too expensive! Too expensive! $38,000! I would have fainted when I saw the price tag.’
She continued: ‘The saleslady said it was the Jennifer Aniston bag that was created by Tom Ford for Jennifer. The idea went through my head that I should call Jennifer or Tom - I know them both very well.
Instead I said to the saleslady: “Okay, I understand. The bag is just for Jennifer, and only she is allowed to buy it, right?
‘The woman said “no, no” and tried to explain something. But I was no longer listening. I just said: “Thank you very much, you’re probably right that I can’t afford it.”

Well Bill Oreilly just called the clerk a moron and an idiot. Hope he’s made to eat his words!
The left has never failed to play the Race Card at every possible opportuinty. However, I’m getting the feeling that there is a deliberate effort in recent months to initiate a “Race Card Surge” in this country. In the last few months it been played with George Zimmerman, Paula Deen, Riley Cooper, and now Oprah and the store clerk. I wonder who the target will be tomorrow?
