You can't be serious....

It's just an example. There's a million things about Oprah that the clerk could have had something against beside her skin. To assume it was that is to see yourself as a black person before you see yourself as a person first. You're always gonna see racism in everything if you take that sort of attitude, even when it's not appropriate. This shyt happens all the time obviously but there is zero evidence in this account of the story that it was racism. So why call it that? There's no way of knowing what the real reason was based on what is reported.

How you know it's racism though? Maybe she just didn't look posh because of her clothes. This is such sensational victim bullshyt. There's a million reasons why someone could turn another person down. To assume it is because of your skin color is to make yourself a victim. Oprah should know better by now..
Watch the video, the owner of the store is coppin pleas and none of those pleas was "bu bu bu but she didn't look posh". Nice try tho, dumb ass.

"She was denied service at a handbag shop, with a shop assistant telling her the bags were "too expensive" for her".

:dahell: That is BEYOND offensive. Who would say that to a customer without knowing if that customer could afford it or not? Yes it's racism. I would've made a statement if that happened to me. I would've bought that store and fired you.
This nikka don't know whether he wants to troll or keep it trill.

You have a point but the shyt us blacks went through makes it conditioned for us to think that it was racism. Why and how should we think any other way.

I would want to do that but then I would think about it for a second.
:ohhh: "Im worth a few billion...she works as a sales woman. What do I have to prove to her :heh:"

I would just walk out and say something light like, Im worth a lot of money and your boss will hear about this and then I would walk out and publicly shame the store.
