FLASHBACK : Oprah Winfrey once said the cure for racism is for "All Old White People Are Gonna Have To Die"

'There are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, and they just have to die.'

Oprah Winfrey has said racism is still a problem around the world and the only way for it to end is for generations of racists to die out.

"People are still judged by their skin-color, and that's the problem." Yet in saying "all whites are racist" (and, does she KNOW what she is saying?! Must "DIE" because of it?!!). She, herself, is judging (the character; thoughts, words and deeds) of all white people by their skin-color!

In an interview with the BBC to coincide with the release of her latest film The Butler, the chat show host said generations had been 'marinated' in racism.

The 59-year-old added that President Obama was treated with disrespect because of the color of his skin and said she feels fortunate to have been born after segregation ended in the U.S.

There are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, and they just have to die.'

Winfrey, who has a starring role in The Butler, a film about an African-American who serves under eight Presidents in the White House, said she was excited to be part of the film project.

'I thought it was an important story for our time and particularly for young people who won't read the history,' Winfrey said, adding that 'people are ready to hear it'.
