Well I just lost all respect for Oprah..
Apparently while in Paris she went to go into a store after it had closed and got turned away and is now crying rasism because she didn't get special treament for being rich and famous.

She says people were still shopping. The store says they were prepairing for a PR event.
It boils down to 'OMG, I HAVE MONEY, TREAT ME SPECIAL!' and 'OMG SHIT HAPPENS TO ME CAUSE I'M BLACK!!!'
She's also saying that the store's appology doesn't count because they act like nothing offencive happened. AKA, I'm always right syndrome....
And honestly? If being turned away from a store that's CLOSED is the most humiliating thing that's ever happened to you? You should consider yourself lucky... If you get turned away from a store that's OPEN, THEN you can bitch....
Too much of the world revolves around people with big names and big money and people who cry out opression when they don't get the world handed to them on a silver platter.
