Rae Dawn Chong’s father, Tommy, is defending his daughter following her comments that talkshow monguel Oprah Winfrey would have been a “field n***er” in slave days.
Rae Dawn’s racist comments surfaced after audio from an interview she gave with Matty P’s Radio Happy Hour to discuss her role in Commando, which Winfrey held a role in.
Raw Dawn called Winfrey a “total bioootch” and noting, “If you look at the way [Oprah] looks, she looks like 60 years ago she would have been a housekeeper luckily. She would have not been a house n**ger she would have been a field n**ger.”
Tommy is coming to the defense of his daughter telling TMZ, “If you think of what [Rae] said, she said back in the day Oprah would be working in the field because she's not that beautiful ... whereas if you're beautiful, you're part of the master's bedroom."
He adds, "Knowing Oprah, she would probably read [Rae's comments] and just chuckle and probably agree with Rae Dawn ... she probably would be working in the field."
Oprah has not responded to the comments made by Rae Dawn or her father.
