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!

    Was that a racial slur? Did you just call me a "cracker"?

    After all the progress white dancer made over the years we are still subjected to this racism and hate language.

    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?

    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'.
