It’s almost sad to see the decline of Oprah Winfrey. Almost. Winfrey is not content to luxuriate in the billions of dollars racist white America has given her. She feels compelled to come to the aid of the inept and dishonest Barack Obama, trashing whites who are critical of Obama as racists. But that’s not enough.
She wants them to die.
Oprah, promoting a movie, tells the BBC:
“There’s a level of disrespect for the office that occurs. And that occurs in some cases and maybe even many cases because he’s African American. There’s no question about that and it’s the kind of thing nobody ever says but everybody’s thinking it.”
There’s no question about it. Everybody’s thinking about it. It’s not that he’s a liar. It’s not that he’s incompetent. It’s only because he’s black.
And the solution for this endemic racism is white people need to die.
GOMPERTZ: Are you saying problem solved?
WINFREY: I’m saying problem not solved. I’m saying that, you know, that’s the beauty of a film like “The Butler,” and it’s the beauty of a film like “12 Years a Slave,” and it’s the beauty of what we’re seeing on stage with “Scottsboro Boys” is that it allows people to see where the root of the problem started. It allows people to see, “Oh, that’s where it all started, this is how far we’ve come, and now this is how much farther we need to go.” Of course problem is not solved. You know, as long as people can be judged by the color of their skin, problem’s not solved. As long as there are people who still, there’s a whole generation – I say this, you know, I said this, you know, for apartheid South Africa, I said this for my own, you know, community in the south – there are still 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.
Noel Sheppard points out the obvious:
What Winfrey conveniently ignores is that she endorsed and campaigned for Obama BECAUSE he was an African-American. He wouldn’t have gotten her support or been elected if he wasn’t.
As we have noted previously, Oprah herself has a brush with racism with each new movie release.
Victor Davis Hanson notes Oprah’s short memory, hypocrisy and moral decline:
I don’t recall Oprah objecting when Bush was routinely shouted down. Did she deplore Al Gore calling the Bush team “digital brownshirts”? Or maybe John Glenn invoking the Nazis (“It’s the old Hitler business”) to talk about her president? Nor do I remember her weighing in on Linda Ronstadt’s claim that the Bush administration was “a new bunch of Hitlers.” Harry Belafonte and Julian Bond both routinely labeled their conservative opponents as little more than Nazis or KKK racists. Nor did Oprah note that “there’s a level of disrespect for the office that occurs” when Barbra Streisand compared Bush to Hermann Goering. Was she worried when Alfred A. Knopf published a novel about musing how to kill Bush? Or by a prize-winning docudrama film imagining the killing of Bush? What was her reaction a New York play, “I’m Gonna Kill the President,” was produced? Did Oprah once give a similar BBC interview about the office of the president and disrespect shown it in 2004 when a guest columnist in the Guardian, Charles Brooker, wrote: “On November 2, the entire civilised world will be praying, praying Bush loses. And Sod’s law dictates he’ll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr. — where are you now that we need you?”
What might explain her outrage now about criticism shown Obama, but silence just recently when abject hatred and dreams of violence were voiced against her president? That answer may explain a lot about what Oprah has become.
Oprah wants white people to die. There’s no question about that and it’s the kind of thing nobody ever says but everybody’s thinking it
If Oprah really wants to see what disrespect for a President looks like, she can go here.
And that’s just for starters.

@Redteam, #250:
Yep. It’s that 2 percent or so that makes us human. Two percent of around 24,000 genes doesn’t sound like much, but there’s probably a lot more going on than just those relatively small numbers. Consider how many alternate combinations there can be. And individual genes can apparently be turned on or off.
BTW, chimpanzees aren’t monkeys.
@Redteam: #240 you said “FDR led by his fellow communists”
You don’t bother to read my 226 and 236. You only read the posts you want? Strange. You sure you got a degree after the Navy?
You give false info on JBS then make a laughable excuse.
You’re having a bad day Mac.
@Richard Wheeler:
name calling again? Still blaming that on the Corps?
I’m sure I read them the first time. Just get tired of your bashing the Navy and Marine Corps and didn’t want to go back an re-read more of it.
Is there a point to that quote?
@Redteam: Damn Mac read again your FDR accusal in #240.Is there a point? You made it. You tell us what you meant .
Mac You’re the only one disparaging The Corps by falsely accusing one of it’s Officers of being”a fellow traveler” Shame on you. From a Navy man no less.

