SE Cup and Marc Lamont Hill decided to go at it on CNN
they were talking about Oprah and if you remember she recently told a personal
story about how when she was in switzerland you walk into a store that
sells handbags
and she asked to see one and
this ailment was basically like a
no right and over said yeah I did have on like my makeup I really look like
Oprah
you know so shoe experience discrimination mean that's what it is I
don't know any other possible interpretation
well as a cub has another interpretation let's listen to this
and I have an interesting take away afterwards mind to it but overall so the
peacemakers you want to make people feel comfortable
she didn't want to alienate a large part of her family's which is right now I
think that's just
our approach too late it's a little too late I mean hope ur has
such a massive level up influence in this country
I have no where near the level up influenced I know if I go on Twitter
and I complain about something think people are going to notice
she went on national television and injected
what she saw as racism into a motivation for what happened in Switzerland I
wasn't there
I don't know what happened but I think that was a pretty significant heavy
charge to levy
and a little reckless on her part of course that was going to spark
a national debate of course that was gonna get Switzerland attention
its Oprah against some lonely anonymous
Swiss shopkeeper I thought that was really throwing
some upper influence and power around recklessly really
I I'm amazed that you feel so more sorry for the reckless and Nana miss
potentially racist shopkeeper in Switzerland the present actually
racist you weren't there either Martin sliced that's why such attention
no that's why I said potentially it's potentially racist because over
that it was it may not have been it's potentially but I have no reason to
doubt
Oprah overs executor race baiter this is unlike I
someone who do you know who deals in reserve reid et al on a public stage you
decide to tell a story
of it was at a way to avoid race talk some Oprah says it was raise our money
i mix I'm inclined to agree with that or a lot of people that's the problem i
my main takeaway from this
and sometimes we have this conversation you know
are the people on the right doing it because
they've miss read the situation in the world
and they're ignorant and you know they don't know the details
or are they doing it because they're misleading you and they're lying
you know they're smarter than they're putting on but there you know acting in
playing a character and you know
this is what they're saying and RCF a judge on a case by case basis
and some commentators I think are lying other commentators I think are genuine
and it depends right what I took away from this is that
SE Cup is why I don't believe her
I don't believe for a second that she actually thinks
that there was no race
involved in a story that over told nor do I think that
she doesn't believe the story that over told we offer is a gazillionaire
what incentive does she have to make up a story
about being in Switzerland and facing racism there's no incentive
at all right and you've got a way to avoid race conversations your entire
career
she doesn't like you know been one of those people that the right-wingers are
like
got out there like they do with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton other people
talk about race regularly
they've like embraced over to a certain extent it all you know recent days now
they're
not a hater because she's telling personal stories that they find a
comfortable
but what I don't believe her I I think she knows
I was what was it then that the person is what's on the salesman in Switzerland
I thought all we don't show
handbags to people who have on yellow nail polish
I noticed that the way you tie your shoes is not the loops will be in pole
method and that's why we're not allowing you to see the back row
third one possible explanation could there be a right
here tell me if Mitt Romney's wife walked in there in a mink coat with a
scarf
you know where like but some incredibly expensive
rings on her fingers like boom I would like to see me
38,000 alone Louisville Hall
there's only one oh yes ma'am absolutely let me tell you about this moderate hear
this one was made and blah blah blah
I want definitely happen but when it's all for a oh and so you know I'll
slightly overweight
work woman who is not really dressed all their glory
I'm sorry I don't think I am I gonna show you cuz I know that you can afford
it
