In reply to the discussion: Oprah Winfrey 'was victim of racism' in Switzerland [View all]dogknob
(2,431 posts)What better media icon than Winfrey to go somewhere else and use her immense microphone to get outraged about racism in a place that is not the United States?
Of course racism exists in other countries, but we have a particularly unique, self-propelled cycle of racism and denial of racism here in the United States... and this is what we come up with for a "Trayvon who?" topic?
So no, I "don't give a fuck" what happens to Winfrey in Switzerland. Nor did I give a fuck when she "uglified" herself for that "social experiment" she conducted several years after Ann Magnuson had already done it, published it in Redbook, and wrote an entire touring show about it.
Nor do I care to continue down the long list of Winfrey's past pro-corporate-rule stunts and messages that begins with The Secret and ends fuck-knows-where.
