Oprah Winfrey says Obama victim of racism

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

The President of the United States is a VICTIM? Of racism? Of course he is.

Wait. I thougt he was black AND the President of the United States. How can one be black AND President of the Untied States and be a "victim" of racism? Only in America. Maybe if we gave him food stamps...we already subsidize his house and medical care (he isn't joining Obamcare)

Is the Oprah saying that the reason Obamacare is sucking so much is because he is black...not because he is stupid? I don;t agree.

I think race has nothing to do with him being such a horrible leader.

You have a lot to learn.

The race card ....... The gift that keeps on giving. She plays it so well herself.

If the President of the USA is a victim, what about the rest of the population?

Rush said it well

He brought out a good point..If America is so Racist that we hold Blacks in contempt then how is Oprah one of the top celebs in the Nation. One of the richest women on the planet, loved by so many keeps crying racism..She needs to shut up.

Rush Limbaugh returned to one of his favorite targets on Friday’s radio show: Oprah Winfrey. This time, Limbaugh seized on comments Winfrey made to the BBC about Americans showing “disrespect” to President Barack Obama because of his race. The host couldn’t wrap is head around that concept, asking “then how the hell did you become who you are?”

Limbaugh was particularly outraged that Winfrey chose to highlight Rep. Joe Wilson’s (who she referred to as a senator) “You lie!” moment as an example of this “disrespectful” behavior. “Why hasn’t anyone in your audience ever said ‘You lie!’?” he asked, “because you have.” He said Wilson was “right” to yell out his accusation during the State of the Union because “Obama was lying.”

“These people are not nearly as smart as they think they are,” he continued. “They are embarrassingly ignorant… It’s not because he was black! It’s because he was lying, Oprah! He’s lying now! He just told the biggest presidential whopper in history!”

Limbaugh then continued questioning the existence of racism in America by asking, “If black people in this country are so mistreated and so disrespected, how in the name of Sam Hill did you happen?” He asked, “If there’s a level of disrespect simply because he’s black, then how Oprah have you managed to become the–at one time–most popular, and certainly wealthiest television personality? How does that happen?”

In her immediately controversial remarks, Winfrey stressed that it is the “office” of the presidency, more than the president himself, that she believes people disrespect, perhaps because after 43 white male presidents in a row they have trouble getting accustomed to a black one. Winfrey had to overcome similar hurdles to achieve her level of dominance in the television industry, but the two fields can’t be quite so easily equated.

He was voted for because there were no better candidates. That's why I did and the second time nobody got my vote. That's why he got the votes. Doesn't mean America is "post racial."

And for the people who think America is, look at the filth, hate and disgust that oozes out of people's filthy little fingers on VJ everyday. I am sure there are plenty of more hellbangers such as them floating through the U.S. gracing people with their pathetic presence everyday.

My friend, of course there are plenty of non racist people but there are still many more racist ones. You can be black, somewhat successful and still discriminated against. There are no rules to racism. Me and Marvin tell you of the problems we face everyday.

People who deny racism are just like alcoholics. If the problems are staring you in the face you won't believe it. If you saw a man fat foot call a woman a black wh### you would say he is having a bad day. Some people are embarrassed other whites racism so they just pretend it doesn't exist so that they can sleep better at night.

Maybe you would think differently if you saw the amount of disrespect BushBaby incurred while he was in office.

As it is, the amount of vitriol still directed his way should give you an inkling.

The disrespect here is directed at the incumbents, based on how people view their respective political ideologies and policy faux pas.

Right? We elect a black President and he is a victim? I mean granted, he got his popah kicked by that white guy, Putin, but Putin has a 9th degree black belt. Obama is no Chuck Norris, but it is not because he is black. He is still the leader of the 2nd most powerful country in the world. Albeit with the most eff'd up healthcare system.

The only thing between the Oprah and a $48,000 purse is a rude clerk...and she is a victim?

The problem with all this racist talk is that it guarantees nothing will ever get fixed. No one is looking at the real problems.

Denying racism is ridiculous. No one denies it. We see it everyday. A perfect example is when voters voted for a man because they THOUGHT he was black and then went spastic when they found out they had voted for (OH NO!) a WHITE guy.

That it exists is undeniable...the notion that Obama is a "victim" of it is ludicrous. The American electorate KNEW he was 1/2 black and still voted for him...TWICE.

Not denying there are Racist. I am telling you it is a minority. I am also telling you I see more blatant Racism coming from the Black community than i do the white

I am telling you for a fact that if America was a rabidly racist country Oprah would not be one of the most loved Celebs and Obama would not be President

Is there a link to what Oprah said?? It would be nice to have some context...

He's horrible to you.

Asking for context from Gary is a bit much. I'll help you out: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/oprah-winfrey-president-obama-disrespected-black-article-1.1518299

A lot of what Obama receives might be just good ole fashion hate, but there is a nice percentage that is based in racism. I'll give examples. Anytime you have politicians using terms like boy, tar baby, shuck and jive, this is racist. When you have folks that scream you lie during a meeting with the POTUS, that's racist. Remember Fox news? They used to think it was treasonous to talk about a sitting president in the way they do now. I can keep going if you need more.
