Topic: There was 'facial profilin' a-goin' on

[Pandora]

... compare Oprah’s horrific tale of racit (sic) woe — I hope she’s able to endure, even under withering attack for being a diva, and having no Swiss Al Sharpton around to foment race riots and demand “justice” be done to the hateful sales clerk with the racist heart, and no Swiss Jesse Jackson around to try to shake down the store in exchange for a smoothing over  of the incident and some positive publicity — to the tale of Duck Dynasty star Jase Robertson, who was escorted out of a New York hotel, a victim of what he called “facial profiling”:

    Robertson and other members of his family were in New York City promoting the fourth season of their hit A&E reality show. The network put the family up in the swanky hotel across from Central Park.

    Apparently one Trump International Hotel staff member was not accustomed to seeing a fully bearded guest wearing camouflage pants.

    “I asked them where the bathroom was and he said, ‘Right this way, sir,’” Robertson told the hosts of the television show ‘Live with Kelly and Michael.’ “He said, ‘Right this way, sir.’ He walked me outside, pointed down the road and said, ‘Good luck.’”

    The hosts appeared stunned by the story – but Robertson smiled and said he took it in stride.

    “I think it was a facial profiling deal,” he said.

    Robertson’s brother, Al, told Fox News the family is getting a good laugh out of the case of mistaken identity.

    “He assumed Jase was some homeless guy,” he said. “This is not our first rodeo — which is another reason I stay beardless.”

    Ironically, it’s not the first time the men of the Louisiana family have been mistaken for homeless people.

    “One time, we were in New York City and people put money in Willie’s coffee cup,” he said. “Dad was speaking at a church once and one of the members showed him where the homeless shelter was.”

    The Robertsons said they were “absolutely not offended” by the incident and said they love staying at Trump Hotel.

    “We were laughing — wait until the Donald hears about this,” he said.

    And for what it’s worth, they hope the staff member doesn’t get in trouble.

    “He was just as nice as he could be — escorting Jase to the park,” Al said. “And honestly, if I was in his shoes — I’d have done the same thing.”

Wednesday’s season premier of Duck Dynasty drew 14 million viewers.  Which is  just shy of the number of times Oprah Winfrey has played the racial victim card, mentioned a diet, or eaten a rack of ribs “as an emotional crutch.”

Ironically, it’s the Duck Dynasty crowd that is pushing back against the Oprahfication of America.  Which is why they draw 14 million viewers to A&E, and Oprah’s channel is a vanity project riddled with heavy-handed liberal propaganda narratives done as “entertainment”.

They weren't offended. They'll have to change that attitude if they want to get any where in this world.

Just joking. All of the guys on Duck Dynasty are down to earth, God fearing people. I wish we had more like that on TV and in real life.

Re; Oprah's latest foray into rayciss victimhood, I heard Dennis Prager make a couple really good points.

1st, racism and bigotry indicates that one wishes someone else ill will because they are different.

Assume that the woman whom Oprah accuses of racism actaully DID suggest that the handbag she was considering was too expensive. Black people are very rare in Switzerland, and Black people who can afford a handbag costing tens of thousands of dollars are even more rare. Just because the woman suggested a different bag doesn't mean she wished Oprah ill will. She was just operating from within her own experience.

2nd, good sales clerks with the best interest of the customer in mind will suggest a lower-priced item if they deem that an item of better value more suits your needs, and most people appreciate that gesture.

I have often appreciated it when I am considering an expensive item, a sales clerk asks me questions, and then based on my answers, he or she guides me to a less expensive product.

But not Oprah. What a bitch.

From what else I've read about the incident, that's exactly what the clerk had in mind.  Apparently, Jennifer Aniston puts out a line of bags, one of which is similar to the purse in question but less expensive.

You don't know the half of it.  She has or had a radio show on XM Radio with her gal-pal (whose name I do not recall) where I've heard her let out her "inner" racist in clips played by other channels by way of advertisement.
