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.
Got to keep things stirred up!
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.
That is priceless!
“the Bell Curve”
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 .....
She’s on Twitter, for what that’s worth.
I did put it on FB.
To yourself,they would SURELY say”GET STUFFED”!
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.
Succinct and spot on.
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.

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...
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.