@Richard Wheeler:I know this is a waste of time and you can not claim an upgrade to your toilet paper diploma even if you learn it all, but what did my sentence mean?
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fellow?s=t
So take my sentence: “FDR led by his fellow communists”
So from dictionary.com, there are 8 different meanings of the word ‘fellow’. For my sentence to mean that FDR was a communist himself, you would have to assume definition no. 13, but EVEN if you use that one, it can still only mean that you have to be selective in how it is stated to make it equivalent.
None of the other 7 definitions can be interpreted as meaning what you claim. I’d say the numbers are on my side. So your narrow-minded definiton can only mean what you think if your mind is in that gutter already. Now sh*tcan your toilet paper and get an education. I realize you will struggle with this.
@Richard Wheeler:
yeah I notice you are shying away from any details today, no apologies for criticizing the Navy and Corps.

THAT IS INTERESTING,
maybe we should go back to Skookum POST, THE LAST NEANDERTHAL,
WHICH HAS FACINATED ME,
WE WENT TO THE MOON,
WE CAN GET CLOSER THAN THAT WHAT IS AVAILABLE IN THE SEARCH FOR OUR CONNECTIONS TO THE FARTHEST HUMAN OR HUMANIZE CREATURE, TO BECOME HUMAN IN A FUTURE X GENERATION, MORE PRECISE SO TO TELL US HOW MUCH BESTIALTY WE CONTAIN IN OUR GENES,
SOME WOULD PUT THEMSELVES IN PRISON BEFORE THEY BRING OUT THAT TRAIT OF BESTIALITY,
WHAT AN ADVANCE FOR THE SOCIETY OF TODAY,
IT WOULD HAVE TO BE UNROLLED BY SLICES EACH GOING BACK DOWN TO TODAY, UP TO THE ONE UNIQUE HUMAN LAST FROM THE LAST SLICE,

