Coffee Talk: Stacey Dash Criticizes Oprah Over Trayvon Martin Comment

See what flavor brew we’re sipping on:

• Stacey Dash is causing yet another uproar on Twitter. The conservative actress publicly shamed Oprah for her comments about Trayvon Martin’s death. A few weeks ago, the media mogul compared Martin’s death to Emmett Till’s murder in 1955. Dash didn’t like the comparison and felt the need to express her views. “If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing—Malcolm X,” tweeted Dash. She then followed up with a link to the Fox News story in which Oprah compares the murders. “Shame on you @Oprah,” said Dash. The actress is no stranger to controversial comments, this summer she caught flack for backing Paula Deen and last year she drew criticism for supporting former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
