She is. What candidate does she decide to support? Barrack Obama, because he's black. Who is one of her favorite music artists? Mariah Carey, because she is partly black. Oprah gives special attention to other black people. I realize she is proud of her heritige, but now she is actually racist towards other races. Does anyone agree.monkeytoes61
Ah comon. She has a HUGE white female fan base. Dont even go there.
... did she specifically say that she liked those celebrities because they are black? Because if she hasn't explicitly stated that, then it's just you projecting things.Luncbox1She doesn't have to tell us, you can see she gives special attention towards blacks.
I agree with you 100%. It seems that its OK for black people to be racist these days, but nobody else. This attitude really needs to change.generic_user512I know, exactly. A black person can get away with anything, white people get flamed and destroyed if they say anything bad.
I don't see how it's racist. So you're saying all the white people that support Mcain and Clinton are also racist?bobabanThat depends, are they supporting them because they are white? Why else is Oprah supporting Barrack besides the fact he is black?

How is she racist just because she supports blacks? All of my favorite actors/musicians/etc are white. Does that make me a racist?
I don't really like any Black artist, with the exception of Jimi Hendrix. Does this mean I am racist? Maybe to some, but it's kind of just personal preference.
That said... I can't stand Oprah.

I don't see how you could prove it. Anyway I think it's a smart move for her career regardless - The first potential black president should be supported by extisting black influential figures. Thus she wouldn't be alienting her audience.

I wasn't talking about Oprah, I have never even seen her show. Im saying black people in general. It seems like its OK for them to be racist, but its completely offensive for any other people to say anything against black people.
ex. Black people at my school always use terms such as "whiteboy", "white trash" etc. yet if anybody even mentioned somethinglike blackboy or n***** they would probably get expelled.
In other words:

Alright, I get what you're saying. Same thing goes on at my school.

Whites do it all the time as well.

How so? its "politically incorrect" and against social acceptance for white people to do that, but black people excercise their racism all the time with seemingly no reprecussions.

That is not true its not ok for blacks to be racist.
Thats what im trying to say, but they seem to get away with it more and more. While racism against blacks seems to be less and less tolerated.

I'm black and I have noticed that, but i guess people see the N word as extremely contriversal. That and being racist period.
Some media is still racist towards black too. ( stereotypes and such) Racists jokes are made about all races and i see what you're saying racism should not be tolarated at all.

Does anyone agree.monkeytoes61how weird that a racist would do a show for white fans, because most of her fans are white not black.

Racist!
this thread fails on so many levels
only a person who isn't a minority would make such a thread.

But only a minority would thread such level. :|

White people love Eminem and will say he is the best without knowing jack about hip hop.
Black people will be quick to say Jimi Hindrix is the best without even knowing any other guitarist.

Maybe that's because they appeal to her culture. You can't say someone is racist because they primarily like Black artists, politicians or musicians. Maybe she appreciates Obama because he appeals to ethnic minorities and he's by far the best candidate for President of the US. Maybe she likes Mariah Carey because she likes her music.
In fact, it could be argued that you are being racist by not allowing black people to choose who they listen to. Your comments are just more divisive and backwards than true.
