In a recent interview with BBC News, Oprah Winfrey said that President Obama is disrespected because he is an African-American.

"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," Winfrey said. "There’s no question about that, and it’s the kind of thing nobody ever says but everybody’s thinking it."

Speaking with the BBC's Will Gompertz in the UK to promote "The Butler," Winfrey also spoke to the global issue of racism.

"It's gotten better. Are there still places where people are terrorized because of the color of their skin, because of the color of their black skin? Yes."

Shut up, Oprah...just shut the hell up.

I respect a lot of African Americans. But I have no respect for a lying socialist turd. And Oafra needs to lose some weight and STFU.

[Gaffer]

She is waning. Sloth and selfish promotion always bring them down. Her word, recommendations and thoughts are meaningless as the Big 0 she calls that channel I have never watched.

The world will be a better place when Orca is pushing up daisies. (Or should i have said pushing up Okra.)

Amazingly enough black racism is so much more prevalent that white racism these days.

[servantboy777]

Typical negro comment. No matter how successful, they still hang on to that victim mentality.

[ZULU]

The biggest racist pig in the room in the who yells racism the loudest.

Oprah is a bloated no talent social parasite.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Oprah believes that blacks are inferior and should not be held to the same standards as everyone else.

"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," Winfrey said. "There’s no question about that, and it’s the kind of thing nobody ever says but everybody’s thinking it."

Actually, Ms. Winfrey, the reason I hold the current president in such abominably low regard is that he has done nothing to earn my respect. In fact, he is politically and ideologically incapable of earning my respect. But that's his fault, not mine.

“There are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism. And they just have to die.”

The only generational racism, “born and bred and marinated in it”, that I see is in the black/urban culture.

[Old Yeller]

I disagree with Oprah on the -American part.

[Logical me]

Oprah Winfrey just shut up and crawl back in your hole. Talk about a racist nitwit, you are on the top of the list.

"There are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism. And they just have to die."

Quite possibly one of the most outrageous statements I have ever heard.

[Hardraade]

Fat, black, moronic blubber-blob.

Did I miss anything relevant?

Oh yes: Parasitic.

[TexasCajun]

Queen of Talk Race-Baiters!

Please don't sue me for plagiarism ...

I also don’t respect Oprah because she is a fat-ass overeater with too much money and absolutely no intelligence at all since she supported that half-white, Kenyan Muslim who hates this country.

Oprah is a grossly overpaid lip-flapper. Obama is disrespected because he’s an arrogant liar who’s trying to destroy this country and turn it into a one-party socialist despotism.

Play that race card! Play it often and play it hard. Play it when you don’t get your way and play it when you are getting your way.

[Gaffer]

Clear, concise, correct.
