Oprah Makes A Sterotypical Racist Comment!

edited April 2007 in A Moving Train
Amazingly, Oprah makes a stereotypical race-based comment and no one bats an eye.

In the first segement Oprah brought out the RU Women's team and praised them, compared them to Maya Angelou. Then she and Vivian Stringer recounted this whole story again.

In the 2nd segment, Oprah had a hip-hop dance instructor on, and brought various people on stage to try the moves. One white lady states that she doesn't have any rhytmn!

After Oprah watches her dance she says... "Yeah you do dance like a White Girl".

As a "white man" I am deeply offended, deeply insulted, deeply wounded, emotionally devastated and I fear for my life; when black racists are permitted to insult and denigrate the dancing skills of my race!

    That's gender discrimination! You're denigrating and insulting the intelligence of all males of our species! I am deeply offended, deeply insulted, deeply wounded, emotionally devastated and I fear for my life; when anyone is permitted to insult and denigrate the intelligence and comprehension skills of my gender!

    it doesn't bother me that she said that, but that is definitely a double standard.

    'nappy headed hoes'

    'you dance like a white girl'

    they both sound discriminatory in a mild fashion. who gets mad about shit like this though?

    GEES!

    Are you implying I don't have a right to be a racists, a right to my privacy and my own personal opinions? Especially if I'm black?

    OPPRESSOR!! OPPRESSOR!!!


    You are oppressing and infringing on my rights! I am deeply offended, deeply insulted, deeply wounded, emotionally devastated and I fear for my life; when anyone is permitted to infringe and oppress on my right to be a racist!!

    This whole Imus affair and it's aftermath makes me what to move to a deserted island to get away from all the stupidity infecting the human race.

    If people didn't continually talk about what Imus said, then people wouldn't be talking about what Imus said.

    If people didn't continually talk about Imus being fired, then people wouldn't be talking about Imus being fired.


    I'm just sayin'.

    We've come so far, worked so hard, danced so long and still......We are.....The Rhythmless Nation!


    But fear not, for we now live side-by-side...with.............The Humorless Nation !

    I have a dream.....

    One day, the Humorless and Rhythmless will build bridges of communication and love. Bridges we can all walk over....hand and hand.....together and unite, in the middle. A bridge which joins our hearts, our minds, our souls ......and our bodies, as ONE.

    A bridge of HOPE.......a bridge of LOVE.

    now that's it's "over"...the situation can be seen in its true light...

    how's that go again...?

    oh yeah...

    I took a drive today
    Time to emancipate
    I guess it was the beatings made me wise
    But I'm not about to give thanks or apologize
    I couldn't breathe holdin' me down
    Hand on my face kissin' the ground
    Enmity gauged united by fear
    'Posed to endure what I could not forgive...

    I seem to look away
    Wounds in the mirror waved
    It wasn't my surface most defiled
    Head at your feet fool to your crown
    Fist on my plate, swallowed it down
    Enmity gauged, united by fear
    Tried to endure what I could not forgive

    Saw things
    Clearer
    Once you, were in my...Rearview mirror...

    I gather speed from you fucking with me
    Once and for all I'm far away
    I hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...hey...

    Saw things so much clearer
    Once you, once you...
    Rearview mirror

    Saw things so much clearer
    Once you...oh yeah...


    at the end of the day...this situation will be seen as one big joke....

    No, that is not racist, but it is racist to say you swim like a black man!

    Let's just put all the stereotypes out there and see what sticks.
