Oprah and Obama Both Racist
Racists in humanitarian clothing! I had heard such an accusation in the past regarding Oprah Winfrey, but I started looking around and a lot of things really started to add up. Last September, TMZ had an article on their site that mentioned how Oprah bragged with her friend, Gayle King, on XM Satellite radio about how she has an almost all white staff, and refered to them as “all these white people.”
Yahoo!: When Oprah opened her school for girls in Africa, she was asked a question that she wasn’t prepared to answer. The question was, “Why don’t I see any white girls?” Her response was with distain on her face was, “Oh, I don’t care about no white girls.” It is obvious that this was not an answer that she really wanted to make, and I have not seen it again but just the live feed and that was it one time.
Yet, in another news clip Oprah declares that she will not rest until every “black boy” and every “black girl” has had a chance to prove their worth. Then there is Senator Barack Hussein Obama.
Fox News: The nation’s only black senator, Barack Obama, D-Ill., asked voters at two black churches and at a Nashville rally to elect Ford, a Democrat who is trying to become the first black senator from the South in more than 100 years.
“I know that all of you are going to work the next couple of days to make sure it happens, because I’m feeling lonely in Washington,”Obama said at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church.”I need my dear friend to join me.”
And it doesn’t stop there for the senator and presidential hopeful. The quote below is taken from Obama’s book, “Dreams of My Father”:
There was something about him that made me wary,” Obama wrote. “A little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.”
It’s known that Obama favors racial preferences for select minorities in both the business world and academia. And from the quotes above, so does Oprah. With this evidence, it could be concluded that Obama, and is main supporter, Oprah, are both racist? If not, maybe it’s just black pride?
Obama’s church, Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ once adopted a Black Value System. Here are their main points as written by a committee:
- Commitment to God
- Commitment to the Black Community
- Commitment to the Black Family
- Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
- Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
- Adherence to the Black Work Ethic
- Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect
- Disavowal of the Pursuit of “Middleclassness”
- Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community
- Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions
- Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System
- Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System.
Would it be acceptable for any Caucasian to subscribe to a church that had ”dedication to the white family” or “strengthening and supporting white institutions?” I don’t think so! In the United States, we believe in innocence until proven guilty, but we also believe in corroborating evidence.
More on Oprah Winfrey:
Transcript from Oprah’s XM Satellite conversation with Gayle:
Gayle King: You could work for some good White folks.
Oprah [in a put-upon Black slang accent, making fun of her grandmother]: I hope you get some good White folks like I did ‘cuz I worked for some good White folks.
Gayle: They’re so nice to me. They give you clothes and food.
Oprah [still in Black slang accent]: They give you clothes and you get food to take home. And they give you good clothes, too, not all worn out. That’s what my grandmother used to say to me. And I now say that I wish she had lived to see that I did grow up to get some good White folks–[yelling:]WORKING FOR ME!
Gayle [also yelling]: WORKING FOR YOU!
Oprah [still yelling]: WORKING FOR ME!
Gayle: Hehehehe! [laughs at "White folks"]
Oprah: All these good White folks.
Gayle: There’s [sic] White people everywhere.
Oprah: ["White folks"] Everywhere–only one Black man in here.
Gayle: ["White folks"] Working. Hehehehe! [laughs again at "White folks"]
Oprah: There’s one ["White folk"] everywhere you look. There’s George [a "White folk" employee of HOprah]. More White folks, thumbing up. Yeah, George is giving the thumbs up
Gayle: “I’m a Good White Folk.”
Oprah: Hehehehe! [Laughing at her "White folks."]

Thank you for putting this up. Believe me I knew they where racist all along.
Comment by masko on 13 December 2007:
It sounds like you are the racist one… not them
Comment by Katherine on 27 February 2008:
I have been boycotting Oprah since the day she came out to endorse Obama.
I used to watch her every single day…for years. No more.
I cannot believe that Oprah would not support a more qualified and experienced woman who is well known to be a champion of civil rights, in order to support a man who is a member of her RACIST church.
Had I known about Oprah’s RACIST, anti-semitic, homophobic, anti-american pastor and his adoration of Farrakhan, I would have abandoned her a long time ago.
BOYCOTT OPRAH!!
Comment by ellen on 14 March 2008:
I have noticed Oprah is geared toward black issues for ever, she is after all black.I find that natural. I used to enjoy the books she recommended but did notice a predominance of black themes,again she is black so natural.But something is now more troubling,the school thing was obvious,there is not one poor white or biracial little girl in all of South Africa who deserves to attend? It was not about women not having access to quality education it was a racial thing. Then next thing that bothered me was this, Oprah has never used her fame and money for any political candidate, until the candidate was a man with some black blood.If she had spoke up during the last election for Kerry we may not have had four more years of death and destruction. She is obviously well aware of her power as she has chosen to use it to get a black man elected but she chose not to when it could have ended a war that has killed thousands many of them black as well.She tell us that she cares dearly about women’s issues but what about the plight of women in Iraq? They are not black but as this war continued four more years they are watched their children die for lack of medical care,food and water how many of them died in the last four years? They live in a male dominated culture in which they are mere chattel.I guess what I’m saying is that you as a black woman have a right to look at skin color as a sole criteria for philanthropy. It is your money.But have your choices changed things? Little black girls and white girls are not learning to live with each other as it is a segregated school.They will most likely choose to stay segregated as adults. If Obama is elected we will always know you helped him not because you didn’t want war and he could stop it but because he was partially black.
Comment by KELLIE DEE on 17 March 2008:
NAUSEA IS THE ONLY WORD I HAVE.. OBAMA SHOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT HE IS IN THE MINORITY AND HE IS A WHITE HATER JUST LIKE OPRAH AND JESSIE JACKSON AND ALL OF THEM ..I CAN’T BLAME THE BLACK PEOPLE BUT.. I DON’T WANT A BLACK PRESIDENT..PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE …
Comment by Cliff on 18 March 2008:
White people, who somehow feel responsibile for what a bunch of Southern plantation owners did to blacks, go out of their way to help black people. All the while blacks are soaking up all this help with the thought that some day they will be in the driver’s seat and then they’ll show us white people what it was like. The United States, for that matter the world, is competitive but stupid white people constantly give to blacks so they can be more competitive. How stupid can white people get? Did you ever get anything from a black person? Nothing but disinformation, bad service, and if you’re stupid enough to be a woman who marrys one of these blacks maybe some real abuse, like only a blackman can hand out. This is real life and they view all white people as the enemy, with their sights on the more powerful. You had better wake up soon they are determined to win it all. Don’t give anybody anything; make them earn it. It is not only OK it is your right to get all you can get and you don’t have to apologize to blacks, or browns, or yellows, or anyone else. My advice, stay away from black people.
Comment by Sharon Kamp on 19 March 2008:
I have believed this for a long time…….Black people can have special breakfast meetings at a school board convention in NY State……….they can have a Negro college………and no one berates them or calls them racist. What is wrong with this picture cause whites sure couldn’t do this without much media coverage!! Where is the equallity?? Quite making out like you are special, hounded, disrespected, or anything else cause of the color of your skin. Stand up and make something of yourself and forget what color you are. Many have done that and I know a lot of black people that are very much JUST human.
Comment by fatcha on 21 March 2008:
I am 65 never had a prejudice bone in my body, now in 2008 all I see is hatred, hatred from black it seems they are taught to hate like taking a page out of the Quran, teach your children to not trust to hate whites,and their sense of fairness is?: ” the white man took from us and he has his” but I “gonna git mines”, they think they are owed, but worst of all after 500 years Black people are at the bottom of the economic ladder, Asians have been here for a few decades they employ blacks, they have evolved as home owners, business owners they HAVE achieved the American Dream while Jeremiah Wright is still having Martian Luther’s Dream every night. Blacks are duped by their new Black Masa’s like Jessie Al, Wright. They breed hostility as a cement to keep them together as a Race.
Universities are teaching Areocentric culture as good that that separation it causes is ok. Cornell West a marked on a curve affirmative action Professor, that gets to spew his racism under the guise of protected speech . Imagine special classes ” Black America” or more importantly Black History” ,ever notice no white will challenge a ” Black Historian” No white man has ever exposed that the reason for the disparagement in the numbers in the % of our population that is why are the numbers of black males 80% in our prisons while their % of black people in the USA is 12%.Its not the “Police” as they used to use for a excuse ,or our courts,. why because the large cities Chicago, New Orleans, Louisiana, and many more are run by Blacks, the Mayors the city Counsel the Police, the Guards. Perhaps whites are secretly planting bomb collars on black males and make them go shoot other Black Brothers?
