I just can’t fathom why she is saying all the things she is saying with so many details.
Why has any white person ever said hateful shit about Jews?
And her exact spiel is god damned medieval. I’m surprised she didn’t add the part about poisoning the town well.
It seems to have aired in May 1989. Here’s an article that talks about the backlash, and the New York Times covered it at the time too.
Excellent links.
Resolves a lot.
The psychiatric diagnosis of Rachel tracks.
How in the hell could Oprah have even found her?
That’s a great question!
In the 90s (at least) I remember you could call in to different shows with your drama or weird problems, for a “chance” to be on the show. Sometimes they’d have specific subjects, like “are you stuck in an unconventional relationship? We’d like to hear from you.”
So it’s plausible she just called the show.
It’s a super weird clip.
