Texas Sen. Ted Cruz torched Winfrey for her “utter, racist BS” in a tweet.
Billionaire Oprah lectures the rest of us:
“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 utter, racist BS.

Many others slammed the hypocrisy of the billionaire media mogul whose current net worth is about $2.6 billion, according to Forbes.
Oprah Winfrey, a billionaire, is lecturing Americans that white people are keeping other races from succeeding in life. 😂 #ShutUp

More specifically, the media mogul focused on people’s “whiteness” as she looked at the “caste system” of America in an episode of her new Apple TV+ series, “The Oprah Conversation,” where she applauded the self-condemnation of her white guests.
The 66-year-old billionaire talk show host and producer is also backing the multimedia adaptation of the “1619 Project,” a deceptive effort by The New York Times Magazine to “reframe American history” around slavery. To expand on the race issue even more, Winfrey’s latest book club pick is Isabel Wilkerson’s “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents.”
One of the self-deprecating guests on the latest “The Oprah Conversation” was a man named Seth, who said he was Jewish and from New York and went on to expound on his “awakening” to his “racist” self.
“You’ve become ‘woke’ during this period, and realized in that awakening that you are racist, right?” Winfrey asked. “I just want to know how that happened.”
“I was born in the 70s. I was born and raised in Manhattan. I’ve always considered myself to be liberal. Now I’m not only a friend of people of color but also an advocate for [them], but this movement over the last month has been powerful,” he responded.
“I realized that I couldn’t be not racist,” he continued. “I realized that I either was a racist or an anti-racist, and I wasn’t — I’m not — an anti-racist.”
A woman named Lisa spoke of the “unconscious biases that white people — that we as white people — have.”
Acho chimed in eventually to explain the problems with being “completely white.”
“Here’s what I told my friends with their white children. I said, ‘Y’all live in a white cul-de-sac, in a white neighborhood, in a white city, in a white state. If you were not careful. your children will live their whole life white, and at 26, 27, they’ll end up being a part of the problem, because you just let them and allowed them to live a completely white, sheltered, and culture-less life,'” he said.
Conservative author, speaker and part of the Black Voices For Trump, David Harris Jr. slammed Winfrey and other “anti-God Marxists” for stoking division in the nation.
“She makes me sick,” he tweeted in response to the episode.