Are arrests down in Harlem? how about Murders. Rapes? why, one would think that the Black areas crime would be down because it is run by blacks?, again Judges,Police Captians Lieutenents Sargents Councilmen,BUT NO ONE HAS THE BALLS TO BRINGT THESE THINGS UP. WHO IS MARIOIN BERRY AGAIN? Where is he? still in Prisoin ? Oh no now I remember he was voted back into Office as the Mayor, after his stint in Prison,I guess they get what they deserve
Comment by Jack on 21 March 2008:
I beleive in payback for the cruel treatment of Blacks during slavery. I beleive the that the source/s of slavery should be held respobnsible for the pain and terror against blacks during slavery.
The source of slavery began in Africa by Africans and By Arab Muslim conqeurors. So i say Black American: go back to the mother land and to Islam -the religion you so proudly beleive is ‘The blackmans religion’ – LOL! and gits yo pay!
ABD – Arabic word to describe a black person and or a slave/. ABD ABD ABD!!!!
Comment by Joseph on 22 March 2008:
using racist to describe oprah and obama is an understatement both are pieses of SKATOLE,now it’s time to flush them both.
Comment by JOHN on 22 March 2008:
his church that he supports soo much along with the pastor are racist and also discriminatory. based on the the black Value System there is no place for white people. I thought god love all people how they could discriminate and Obama kept going there
Comment by Taylor on 3 April 2008:
Honey you need to take an African-American course, watch Roots, or get a African-American friend cuz you obviously are not exposed to Black ppl. If you were you would understand the struggle of African-Americans. Slavery had societal and psychological consequences that passed down to every generation, and then after slavery, with inequalities within laws governing jobs, housing, and ect led to even larger gaps that African Americans had to hurdle and still do today. African-American were not able to acquire wealth and certain opportunities to better their lives and that gap passes down to generations. Now for you to insinuate Obama and Oprah is racist is ridiculous, there is nothing wrong with Blacks trying to better the lives of other Blacks. If we don’t out for each other history clearly shows that no one else will. And you used that comment about Oprah out of context or you just don’t understand. I’ve listed to Oprah talk about the “white people that work for her,” she uses that mainly as motivation, black ppl constantly work for other ppl especially whites and the aspect of an African American having ppl white or black working for them is monumental especially whites for Oprah because her grandmother told her when she was little “find some good white ppl to work for” and she has used that statement her whole life as motivation to do the opposite.
Comment by real on 4 April 2008:
I am sick and tired of Black saying they are “African American”. If they like and want to associate themselves with Africa so much why dont they just pack thier bags and move there. Try out Africa and see what it is like, then you can bitch and complain about being “oppressed” or what it is like to be a “black person in white america”.
Blacks in Africa sold Blacks in Africa as slaves. But somehow “African Americans” seem to forget about all that.
America wasn’t perfect in the beginning, but we have sure have made lots of progress over our 230 year history.
Quit complaining “African Americans” and grow to hell up!
Comment by Rob on 6 April 2008:
There is no question in my mind that Obama is racist, as is Oprah.
With regard to a black president, I am perfectly happy to have a black president who will not seek to disadvantage every other race in order to create advantages for his own black race.
Colin Powell or Condoleeza Rice would be such an even-handed president. Obama Would not.
If a person walks into any government office in this nation (especially federal government offices), they will find that the overwhelming majority of government employees are black.
If the President is black, it will be incumbent upon him or her to ensure that whites are proportionally represented in government jobs.
If Obama is elected, I believe whites should demand proportional hiring to government jobs, which have been unfairly apportioned in favor of blacks.
Reverse (black vs. white) descrimination is the rule in our federal government jobs.
A fair black president would be welcome. A racist one, such as Obama, would not.
Comment by Rob on 6 April 2008:
If anyone wants to know how our country will fare under an Obama presidency, consider the plight of the children in the old tale of “The Pied Piper of Hamelin.”
Obama is the Pied Piper. He took his piping lessons from Oprah.
The cost to our country will be immeasurable if we let this collectivist, socialist, racist man rule over us.
Look at Mugabe’s Zimbabwe or Chavez’s Venezuela if you want to know where we’re headed.
Comment by kay on 8 April 2008:
I agree with so much that you all have said. I don’t know what’s perpetuating this hate towards white people from blacks. I hope that it can be appeased as more and more black people get educated, but at the same time this education is often at the cost of more deserving students who are not black. I have never been racist and have had many black friends in my life, but attending a state university for 2 years now, had really pushed me towards the other side. So many people I knew from high school who had very good grades, SAT scores, AP classes and were in various magnet programs could not get into my school. At the same time I knew plenty of people who I knew had horrible grades and low scores and are walking around campus, and happen to be black. There are various black only fraternities that are constantly hanging out together on campus, and I have experienced reverse racism too many times from black people who act like they deserve to be at the school more than I do. It’s absolutely ridiculous all the stuff that goes on, and not to even mention the campus bus drivers that they hire that are constantly racist towards white students and will just close the door in your face when you get to the bus stop and drive away (sometimes shrugging his or her shoulders like they don’t know how to open the door). I could go on and on. I am all for the betterment of a race and giving people opportunities, but I think if that should be done it shoudl be done on a personal basis, not if you’re black you’re automatically in. So many hardworking students do not get accepted to schools they deserve to be attending because of this, not to mention that it’s unfair because there are people of all races who are underprivileged.
Comment by A garlic nosed Italian on 9 April 2008:
Did anyone see Obama’s Question and Answer at Petraeus-Crocker Hearing” last evening? (4-8-08)
In the middle of his question while he was studdering, he said “yo”. Nice vocabulary for someone who wants to run for president. Mind you, this is not the first time he said “yo”
Comment by matt on 14 April 2008:
it is time for a black president, just not a liberal socialist racist. A man like mike steele from maryland would be great but you libs won’t like him because he is Republican like Lincoln.
Comment by Joe on 18 April 2008:
Lol some idiot said watch Roots!!! Roots was a work of fiction and Alex Haley was sued and paid a large settlement to a white man whose work of fiction he stole. Google it and see.
Comment by kay on 19 April 2008:
yeah and that same person tried to justify oprah’s racist remarks.
the thing is…it’s not like the reason her grandma or any other person today who is black works underneath someone else (who may or may not be) is because of racism- it’s because they have no other career. There are plenty of black people who have careers and all they have to do is stay in school, it’s pretty much given to them with affirmative action and all.
And if you really think about it, all the different races(asian,indian,jews etc) and groups of white people (like german and eastern europeans)who immigrated to the US have all faced racism, discrimination, and struggles upon coming here, but what have they done? They worked hard and made their kids work hard in schools. One of the reasons it took these people less time to become successful and thus eliminate the discrimination against them, is that they were already civilized and educated in their own countries. The Africans that were brought here as slaves were nowhere near civilized back in Africa, running around naked in the wild and living in mud huts–which is btw what they still do, the ones that weren’t brought here as slaves.
That is not to say that I condone the slavery part, but the slaves were also captured and sold to Americans by their African brothers as someone else mentioned–and the whites that did these horrible things are in ano way related to any of us Americans today, and most of the white people that immigrated to America did so after slavery had ended (so it’s ridiculous to hate today’s white Americans for it).
Black people can somewhat still try to blame white people for the slavery part, but there is no reason at all that they should blame us for the poverty and the kind of jobs they work. One, they are given every opportunity in the world to get out of it, and 2 it’s not our fault and they shouldn’t even be given the ridiculous affirmative actions and such. It’s not like they were all doctors back in Africa and we took it away from them and made them work at McDonald’s here- it’s just ridiculous to me and Oprah’s a total idiot to say such things. The people she was referring to-as the white people working for her- are all people who are like show producers and such (wow that’s totally the same as her uneducated grandmother cleaning someone’s house because she doesn’t know how to do anything else). And just the fact that Oprah is so rich and powerful, is because WHITE people watch her show and buy her stuff, totally showing that white people aren’t even racist and making her black strife remarks and attitude completely pointless. (unless the point is to be racist towards white people who are paying for her lifestyle-so she can go and spend it all only on black people charities and things). ridiculous
haha nobody is going to read all that
Comment by robin on 25 April 2008:
the news media is really tring to cover up the racist thing dealing with obama. He has another friend who is a minister and one of his delagates who has said some very racist things i think his last name is meeks something like that so i will never believe him to be anything but racist.
