Clearly, Oprah Winfrey is doing her part to keep America divided right before the election.
It started with her strange “white shame” special on Apple+TV, where a billionaire black woman blamed all white people for keeping minorities down.
What?
It’s an interesting message when you think about it.
Here’s a minority woman with an amazing success story, and instead of focusing on that message and inspiring other minorities with her story, she flips the script and goes all full-blown negative and “victimhood.”
That’s not to say there’s n0t a lot of unfairness in the world. Of course there is. But it’s interesting how the Democrats approach “unfairness;” they don’t lift people up with hope, they keep then in the cycle with defeat and despair.
Oprah received a lot of backlash for that weird “white shame” special, but that hasn’t deterred her from pushing out more “racially charged” messaging.
As a matter of fact, she’s doubling down and going “all-in” on her message of division and defeat.

Oprah has purchased 26 billboards all across Kentucky, demanding that the officers involved in the Breonna Taylor shooting be arrested and charged with murder, she then included a “racially charged” quote on the billboard, somehow suggesting the shooting of Breonna Taylor was “racially motivated.”
So, now, with her billboards, Oprah is once again making police seem like racists killers with absolutely no evidence of that whatsoever.
Oprah Winfrey launched a massive billboard campaign across Louisville, Kentucky, demanding the arrest of the police officers involved in the March 2020 shooting death of Breonna Taylor.
Winfrey’s “O Magazine” announced that it erected 26 billboards—one for each year of Taylor’s life—to spotlight her death.
“Demand that the police involved in killing Breonna Taylor be arrested and charged,” the billboard says.
The billboard also includes a race-baiting quote from Oprah: “If you turn a blind eye to racism, you become an accomplice to it.”
It bears noting that Winfrey has not condemned Democrat Joe Biden for his racist remark that all black people are the same. She has also not disavowed Biden for saying “You Ain’t Black!” if you don’t vote for him.
While Breonna Taylor’s death was tragic and senseless, there is no evidence to suggest that it was racially-motivated.
As a billionaire media mogul, Winfrey is well aware that blaming racism for Taylor’s death is fueling the race war we’re seeing across the country right now. Just because a cop is bad does not mean he’s racist.
I have to admit, it feels like Oprah, who once seemed very even keel and fair and balanced, has gotten “radicalized” and is going full-blown “BLM propaganda.”
It’s one thing to call for an investigation or ask questions about shooting or be suspicious. It’s quite another to leap from that to “racist cops” killing innocent people.
That sort of messaging from someone like Oprah really tells you what direction this country is headed and it’s not good.
As sad as it is that Breonna Taylor was killed, I find it curious that folks aren’t blaming the drug-dealing boyfriend who opened fire on the police, who then shot back to defend themselves.
Taylor was shot 5 times and died in her hallway.
The police had a “no-knock” warrant to enter Taylor’s home, meaning they could go in unannounced. However, they still announced themselves as they entered the home and that’s when the drug-dealing boyfriend shot and hit an officer in the leg.
For Oprah to try and turn this into a “racist cop shooting” is really disgusting. It’s fine if you want to question their tactics, or how they entered, or question policies, but to just go to that “racist place” really makes Oprah feel like the next “Al Sharpton.”
