That's a lie, the anonymous sales clerk says according to the UK Daily Mail, adding she's felt "powerless" as a result of the media barrage following the incident.
I explained to her the bags came in different sizes and materials, like I always do.
'She looked at a frame behind me. Far above there was the 35,000 Swiss franc crocodile leather bag.
'I simply told her that it was like the one I held in my hand, only much more expensive, and that I could show her similar bags.
'It is absolutely not true that I declined to show her the bag on racist grounds. I even asked her if she wanted to look at the bag.

I think Oprah wanted to launder money gangster style and she felt embarassed by the whole ordeal and is now trying to go around the situation. These super expensive bags are solely used to pass money around.

Someone who is looking for Racism will always find it because someone looking for racism necessarily defines it as whatever happens.

The Swiss aren’t afraid of “Her Blackness”.
She is just another customer to them.
Oprah upset because the clerk did not kiss her ring and genuflect.

And conversely, one should not expect to walk into a store that sells $38K handbags and
not expect the salesperson to try and sell one to you.
I mean, seriously, was Oprah flashing a SNAP card or something?

Doesnt surprise me one bit. Looks like Oprah was using this trumped up incident to promote her upcoming movie by playing the old "racist" card.
No matter how much money she has, shes still a shallow, cheap opportunist playing on peoples emotions and perpetuating racial divisions. I hope her new movie fails.
