Well I guess when her “prez” didn’t fulfill his promises of hope and change all she has left is the race card.
Figures . . .
“There is a level of disrespect for the office that occurs,” Winfrey said Friday in an interview with the BBC. “And that occurs in some cases and maybe even in many cases because he’s African American.”
Deflect, deflect, deflect. That’s right O, every president up till now has been white and all have been disrespected in some way or another while in office. But hey your guy gets “dissed” and its racist. She also refuses to acknowledge the fact that Obama’s mother is white thus making him multi-racial, but hey who’s keeping score . . . oh that’s right she is.
“It would be foolish to not recognize that we have evolved in that we’re not still facing the same kind of terrorism against black people en masse as was displayed with the Scottsboro boys. It’s gotten better,” she said. "…
Yeah about that O, why don’t you get with your boy Holder and brush up on DOJ crime data by demographics. I would like to hear you explain away the numbers of black on white crime (especially sexual assaults against white women in this country) as you throw out your worn out race card.
REVERSE discrimination created all the affirmative action programs, that allowed him to slide through school and life, and push him into a job for which he was neither equipped nor prepared to do.
Holding my breath now, waiting for reparations to be paid to EVERY American citizen from, duh Reve’ rhunds Jackson & Sharpton… :bad:
There are generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism and they just have to die.
Oprah Winfrey 2013
I think Oprah just said she wants me dead. I was born during that time. I rode public transportation where blacks sat in the back of the bus. I heard of local KKK activity. I saw “whites only” signs. I didn’t realize I was a racist though and now I guess she won’t be happy until I’m dead.
I seem to recall… it’s been a really long time ago… but I recall a very rich woman losing her entire family fortune for saying something far less stupid… oh, no, wait a minute… that was Paula Deen this year. No, there is no double standard. Holy Cow… can you imagine a white person saying they want an entire generation of white people across the entire world… she made it perfectly clear she meant the entire world, and entire worldwide generation of whites to die… her body language was even more telling than her words.
I never in my life understood what people saw in that woman. I wonder how the media will reward her for this?
Instead of lashing out at Obama not living up to the hype they have to lash out at us for his failure as President. They’re acting like human shields against any criticism that is directed his way.
And Bush got FAR WORSE treatment in the press and social media than Obama ever will. Most of the media carries Obama’s water on a daily basis and have spun every scandal he’s been in away from him. When it came to Bush, they spun things to blame him (Katrina), and never let an opportunity for legitimate criticism go to waste.
Just from what the OP posted: “And that occurs in some cases and maybe even in many cases because he’s African American.”
Emphasis, of course, mine.
Sounds like what she’s saying is that some of the disrespect directed toward the president is racially motivated. Not all. Not even most. Some. And from what I have seen and heard - first hand, in real life - that’s true. Although it’s also possible that some of what I have seen isn’t racially motivated, Obama’s race is simply seen as a target of opportunity, it still sounds racist. I’m sure I would probably hear the same sorts of racially-motivated comments used to disrespect the 43 white presidents we’ve had prior to Obama, if I lived in a minority community.
I’m glad that I’m not the only one who picked up on this. O is a billionaire elitist who also happens to be a black racist and is openly in favor of genocide.
If you notice over the years her audience has always been comprised mostly of white middle aged women who are afflicted with white guilt. These are the mini-van driving tards who voted Bill Clinton in twice, voted Obama in twice, and who will vote Hillary in come '16 and these are the same cackling hens who want to take away our 2nd Amendment rights.
Help me understand this. One of the richest women in the world, who is black, is claiming “Terrorism against black people”? WTF?
This seems like a page right out of the liberal playbook: “When in doubt, make accusations of racism. It will repel your opponents like kryptonite does superman.”
When I was teaching, I “woke up” a minority kid sleeping in my class, and he told me that I was a racist for waking him up. My reply was that a racist would have let him continue to sleep.
Some advice: if accused of being racist, avoid trying to explain why you are not, because doing so puts you on the defensive. You’ll find yourself in the situation that Lyndon Johnson maneuvered his political opponent in when he accused him of having sex with a dog. LBJ already knew that nobody would believe this slander. He just wanted to hear the man say publicly “it is not true that I had sex with a dog”. Some safe(and disarming)comments are:
Can you give me an example of why you think that?