Comment by Is obama a racist:? Hell Yes she is on 27 April 2008:
Obama is a damn filthy racist black man, the worst thing that could ever attempt to be president. He is liar too, what he doesn’t know id that this country will not allow him to be president, even if all the blacks voted for him 10 percent of the US is not enough to make it to be the president. Period. The pols show 90% of blacks voted for Obama, if thats not racist, i dont know what is. This is horrendous and a perfect example that African Americans are racist, will only vote for a candidate because he is black. Sick Sick Sick. Obama is filth and garbage. We will not stand for a black racist man for president. Ever. To all black americans, do not continue to vote fort this man simply because he is black, if you feel that he is qualified, then vote for him. But take your vote seriously. I say this not because i worry he will be president, but because in good conscious, we must all be true to ourselves in life. If you can do that, then DON’T VOTE.
And to those still in denial about what his pastor/minister said, Jeremiah DID say the racist remarks, i don’t know why you Africans cannot fathom this, or perhaps its that you are holding a grudge against all white people and somehow think that obama will enslave the white man who knows. Please let that damn grudge go, and realize that if it wasn’t because of slavery you would never be here. Thin about that for a minute.
Screw Obama, and his racist books and minister. He is a sick individual.
Comment by Bethany on 4 May 2008:
I have believed that Oprah was racist since her incident a few years ago at Hermes in Paris. She got mad that a retail store would not stay open late for her so she could shop, because the store was having a charity event!, then made the comment that the only reason they refused to stay open for her was because she’s black. Get over yourself Oprah, there are more people that don’t care who you are. I knew at that moment she was a liar and hateful towards other races outside of her own. I don’t trust her or her ways of flashing her cash around, it’s like she’s trying to buy everyone. I also don’t trust Obama, even more after Oprah endorsed him. I think people need to wake up and realize that neither of these people can be trusted and that they have a hidden racist agenda. They have both been caught enough making statements that prove they are racist. I didn’t do anything against anyone or any race that should make them hate me simply because I exist. Neither of these two people were ever enslaved so why is it that they try to act like they were? They are the reason that hate is still being taught. I refuse to be part of any blind herd that follows anyone around, prove who you really are.
Comment by kay on 5 May 2008:
i just wish more people thought like you, or at least had the guts to say it in real life. And i’m sick of politically correct, sick of affirmative action, sick of any kind of preferrential treatment based on race. Most of all I am sick of that whenever they don’t like something or deem it racist, white people let them do whatever they want and get as violent as they want. If it wasn’t a fact that 2 of those 3 officers that shot at the black guy after his wedding in NY were blac themselves, there would have been at least buildings burnt down. They still had the nerve to say that it was racist and had all the protests, when most of the people that shot at him were black.
And I’m sick of the whole slavery bullshit. The more recent white people of America are the ones who GAVE BLACK PEOPLE FREEDOM AND RIGHTS, and too much of it, it’s white people’s fault this is happening. they don’t deserve anything else, and they should not get to have the president too.
sometimes I think that maybe it’ll be for the better if there is a black president because then they won’t have the need to whine about racism and demand things anymore, but I’m almost positive that things would just get worse, after seeing how they screamed white racism when 2 blacks and 1 white shot a black man.
Comment by nick on 13 May 2008:
lmao….Ya know if we even let this obama bin laden in as president the cia will take him out just like they did kennedy….But we really need to look outside the box people…Higher taxes, higher fuel cost, higher food prices, higher unemployment, people losing their homes and lives, illegal mexicans taking jobs that we now need to survive, high medical cost and insurance…We need to get off our asses and fight to get our country back..Stop the border crossings, Abolish the IRS (the are the biggest thieves and crooks), boycott the big oil producers everyone just shut down for a week and see what happens,stop giving everything to other countries just because of disaster (we still have people homeless from katrina) Get the REAL truth about 9-11 cause its all a bunch of BULLSH*T…do you honestly think a plane can bring down the twin towers so perfect wake up not true..stop letting these gangs run the street with their drugs and killings arm the cops with real fire power not pop guns…go after the companys that hire illegals and put them on the unemployment line, get rid of the ACLU they do nothing but protect the criminals…and finaly give justice to the victims of crimes…stop making the victims look like criminals and the criminals look like victims….just my take folk just my take…..

Comment by Tiffany on 5 June 2008:
I think the key words here are hatred and racism. Not black racism or white racism, but human racism. I’ve read most of these posts and it seems to me that most of you are trying to express your frustrations about racism, with racism, which is completely counterproductive.
“And I’m sick of the whole slavery bullshit…they should not get to have the president too.”- quote from Kay
Its this kind of racism that sets this country back. The THEY you are refering to are humans that deserve all the same rights that you have. THEY all don’t scream racism if they don’t agree with something. Just because THEY share the same skin color doesn’t mean that THEY all have the same values, thoughts and beliefs. If you knew anything about American history, you would know that nothing was handed to them. THEY had to fight for the basic rights that THEY have now because of people like you. And its obvious from your comments that you consider those basic rights too much.
I think that most of you have a problem because you consider blacks a threat. A threat to what, I can’t possibly think of. Are you afraid that it’s pay back time?
Racism is very much alive on both sides of the fence and it’s like a vacuum. I see many of you have been sucked in by this vaccum and don’t even realize it. I have read very few comments that did not echo racism, and you wonder why some blacks are bitter.
And to the person that thinks slavery was good for blacks because they now have the privilege of being US citizens, You are a sick individual.
I think you should imagine yourself in another persons shoes before you form an opinion about them. Please wake up people.
Comment by Phil on 6 June 2008:
People, you must wake up. Obama is PRO-Black and PRO-Jew. Other than those two ‘races’, he has no love for any others. Whites, Arabs and Asians are in trouble in a big way if Obama gets in. On the flip-side, what are you going to do? Vote for McCain? I LOATHE to say he is the better choice…the truth is, the ONLY choice would be for people to get behind RON PAUL and then make him President. Did you notice as soon as Clinton stepped down, Obama basically groveled at the feet of AIPAC? Either one, McCain or Obama are going to keep the wars rolling. Both are going to further destroy the economy. But at least McCain isn’t anti-white; though, like Obama, he will gladly slaughter countless whites in order to appease Israel. If you want to see whites further discriminated against, further forced into shame for things they never did; then vote for Obama, thats what you’ll get.
RON PAUL====America’s only human hope.
Comment by Tre on 21 June 2008:
You guys are so stupid. Why the hell would Obama be a racist if his own fuckin mother is white. THINK STUPID!!!!!. As well as his grandparents too. you guys are just scared of change. And america needs change.
Comment by Tre on 21 June 2008:
Secondly you guys are the racist. You’re also stereotypical. Even if he is muslim, that doesnt mean hes gonna blow up the country. FOR THOSE WHO LACK COMMON SENSE, ALL MUSLIMS ARE NOT TERRORIST IDIOTS!!!. MY FRIEND IS A MUSLIM AND DOES NO SUCH THINGS AND WOULD BE HIGHLY OFFENDED IF YOU CAME IN HIS FACE THINKING DIFFERENT. IdiotS!!!. And did you stop to think why his name might be Obama. I dont know, maybe cause his father is from fucking Africa you idiot. Whats his name supposed to be Tom Smith. Think!!!! Its a middle eastern name. His father is from there, and thats what he named his son, give it a rest.
Comment by Sharon on 8 July 2008:
FIRST OF ALL HOW COULD OBAMA BE RACIST WHEN HE’S HALF WHITE? SECONDLY, SHE IS AND WILL REMAIN THE RICHEST WOMAN (BLK OR WHT) IN THE WORLD. WHETHER ANYONE WATCHES HER SHOW OR NOT. PLUS, he audience is 80% white and she gives to her audience all the time and 1,000’s of ppl of all COLORS. SOME ARE JUST IGNORANT. Check out black in american on CNN July 22nd at 9pm to get informed!
Comment by Jim on 26 July 2008:
Great article……..as most educational institutes force down our throats…. Only WHITES can be racist and WHITES males are especially responsible for ALL black folks problems…..period.
Blacks are among the most racist ethnicity in the entire world……even among themselves. Sadly, we have WHITES (guilt ridden ones at that) that believe they are responsible for slavery, so they cut their throat to spite their hand. Then you have the DUMBOCRATS that would eat their own children to get a vote….giving the “poor” black folks anything they need, feeding / enabling African’s ever further.
Obama, Oprah, and 90% of the LEFT leaning African’s are all the same. RACIST!
Comment by jessica on 8 August 2008:
I dont get it, doesnt Obama realize that he has a WHITE mom. He isnt even 100% black.

HELLO TO EARTH! HIS MOM IS WHITE! AND HE HAS A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH HER! HIS FATHER WAS A BLACK KENYAN WHO LEFT HIS MOTHER, when Barack was 2 years old! use your brains. how can he be racist? he hates his own??? people, stop watching fox and learn the fact that he is bi racial, hello, welcome to earth. WOULD IT MAKE SENSE TO HATE WHITES IF HIS MOM IS WHITE>>>????
