How Dare Oprah Act Black?

It's always interesting to analyze what Victor Davis Hanson is trying to say. He constructs paragraphs of veiled allusion and implicit moral judgment, but tries to come across as a common sense sort of guy.

Here's his latest masterpiece, courtesy of the Corner:

"Oprah Winfrey's talk [...] seemed to be mimicking, through a sort of mock-wimpy intonation, those (mostly white elite?) feminists who were shocked about her endorsement of Obama."

Did I miss the memo? I thought Republicans everywhere had already expressed their concern at the 'identity politics' through which Democrats were trying to get women to vote for those who looked like them, i.e. women for Hilary? Haven't we heard so much about how craven the Democrat identity politics machine really is, and how much it's hurting the country?

"The problem with all that is that she created her $1 billion empire precisely by appealing to a mostly staid white suburban therapeutic audience, to whom she is used to talking in precisely the same flat-toned neutral manner that she was this weekend apparently mocking."

If mocking feminists is a "problem," then how do we explain the constant attacks on feminists from Republicans regarding their electoral stance? Isn't it reasonable to expose the hypocrisy of trying to tell another woman to vote female for no actual reason aside from her sex?

VDH seems to take issue that she's created a commercial empire by selling things using a certain tone, whereas she is now mocking that tone. This is an odd sort of envy by a man whose greatest commercial accomplishment is being a failed raisin farmer who inherited that property from his parents. His criticism carries with it an implicit disapproval of self-made African-American success catering to whites but daring to raise its voice against their masters' wishes.

In short: that poor black woman made money being all nice to rich white women, and now she's telling white women not to tell her who to vote for. How dare she? Doesn't she know where all that money came from?

It is, to be blunt, a a candid revelation of Hanson's inner monologue. It's a white world, and those black people who have actually succeeded had better know their role and shut their mouth.
