Oprah Invokes Lynching, Oppression in Campaign Speech for Stacey Abrams

[jimnyc]

Somehow, those who were lynched in the past have a connection to Stacey Abrams and being a governor today? All of these negative things done to black people in the past - those things won't have been in vain should Abrams win? Now THAT sounds like some racist shit IMO. :rolleyes:

Oprah Invokes Lynching, Oppression in Campaign Speech for Stacey Abrams

In a Thursday speech in the Republican-leaning suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, 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.”

Abrams is locked in a tight race with her Republican rival, Georgia secretary of state Brian Kemp, as she tries to become the nation’s first black female governor.

Oprah Winfrey praised Abrams as a “change-maker” who represents the values of all Georgians. The talk show icon, who rarely makes political endorsements, drew cheers when she said she’s a registered independent who was not in Georgia at anyone’s request.

“I paid to come here myself, and I approved this message,” Winfrey said, explaining that she tracked down Abrams’ cell phone number and called her to say she wanted to offer assistance in the final days of the campaign.

“I’m here today because of the men and because of the women who were lynched, who were humiliated, who were discriminated against, who were suppressed, who were repressed and oppressed,” Winfrey told attendees at the Cobb Civic Center Jennie T. Anderson Theatre. “I refuse to let their sacrifices be in vain.”

I wonder.

Does she also represent the Irish, Germans, Austrians, Italians that were
lynched, oppressed, discriminated against?

Or is this just another racist rant by a black racist entertainer, singularly towards whites?

Why does she not rant against the black on black gang and drug killings in the inner cities?

Just a thought....

I don't think blacks are EVER going to GET OVER this RACISM bit. I think they're TAUGHT from the time they're young by their PARENTS to HATE WHITEY.

But if they truly have it SO BAD here, then WHY don't they LEAVE? Why don't they go back to Africa, since they INSIST on being called AFRICAN Americans? I don't insist on being called IRISH American. This is a race that is PERPETUALLY pissed off. But what I think is, is that they've learned from past experience that when they cry RACISM, EVERYONE knuckles under and GIVES THEM WHAT THEY WANT, just to prove they're not racist. Like the sign in Yellowstone Park... "DON'T FEED THE BEARS"... the sign is there for a reason. They don't want the bears to learn that they get HAND OUTS from PEOPLE, because they'll then EXPECT hand outs, and when they don't GET THEM, they'll get VIOLENT.

Sound familiar? American politicians have created this black problem, and it's going to take a MAJOR effort, a PUSH BACK, and telling black people NO, just crying RACIST ISN'T going to GET YOU ANYWHERE. You're going to have to WORK for what you want now, like EVERYONE ELSE.

But... ya... when is that going to happen? Pfft... probably never. The dems NEED to keep them DEPENDENT on hand outs for VOTES, and the repubs are all still to SKEERD of being called RACIST.

Lyden B. Johnson:

I’ll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.”

Seems to me that Oprah is trying to take a page out of LBJ's playbook.

Like I was saying... How disgusting of all of them. :rolleyes: Using her fame and popularity to use disgusting tactics about lynching to bring about votes. :rolleyes:

That’s Weird–> Oprah Invokes “Lynching” By Democrats in Campaign Speech for Democrat Stacie Abrams

Oprah Winfrey invoked the lynching of blacks by Democrats in her campaign speech for Democrat Stacie Abrams Thursday in Georgia.

On September 28, 1868, a mob of Democrats massacred nearly 300 African-American Republicans in Opelousas, Louisiana. The savagery began when racist Democrats attacked a newspaper editor, a white Republican and schoolteacher for ex-slaves. Several African-Americans rushed to the assistance of their friend, and in response, Democrats went on a “Negro hunt,” killing every African-American (all of whom were Republicans) in the area they could find. (Via Grand Old Partisan)

Democrats murdered hundreds of black and white Republicans in the south.

Tuskegee Institute tracked the number of lynchings in the United States. They found that there were 4,743 lynchings in the US from 1882 to 1968. A majority of the lynchings took place in the Democratic South. One in four of the victims were white.

On Thursday Oprah Winfrey campaigned in Georgia for Democrat Stacie Abrams.
Oprah invoked images of lynchings in her support of the far left socialist candidate.

I have always despised that worthless biatch.. So typical, gained hundreds of millions in this nation that rewards those that strive to better themselves , and then trashes it to stay in good with the black mob of media, freebie gatherers and Hollywood assholes.
She is pure scum , wealthy but still ffing trash. I'd happily spit on her if she ever dared to step into my yard.--Tyr

Yes, it was fucked up and racist back then. But no one alive today was a slave, nor anyone alive today a slave owner. Save the victim bullshit and lynchings. :rolleyes:

I think black people are the most RACIST bunch on the planet. I really don't know why, but I'm beginning to think it really could have something to do with them also being about the lowest IQ race on the planet. They can't compete intellectually with the other races so they've learned that bitching, whining, pimping, pushing, playing hoops and/or running with a ball make them more money than actually attempting to get an education and working and competing with everyone else.

Sound harsh? Well... I think it's pretty close to the truth... https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenandHonest/comments/3evdd3/blacks_in_the_us_and_in_africa_consistently_score/

Why else are they so racist? I don't believe it's this they were slaves bit. I think that's an excuse. That was too long ago to matter.
