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 its wonderful to march and to protest, and its wonderful to see all across the country people doing it, Ms. Winfrey told People magazine while promoting her upcoming movie Selma in the magazines new issue.
What Im 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 were willing to do to get it, she said.

I disagree with Oprah. The protesters are doing exactly what Sharpton and Obama want them to do.

Maybe the, This is what we want, and this is what has to change,” shouldn’t be based on lies the “Protesters” believe.
To: MeshugeMikey
Maybe Oprah thinks they’re not being quite destructive enough.
To: MeshugeMikey
sacrifice, work ethic, dedication, paying a price??? Are we really talking about the black entitlement communities today?????
These things are not compatible with the mentality of the black mobs today. They are more about free sneakers and free booze, and free flat-screen TV's that they can steal and call it a protest.
The only thing they are protesting is paying for what they steal.

So why doesn’t Oprah get her fat ass out there and lead the new “civil rights movement”? Oh yeah, maybe it might cause her to lose all the low-information voters that now buy her horse pucky.

She was a front-row parishioner at black Supremacist TRINITY CHURCH for decades:
You know deep down she WANTS to endorse Sharpton and all the Ferguson filth.
She’s just too political to be honest about her true motives.
