Oprah Winfrey plans to discuss Hermes Paris shop incident on television.
  • "Winfrey believes she would have been admitted to the store had she been a white celebrity."
  • Aha! Now we see the real issue - the divine right of celebrities!!
  • Her belief seems to be purely hypothetical. Perhaps Celine Dion would have been turned away, perhaps not. How could anyone say? Frankly, I don't know how she could form that belief at all, and there is really no reason I can see for Oprah to play the race card, unless there is more to the incident than what is already known.
  • (Amazingly - the store clerks admit that they recognized her, but still turned her away!)
