Oprah: Many Americans hate Obama because he’s black
Hot Air ^ | 15 Nov 2013 | BRUCE MCQUAIN

The tattered race-card is once again deployed because Americans are criticizing their President and he happens to be black. This time it was waved around by Oprah Winfrey while in the UK shilling for her new film:

Oprah Winfrey has been a prominent supporter of Barack Obama. She thinks that both he and the Office of President have been treated with contempt because of the colour of his skin.

“There’s a level of disrespect for the office that occurs. And that occurs in some cases and maybe even many cases because he’s African American. There’s no question about that and it’s the kind of thing nobody ever says but everybody’s thinking it.”

“Everybody” … got that? ”Everybody” is thinking it.

No one could be basing their conclusion about him on the apparent fact that he’s an incompetent who happens to be black. No one could be thinking that his political agenda defines him and they oppose it. No one could possibly be opposed to him because his actions have directly effected their lives in a negative way (see ObamaCare), could they?

No all “everybody” ever thinks about is how black he is and how badly they hate him for that (never mind the cognitive dissonance that must exist in order to ignore his election and re-election and reach this conclusion).

This is what normally happens when one personally invests in a politician and has to find a way to excuse their miserable failure. Winfrey put a lot of personal capital on the line for Obama and essentially understands he’s failing but refuses to see the real reasons for why that’s happening. Instead she turns to the old and dependable habit of crying “race"

The race card—the one card trick for the intellectually impoverished.

You can always pry “The Oprah” out of the ghetto, but you can never pry the ghetto out of “The Oprah”.

No, the hate comes from the radical socialist incompetence.

Actually, most of the blind love comes from racism.

From “maybe” to “no question” in one confused leap.

Since the Nabisco spinoff from Kraft, Oreo is meaningless and all encompassing. Oreo has become the brand

bert for instance is oreo..... vanilla with double stuff

Ubama hates many Americans because they're white, so we're even.

Weird - I’ll bet most of these same people like Allen West and Thomas Sowell. Just a hunch.

It’s the liberalism, stupid.

Lol...California Raisins.

Thank you, COA, you have inadvertently helped me get thru the next 3 years without throwing a shoe thru the tv...or broke a bone racing to turn off the set when he appears.

I will keep this image in my mind and just give a hearty laugh...and stroll to the tv to turn it off.

I’ve been really disappointed in hearing Oprah’s recent conversion to being an all-knowing victim of racism. She offers no proof, whatsoever, to back her claim of pervasive racism against Obama. She just throws out these broad accusations because she just “knows”. Obviously, being black hasn’t held back her career too badly. If American white racism is so pervasive, how in the world did Oprah ever succeed? Were the people tuned to another channel during her TV show all racist? Or did they just prefer something else to kill time during the afternoon?

We don't hate Barack Obama because he's black, but because he's RED

Congratulations, Oprack!

Up until now, you were the only liberal black person in the USA to not say that!

You are officially the last one to say it. A plaque will be installed in your honor in your favorite Chicago bathhouse and you will be invited to put the imprint of your favorite private parts in concrete.

I had many people tell me that I would not vote for him because he is black, My reply was that was that I would not vote for him because he was RED.

They did not get it.

As someone that stood for over 20 years with a rifle ready to fight Communists, I never thought we would elect the bastards
