Oprah Winfrey says 'sorry' over Switzerland racism

[GiaCat]

Story

...Interesting Why do I have the feeling this 'sorry' is at the advice of her lawyers?

It is an interesting coincidence that Oprah experiences racism soon after the Zimmerman trial. I am sure she knows how these snobby upscale stores operate. So if she shows up looking poorly dressed they would assume she is...poor.

How can she make the claim she was badly treated because she is Black? Where is her definitive proof? Did the clerk make any reference to her race? Seems not, because now she is backpedaling. Is she now looking to avoid a lawsuit? Oprah may have just learned something: This is not true in the area of public opinion, but in the legal world if one is to play the Race Card, the proof had better be more than an just an assumption.

If she is sued over this, I will find it a bit amusing.

As you are the reigning gold standard of white trash on this board, I am not surprised in the least.

Blacks are far too shy as a whole about playing the race card. Even the clerk is barely trying to cover it.

I've been treated that way and I'm hardly a fat, black woman.

Life truly does suck as a white guy posing as a woman on the internet.

Boo fucking hoo.

Oprah's problem is she has too much money, not that she's black.

Dammit, beat me to it.

I figure you all will tire out long before I do.

Oprah doesn't actually have problems. However being black is definitely a speed bump for her.

 

[Aquagal]

Sounds familiar.

Her weight is her burden though she pretends to shrug it off. Nothing pisses off a rich person more than being treated like a commoner.

 

[phrodeau]

It's because she's American. There's a lot less racism in the rest of the world, but she knows what it's like in America, so she sees it when it isn't there.

Please Sean...tell us how arguably one of the most popular and successful women on the planet has been oppressed b/c of her skin color...HAHAHAHA fucking moron.

You must not get out much.

Actually, being black was one of her main assets in becoming rich and famous. If she had been white, she probably would not have done so.

 

[IndieSnob]

And in steps Lit's token pedo, who is also racist to complete the circle.

The fucking stupid is just amazing around here.

Which is plausible. Doesn't stop this orr dozens of incidents like it from happening. Like I said, the woman doesn't have problems. She has occasional speed bumps.

Shall we start listing people who got shit for their race but likely wouldn't be where they are without it?

You seem angry. Anything I can do to help?

 

[IndieSnob]

Why in the world would I be angry? I love laughing at the likes of pedos and men who get off on acting like a woman online.

Now go run along you little rascal! *tussles your hair*

such a bitter little kiddie diddler you are!

 

[Ramone45]

She was probably pissed because the clerk didn't recognize the Oprah.

What the hell are you talking about? Racism is so bad in many other countries they make the southern US look like a beacon of tolerance. Switzerland is known for their racism as are other European countries.

LWCJ GB response...

American lefty's envision the EU as all that is perfect....have they told you about UHC and how it makes the European individual inherently superior to an american yet?

Why in the world did you insert an apostrophe there...

...I mean, being the self-proclaimed poster child of the most well informed generation in history and all?