Comment by Jack on 29 August 2008:
From Obama himself in his book, Dreams of my Father
“I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.”
“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”
Comment by stop watching opra on 5 September 2008:
i never liked oprah and now i know why. i have always believed she was a rascist and have had many black friends (by the way they hate to be called african american) who can’t stand the woman. her not wanting palin on there is prime example of her racism. sure it is her show, but it shows her true feelings. doesn’t she realize that her taxes and everyone elses will increase 30-35% if this man gets in….
sometimes i wonder how someone that stupid can get as far as she has. i will never watch her and feel sorry for anyone that does. hell i would have more respect for them if they watched some lame ass soap opera. yes, more black folks are racist that whites. slavery was wrong, but the jews have been persecuted for over 2,000 years and you don’t hear them whining like they do.
after watching the RNC i am almost positive that obama the puppet will not win. his wife bothers me more. if you want to talk about mean you should look at her face a little more closely. talk about angry and out to get revenge!
Comment by Amerian0ne on 5 September 2008:
Oprah, Obama, Al Sharpton and Jessy Jackson make blacks look totally ignorant of their own history. Great people like Martin Luther King should never be associated with this type of trash.
Comment by Amerian0ne on 5 September 2008:
The Truly funny thing is that Oprah,Obama,Al Sharpton and Jessy Jackson, along with Rev. Wright and the Trinity Church like to associate themself with “African Americans” when infact they are not African Americans…They are American Blacks! They portray themselves as black activists and Leaders…….fighting for the equal rights of all blacks………but this is far from the truth……..They don’t fight for the good of blacks……..They fight for the spotlight.
Comment by Shyam on 6 September 2008:
Oprah is pushing a strictly anti-American Black agenda under the vail of civility. We must defeat her.
The way to do it is not by calling her racist but by using the voting machine and crushing Obama and showing them that we don’t want smooth-talking incompetents looking for a short-cut in position of responsibilities like Obama.
Vote for McCain and Palin and defeat Obama.
That is going to be the right revenge.
Comment by Paladin on 10 September 2008:
The fact is Obama and Oprah are racists and so are most democrats. Its not just whites they hate they simply do not respect women.
Comment by Britt on 11 September 2008:
Oprah is a HUGE discriminator. Inside she has a big hate towards white people. Obama is the same. It is scary to have those powerful people in charge of America – they will do anything for their own bennifits and race… that is not normal.
Once Oprah talked with the lawyer of OJ Simpson (who is also black) and she said stated… didn’t you feel inside some kind of revenge feeling after what all white people did to us… like payback (something like that). The lawyer man looked kind of weird at her and said… no, if you see how the victims of OJ Simpson were butchered, nobody would ever wish that to any one. In that interview she just spoke her heart and mind. Thank God the lawyer man had some brains and put her in place.

Comment by OBAMA on 11 September 2008:
I’m going to turn this democracy into a socialistic society. I plan on taxing the rich and the middle class and giving it to the lower class… then a few will be filthy rich and everyone else will be lower class. You will bow down to Barack Hussein Obama!
Comment by Mamma on 12 September 2008:
Turn off Oprah/Tune out Obama
Well, after watching Rev. White, all of this is more than a little concerning. I for one, don’t believe for a second when Obama says that he didn’t know Wright wasn’t anti-white. The guy went to Harvard, but apparently is mentally slow. He apparently wants us to believe he has a speech/thought disorder, when he used the words “pigs with lipstick” the other day as well. I think this is an indication that he thinks Americans are dumb. It seems Oprah went to this church for a long time as well. Is it possible that it is at this church BOTH of them got the idea or skills to brainwash white people? It is scarey. Here we thought that Oprah was speaking about honest, fair and worthwhile issues. However, her actions speak something else. Obama and Oprah are two desperate people Obama didn’t have the common sense/decency to go to a different church. Then he lies about it. When caught, he dumps his pastor. Prior to all of this, he sang the pastor’s praises. Then he denounces him. I think Oprah got scared alot earlier. She’s older and wiser and knew that this guy could spell trouble if she got caught going to the church. But the message was imprinted upon the brain. Don’t kill the white man…RIP HIM OFF!
I’m sickened that these two charlatons took advantage of good people. They are scam artists and deserve each other. Turn off the Oprah show and tune out Obama.
Comment by wake up on 12 September 2008:
Denise…LOOK WHAT I HAVE BEEN SEEING ON OTHER WEBSITE…IT IS NOT MY WORDS
“ha!ha!ha! Finally. Why did you oprah supporters wait until u made her one of the richest women in the world before u came to your senses? This lady calls her dogs people!! She doesn’t have any children. How can she really relate to women’s concerns and issues as it relates to family? I wish she didnt support obama, because I think it will come back to hurt him. Face it. U white ladies feel oprah is being too black by supporting a black man.Guess what? She is black! But thanks to u, she is super rich and black. And gonna do what she wants. Even spend your subscription money on the poor in another country.Too late dummies!!! U created a monster.Ha!”
HOW IS THAT FOR RACIST? HOW IS THAT FOR MEAN SPIRITED?
OPRAH IS A MONSTER? APPARENTLY EVERYONE KNOWS IT. SHE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF GOOD HEARTED PEOPLE. I THINK OBAMA IS DOING THIS AS WELL. WAKE UP AMERICA.
Turn the Oprah show off, if G.d forbid you are still watching.
Don’t even listen to anything BO has to say. Something STINKS.
Comment by Lance on 13 September 2008:
I can’t beleive it why is it liberals will call a white a racist but not a black in america to day the largest group of racist are blacks the even preach it in thier churches revelious leaders like rev white and obamas church are guilty of spreading hate in this country
and if I am wrong than explane obama saying americans are mean and his wife saying for the first time in her adult life she is proud of her country is her new found pride just because obama was winning ??
and those of you that say if obama doesn’t win it will be because of the racist that is just a liberal excuess that has been set up to make people feel bad and where is the out rage at jimmy carter for calling him a black boy had that been a republican lord have mercy
and how dare the liberals compare obama to Jesus for everyones informstion Jesus was a carpenter not a comunity orginizer
as an American I can not vote for someone that has no idea what he is saying or doing and I refuse to vote for people who call our service men murders, or people that can only tell us how bad america is not how good it is
a vote for obama is a Vote for higher taxes
he says the increase will only effect 5 percent and that is a bald face lie
capital gains tax increase will effect any and everyone that has a 401k plan
I also don’t see how anyone could or would vote for anyone that says it is ok to let a child that is born alive be left to die with no medical help to save them
or a man that says teaching sex education to grade K is the right thing to do
or how about that the high price of fuel didn’t bother him he just wished it hadn’t risen so fast
do your home work and you to may discover what a mistake you are making following the chosen one
Comment by Stephen on 17 September 2008:
This is crazy, to blame slavery entirely on the blacks that sold other blacks is like blaming the drug trade entirely on the suppliers in South America and Afghanistan. Truth of the matter is all markets have a supply and demand side and to successfully reduce equilibrium quantity both sides are to blame. On Oprah and Obama, how come no one complains when there are gyms for women only or insurance rebates for women. Truth is there are some mixed race girls at Oprah’s academy. There are also less than 10% whites in South Africa, most of whom benefited from apartheid and therefore very few are disadvantaged.
Comment by ta on 18 September 2008:
Finally a voice of reason. Do you guys enjoy the high unemployment, inflationationary concerns, weak dollar, disasterous financial markets, unending occupation of a soveriegn state, high oil prices, and international negative view of the USA? If you still think a clueless guy like McCain has the answers then you are pathetic. It is not about being liberal but a matter of fact. The problems facing the US happened under a Republican White House. In 20 years white Americans will be a minority so you had better just get over it, and elect the candidate with better policies.
Comment by eric on 19 September 2008:
somehow this doesn’t come to me as a great shock.if oprah was white she would be under attack from the revs jesse&al daily. she would have to explain why she only seems to want to give to her own race exclusively. well doprah needs to remember if it weren’t for stupid middle-age white ladies she wouldn’t be making millions sitting around on her fat rear with absolutely no contribution to society whatsoever, and now if obongo was white with his background man please he wouldn’t even be allowed to run for dogcatcher. well let me see 20 year member in a hatefilled racist church ,associations with marxists bombers ,absolutely no qualifications to run the country etc.
