She also refuses to have rappers on her show. Definitely a racist! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Nah. She just likes the fact that his name starts with the same letter as hers. She also secretly hopes for a quicky.
But, Hillary is a woman - just like Oprah. Hillary's also a democrat, just like Oprah. Why not support Hillary?
She ain't got the inches. Hillary is so unsexy that her image and voice are used in therapy sessions for sexuals offenders. Hillary's name does not implicitly promise an orgasm.
I'm sure that's a factor. I'm sure she's thrilled there's a black candidate good enough to gain her loyalty. That doesn't make her racist.
But, Hillary is the front runner. Why isn't Oprah backing a winner who is also a woman? Indeed, when was the last time Oprah campaigned for a Presidential candidate? Interesting time to start.
That's one factor towards why she might not get the nomination. Not every Democrat wants Clinton redux.
1. Oprah's support of Obama isn't necessarily racist. 2. Hillary's nomination isn't confirmed just because you say it is.
Isn't "necessarily" racist - true. But, your hedging on hair splitting means even you suspect the racist undertones.
I don't suspect or assume anything. Admittedly I don't know enough about Oprah's relationship with Obama, but at the same time I've never seen a quote from Oprah with a "I'm supporting him because he's black" sentiment either. So while the racist undertones might be there, I have no reason to assume it is.
When a minority gets to a certain point they are or think they are responsible to help others of there kind to make it big also. Also the nice big publicity that backing Obama brings can not hurt. As for Clinton my god I hope she is not up for nomination. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! The question is what America is ready for, a black man or a woman?
Even if Oprah is backing Obama all because he's black, it doesn't mean she's racist. It's more like, hey, we finally have a black person running for president, who's also a refreshing change of pace, that looks to have a chance, time to give him all the help I can. Pride and empowerment, not racism. Backing Hillary because she's a woman too? Sure, she could have done that, but she's a Clinton. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! - N
