Oprah has pulled the race card before .. just in time for a movie release in the past.

You don't like O because she is black do you?

can you prove they are not black!

Here is the real truth..Ophrah is use to special treatment..She got the same snobby treatment any regular joe might have gotten coming in after closing and , got her A list feelings hurt.

Ophrah has about as much in common with the plight of the avg black as I do space dust.

She should be ashamed of playing the race card, while living her privileged life

She probably hurt blacks more than she helped, cause she just added another log to the, "we have had enough of race absurdity" BS

Her comment was to lament about how no matter how far you ascend up the ladder, there will be cases like this. And trust me, it's not just her that gets the "regular joe" treatment.

You forget she started as an average black and worked her way up, racism doesn't go away because you are rich. Go ask Forest Whitaker, Tyler Perry, and quite a few others about it.

you named noone with the fame or money of oprah winfrey. it was rude. rude of oprah to come after closing & rude of the sales lady trying to rush her out the door.

none. but, i watch E! occasionally when my wife makes me.

She is the only black billinonare. I think going to a store after closing is asking for too much. But being told I can't buy something because it's too expensive for me? I have a problem with it.

Elitism in Europe is based on class, not race. All the money in the world won’t get a woman of any color into the Ascot Races unless she’s wearing a fabulous hat and a dress..You are talking about old world protocol. The race card is being played again as this is not about money but having her name attached to a flop at the box office.

Which flop?

Did you even watch Beloved? I'm going to guess no. It was a flop: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beloved_%28film%29

The film, however, was a failure at the box office and could not come close to surpassing its $80 million budget. According to BoxOfficeMojo.com and TheNumbers.com, the movie grossed only $8,165,551 on its opening weekend.

She said that was the worst point in her career, but somehow she came back from it. Shocker.

Plus she was wearing a shirt and dress that cost easily in the 4 maybe 5 digit range. She wasn't in house shoes and sweats.

I hate BOR but I will give him props on this one. At least he called it what it was.

Yeah like I was saying in another thread, the guy has some good points at times. His problem is that he's his own biggest fan.

'Duck Dynasty' star: I was victim of 'facial profiling'

In an incident of what Duck Dynasty star Jase Robertson calls "facial profiling," he was escorted out of a swanky NYC hotel after a staff member assumed he was an undesirable sort.

Robertson and the rest of his Louisiana family were in the Big Apple promoting the Season 4 premiere of their hit A&E reality show, which drew nearly 12 million viewers last night, a record-breaking ratings success.

But, even with all the cash from their family business and the ratings coup, the Robertsons may not yet be household names -- or faces, which was more than evident during Robertson's encounter with a confused hotel employee.

"I asked where the bathroom was and he said, 'Right this way, sir.' He was very nice," Robertson shared on Live With Kelly & Michael. "He walked me outside, pointed down the road and said, 'Good luck.'"

It's hard being white...RACIST. Think God he was not black...The networks would be in a frenzy and Marvin would be inconsolable.

I don't condone this behavior. If they threw him out for being "unsavory" looking, why would Oprah be denied service when she was dressed properly and nice?

Nah, just another day for black america.

I have told you before Marvin, she was the victim snobbery. Pret-a-porter Donna Karan is relatively cheap in the world of fashion. She is an arriviste in the world of Hermes. This is about class and not colour.

I guess this would be more about class than racism. I stand corrected.

Reading that purse blog was funny. Some of them were talking about the right way to approach the sales people etc.

It's a bag to put your $hit in! People are stupid.

1st. Larry King asked her did she still experience racism. He never asked her where.

2nd. If that was store policy, she would have informed her of that. Oprah made it clear what she wanted and she was denied. The store clerk's job is to take care of the customer. It's not her place to tell anyone what they can or can't afford.

Larry King can ask whtever he wants on his show, if larry King decided not to inform his viewer where the incident took place that is bad on part of media for not telling all the facts and covering them up to make their story more sellable.

Now unless you believe every word Oprah says is gods word than there is no argument, who knows what clerk said. Sales person might have very well said they don't show the expensive purse to anyone.