YOU MIGHT BE ON TO SOME REVELATION ABOUT Richard Wheeler,
a communist who fell on his head as a baby,
OR a baby falling on his head to become a communist
OR HE BECAME A COMMUNIST BECAUSE HE FELLED ON HIS HEAD AS A BABY,
@ilovebeeswarzone: LOL, but I’m not quite ready to call RW a communist, though he might interpret it that way with his limited knowledge of the word. I would put him in the category of secular progressive, which is the path directed by well known communists such as Mao and Stalin. I hope he doesn’t take offense at that because if it does, it means that he is not a true believer in what he espouses, he is only giving it lip service. Is he for the downfall of the republic as we know it, absolutely, if he actually means what he says. He is certainly free (for now) to believe what he wants. If he gets that, he then likely wouldn’t have the freedom to believe what he wants.
@Richard Wheeler:
That is a big “D” Democrat. Do you think one cannot belong to the Democrat Party and also be a communist?
So one must call themselves a particular name in order for you to decide they are what they say they are? How’s that working out for you with the man who claims to have the most transparent administration in our nation’s history?
No knowledge of Alger Hiss? No knowledge of Henry Dexter White? No knowledge of Rex (The Red) Tugwell?
And why would they serve “openly” when the purpose was infiltration? Forget to put on your thinking cap today, eh?
History is not your forte, it would seem.
@retire05:
An ivy league product with a toilet paper degree.
@DrJohn:
No, not quite. You have a really bad habit of misrepresenting what other people say to make your point. So I’ll ask you again, why should anyone believe what you write when you don’t feel constrained by any sort of ethics?
I’m not familiar with the film, but i am familiar with the concept of dramatic licence. This question is very emblematic of your simplistic, facile approach to the entire subject. Does your side get some sort of points toward victory if Oprah falsely portrayed Reagan in a film no one saw? Does it have real world relevance? Are you being harmed somehow by Reagan’s portrayal?
While you’re whining about Oprah, have you ever stopped to consider that 5 times as many Whites are using drugs as African Americans, yet African Americans are sent to prison for drug offenses at 10 times the rate of Whites? That a million blacks are locked up, most for non-violent drug sentences? How much sleep do you think people directly affected by mass incarceration and its disproportionate impact upon minorities are going to lose on your behalf, hearing how upset an interview with Oprah made you?
@Tom:
are you talking people that are actually from Africa?
Tom
it”s easy to coclude that there is more drugg consomption by black people,
so of course they eventualy get caught for consuming or selling it,
there is also whites in prison for it, but less THAN THE OTHER,
@Aqua:
Any accusation of racism stands or falls on its own merits, just like any false accusation. I’m not interested in backing ‘my side’ or ‘winning’ to prove a point. I’m interested in the truth. I have little doubt that it emanates from all sides and all types. But let’s be real. Does no one see the irony of the Dr John brand of fighting the so-called ‘race pimps”? So, if I understand this, a bunch of black race pimps try to rile up the black masses, those who don’t know any better, to focus their frustrations and anger at their lots in life onto a cartoon whitey. So how is trying to rile up the white masses, those who don’t know better, to focus their frustrations and anger at their lots in life onto a cartoon blackey any different?
The real problem though, the one I alluded to in my last post, is that there are still problems of race in this country (whether they are caused by overt racism or are structural in nature is another story), so a campaign to silence people who raise issues of race – and to label them racists – is actually quite destructive. Telling people there is no racism, and that they should indiscriminately label anyone who brings up racism as being racists is hardly honest or helpful. But this is what you see here all the time, just a catalog of grievances that have no actual weight of injury.
@Redteam:
No, I would call people from Africa Africans. Oh, I’m sorry, where you trying to be clever? Sorry, I’m not up to speed on mid-20th century lowbrow humor.
@Aqua:
Perhaps a solid majority. but I’ve seen too much here and elsewhere to think there isn’t more to it than “philosophical differences” for an uncomfortably large number of people in this country. I’m not saying that means its all about race, but it’s also not just about philosophy. Obama is not considered an American, literally or figuratively, by a huge number of conservatives. He is not “who he says he is” literally to a full third of conservative Republicans who believe he is Muslim as recently as 2010. People say nasty things about politicians they don’t like. They said them about Bush, Clinton, Bush Sr, Reagan, etc. etc. They’ve all been called idiots, but have they all been accused, on a daily basis, of hating America and wanting to see it burn? There simply is no precedent, in my lifetime at least, for the animus to be so focused on things other than the political philosophy, personal things, as it is with Obama. People hated this guy from the start, and now that he’s governed long enough to wrack up policy reasons to fill in those blanks, that shouldn’t make us forget that the feeling hasn’t changed, just the alleged reasons for it now sound reasonable. Even I can understand that for a conservative finding fault with Obama over the ACA appears more principled and less unhinged than finding fault with him over trying to start a race war with the New Black Panthers in his vanguard.
@Tom: Wonder if an American that moves to Africa is an American-African?
Wonder if Tina Turner is an American Swiss?
@Tom:
That statement could well apply to George W. Bush, even more than Obama, who you were referring to. But then, I suspect you were one of the very people that, if we on the other side of the aisle wanted to, could accuse you of hating Bush with all the vitriol that was hurled his way.
I don’t remember progressives, such as yourself, lamenting the disrespect shown Bush 43 as CodePinkos walked with placards of a beheaded Bush, or the many times that he was declared, by your side, an “illegitimate” president who stole the election from Gore, or the left wing chant “Bush lied, people died” that seems to be so popular with your side.
Instead, you can’t seem to understand that there were those of us who knew that Obama was an empty suit from the very beginning. A man with a vague past, propped up by a book William Ayers now claims to have written, molded and formed by David Axelrod into a blank slate on which people could project what they wanted him to be. You can’t seem to understand that his very political philosophy is an antithesis to everything conservatives (traditional liberals) seem to hold dear. Hope and change? Hope for what? Change to what? In the year preceding November, 2008, we asked those questions and were labeled “racist” while the hypnotized left felt it more important to put a black man in the Oval Office, no matter his incompetence. An incompetence that becomes more apparent with each passing day.
No, in your very narrow, and limited, mind, it can only have to do with the color of his skin, in spite of the fact that conservatives support other blacks like Justice Thomas, economists Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell, Congressman Tim Scott and former Congressman Allen West, just to name a few. Racists, as you seem to think so many of us are, don’t support anyone at whom their racism is directed, even if those people share the same political philosophy.
You should remember that it was not a Republican who gave Obama a stamp of approval because Obama was “clean and articulate”, as if that was a rarity among blacks.
retire05
that was well said,
as usual, it’s unbeateble
@retire05: Don’t forget that Obama’s first venture into elected office was on a progressive label, not a dimocrat.
” As long as there are people who still, there’s a whole generation ………………, and they just have to die.”
Really I kinda think her intent might have been taken out of context. I think she was referring to the generation of racist white people, (such as parents of the white baby boomers) and wasn’t saying that she wants them dead, but that once they are gone,(ie. deceased) that racism wouldn’t be as wide spread. I believe she’s either misinformed or out of touch. I see now and have my whole life, that there is more bad race talk from black folks, than white. So, our parents may die off, but the poison isn’t where she’s looking…. until black mothers stop calling their children (the N word) …. racism will abound. It angers their children, and their children take it to the streets. And…here’s a hint for ya…. B.Obama..is NOT “black” …. his mother is white… B.O. is white, that’s the way the law has ALWAYS been. Sorry to break it to ya…. but the USA has STILL never had a black president. LOL Vote Dr. Ben Carson into the white house, ….. THEN we will have a black president. THEN we’ll have a REAL ….. PRESIDENT. That skater in there now, is a hoax from beginning to end.
Everybody is racist. At least a little bit. Even Orpah, who prefers to be called Oprah. (That’s anti-Semite, for ya’.)
However, some of us fight to overcome our natural tendencies to bias. Miriam did not, and was struck with leprosy. Oprah also has not…
I was, as she so ingloriously stated: “born and bred and marinated in it”, however, I was raised in the north. It’s just part of life. She was born and bred and marinated in it, too, obviously, but it takes just a little bit of getting off the couch to overcome our biases.
Really.

