#1
Oprah Winfrey urged voters to make history by backing Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams in next week’s election, saying she refuses to allow the sacrifices of those who were "lynched" and "oppressed" to be "in vain."

...and never mind that inconvenient little detail that it was the Democrats (and their KKK brownshirts) who did the lynching and oppressing.

#2 Oprah, you are worse than the KKK. They were honest about being worthless subhuman vermin at least. You are just showing the whip to keep your own people on the slave masters plantation.

#4 she tries to become the nation’s first black female governor

The time when persons judged by the content of their character - not the color of their skin, are not here yet.

#6 Lynchings? That tends to be a Democrat thing. Oprah, does Justice Thomas, Herman Cain, and Justice Kavanaugh count as lynchings or attempted lynchings?

#7 Supposedly, Oprah has "temporarily" stepped down from her job at CBS's 60 Minutes. But I'm sure she'll be back. I think we can therefore assume that 60 Minutes in particular, and CBS in general, is about as objective and impartial in their news reporting as George Stephanopoulos at ABC, which is about as objective and impartial as Hillary Clinton, every bit as objective and impartial as Stacey Abrams. In other words, CBS is nothing more than a propaganda outlet for the Democrat Party.

#9 According to Wiki, the last lynching of a black man was 1918. Two others were killed in 1915, method not described,but implied.
Doesn't seem to be a problem for the 100 years or so....
