Is Oprah a racist?

Originally posted by Regret
Oprah has refused to support presidential candidates throughout her career, now she is very strongly campaigning for a candidate. Why? What did she have against all the previous candidates? They were white. Obama is black, that is why Oprah is supporting him, no other reason. Oprah only sees skin color. Sure she acts like a decent person, but she only cares about political candidates skin color if it becomes a question of her support.

is racism the right term? i think its possible that she has a bias for a black candidate, but your implication is that she chose not to endorse other candidates on the grounds that they were/are white. thats not a sound deduction imho.

Soooooo I guess I am racist as well....

I would like to see Obama as president. I don't think he is the BEST candidate but I think that IF he is elected, he would still be a good president. Come on...we had a pervert for 8 years and then an idiot for 7...I am just looking forward to change.

Get over it. you are looking to much into that.

Most(probably ALL) politicians are liars....he just got caught.....I am embarrassed that he was my president ONLY because his perversion was all over the world.

Perversion, pervert? He had a few extra marital affairs, it's not like he ass-raped a toddler.

clinton was not a pervert. an adulterer, yes, but i fail to see anything deviant and depraved about a blowjob.

And Clinton is cool. I wouldn't call him a pervert, and really people that overeacted to that should shut the hell up.

i had her figured as a sexist, but not a racist (judging by her old talk show, where all male;s were guilty until proven innocent.

Racism is the correct term. The implication is that she chose to endorse this candidate on the grounds that he is not white.

Oprah is just a black woman who can't maintain her weight. Who cares?

So then, Obama is the first candidate that held 'Opra'priate political views? It's a racist thing. Given mere probability, there have to have been candidates that held views Oprah agreed with before, the difference was they were white. Obama is the first 'non white' candidate that held her views, not the first candidate that held her views.

wrong.
racism would imply that she chose to not endorse any candidates because they were/are white.

perhaps she chose to endorse obama simply because he is black. that would imply a bias. however you have no grounds for which to accuse her of refusing to endorse candidates in the first place. none. zip. nada.

there is nothing certain to suggest that she actively refused any edorsements. at best all you can suggest is that her bias for a black candidate brought her into political endorsement. because, as you said, she never before bothered to openly support a presidential candidate.

:edit: what you're attempting is on about the same level as calling a guy 'racist' because he never had a black girlfriend. its baseless and completely built on presumption.

Actually, she and Obama have been very good friends. She didn't ever support Sharpton or Braun (and she's a black woman). Besides, Obama is a fellow Chicagoan.

Don't pull this BS.

Whenever I see a black person I think "racist".

You'd be correct 99% of the time.

I consider a sexual extra-marital affair, perversion. These are MY moral beliefs. What he did was "perversion". A pervert practices perversion. Clinton WAS and probably still IS a pervert. I do not want a perverted President. I have already pointed out that most and maybe all politicians do things similar to Clinton, Clinton just got caught AND it was all over the world AND he lied.

I don't want to know what gets a person's rocks off behind clsoed doors...just make sure those doors are not the entrance to the oval office. I do not like liars, either. That is why I haven't voted at all...yet.

You posted Schector's post above mine, which in reality, it was posted after mine, so now it looks like I basically regurgitate what he said, instead of the other way around, ass.

Well, as long as you realize this is your own personal meaning of the word "perversion" and not canon. Seriously though, there are worse things a president can do than have an affair, that's a personal matter; it doesn't affect the country. The lying [perjury] and attempted cover-up were far worse, I thought.

Sorry bud, but desecrating your marriage when you are the president of the united stats of America is canon perversion...he used a fuggin' cigar.................and that's not perverted?...since when is it natural to stick human-made tobacco sticks in a human vagina? sounds like text book perversion to me. *shrugs*

but like I said, as well, they probably ALL do that and I am just wanting my politicians to keep that stuff on the DL and not out there in the public.

When I heard about what he did...I thought he was awesome...I was like, 'Holy shit, my president has still got it in his 50s...)

Edit....I edited my post so it shows correctly...not that people can't read and see that you clearly posted first AND that fact that each user can click on the "post" hyperlink to go straight to the post...use your complaining on something better than that, robbie.
