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.

The protestors and their NOI leadership have made their demands quite clear - kill white police officers.

Haven’t heard Al Sharpton nor Oprah denounce the NOI and call for the arrest of crazy Louis and his minions. Haven’t heard Holder nor Obama denounce him either. Silence is consent. He should be arrested for inciting racial violence.

Oprah Winfrey snubs Al Sharpton...it's about time - the sooner people respected in the black community like Oprah and Obama start ignoring the race hustlers such as Sharpton and consulting with responsible leaders like Tim Scott and Niger Innis, the sooner race hustling will be as archaic as slavery......

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

Which is exactly what Oprah wants them to do. She just wants the spotlight for herself, but is late to the show.

They lack a role or niche, and six years of a black president has only proved that too many of them serve no purpose at all. They loathe each other, never mind what they think of everyone else.
