She will inevitably try to say it is "racism" just like she did when the people in that French purse store didn't recognize her and did not open back up after closing for the day. There is a segment of blacks that are like that. They blame racism on everything. Yawn. Just like Michael Vick. Blacks that understand what I am talking about know that many blacks fought for civil rights and they would say this is not racism. Equal treatment means that you open yourself up to criticism - it doesn't mean that you will be treated with kid gloves. Face it Oprah - you are a bully and it isn't about race - it is about your arrogance that has been brought on by your extreme wealth.

C, no one has said it was about racism - YET, but they will. It always happens. Some blacks are so paranoid about this. BTW how could I discuss the Michael Vick thing with someone black because they would get mad? That is what "leaders" like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have done - put a wall in between us.

Totally without class! To think of ruining a bride's special day.
I hope at least Oprah sends a nice gift for the turmoil she caused.

Ya know what the ironic thing about this is ? -- The fact that she's intruding on a bride's guests. . . . a woman/bride = the very same people that she has fooled into believing that she's somehow a great lady cause she donates some money and has a few organizations . Think about it this way , although Oprah is not an Al Capone , we can make a good comparison here . Ok, Al Capone was rich , and he also donated truckloads of money and food to the poor . Does that make Al Capone a real good guy ? - Nope . Therefore , just because Oprah does donate to and help the poor , does that make her a good gal ? - NOPE .
I just don't see how people could've ever been fooled by her . I see it , but I don't believe it !!

Oprah is a cow who needs a few good kicks to the head. People like this annoy the hell out of me The bridal party had the rooms first so Oprah should just deal with it and make other accommodations.

Who cares! No one said it was racism to begin with. I doubt that you would have donated to lower class families and have sent poor students to college. FYI that's racism/stereotyping when you continue to label "blacks"! You probably don't have any black friends and just repeated what you saw in the media. JUST BECAUSE THE MEDIA SAID IT WAS A RACE ISSUE AMONG BLACKS/WHITES DOESN'T MEAN ITS TRUE!!!!!!!!! By the way when was the last time you discussed the Michael Vick case with someone that was black?

Yes you are right on this one. It has nothing to do with race. It is all about wealth.

YEAH, BUT YOU KNOW THIS THINGS ARE HAPPENING BECAUSE THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF BLACK PEOPLE THAT ARE SENSITIVE.
BUT DON'T THINK THAT ALL OF THEM WILL LOOK TO IT AS RACISM.
