Oprah clearly felt that she was being excluded due to her color. I'm not taking sides with anyone. I wasn't there, don't know what happened, and realize that a lot of people rush to judgement when there is no actual basis for the perceived offense.

Are you playing the race card in favor of Oprah? She and her entourage have the privleged-class gall to show up, without notice, 15 minutes PAST closing time AND when the store is already engaged in a scheduled event and you play race card? I suppose Hermes management should have dropped everything, saying in effect, "Oh, you're a celebrity. You're wealthy. We'll ruin everyone else's night so you can be indulged. Please, oh please, let us kiss your ample American a**" Of course, I suspect the whole story is an Internet sham. After all, here's a black woman who grew up in the south and she claims this is most humilated she's been in her entire life? I know the south of her childhood was not the south of Beverly Hills (as they might say in France). -Chris Lawson > That's a shame in that Oprah has enough money to buy Leica several > times over.
