During an interview with the BBC in 2013, Winfrey infamously stated that older white people, "just have to die," in order to solve racism.[5][6][7][8] Snopes and The Weekly Standard bizarrely defended these comments.[9][10] In 2020, Winfrey accused lower-class white people of possessing "white privilege."[11]
