Ooooooprah... it is time for us to have a little chat: i have heard you say, on video, that opposition to Obama is based on racism. Haters gonna hate, you say. i disagree. While surely there are some who feel this way, since America is such a big and diverse place, i think you have discounted a much more appropriate reason for opposing the O: incompetence. If not that, how about lying? If not that, how about hypocrisy? There are more, but my space is limited. Do any of the above do anything for you, besides racism? Keep in mind, Oprah, that as a percentage of population, white folks still are the majority. And you are now filthy rich, thanks in part to those same white people, some of whom dislike the president. So...being pro-Oprah and anti-Obama are mutually exclusive? An awful lot of white folks helped you get rich, does that mean to you that they are race traitors? Are you trying not to be? Race sure does seem really important to you. And yet America (even white America) elected a black man twice to the presidency. It wasn't important to most Americans what color he was. They are mad now because they were duped by an incompetent lawyer. And now they know it for sure. So when you, Oprah, fall back on race instead of logic, you are playing your last card of desperation. It has no merit. You know that. In fact, Oprah, to my mind YOU are the racist. The only other alternative i see is that you are ashamed of how wrong you were supporting him, and too prideful to admit it. But you certainly seem to think that white America owes you or the president some debt other than our money and our dwindling rights. Because you think that you both are superior. That is called racism, Oprah. Look it up sometime.

When are we going to return to sane civil discourse in this nation? i don't owe anybody a ******* thing as far as guilt or explanations go. My family, southern farmers, NEVER owned slaves. The family worked the land. So **** you, Oprah.
