dplomaticVal: It s mindboggling tht sm dummies here tht havnt evn seen the four walls of a classroom bfr are amongst the peeps ranting racism ,wht do u guys knw is racism?For pete's sake the salesgirl ws nvr in any way tryin to intimidate or feel superior to Winfrey because of her skin color!!!. The price of the bag Winfrey wntd to purchase was too exorbitant (equivalent to the price of a car). so the salesgirl ws only tryin to advise her as a client to go for a cheap affordable commodity because she nvr knew that Winfrey is a moneybag. so it is foolhardy for anyone to translate wht happened in zurich as racism.

Chinwem: Oprah was so cool, she left quietly
She should ve emptied the whole shop in the woman's presence
Ignorance is bliss......they just lost a potential customer
And why is the name of the shop not mentioned?
Name and shame them people

There are very few African American men in this country who haven't had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store. That includes me. There are very few African American men who haven't had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars. That happens to me -- at least before I was a senator. There are very few African Americans who haven't had the experience of getting on an elevator and a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she had a chance to get off. That happens often.

ZUBY77: The same thing happened to me in Amsterdam central in 2010.
I had entered into a Diamond shop and was looking at a particular stone through the Glass.
The manager walked past me and said
''You can't pay for that young man''..

I checked the price and it was €42.000.. ( Fourty two thousand Euros)

He was right.

Mr Aboki: Why not just leave the store, return with a buncha destitute blacks, have them clean out every darn item in the store, pay for it, buy up the building and turn it into a homeless shelter...




Boss!

Oprah's display of humility irrespective of how rich she is, should serve as a moral praxis 4 our 9ja ladies. Imagine what will be the reaction of a super rich 9ja woman after the assistant said that....
