Oprah Playing the Race Card

What happens when a black celebrity shows up to a Parisian salon after it's closed and is denied entry? She plays the race card. (Thanks to BF for the link.)

A spokeswoman at Winfrey's Harpo Productions confirmed the Daily News version of the story, saying that the incident was "Oprah's 'Crash' moment" -- a reference to the film in which racism unfolds in complex, subtle and surprising interactions. Winfrey also contacted Hermes' U.S. president to inform him of the incident. She plans to tell the story on her show when it returns from hiatus in September.

I have some advice for Oprah: learn how to tell time!