@Carol Smith: Zowie, Carol Smith! You said it! 🙂
She doesn’t want the truth. If she did she would tell about the blacks in Africa that sold their own people into slavery.
And how that same thing is still being done over there today. That is where her root cause is, themselves. They brought a curse upon their own heads because of their practice of witchcraft that they still practice, and so does she.
I think she needs to clarify exactly what she meant because of the way she said it. It is possible that she did not intend to be a bigot but if left as is then it makes her out to be a bigot.
Had she said and meant it that racism won’t end until years from now when ALL racists are gone that would have included white, black, brown and everyone who is a racist even though it is statistically impossible and a sign of ignorance so she could have simply come off as an idiot instead of a bigoted idiot. Statistics are clear there have always been bigots and always will be pertaining to a various topic of group of people. If it’s not anti-black it is anti-white, anti-gay, anti-straight, anti-Atheist, anti-Religious etc.. on and on…
Considering, I’ve not read where Oprah has apologized or corrected the statement, I’d have to say at this time she is a bigot but I could really care less since her TV station looks like it will go bankrupt and if it did, she is worth 3 billion, she would be in debt 4 billion then pay off 3 of it and just be in the hole a billion and likely not be paid much of anything to go on TV and few would pay to see a film so she could end up back in TN in a trailer park or something? Can she sing or do pole dancing? I’m sure there are jobs in TN for that sort of thing. Heck, I’m from TN and there used to be those kinds of things and some like them plump and old too. O might end up old and poor.

I think now i understand the sentence who said:
it”s eazier for the rich to pass through the eye of the needle,
than to win the HEAVEN,
yes i believe that it’s worse for a rich person to loose his treasures, and adapt to a new life,
than a regular person on lower assets, to adpt to become wealthy, because he have learn the lower
scale way of living, and has adapt to it, for a time enough to be humble when luck of abundance knock on his door, he is wiser than the rich who forgot his previous poverty,

The actual text goes something like, “It is easier for a camel to pass through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter Heaven.” Many years ago I read a story that said that one city had a wall around it, and the only ways in were through small openings in the wall. The camels had to crawl through on their knees to get in, and the openings were called “needle’s eye”.

