And for the third time Oprah compares St. Skittles To Emmett Till.
Via Mediaite:
… Expanding on the Emmett Till analogy she employed a week ago, Winfrey said, “the truth of the matter is Emmett Till became a symbol for those times as Trayvon Martin became a symbol for this time. There are multiple Trayvon Martins whose names never make the newspapers or the headlines.”
Responding to a question about the juror in the George Zimmerman trial who thought race was not a part of the case at all, Winfrey said, “A lot of people, if they think they’re not using the ‘n- word’ themselves, they actually, physically are not using the ‘n-word’ themselves and do not harbor ill will towards black people, that it’s not racist. But, you know, to me it’s ridiculous to look at that case and not to think that race was involved.”
