Wayne Allyn Root: Oprahs Golden Globes Speech Was Designed To Stir Up Racism, Hatred And Division

[Initech]

Right-wing radio host, commentator, conspiracy theorist and Donald Trump–obsessed sycophant Wayne Allyn Root kicked off his program yesterday by ripping Oprah Winfrey for daring to mention the rape of Recy Taylor in the speech that she delivered during the Golden Globes.

Taylor, who recently passed away, was a black woman who had been abducted and raped by several white men in 1944, but two all-white, all-male juries refused to indict the men responsible and none of them were ever punished.

Root was outraged that Winfrey would dare to bring up this case, insisting that instances of white men raping black women almost never happen and that the only reason she cited it was in order to “stir up racism, hatred and division.”

“That’s a uniter statement, isn’t it?” he asked, sarcastically. “That is so uniting. First of all, why does the color matter, Oprah? Why did you bring up a man raping a woman or women? Why it is a white man raping a black woman? Why? Why would you bring that up unless your looking to stir up racism, hatred and division. Why would you bring that up?”

“I’ve seen the FBI statistics,” he continued. “It hardly ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever happens. There is lots of the reverse; there are lots of cases of black people committing crimes against white people and against Hispanic people and against black people—heck, on the streets of Chicago, it’s black against black all day long. There are lots of black rapists.”

3. The a-hole knows nothing of history. How does he think AAs got to be so many shades of brown?

It was rape of enslaved women by guess who.

5. Ignorance is NOT Bliss Wayne Allyn Root.....

did he forget all the children by Black female slaves during the years preceeding the American Civil war gave birth to by their White Owners? The raping of Black women had been going on for centuries when the first Africans were brought to this country going back to the early 17th centuries, and before in other parts of the Caribbean.

The mention of the Recy Taylor incident by Oprah illustrated the mere thought that skin color did indeed determine one's worth, and justice was against said ideology. Standing up to injustice is a virtue lacking today in many people.

It is people like Root who wants to keep it that way. "Don't speak up! Who will believe you?"

6. It's all about RACE.

His Question: “First of all, why does the color matter, Oprah? Why did you bring up a man raping a woman or women? Why it is a white man raping a black woman? Why? Why would you bring that up unless your looking to stir up racism, hatred and division. Why would you bring that up?”

Answer: Because the American system of justice let the rapists walk away from such a horrific crime BECAUSE they were WHITE and the victim was BLACK.

The Willie Horton ads were about RACE.

The Southern Strategy was about RACE.

Reagan's lie about black welfare queens was about RACE.

White Privilege is about RACE.

FoxNews, InfoWars, Limbaugh, republicans, Alex Jones, Karl Rove, and this Nut of the Day all feed and thrive on RACE . . . and RACISM.
