samagon Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I really can't stand that kind of crap. People need to stop accusing other people of being racist for things that have nothing to fo with race. It's like being racist against people who think differently than you do.It is true though.You have to understand 'often' does not mean 'always'.

editor Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Did you just say that Oprah is part of the racism industry??Not intentionally, but she is; just like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and others. Did you ever see the episode where she told her audience that Greenland is larger than Africa on a world map because white people live in Greenland, and black people live in Africa? Guess she's never heard of a little thing called Mercator Projection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Google didn't deliver me any reference to her saying that.The show pre-dates Google, and legally Google wouldn't be allowed to show it to you, even if it had a method of searching video, which it doesn't. Google only in the last year or so started figuring out closed captioning. It certainly doesn't have access to every television show ever created.There are billions of things from the past, and even the present, that Google doesn't know or index. Imagine a world where nothing of significance exists before 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no reference to it in any archived news articles, either.There are billions of things from the past, and even the present, that Google doesn't know or index. Imagine a world where nothing of significance exists before 2003.You claim it happened. I do not know if that's true. It seems pretty out of character, and I wouldn't say that Oprah's average viewer is watching her to participate in the 'race industry'.

The map theory was greeted quite vociferously by the group, since its members already embraced a lot of other odd conspiracy theories.

Guys should avoid watching Oprah whenever possible, but particularly when there are women nearby. No good can ever come from that. I speak from experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