Comment by denise on 20 September 2008:
why is it that americans dont want to see a better world for our children? yes there are racist black people just as there are racist white people…your point? does that make it ok? is that the msg we really want to teach our children? to hate just because someone else hates? what ever happened to two wrongs dont make a right? as adults we all need to understand and realize that soon we will be dead and it will be our children and our grandchildren left alone to fight the wars that we start!! if every human being, regardless of race and color just made the decision to stop hating and love thy neighbor, wouldn’t our children actually have a better world to grow and live in? why must we continue on the tit for tat warpath that our fathers left for us to follow? it is our own responsibilty to change the future for the better. im quite sure this is not the reasons that god put each of us on this earth. when will the hatred just end???????????????????????? lord, help us all
Comment by cassie d. on 21 September 2008:
wow, i knew it all along. whites are so afraid of blacks, especially when we are intelligent and educated. just look at the comments that most of you have posted. you know it, and trust me, we know it too. it is such a shame that because you all are selfish and greedy, you hate to see another human being from another race get ahead. stop hating oprah and barrak! she can endorse any political party that she wants too. you guys would rather endure 4 more years of the “bush philosophy”, have our troops continued to be killed, let the gas prices continue to eat away at your pockets (just as it is doing to most people in the u.s. right now whether white or black), and suffer financially (believe it or not, the welfare rolls are made up by you all too), than to allow a black man who is interested in the good of all people…especially people who have to work for a living, a chance to be a president. what a shameful pitty.
Comment by Mamma on 24 September 2008:
I think Oprah has a right to endorse a candidate if she would like. However, she does NOT have the right to play these stupid games. She is manipulative, deceptive and biased. She says one thing and does another. BTW, someone mentioned Gayle. Anyone catch the show were Gayle asked Oprah to give a waitress who helped Gayle and the show her autograph or something for being so kind? Oprah YELLED at her and said “no way!” She did NOT offer anything for the waitress even though her BF asked and even though the waitress helped the show. This this is a meanspirited, “full of herself” lady. She would throw her friend under the bus. I’ve turned the show OFF. Tune out Oprah, tune out her products and candidate.
Comment by Robert Wayne on 29 September 2008:
I wouldn’t vote for Obama for dogcatcher. All these damn minorities already have the upper hand thanks to brainwashed stupid whites who fall into that guilt trip garbage. As long as whites keep believing the political correctness agenda being put out by Hollywood, the media, and the so called educational system than this country gets closer to disintegration.
Comment by Katherine Miller on 30 September 2008:
She is the ultimate racist. Barack will not get elected – there are 200 m white voters out there and you better bet that racism on BOTH sides exists. We just don’t flaunt it like she does. The “other side” (oh year – the typical white person) is sick of funding free education, giving and supporting everyone else, and being afraid of our shadows of being politically incorrect but the blacks can say WHATEVER they want and not be called racist. We are done with this and are fighting back. What until November – you will see how we fight back again your racism… and your government programs, free 100% loans on housing, etc.. will be gone because we are cutting them out… finally. Equality atlast.
Comment by Katherine Miller on 30 September 2008:
Oprah is a liar, not a journalist. She could be sleeping with Obama because Obama could never sleep with his wife. Have you seen her lately? Also, google the “curious George” t-shirt – hilarious and true.
Comment by ZuperMom on 5 October 2008:
Personally, I believe all racism is wrong. What I hear in these messages is that many whites are angry about racism from blacks, especially since blacks are not being held accountable. Black leaders would do more for the cause of eliminating racism if they would discourage racism in blacks, but then they wouldn’t have an angy mob to prop them up as “Black” leaders. Their power comes from block voting, but if blacks weren’t racist, they wouldn’t vote as a block, would they???
Comment by Hoping on 7 October 2008:
Here is a take on someone who is neither white nor black: I am totally appalled by any form of racism or discrimination of any sort especially in this day and age when we are all supposed to learn from our ancestors mistakes and make sure that history does not repeat itself. But it seems people so soon forget.
Yes, it’s true that Black people were brought here against their own will to endure torture and hardship and be enslaved by white people, BUT that was the sins of the past. Should the next generation still be punished for something they never did? Let’s look into history where the Africans enslaved the white people in the days of the ancient Egyptians–And yes, a lot of the ancient Egyptians were black! Should the descendants of those tortured and enslaved be angry even to this day and feel like they are owed by those who were never there in the first place? Should the Jews demand the modern-day Germans who had not participated in the Nazi regime to grovel at their feet for their mercy? Should I be angry at the descendants of the Japanese who hacked my grandmother’s fingers off and killed a lot of my relatives during World War II?
The answer is a big resounding NO! If we all wallowed in our anger, loathing, and self-pity, the world would be an ugly place void of forgiveness and love. Racism has many faces and it comes from all sides of the world, no one is immune to being either the victim or the discriminator. If we all realized this and seek to improve our faults, maybe, just maybe, there could be hope for humanity.
Comment by cory on 8 October 2008:
Im not drinkin the koolaid…sorry…I dont see how the hell anyone other than a black person who wants to see him president, could in their right mind vote for Obama.
-he went to a racist church for 20 years..jesus
-he holds his hand over his heart during the national anthem when he feels like it?
-hes made comments like “thats a typical white person”
Damn what more do you people need to see….My God theres people and kids out there calling him the alpha and the omega…
Liberals…what the hell is going through their minds I will never understand.
-its okay to kill unborn infants but if you enjoy hunting and fishing you are a bloodthirsty sicko? Are you oblivious to what abortion can consist of…SHOVING A VACCUUM SUCTION UP THERE AND LITERALLY RIPPING A BABY APART INTO PIECES THAN DISPOSING OF IT LIKE GARBAGE??…WHAT THE HELL???..i mean how the hell can you be okay with something like that i feel sorry for any woman who has had that done well no i dont..cause if there is heaven and hell then im pretty sure your screwed…..and i think you clowns have made fun of Palin enough that she likes to hunt…how the hell do you think we have been surviving all these years..pussies.. stop eating chicken and hamburgers then if you care so damn much about wild animals wants and needs..who were put here for us to eat
-global warming…to call it a crisis? i heard on the radio about a week ago this is forecasted to be the coldest winter in louisiana in like 10 or 12 years and al gore wins a nobel prize for some bull about something we dont even know is true and probably cant control, beating out some old lady who saved like 15 some odd people from a burning building or somethin like that and ended up dying ….congrats Al
-liberals look at the negative side of everything..guess what we are humans we cant make world peace its impossible..there is too much hate in the world but get used to it we cant control it….We are supposed to be electing a president who wants the best primarily for AMERICA not someone who wants to change the world.
Idk..you people are wierd as hell it really does scare me when i just think about how much different you people really are…i have family in california its scary almost cult like how all these white people out there singing obamas praises…yea he does have white family so how could he possibly be racist toward whitey? idk try asking him hes the one that went to a racist church for 20 years….im tellin you it blows my mind how all of you can just disregard how racist obama, in fact,is…because you want change…get the hell over it vote ron paul or something damn idk. if none of this stuff would have ever come out about trinity church thats one thing but im sorry you are messed up if you can look passed that at all.
sometimes i try to cut you white liberals some slack. maybe you live in areas with little to none blacks..maybe you just dont see everyday how racist they can be.Yea they have been mistreated like jews arabs and every other odd race in america but for some reason they are the only ones yet to have more than like 2 people from their race to be really successful in life, disregaurding rappers and atheletes. i live in baton rouge and i see everyday first hand how most black people here are. yes ,there are some white people here that are just racist towards blacks no matter what. why arent other minorities really treated this way? because most blacks around here simply dont try. many end up in jail for drugs or murder..therefore, as unfortunate as it is blacks in general are perceived as basically valueless and no good. and let me stress i
am not saying anyone is valuelss, im saying they act that way so thats how they are gonna be viewed. not saying they all do.but most of them do a good job making themsleves seem pretty much worthless im sorry but sellin drugs and working at jobs with no requirements…its their faults, get a life. If you try to live a ghetto lifestyle than dont claim maltreatment and racism its the lifestyle kids everyday keep getting born into because there parents arent doing a damn thing to change that! im sorry but thats just fact. i wont leave out saying that there are some black people and any minority people who actually try in life. e.g. stay in school…try to get a scholarship if there parents cant pay for it and i salute you but unfortunatly this just doesnt consist of a very large percent of the population at all.
Lastly, someone would probably take a lot of heat for saying somethin like this but damn…obama resembles Hitler in just about every way. He is a great eloquint speaker,he has more and more people jumping on his bandwagon at a time of desperation, and he has no experience to qualify for the leader of America, whatsoever.
But yet, many people just fail to see this.
