Oprah Winfrey has said racism is still a problem around the world and the only way for it to end is for generations of racists to die out. In an interview with the BBC to coincide with the release of her latest film The Butler, the chat show host said generations had been ´marinated´ in racism. The 59-year-old added that President Obama was treated with disrespect because of the color of his skin and said she feels fortunate to have been born after segregation ended in the U.S. [Snip] She highlighted an incident in 2009 when Republican congressman Joe Wilson

“Who, interestingly, were not” is one way—but you can leave the commas out if you have two of them in this kind of construction. I have no excuse for all the other errors. I changed cracks to “cracka” three times, and the machine keeps editing me.

Ah, not so fast Oprah. You and your ilk are making a whole new breed of racists out of people who never had a racist thought, previously, in their lives.

'As long as people can be judged by the color of their skin, problem’s not solved,' she said.

Glad to see she's against affirmative action.

Use it and pass it around. I wish I knew Oprah’s email address so I would send it to her. She was good in her day but now, lately .....

Dope-rah was never “good”. Why doesn’t she “die out” to begin the process of eliminating racists. What a punk. What a talent-less loser. That she is rich mainly speaks to the gullibility of TV watchers.

Don’t use twitter or instagram - I bet she gets a lot of stuff and I think she’d blow it off anyway.

Well - thinking of some of the stuff. I actually never watched her show, just read news stories about it.

The Knockout Game leagues appear to becoming a preferred means of ridding the Nation of white old people

Use the doctrine of vicarious liability to hold the cheer leading squad just as responsible as the Game's squad of thugs. Some cheer leaders have really deep pockets. Sue them.

If every black person became white tomorrow - and every white person became black - in a year people would not want to live in white neighborhoods.

It's NOT the color of the skin - it's how groups act.

If Oprah doesn't know this she needs to move into a black neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago where gang bangers rule and black parents fear for the lives of their children walking to school... and I don't mean to move in to some sky box apartment - but on street level... with no more security than the average black family has...

The phrase “taking responsibility” was very common a few years ago. It was something to live up to. What I see going on here with 0bama, Oprah and other black leaders is they never take responsibility. They always shift blame to white people or Republicans.

They don't have to take responsibility for anything because "Racism" is a perverse, collectivist version of Original Sin. All whites are guilty at birth, and all minorities innocent. Nothing is ever the minority's fault; and in any event, reparations are due them for sins past.

Oprah might be a billionaire; in fact, she is a billionaire - and one with millions of Caucasian admirers - and yet somehow, in some way she believes that Whitey still is oppressing her.

Instinctively, I think that people of intelligence, decency, and good will understand what kind of behavior such convoluted thinking creates. But for one reason or another, too many of us cannot seem to bring ourselves to condemn it publicly.
