Oprah Victim of Racism In leftist France

The nature of the French is to close on time, and not let anyone (no matter who they are) shop after they're closed.

This isn't the first time a famous person has been denied entry into a store at closing time.

That's simply their snobby nature. It's nothing against Oprah.

I certainly do not view France as an "oasis of tolerance" but that's not relevant to this event.

For once, I like the French. Apparently, they have no concern for Oprah's vast ego.

Chances are too the purses that are bought for that kind of money are out of style next year anyway. What a terrible, terrible waste of money. Not for the skilled craftsman or woman who made the purse, or for the company that hires them, or for the fortunate one who inherits a purse that is a work of art after the "great one" tires of it.

This sort of ostentatious spending is just Capitalist wealth redistribution.

Don't care who makes them or who manufactures them. It is still ludicrous in my eyes.

Exactly. And she's going to continue her little tantrum on her show.

What a joke.

Don't forget Japan and Mexico - pretty high on the bigotometer, too.

It doesn't sound like racism to me. It sounds like she wanted to enter the store after closing time.

Now, it may not have been a sound business move, since she's a big spender, but if the store was closed, that's the likeliest reason she was allowed to enter.

The dumb broads who watch Oprah don't know what Hermes is and how it is spelled. They will probably think she is referring to Herpes.