Comment by David on 18 October 2008:
I am in the Army and 30-40% of the men who serve beside me are men of color, so what is wrong with minority politicians. I get it; a black man is good to bleed on the battle ground with me, but is not intelligent enough to make decisions. While the republicans are trying to trick the population in order the power and wealth in the hands of the select few; Obama is fighting for the middle man. Ironically the person who wrote this article and the others who made the racist comments are probable middle class. I am a white man, but does that matter because I am just saying what is right.
Comment by iris vazquez on 22 October 2008:
Like I have always said, racial hatred and bigotry is a sign of ignorance. The comments on this board just prove there are so many uneducated people in the country. It is sad. For those of you not wanting a black president, there is an easy fix MOVE!
Comment by Laurie on 29 October 2008:
I don’t feel that the color of ones skin has anything to do with ones ability to govern our great nation. What does concern me is that many are overlooking the associations that Obama has had presently and in his past. All people, black and white together should denounce Obamas associations with Bill Ayers, Rev Wright, and the numerous others who are against capitalism, and our constitution, and are racist themselves against white people. People are creating Obama into the candidate they want him to be, and Obama has changed himself into that candidate. Shifting his beliefs and “changing” to get the vote. A real “American” should want someone in office who will uphold the constitution, and love his country as a Patriot should. What I feel that many black citizens have forgotten is that the majority of white people wanted the slaves freed, and thus, this is what happened. The black community has oppressed there own people. People need to take responsibility for themselves. They have the power to change. Opportunities abound for them. Study hard and get a free ride to a university!! No white man can get that. They keep blaming their problems on racism and the white man. They need only look to Bill Crosby who feels they need to take some responsiblity for themselves. Hatred toward white America will not get the black community ahead.
Comment by april on 30 October 2008:
Its one thing to discriminate, but another to be a hypocrite. I have nothing against anyone, I’m just concerned about racism. I know Obama, Oprah, ect…
are really kind people deep down. But why do they dislike
white people so much? We’re in a whole other day and age where race shouldn’t be a factor. All I can say really is
how unfortunate we are as beings to hate such trivial things about one another when there is so much to achieve.
Comment by David on 4 November 2008:
What’s sad is the irony of this blog. People are responding to an
article about Oprah and Obama being racist with their own racist
sentiments. It’s like the pot calling the kettle black (no pun
intended). You base your opinions on what you believe to be true but
have absolutely no proof of or use things taken out of context to
support you own racist views. Know you information first. Do your
research. For example, the person who said slavery was abolished
because more Caucasian people wanted it abolished is incorrect. Slavery
was abolished for political reasons. Northerners were not happy with
the wealth Southerners were enjoying on the backs of slaves. Now what
many Black people fail to realize is that there were a lot of White men
and women whom risked their lives to free slaves because their Christian
beliefs and strong convictions would not let them sit back and do
nothing, but I digress. If these accusations were true about Oprah and
Obama being racist then I would like to think they would have been more
publicized. I have great antipathy (not hatred) for people who put
their ignorance out on public display and with the comments I have read
here that is exactly have has been done on this blog. There are things
that take place in regards to both Black and White cultures that I do
not like but I don’t lump all of the people of those cultures into one
group. I am a Black man myself but I do not share the view of all Black
men. I have experienced racism but I refused to label myself as a
victim. I do not know the hardships of the White man nor have I
experienced all of the hardships of a Black man. I have friends of all
races. I have met black people who were raised to hate as well as white
people who were raised to hate. Ignorance knows no color, which is
evident by the responses I have read on this site. I would have to say
that as a proud American I am very disappointed. But I tell you today
that even though I am disappointed I am not discouraged. I believe in
God and therefore I have faith. For those of you with hate in your
hearts, you have my prayers and deepest sympathies.
Fear knocked at the door, Faith answered, No one was there

Now that this n*gga has won my hard earned 550k / yr will be taxed even more so the 60hrs/wk I work hard to give my family a good life.. The 7 years in college I spent. So I could make sure I’d be educated and successful is looked down upon by Obama . So what he’s gonna do is take my money and ” spread MY wealth” u know what why should I even work .work to give some lazy, stupid inferior n*gga a place to live and food and health care . This Is America , where capitalism NOT communism should be upheld. What the f* ck was abe Lincoln thinking giving apes equal rights as humans ? They should still be slaves. I only am racist because the way the black man acts in general is shit if they acted normal and stopped bitching about “they don’t got no money ” DUH go to fucking school and make sacrifices like give up smoking crack, selling there sister n mom as whores , and stop having babies with other ” sistas n brothas” at 15 f*cling years old their race is a bunch of primal apes
Last thing this country needs is another black guy begging for change
How do you expect 1 n*gga to run the white house if 10 n*ggas can’t run white castle ?
Comment by Proud african lady on 5 November 2008:
I feel so sad for all of you racists and black haters because the great people of your country has left you behind to deal with your petiness and ignorance…white and black Americans today have chosen a BLACK “African-American” PRESIDENT,and there is nothing you can do about it!We all people of the world YO’,black-white… who cares?? Get out of your little southern village and travel the world before making ridiculous claims about Africa!! How i wished scientists could find a cure for your DESEASE…
BARRACK OBAMA, 44TH PRESIDENT OF THE USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just deal with it PEOPLE,and leave Oprah ALONE!
Comment by Maria on 5 November 2008:
Racism is a two way street,blacks can be just as mean as whites (I know). Often if white people complain about black people’s racist comments towards them, the whites are told that THEY are the ones being racist!
In two killings a white gang killed a black man-that was racist, a black ganag killed a white gang-that wasn’t racist!
Is that right?
Racism is a two way street no doubt about it, it seems that blacks can get away with more.
Why should colour have so much of an effect on the world?
Comment by Penny on 5 November 2008:
Obama is not black he is MIXED race why is everyone making such an issue out of this? He played his colour card well and look what’s happened.
He is the first MIXED race president.
Remember he is BLACK and WHITE.
Comment by BOOM! on 5 November 2008:
You people are sooooooo stupid! You think you can discredit a person of African heritage by saying they are racist? After all the years of racism we’ve endured in this country it would serve you right. But sadly, it’s not the case. Bush is a racist… na-na-na-na-na. Geez, no wonder you people beat, tortured and killed my African ancestors when they were enslaved to you. You were too stupid to know any better.
Comment by Canada on 6 November 2008:
Congratulations to America! It’s time for all of you to let go of the hatred and bigotry: blacks, whites, hispanics, asians, natives and all of the rest! Please realize that these petty differences are the only barrier to real human progress towards peace.
Canadians overwhelmingly support Obama as does the rest of the WORLD!
FYI I am white, was raised in Canada and my best friend is BLACK. My recent girlfriend Vietnamese. It’s about time your country moved past the racism garbage.
Comment by joan on 6 November 2008:
Dear Oprah
I don’t know if this letter will ever get to you but I had to write and share my feelings with you. Over the years, I have always admired you and have only dreamed about coming to your show. You have educated us on so many subjects like health, worldly issues, abuse etc. I would always watch your show and would just be in amazement. I truly admired you and thought you were one of the strongest women I have ever seen. I never saw color with you. I saw you as a woman and I mean that truly. I admired you for your accomplishments and natural ability to speak and the equal love for people that I thought you had.
However during this whole election process my feelings for you have deminished and frankly I never want to watch your show again and truly hope the people who put you in the position you now hold will bring you back down. I know that is harsh to say but you have shown me and olthers your true feelings of white people. This election is all about race for you and a good majority of the black community. If I hear one more time “We did it” , “this is historic”, “this is about equality for people of color” etc etc.. I am going to scream.
This election never was or should have been about race!!! This is about our country and worldly issuses that we are dealing with and where we are headed as a country. Some where along the line it became about race. A major majority of the black and hispanic community did not care about Obama’s reputation, past, religious beliefs, how he feels about the american flag or Anthem to just mention a few. They just wanted a black president. It was all about making a point. I do not care that Obama is black one bit and I mean that wilth alll my heart. I don’t care if our President is white, black, hispanic, Oriental, male or female. It was about charactor, experience, beliefs and ability for me and should be for all Americans but it wasn’t. It was all about putting a black man in office to prove a point and for more restitution for slavery period!!! If white people acted or said half the things that have been said by the black community we would be in a civil war right now. I can’t even imagine the riots, law suits or division this world would be in right now if we ran around like we were on fire screaming McCain’s name like he was the second coming of Jesus much less saying “Yeah we did it”, “this is historic” etc….Or how about white people going to homeless shelters or drug shelters and recruiting people to vote. You going to sit there and tell me those people were not influenced on who to vote for and you had a hand in that. When will this revenge stop. This became a racial campaign plain and simple and you used your power, ability and money to fuel the fire.
