Revealed: George Zimmerman ally called Oprah a ‘N**ger’ on white supremacist radio show

Source: Raw Story

Frank Taaffe, the Florida man who has made a name for himself appearing on cable news shows to defend George Zimmerman, hosted a radio show geared toward white supremacists, Mother Jones reported on Wednesday.

A progressive activist group, Political Research Associates, posted audio on Tuesday on Tuesday from an October 2013 segment of Taaffe’s show, “Standing Our Ground,” which aired on the White Voice Network. The network reportedly devotes itself to “media, news, and information for White people against White genocide.”

In the segment, Taaffe and co-host Joe Adams debate whether media mogul Oprah Winfrey can be considered a “n**ger.”

“To me she wouldn’t,” said Adams, who wrote a book called the “Save White People Handbook.”

They are coming out from under the rocks, have been there this entire time, and they are spreading their bigotry.

Fuck this person. Fuck them to hell.

Caller: I think I did use the name Oprah Winfrey, so would Oprah Winfrey qualify as a nigger to you?

Joseph Adams: To me she wouldn’t.

Frank Taaffe: I think she is.

Joseph Adams: Frank you go first, then.

Frank Taaffe: “Yeah, she’s a nigger because she keeps spewing out all that bullshit. She goes over to Switzerland and she says that the lady didn’t want to share a handbag because she thought that she couldn’t afford it, and she keeps just doing what she’s doing. She keeps stirring the pot. She keeps trying to promote her boy Obama. You know, Obama could do no wrong.

You know, it’s birds of a feather, they flock together and stick together, and to me, she’s a nigger.

Oprah Winfrey’s a nigger.

She’s a nigger.”


Fuck you, you fucker. Say that in front of me and see what the fuck happens next, you sick fuck.

someone guy asked me for money once, and when i said no, he called me the n-word. i told him: "i am an n-word who is not giving you any money." idiots can "debate" all they like...i am sure oprah won't give them a thought.

That's what your post seems to suggest. Would you say the same about Rupert Murdoch? He's even richer.

When has a mere swear word (NOT a racial slur) ever caused anyone to be enslaved, or murdered? Have some perspective for God's sake! Sometimes ugly words are necessary.

Taaffe or Joe would call any Black (male, excepting Clarence Thomas of course) that to their face? Doing it from the safety of the radio seems kind of cowardly.

It should be unconstitutional? Really? People should go to jail for it?

The constitution has a little item in it called freedom of speech.

would ignore him, and his fanboys, except for the occasional alert if he is in the area. Like you would with any snake.

If Taffe helped fuel Zimmerman's suspicion of young black males in any way, arguably he's an accessory to Trayvon's death.

And I'm lily-fucking-white myself so don't even bother to alert on this!

Where we are all so color blind people want to abolish quotas so that some might have a chance to get into college or certain jobs. What is the name of that law?

. Bullshit. Racism in the South seems worse than ever. The only thing worse than having this in my face is having it underground, disguised, and denied. I'd rather see it coming and know that our suspicions are validated.
