That's racist!

I don’t date Asian women. That’s not racist. That’s a preference. I don’t date dudes, I don’t date brunettes or girls with short hair.

Obviously you're a racist, homophobic, hair hater!!

I didn’t say one way or another but now that you mention it, there’s a whole lot of folks that like to stay within their cultural comfort zone. It’s been that way since the dawn of mankind in case you were wondering.

Probably because there are cultural differences that one side or the other doesnt want to live with. People aren't exactly the best at stepping outside of their comfort zone. That doesnt make someone a racist because they do the easy thing, its just the way it is.

Someone please explain to me how these comments from Oprah are not racist:

“There are white people who are not as powerful as the system of white people — the caste system that’s been put in place — but they still, no matter where they are on the rung, or the ladder of success, they still have their whiteness,” she said.

“You still have your whiteness. That’s what the term ‘white privilege’ is. It means that whiteness still gives you an advantage, no matter,” she continued.

Oprah is the one who has privilege. She can use racist language like this and the MSM will not touch her

How is that racist? Being white means that you're much less likely to be called the N-word, for example. It's not racist to say that.

It’s the old White Men Can’t Jump argument...... what if the movie had been called Black Men Can’t Think?

She’s not saying white men can’t jump or anything similar, though, so it’s not really that argument

Ok.... what if.... a white media person....hmmm.... such as Ellen or Dr. Phil.... made comments about black folks drinking and drugging, robbing and acting like jive turkeys because of their “blackness”?

So if a white person said all black people were the same because they will always have their blackness, no one would have a problem with it?

Your exception here is based on their race.

f*** Oprah. Anyone who peddles this sh*t should just be ignored. Be white, don't give a **** about it, don't acknowledge any of this mindless sputum babbled by the woke. Just live your lives and to hell with the rest.

"I don't date black people" is racist, my guy. There are a million ways to refuse a date without saying that

There was a tweet, I cant find it anymore, but it essentially called people who wouldnt date a tranny, transphobic. This is that same vibe.

 

[Sea Ray]

A fair test of racism is to switch the words and imagine what would happen. If a white guy like say Dr Phil, had made the statement..."but at least you'll still have your blackness" he'd be off the air in a week.

This sort of language from Oprah is divisive and not helpful. Being rich like Oprah lends itself to far, far more privilege than being white

A few things here:

1) I don't see any racism on the part of the cops. I see a large and powerful individual who is resisting arrest.

2) They ask if he's on something and he says no. We know for sure he was on Fentanyl and other narcotics. This would have been helpful to know

3) Why did it take another country to release this video? Why did Keith Ellison only release an edited video to Americans?

I think the cops should be tried for using excessive force and should receive a fair trial and be judged by a jury of their peers. My guess is that they'll be convicted of something but their jailtime will be far less that what will appease the BLM crew.

I also do not see racial injustice here. I see a teaching moment for anyone else who's arrested by cops: do as they say. Don't resist. If you do you may end up dead.

Seems like this video should've been made available waaaaaaay sooner.

The Daily Mail claims this was "leaked" to them. One must wonder if that was done so to specifically circumvent the US media's (and other parties) desire to only show what had previously been released here.

They need to quit playing games and release the whole video.

The company needs to change its name to "Wokeplace Answers"....

We now live in a society where no matter what a white person says, it is wrong...but if they say nothing, that too is wrong.

I went to a Mexican Restaurant years ago and wore a sombrero. Was I racist for allowing the waitress to place the hat on my head while I was drinking my delicious margarita?

There are some comfort zones that need never be stepped out of. Get over it.

I think he did tell them he was on drugs.
George Floyd transcript: Read it in full here

George Floyd: Yes, I was just 'Hooping' earlier.

I really don't think he was talking about basketball.

What could "Hooping" be slang for in that context? Please refer to definitions #2-5 Urban Dictionary: Hooping (Spoiler: Hooping means you shoved it up your butt).

The defense will use this in court.

Speculations on how that will play out in court aside, for now I'll defer to our resident VolNation members with LE experience.

LE: You are questioning someone exhibiting erratic behavior about using narcotics/drugs, point out to him he's foaming at the mouth, and he tells you he's been "Hooping";
Are you aware of the words slang usage?
How do you interpret that?
Do you think he's literally trying to tell you he'd been playing basketball?

I only date very light skinned black chicks. Is that racist? Just don't want my current half black half asian half white girlfriend to be dating a hate monger.
