"While news broke of yet another philanthropic endeavor involving Oprah Winfrey, comedian Jackie Mason was busy on MSNBC condemning the television mogul for stating in previous comments that racism still exists in America.

Appearing Tuesday on the show “Countdown with Keith Olbermann,” Mason was asked to comment on Mel Gibson and his drunken, anti-Semitic rant duringa traffic stop in Malibu. When asked about the current level of bigotry and racism against Jews, the Jewish comic responded: "Please, there's very little bigotry against Jews in this country anymore, or racism against blacks. Oprah Winfrey stands up and says, 'This is a racist society.'
She's got billions. You got a dollar and a quarter, but it's a racist society. She's a sick yenta." (Yenta: Yiddish for a gossiping busybody in everybody’s business.)"

As Lyfe Jennings penned, "must be nice." Must be nice to live in oblivion or rather have the option to choose to believe things like racism dont exist. People of color are not afforded that kind of luxury. Just like women are not afforded the luxury of believing sexism doesnt exist.
