Go Ted!!!!
Ted Cruz condemns Oprah comments on White privilege: 'Utter, racist BS'Sen. Ted Cruz condemned comments that media mogul Oprah Winfrey made about White privilege and succeeding as a person of color on her new Apple TV+ series, saying in a tweet early Thursday morning that her points were "utter, racist BS."
"Billionaire Oprah lectures the rest of us," Cruz, R-Texas, said before quoting some of the comments Winfrey made in the first episode of the series, titled "The Oprah Conversation." He added: "What utter, racist BS."
he episode featured former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho, who hosts a Youtube series called "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man." During a conversation on White privilege in the episode, which premiered last Thursday, one of the guests on the show said that many White people grow up without privilege or power. Winfrey then went on to make the comments that upset Cruz, and others on social media.
"There are White people who are not as powerful as the system of White people -- the caste system that's been put in place. But they still, no matter where they are on the rung or the ladder of success, they still have their whiteness," Winfrey said.
Also during the episode, Winfrey said of White privilege's meaning: "You still have your whiteness. That's what the term 'White privilege' is. It means that whiteness still gives you an advantage, no matter what."
Cruz was one of many to criticize the comments by the media mogul. Trump-supporting "Dilbert" cartoonist Scott Adams and others also weighed in.............