just thinking that it”s not OPRAH who yelled OUTRAGE,
for the multiple abortions of BLACK BABIES, ALSO WHITES BABIES,
IT US HERE AT FLOPPING ACES,
being aware they where trying to exterminate the futures roots of AMERICANS,
and we saw they mostly where done on BLACKS PEOPLE,
they also are the parts of the first newest arrived immigrants,
and they have an HISTORY not as bad as they where told,
and there was positives times for them also, but the emphasis was on those who suffer abuses,
so to keep them apart from the other by the elected even now,
we also know the whites where strugling to feed all their people, and had to work as hard, IT WAS NOT AS EASY,
in those times, no one escaped the hard work, so to eat and survived,
their was 0 tolerance for the criminals, they where exterminate on the spot,
bcause the people could not afford the burden they where presenting, it was right, if we compare to the millions in jailed today on the pockets of the people same as the multiple agencies of the government today, employing some millions of people, most not elected, but only to fill the ladder of the government services,
and answer the demands of the UNION’S ELITES
so high now that they loose sight of who is really there to serve the people, or to serve the government
which has gave themselves an easy life, as if they forget who pay for their extravagances, AND GET SERVED LIKE KINGS,
they have their unions to block any incompetant from being expel in all where they hold them,
hell they even protect the perverts union’s employees working with children promoting perversion as an okay habit, that is to keep their members in all public work so to not loose their money they make on each one good or bad , and the IRS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THEIR ASSURE POSITION ,
TO WORK FOR THE SOCIALIST COMMUNIST MARXIST UNION IN CHARGE OF GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS,
THEY CONTROL EVEN SOME ELECTED BEING GREASE AS IF THEY ARE NO MORE AN ELECTED HUMAN TO SERVE, BUT A PROSTITUTE OF THEIR POSITION THEY SWORE TO HOLD ALLEGIANCE TO,
BUT THEY HAVE BECOME A MISERABLE TRAITOR TO THE PEOPLE THEY ONLY CARE WHEN ELECTION TIME COME TO CALL,
THOSE WHO ARE GOOD PEOPLE ELECTED ARE WORKING TWICE TO HAVE THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE PROTECTED, WHILE THE ABUSE IS GETTING MORE OBVIOUS, AND THE BLOCKS PUT ON THEM,
ARE PREVENTING THEM TO GO ALL THE WAY,
THOSE ARE OVER WORKED, THE REST COULD BE ALL FIRED AND YOU WOULD NOT MISS ANYTHING,
THAT IS NO MORE ACCEPTABLE, THE PEOPLE DO NOT GET ANY RETURNED ON THE PACKAGES THEY PAY FOR,
ALL THOSE OPRAH CAN NO MORE CONVINCE THE CITIZENS
THAT ALL IS OKAY, BECAUSE THE BUCKETS ARE OVER FULL,
AND THE SPEECHS HAVE BECOME TOO CHEAP,
FOR SUCH A GRAND NATION OF GOOD CITIZENS,
true white people are aliens to this planet and will be killed off wait for ww3 its cominG’ cant wait to see them get massacred.

@Iranian: #288
Different races have tried to exterminate other races for thousands of years, and have failed. Why do you want to belong to a religion that says you MUST convert people to it, and if you can’t convert them, then you MUST kill them? Also, why do you want to belong to a religion that says if you leave it, you must be killed?
What your religion says is that its members MUST convert or kill EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD, or the rest of the world must kill EVERY MEMBER OF YOUR RELIGION. Is that really the kind of life you want for your family, and your ancestors? I don’t know of ANY other religion that teaches to kill people just because they are not a member of that religion.
@ilovebeeswarzone: Americans stop calling each other names,, and stop fighting amongst themselves. That is what the corporations and the politicians want. Stop the Tribalism stop fighting over religion and guns. These are all lies and obstacles that the politicians and corporations are using to their advantage to enrich themselves. it’s all a about oil and money. Who sheds their blood for this not the rich man’s sons and daughters. Will Trumps’s children go to war. They are keeping the pot boiling we are heading toward another civil war if we are not careful.
Orpah in Mississipi and Condelissa Rice have similar histories growing up in the old south Rice in Alabama said her father and his friends had to protect the town from the KKK with guns at night. I think Oprah didn’t intend to say that they literally need to be killed off, but she said they need to die , meaning they need to die off. Their racsicm is too ingrained.