I regret that you have this opinion.
Don’t argue or discuss further because you can’t win.
Lets be clear: Obama is the poster child for the failure of Affirmative Action: He was given preferential treatment, status and forgiveness solely because of his (proclaimed at the moments when he used it) race, when he was under qualified and under educated compared to others.
Thus…when the liberals realize he really is a turd they can’t admit they were wrong. Instead they apply the Alinksy rules IE counterattack, ridicule, accuse us of what they are doing, accuse us of racisms, ect.
I remember when I was in high school, we had to read this weird story called The Youngest Doll. If you haven’t read it, in the story a woman is bitten on the leg by a shrimp. She has a doctor come to treat her but he uses all these methods which do absolutely nothing until the damage is irreparable and causes her to be crippled and require constant care. Years later, he brings his son, now also a doctor, to see his longtime patient. The son looks at the wound and comments that the bite could have easily been cured years ago. His father says he knows that, and he just wanted his son to see what has paid for his education for the past 20 years (there’s more to the story, but that’s the end of the relevance to the point I’m making).
The racism of the past, in my opinion, is like a disease that has pretty much been cured, all things considered. Blacks aren’t getting lynched, they get paid the same as every other person, they use the same bathrooms, there is absolutely no separate codes or institutionalized segregation that legally exists in the United States anymore. There are still racists and nothing will change that; there are those who will refuse to associate with people of different races beyond what they are legally required to do, there are those who will refuse to allow their children to date people of different races, those who will find any excuse to not hire someone from a race they don’t like…it’s there, but it’s individual cases, and not a nationwide epidemic. I’ve lived in enough places, known enough people, and have enough life experience to make such a statement. It’s just the way things are. There’s racists in every color. A white person can just as easily find himself discriminated against by someone of a different race who hates whites.
However, to keep minorities voting a certain way, the politicians, mainly the Democrats, are claiming the disease is not anywhere near cured. There’s still an institutionalized racism and that all the whites are against the blacks (and Hispanics, Arabs, so forth and so on…). No progress has been made since the Civil Rights Movement and the white nation’s opinions and views on race are the same as they were circa 1950. The only thing, they tell these voters, that is protecting them from the virulent deadly racism of the white majority…is them: The liberal politicians and activists. They are the only protection minorities have and if they fall out of power, we are going to turn the clocks back to about 1850. They know there isn’t any racism about 95% of the time they claim it, but they need to keep claiming there is because treating this disease is what’s keeping them in power.
Isn’t this the worn out community organizer strategy? Make millions telling people they do not have to perform, they deserve as much as whitey and by the way, they reason you can’t do anything worthwhile is because whitey won’t let you. Now let’s go protest for some free shit from whitey! Ka-ching!
Oprah, maybe The Petulant Pretender is a failure because he can’t think one sentence on his own and has to read what Axelrod types on the teleprompter.
BTW, criticizing the Dear Empty Suit is not “disrespecting” the office of the president. It is pointing out the ineptness and wrong thinking of the man child. Please gi back to entertaining middle age white women and shut your political pie hole.
It’s amazing really that people are so blind. Here we have a black man as president, a black man as attorney general, and many others who are CEOs of major companies, mayors, governors, sheriffs, police chiefs, and Oprah, a black woman who is a billionaire, claims that, because of the horrible racism in this country, black people are oppressed and unable to succeed.
I think Oprah’s problem is that she looks for racism everywhere. Any awkward handshake she has with a random person, any weird look she gets, anytime someone doesn’t recognize her, any time her credit card didn’t read the first time the supermarket clerk swiped and had to swipe it again, she assumes racism must be the reason. If all you look for is one thing, it’s all you’re going to find. If I hate people and let little things irritate me, I’m going to assume that everyone I meet is a jerk, has it in for me, and treat everyone with contempt. In return, no one is going to like me. If everyone I meet I try to see the good in, or at worse am neutral about, and I overlook people’s quirks, I’m more likely to find people I like.
