“What should I ask the president at this stupid Jeffrey breakfast,” Pascal huffs in an e-mail to Rudin.
“Would he like to finance some movies,” Rudin suggests.
“I doubt it,” responds Pascal. “Should I ask him if he liked DJANGO?” she adds, not-so-randomly referencing Quentin Tarrantino’s brutal, 2012 movie about slavery and revenge.
Rudin is more than game, piping in, “12 YEARS,” a reference to the powerful, Academy Award-winning historical drama “12 Years A Slave” from 2013.
“Or the butler. Or think like a man,” Pascal chimes in. “The Butler,” from 2013, depicts an African-American butler in the White House, and “Think Like A Man” is a 2012 romantic comedy about four African-American couples.
Rudin has one last suggestion for the commander-in-chief’s favorite flicks list.
“Ride-along. I bet he likes Kevin Hart,” he answers. “Ride Along” was a 2014 action comedy starring Hart and the rapper-actor Ice Cube.
The nauseating exchange is just the latest publicity soaking for Sony in a month-long, tsunami-like deluge of often-embarrassing in-house studio document leaks, all hacked and uploaded to public file-sharing sites by an anonymous group calling itself “Guardians of Peace.”

The rhetoric of billionaires shouldn't really be taken seriously...
I'm not generalising all of them, but I am talking about most of them.
She is no different.
The emails are disgusting, but we know racism exists, and as backwards as it is we know some people actually love to be that way inclined.
It's good to out these people, but it's a slippery slope towards a race war that only a few people will benefit from.
And those few are billionaires.

I have watched the TMZ piece twice. Maybe I missed a millisec or two, but I fail to see you point with that clip. I'm no fan of Oprah, I would say that she spoke wisely on both clips.
Where's your argument? Can you spell it out for me? I tend to be blind, deaf and stupid some days, sometimes all on the same day and maybe this is one of them.

Is sony's business mainly employed by barrack obama?
I do agree that her reasoning to not address is are hypocritical but I don't think context of what was said was anything close
Sounds like they could of just been trying to drop the "Look what we have done in the past, give us money and we will make more like this"
Thought we weren't suppose to stop talking about things like this anyway? You know lets leave race out of stuff?

I said she was being a hypocrite did I not?
I don't get why she is raciest though, one of the people is clearly white that she is defending.

Well I said the first time she is begin hypocritical, sterling's tape was obtained a sketchy way so she should have no problem commenting on this.
Seems funny though, speaks on something and it's an issue.
Then doesn't speak on something and its an issue.
Must be cause the other guy has dark skin.
Could you just answer yes or no if that is the point you are getting at? Cause the one guy has dark skin that she is now raciest?

I don't know why we keep going back to the hypocrisy thing when I already said she is being a hypocrite.
I am asking how this proves she is a raciest.
Is it cause she didn't comment on this and it involves a man that has some color?
I don't feel guilty about being white, that is dumb. Not sure what that has to do with anything though
