The media mogul spoke to the BBC about the racism of the past that still exists today and how no one is above it. ‘There’s a level of disrespect for the office that occurs ... because he’s African American,’ she said of Obama. Winfrey talked about race-based disrespect of Presidend Obama to the BBC: ‘There's no question about that.
