Black critics and lawmakers alike castigated Oprah Winfrey for a video that went viral Tuesday.
The video, part of Winfrey's series "The Oprah Conversation," featured the namesake host encouraging white guests to admit to their racism and insisting that all white people have a "leg up" because of their skin color.
The latest episode of the AppleTV+ series, which featured activist and former NFL player Emmanuel Acho, spoke with white guests about topics such as whiteness, white privilege, and racism.
And now why is Oprah, maybe the richest black woman in the world, trying to shame white people as privileged? Miss Winfrey, you are the personification of WHITE PRIVILEGE!

"You still have your whiteness. That's what the term 'white privilege' is. It means that whiteness still gives you an advantage, no matter.”
What utter, racist BS. https://t.co/02PADVJkrZ

Hey folks......Harpo was forced to take the mic due to Nr1: Democrats all fall in line with the prevailing rehetroic...you know the pide-piper thing... Nr2: She is black and was forced to make some stupid speech to maintain her place as being part of the black community and by doing so she condones everything that is taking place out there now. Is anyone suprised by this?? One would think that saying what she said....that she now to justify her taking a mic today...she needs to get out there and prove herself as being part of the movement and burn herself some buildings. She will then and only then be initiated into her own lawless community. Yazahaa.....yazahaa....shes parts of da group now.....!!
Correction... she is parts of da hood, cracker.
