why do we blacks always play the racist card?How is this racist? Not really sure why race always has to be the issue. Did she say, "No, it is too expensive because you aren't white?" That word is used waaaay too often when certain people don't get what they want. Perhaps Oprah was acting like she was "all that" and got offended that this employee had no clue who she is. Oprah has obviously never watched the film Pretty Woman. One scene is of Julia Roberts trying to buy her first set of expensive clothes; On walking into a Beverley Hills store the two haughty saleswomen refuse to tell her the price of dresses and say they are too expensive for her. They assume by her dress she has little money. I wonder what Oprah was wearing when she went into the shop she is complaining about. Not all insults are down to racism Oprah. 14 Likes |

It's only people who are insecure that see racism in every action. If i'm white, i can't quarrel with my black friend in order not to be called a racist. If i'm white i can't make fun of my black friend cos i don't wanna be called racists, so i have to watch what i say and how i say. That's how Tiger Woods was angry that his fellow golfer said something about Chicken and the guy had to apologize. These black people should wit playing the race card all the time. At times i even pity some of these white people. Dem don suffer no be small. 5 Likes |

People who feel offended by supposed "racial" abuses are the cause of the prevalence of such So she told you you can't afford it, why not show her you can if you can That's one less "racist" to deal with People really need to work on their self esteem.

curiouslad: People who feel offended by supposed "racial" abuses are the cause of the prevalence of such Let me get your logic. In order for Oprah to squash one racist she has to spend 25k just to show that she has the money, even if she does not like the bag..? Yes you are black but your head no correct !!! You damn right I said it.!! 19 Likes |

so, if Oprah said "can, I see that bag?" what stopped the sales I don't think it's the racist card though even though it has a tiny bit of racism to it like how much does a black woman earn anyways? Still, it could have happened to any white poorly dressed woman... 5 Likes |

To solve this problem, a surveilance footage of the store precisely at the moment where Oprah walked into the store till when she left should be displayed for the world to see. I think Oprah is absolutely right on this one. The sales girl and the company she works for are liars and they just used this recent crisis as a publicity stunt. 2 Likes |

‘I didn’t know who she wasThis could be a possibility that she was guilty. But having said that, no one can really know what actually transpired between both of them. I know some blacks always quickly assumes any treatment from white is racism but they shouldn't blame us. They started it by inculcating that consciousness in us. 1 Like |

Opera should just shut up. What d sales girl did was understandable, you knw how women are, they want to prize everything even when they know they are not gonna buy. Can you bring down a N5m bag for everybody that wants to see it..? Did Opera insist on seeing the bag..? She should just shut up and stop crying foul. 4 Likes |

Can you bring down a N5m bag for everybody that wants to see it..? Did Opera insist on seeing the bag..? She should just shut up and stop crying foul.In any sales store, irrespective of your colour sales people access you before concluding on what you can afford. Its general, in Dubai sales people see Nigerian customers as good buyers cause the ones that buy spend enough money. Its not a racist thing. As someone rightly mentioned it happened in pretty woman to Julia Roberts. Oprah is one of the richest women in the world, she could have easily bought that bag to prove the sales girl wrong(that is if the girl's comment was really racist) and maybe sell it online if she really didnt like it 3 Likes |

Maybe it was all just a big misunderstanding due to miscommunication. Probably the way the woman expressed herself in English to Oprah could be regarded as racist but that might not have been her intention. After all English is not her first language. Just saying. BTW is she a sales girl or sales woman? |

God bless you! We black people really need to get over themselves, it's getting boring really. Even here in Nigeria when you walk into an upper class store, the assistants give you a thorough look before attending to you. Oprah might have looked very ordinary that day and not everyone in the world knows who Oprah Winfrey is! 2 Likes |

Oprah would not be making the claim if nothing had happened, why would she want to tarnish a poor girl's reputation? The girl obviously made the comments without realising that it was ophrah winfrey and later on she has to tell a story to cover up. We now one thing is certain, she will NEVER do it again; that is how white people like to make fools of us, they want to turn every rasict situation into a situation that looks as if the black person is paranoid, it is an old trick. am sure if you ask british people whether John Terry is rasict they will tell u NO, as if we are all paranoid 15 Likes |
