Oprah Winfrey snubs Al Sharpton, says protesters lack leadership
Washington TImes ^ | January 4, 2015 | Jessica Chasmar

Posted on 01/04/2015 7:18:10 PM PST by MeshugeMikey

In what appeared to be a snub to Al Sharpton, Oprah Winfrey recently argued that demonstrators in New York City and Ferguson lack the same motivation and leadership of the civil rights movement of the 1960s.

“I think it’s wonderful to march and to protest, and it’s wonderful to see all across the country people doing it,” Ms. Winfrey told People magazine while promoting her upcoming movie “Selma” in the magazine’s new issue.



“ What I’m looking for is some kind of leadership to come out of this to say, ‘This is what we want. This is what has to change, and these are the steps that we need to take to make these changes, and this is what we’re willing to do to get it,’” she said.

This is the same Oprah who threw her aunt out of the family home where she was living. She came into the home and said “Negros in the House, Negros in the house” Oprah is just revolting. Oprah herself would NEVER live in a black neighborhood, she lives in Montecito, surrounded with fences and armed guards protecting her racist ass 24/7

“Orka” is just jealous of Sharptongue’s massive weight loss.

He was actually really conservative that guy even though he bashed conservatives in the song “If 6 were 9”. But I think in that song he did it to get on the good side of the left early in his career who pretty much ran the music industry. But other than that, he supported the Vietnam war and even said “communism is the greatest evil today” which is like sacrilege when it comes to the left. He also refused to support the black panthers and other radical groups who kept harping on him for support.

Oprah and most all other blacks have been brain washed by the federal givernment for many decades..

Whats taught in “schools” is none of the federal givernments business.. at least “shouldn’t be”...

ALL federal gov’t influence in school IS PROPAGANDA..
All of it.... every jot or tittle.. of it..

Democrats love propaganda.. Republicrats do too..

By any definition, inciting further riots and senseless animalistic behavior, can never be "leadership."

There are three prolific “leaders” in Ferguson on Twitter.At least two are pissed at Oprah and one is/isn’t in jail. People aren’t quite sure.

Deray
That chick from Amnesty - NETAAAAAA
Bassem_Maseri.

Deray is a piece of work. I wonder if someone is funding him. He has/had a job hiring teachers in Minneapolis area. So who is paying for his upkeep?

I saw on Twitter that this may be his address or at least was his address
http://www.soolinebldgcityapts.com/

But he could have been living with a guy who has money. That apartment complex is expensive.
