Open Post: Oprah Admits She Wanted to Be White

The ReadyWriter

Media mogul Oprah Winfrey once admitted she wanted to be white, which explains a lot.

Oprah, 65, made headlines last week when she interviewed Michael Jackson’s two accusers Wade Robson and James Safechuck in her special called “After Neverland”. Both men appeared in the controversial HBO documentary Leaving Neverland, in which they claimed Jackson molested them as youngsters.

Jackson died of respiratory and cardiac arrest following a propofol overdose in 2009 at age 50.

Oprah’s interview with Robson and Safechuck was empathetic and supportive. She even denounced Jackson who was acquitted of similar accusations after a 14-week molestation trial in 2005.

Now an old Oprah interview has resurfaced in the Internet graveyard where nothing stays buried forever.

In the old Barbara Walters interview, that originally aired in 1988, Oprah explained that she once wished she was white.

    1. That ain’t the only reason we gon ride her trifling hypocritical ass.
      There’s literally over a dozen of pictures with her and Harvey Weinstein even one where he’s kissing her. She hasn’t made a statement about his behavior or anything but everyone who associated with or worked with R. Kelly has been dragged in the mud. seriously?

  3. I have wished that on an occasion or two. I think we all have wanted to be something or someone else at some point in our life.

  6. I wanted white girl hair because I thought it would be easier to manage. I never got it. 🙂
    Oprah is a pawn, like Al Sharpton. Don’t y’all see Sharpton is quiet while black men are being shot and killed all over this country 😡 they gave him a media position and shut him the fuck up!!!~

  8. Even as a white guy, I find Oprah sometime being ‘extra white’ like in the country club snob sense that I can’t stand, if that makes sense.

  13. She’s probably not the only black person who has had that thought, thinking being white their life would have been easier, less complicated. Many will never acknowledge it though.

  14. I respect Oprah as a business woman but I actually believe Monique when she says she’s a shady person who will do anything for ratings…

  16. Oprah is what is wrong with black society. They feel the need to shit on their own skin folk in order to get in where they fit in. Yes being a sellout is very lucrative these days. But at the end of the day we should use her as an example of what happens when you are a complete and utter sellout. Read you bible and it will tell you about gaining the world and losing your soul. Oprah is a soulless demonic woman.
