I've
been worrying about
pondering this Oprah post [
Noel Sheppard ] from yesterday
Specifically, the Racists Have to Die part. Now that I've read it in context, it may not be quite what it appears to be—on the surface.
GOMPERTZ:
Are you saying problem solved?
WINFREY:
As long as there are people who still, there’s a whole generation – I
say this, you know, I said this, you know, for apartheid South Africa,
I said this for my own, you know, community in the south - there are
still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and
marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, and they just have to
die.
Liberals are famous for finding "code words" that evidence racism, and despite her couching this in "South Africa apartheid;" "there are still generations of people (in the South), older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, and they just have to die,"is, I'd say, code. The magic word is generations. "There are still generations of people ...." That clearly implies more than just the old whites, but their spawn for "generations." And whether that was intentional, or not, doesn't matter in this climate. In Oprah's world, anyone who is not aboard the Obama race wagon is racist. The undereducated class in the black community have clearly been played by the Obama Administration, and are seething, and they are militant. They are put into action by code words. You'd
think Obama was the first president to ever have
challenges and confrontations. Was Gompertz on another planet when
George W. Bush was regularly being attacked by his opponents?
With
the race card nicely placed on the tee, Winfrey predictably hit it a
long way:
What
Winfrey conveniently ignores is that she endorsed and campaigned for
Obama BECAUSE he was an
African-American. He wouldn't have gotten her support or been elected
if he wasn't.
More
importantly, if he was just some white guy from Chicago that nobody had
ever heard of, he never would have beaten Hillary Clinton in 2008.