I am beyond disappointed in you and will not support your show, magazine or you in any way again. You are a fake and hide behind your show and money.
The decision is made now and we have to deal with the consequences. I pray for this country and for the people and their hearts of this country. God have mercy on us.

No one is trying to discredit any-one BOOM!, the way you are acting hints of racism. Racism works both ways. It is time to stop holding a card over people’s heads showing past grievances. Everyone is equal-BLACK and WHITE.
Blacks feel they were hard done to and yes they were but does that mean they should punish future generations of white people for their ancestor’s crimes? It is time to realise RACISM is present in BLACKS just as much as it is in whites. However no race is superior to another, that is something which must be understood and accepted by both WHITES and BLACKS.
Comment by Lousie on 6 November 2008:
In a politically correct world , how come one day you can’t say my friend is black or that man is black you have to say my friend is colored or that man is from an ethnically diverse background, yet the next it is acceptable to say Obama is the first BLACK president of America? Shouldn’t we say he is the first colored president of America (after all he is mixed race?)
Why is it okay for blacks to call each other blacks but not for whites to call them blacks and yet blacks can call whites white and ‘Blankers’ with no problems?
Racism is indeed alive and it’s scary – there is no need for it why can’t people get along regardless of color?
Comment by me on 8 November 2008:
I remember reading story about a black man who went to afraica to see his land. While there he was standing by the river and saw a black man body floating down the river he just looked at and realized that he probally would not be alive today if he still lived in africa. He said black are against blacks and are killing each other. He said he was glad he lived in the united states because africa was never his home. he said never again would he call himself a african american.

Comment by Amy White on 25 November 2008:
There is no one more prejudice than a black person! They haven’t let the civil war go because it’s their claim to “free programs”….Oprahs got the money, Jesse Jacksons got the money, Quincy Jones has the money, Al Sharpton has the money, The Kings have the money, Louis Farrakhan has the money, and on and on and on! They don’t share with any “white folks”…or their own! (Unless they can make some racist political statement and go to “Africa” for the world to see! Folks, they are not a minority…get rid of the census box! That will be a huge “cultural change”…All for one and one for all! Plus it will put tax money back into your pockets to pay for your homes! Pure & Simple…you didn’t see a bunch of white people cavorting around acting like idiots when our white Presidents were inducted. I just do not respect their stupid behavior! Nor am I responsible for slavery, the holocaust, or any other progressive movement in history!
Comment by Amy White on 25 November 2008:
The color of the skin is not important, but what is important, is the quality of the person you are within!
It starts inside. When someone of any color cops an attitude with me, tries to hold me accountable for something I had no responsibility for, intimidates me to give them something I don’t owe them, and on and on…then I become defensive to protect my values I live by. This whole whoopla over Obama is just showing the nation what hangups they have about their color of skin as a majority. They appear to look ridiculous and I for one have no respect for their desperate behavior!
You don’t see this behavior out of our Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, Irish Americans, German Americans…on and on. Our country belongs to the Native American Indians! That’s who should be protesting but they are too intelligent & spiritually connected to feel they have to prove themselves over and over.
Comment by Zack on 26 January 2009:
oprah and Obama are just ugly examples of the way many, many people today think and talk in their real lives. Unfortunately, our supreme court has allowed the special treatment in admissions to universities and schools and hiring practices in many companies to continue. As long as we keep being paternalistic and spoon feeding their every whim, we will keep getting it up the wazoo in racist stupid stuff like this.
If anyone has the right to be angry right now, it is poor, struggling Americans who cannot get into schools,pay for a house, or their carore health care while many others sit and whine they are still not getting enough “pay back” for what happened 200 years or more ago.Sorry, but I believe in equality, not bending over the non black until the blacks finally get all the s…t they want.
Comment by Zack on 26 January 2009:
Eh, “proud African lady”: I would learn how to use CAPS when appropriate and spell the words I am trying to use before blabbling about educating others and calling others stupid.
Arrivederci,Ciao,Adios, Good-Bye!
Comment by Zack on 26 January 2009:
Hey “Canada”, you love Barack Obama so much, you can have him as your PM. He will be a one-term president here. And before you start lecturing us Americans about cultural or social or political issues, why don’t you work on your own? POur election process and who we choose for our president is not based on what other countries like or don’t like. It’s about who we want and who we like for the Presidency for ourselves.
By the way what does it “prove”to tell us the ethnicity of your friend,girlfriend, etc? Get over it. If it’s not an issue, why make it one?
Comment by Zack on 26 January 2009:
…and barack needs to admit he is as much a product of his WHITE mom as his black dad. Damn, she gave birth to him and raised him with his white grandma, educated him, and gave him all the opportun ities while his “black” daddy abandoned ship. I would be a proud Mulatto or “Mixed” guy, if I were him and drop the “I’m a black man” schtick. No books dedicated for mom? Only the neglectful dad? He has issues and they are much like the issues we see throughout the country. resentment and hatred and anger against anything “white”. Whites are supposed to stand there like Gomer Pile and laugh at themselves and their lack of dance moves,their lack of jive talk,or their lack of “street smarts” and bend over and take it up the azz. For what? I think it’s time to look for real equality not one bending over for the other.
Comment by griff23 on 20 March 2009:
Like Obama said about his grandma,she is a typical black
woman,uneducated,bigoted and stupid.
Comment by Nicole on 19 April 2009:
I for one think that Obama is 1st of all unexperienced, how is he going to do right by this country when he was in the senate for 100 n something days n just a community organizer? After everything that came out about him Rev.Wright, his brother living in a $1 shck in Africa & his aunt getting deported from this country, He cant even help his family but hes going to help this country? He is an empty Suit, and says what has been dictated to him by the teleprompter. He is a racist,You dont go to hear someones sermons if you dont believe in what their saying. It is sad that this country has turned out the way it has. We have this recission by giveing people who cant offord homes loans, in which they cant afford to pay which was pressured by groups including ACORN, in whcih Obama has ties to. Hes the president of the United States & i feel hes more concerned with being something like a movie star then the leader of this country. He wants the fame.. He was on Jay leno talking about how he looks like hes in the’ SPECiAL OLYMPICS’ when he bowls. Your in the public eye. your the president & this is how he talks? I think that he is in for a rude awakening & so is everyone who voted for him. Being a community organizer does not qualify you to be president of the United States. We are the United States of America, The country founded on Capitilist Idea’s and hes trying to trun this country to Socialism. Going to France and talking about US? talking down about hsi copuntry? I dont see Americans going to France for a Better way of life.. Thank YOU to alllll of you who Voted for this man.. CHANGE.. YEAH WERE GUNNA GET IT ALRIGHT..
Comment by John on 13 May 2009:
oprah and obama are racist, but since they’re black, they get a pass. huge double standard. think about a white in their position and tell me that they wouldn’t be absolutely grilled by the media. it’s sad.
Comment by White haters are evil on 23 July 2009:
It is a sad fact of life that most of the black people in this country aren’t sincerely interested in us all “getting along”, they simply want to manipulate white people into putting them into positions of power that they can then turn around and use against us through policies of reverse discrimination. What’s even worse is that the majority of white people in this country are too filled with self hate and “guilt” to do anything about it. I really had high hopes that Obama was the exception and that he was a fair minded person but all that has gone out the window with his Miss “wise Latina” Supreme court nominee and his bigoted comments regarding Professor Gates arrest.
Comment by truthhrts on 24 July 2009:
OBAMA IS A RACIST. OPRAH IS A RACIST…PERIOD
IT HASN’T EVEN BEEN 1 YEAR AND OBAMA’S RACISM HAS ALREADY REARED IT’S UGLY HEAD. COME ON FOLKS, DIDN’T YOU SEE THIS COMING, REMEMBER REV. JEREMY WRIGHT, DID YOU STILL VOTE FOR HIM AFTER THAT…IF YOU DID, YOU ARE A MORON! YOU ASK ANY PERSON WHO VOTED FOR OBAMA TO GIVE YOU 3 REASONS THEY VOTED FOR HIM, MOST OF THEM CAN’T. INTERESTING, SO WHY DID THEY VOTE FOR HIM? IT COULDN’T HAVE BEEN THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN COULD IT? HE’S HALF WHITE AND HALF BLACK BUT HE IDENTIFIES HIMSELF AS “AFRICAN AMERICAN” HE’S THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF “AMERICA”, AND HE DOESN’T LABEL HIMSELF JUST PLAIN, OLD “AMERICAN”. EVERY MAN IN MY FAMILY HAS FOUGHT TO DEFEND THIS COUNTRY AND AS PROUD OF AN AMERICAN AS I AM I REFUSE TO PLEDGE MY ALLEGIANCE TO AMERICA AS LONG AS OBAMA IS RUNNING IT! ONE QUESTION, IF BLACK PEOPLE DON’T LIKE BEING REFERED TO AS A “COLOR” (BLACK), AND WANT TO BE CALLED “AFRICAN AMERICAN”, (AND YOU KNOW MOST OF THEM ARE NOT FROM AFRICA) WHY IS IT OK ON JOB APPLICATIONS, AND COLLEGE APPLICATIONS TO IDENTIFY ANGLO AMERICANS AS “WHITE”?… MY FATHER WAS 100% ITALIAN AND MY MOTHER WELSH, THEY NEVER REFERED TO THEMSELVES AS “EUROPEAN AMERICANS”, THEY WERE PROUD TO BE AMERICANS! SHOULDN’T EVERYONE BE…ESPECIALLY OUR PRESIDENT?…OBAMA IS RACIST.
Comment by obamaandopraharesaints on 28 July 2009:
This is ridiculous. Obama and Oprah are two of the most powerful and kind Black people in the world and suddenly they are racist. I am sorry, but last time I checked most Black Americans are still struggling and apparently these two powerful people still realize this. It is so obvious that when African-Americans get power, suddenly some Whites get sensitive about that power and are looking for the Blacks in power to slip up. If it was a situation in which all Blacks were treated equally and had access to all the money and power in the world, then I could believe that there might be some racist goals, but in the meantime the world is not that way.

….UHMMM, We have a BLACK President!…doesn’t HE have ACCESS to money AND power?…Sorry if YOU’RE in DENIAL, but the world IS that way honey! Guess it’s time for you to start “believing” it, Obama is a RACIST!
Comment by kandii on 30 August 2009:
I have known for a long time that ophra was a racist, But, I think she is a passive-aggresive racist. She pretends not to be, but if you watch he show, she always has white with problems…i e child molesters, white wives that snapped, wife beaters, but she always has succesful black people and famous black people on. She is a passive=aggresive racist for sure.
Comment by David on 27 September 2009:
This is for “Comment by David on 4 November 2008″
My name is also David. I am a 5th generation black American and proud! All I can say is that I appreciate what you’re saying… but if you went to college, you need to go ask for your money back!
The civil war was about the northen tariff tax! The south was paying 87% of the taxes on all the goods being exported and imported to America. They were upset by this and wanted to sucede. They were told they couldn’t and because upset and a war was started.
Lincoln told the 5 states where slavery was legal that he was not going to impose on state law. It had nothing to do with slavery. When they war was done and north had won… they decided to do away with it (thank God) but it certainly when the conflict started, it had nothing to do with slavery.
You all are asking is Obama a racist? Well… lets use his own words to find out.
“That’s just how white folks will do you. It wasn’t merely the cruelty involved; I was learning that black people could be mean and then some. It was a particular brand of arrogance, an obtuseness in otherwise sane people that brought forth our bitter laughter. It was as if whites didn’t know they were being cruel in the first place. Or at least thought you deserving of their scorn.”
“In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school”
“I Studied the Koran”
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
” I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”
“I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites”
“Desperate times called for desperate measures, and for many blacks, times were chronically desperate. If nationalism could create a strong and effective insularity, deliver on its promise of self-respect, then the hurt it might cause well-meaning whites, or the inner turmoil it caused people like me, would be of little consequence.”
‘It was obvious that certain whites could be exempted from the general category of our distrust: Ray was always telling me how cool my grandparents were. The term white was simply a shorthand for him, I decided, a tag for what my mother would call a bigot. And although I recognized the risks in his terminology-how easy it was to fall into the same sloppy thinking that my basketball coach had displayed (“There are white folks, and then there are ignorant motherfuckers like you,” I had finally told the coach before walking off the court that day)-Ray assured me that we would never talk about whites as whites in front of whites without knowing exactly what we were doing. Without knowing that there might be a price to pay.”
“To avoid being mistaken for a [racial] sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets. We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets. At night, in the dorms, we discussed neocolonialism, Franz Fanon, Eurocentrism, and patriarchy.”
“Sister Regina,” Marcus said. “You know Barack, don’t you? I’m trying to tell Brother Barack here about this racist tract he’s reading.” He held up a copy of Heart of Darkness , evidence for the court. I reached over to snatch it out of his hands….
I tossed the book into my backpack. “Actually, he’s right,” I said. “It is a racist book. The way Conrad sees it, Africa’s the cesspool of the world, black folks are savages, and any contact with them breeds infection.”
Regina blew on her coffee. “So why are you reading it?”
because the book teaches me things,” I said. “About white people, I mean. See, the book’s not really about Africa. Or black people. It’s about the man who wrote it. The European. The American. A particular way of looking at the world. If you can keep your distance, it’s all there, in what’s said and what’s left unsaid. So I read the book to help me understand just what it is that makes white people so afraid. Their demons. The way ideas get twisted around. It helps me understand how people learn to hate.”
“And that’s important to you.”My life depends on it, I thought to myself. But I didn’t tell Regina that. I just smiled and said, “That’s the only way to cure an illness, right? Diagnose it.”
“When the weather was good, my roommate and I might sit out on the fire escape to smoke cigarettes and study the dusk washing blue over the city, or watch white people from the better neighborhoods nearby walk their dogs down our block to let the animals shit on our curbs-“Scoop the poop, you bastards!” my roommate would shout with impressive rage, and we’d laugh at the faces of both master and beast, grim and unapologetic as they hunkered down to do the deed.
I enjoyed such moments-but only in brief.”
“As it was, I learned to slip back and forth between my black and white worlds, understanding that each possessed its own language and customs and structures of meaning, convinced that with a bit of translation on my part the two worlds would eventually cohere. Still, the feeling that something wasn’t quite right stayed with me, a warning that sounded whenever a white girl mentioned in the middle of conversation how much she liked Stevie Wonder; or when a woman in the supermarket asked me if I played basketball; or when the school principal told me I was cool.”
Do I need to write more… or have you been able to make your mind up for yourself?
Comment by Karen on 7 October 2009:
I find it very interesting how the tables have turned, Whites, playing the race card! With the history of some, they should never open their mouths (ie. Genocide of Natives, Slavery….). If a black person talks about the pains and struggles of being a 4th class citizens or descendants of captives, they are racist. It should be swept under the carpet and forgotten. I find it disgusting when Blacks play the race card and even more when Whites do. “Seek to understand before trying to be understood”.
Comment by JC on 7 October 2009:
Karen, I’m white. I never committed genocide. I never allowed or believed in slavery. You were never a slave. We have all been given the the freedom to better ourselves, white and black alike. Yet, while we argue about who deserves this and that or who suffered more, people that are neither while nor black flock to America from other countries to achieve their American dreams. The easy way out is to blame everyone but ourselves.
Comment by Christina on 31 October 2009:
A lot of you are being racist yourselves.
“I’m tired of black doing this”
“I’m tired of whites doing this”
It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white!! Were all human.
I’m black and I’m in college, married to a white man and we love each other. I don’t live in the ghetto, I concentrate on bettering my life and I AM NOT racist obviously.
There is no “black” thing or “white” thing, it’s a human thing.
I’ve met a lot of good educated blacks and some horrible evil whites, and vise versa.
Stop being racist, seriously, because this is 2009 and your racist thoughts will get you no where.
And who knows, you just may end up with bi racial grandchildren in the future whether you want to or not.
It’s amazing how people can be so stupid as to base their judgements on stereotypes. I’m black but I DON’T EXPECT HANDOUTS, I’M IN COLLEGE, I’M AN ATTRACTIVE PERSON, I DON’T LIVE IN THE GHETTO, AND I MARRIED OUT OF MY RACE.
So if we’re going to go by stereotypes, then I agree with:
“It is so obvious that when African-Americans get power, suddenly some Whites get sensitive about that power and are looking for the Blacks in power to slip up.”
AND
” I find it disgusting when Blacks play the race card and even more when Whites do. “Seek to understand before trying to be understood”. ”
Now, I’ll change that a little and say “some whites” and “some blacks” instead of just plain “whites” and “blacks” just to prove my point.
Ha ha.
America is a melting pot so if racists can’t deal with it, they SERIOUSLY should consider moving to another country because they’re going to be so miserable here lol.

Good news Ohpra will leave TV soon, that will finally put an end to the Oprama black supremacism, and the free pass for racism, at least half of it.
