LOL! Why do "people" get sooooo scared when Black people decide to do something honoring THEMSELVES? What are you afraid of? Were YOU gonna celebrate Black achievement? Nope. So why are you so worried about this? Is it going to take down America? Nope. So chill. Relax. Sheesh!

Oprah is done with Anita Baker and has been for many years. Anita has been scheduled to do the Oprah show couple times throughout the years and has been a no show every time.

I remember one time in 94/95 Oprah came out and said 'Well we where going to finally have Anita Baker on today but I was told she had the flu...that was 5 days ago..and apparently she still has the flu cuz she aint here'....she ended up scheduling Roberta Flack on show that also featured Gloria Estefan and Vanessa Williams.

Last year when Anita's comeback album was coming out..she turned down Oprah once again (I was told..this was the 4th time)....

So I'm sure Oprah thought..'why the hell should I invite her if she aint gonna show!'

peace

Ya know!

Like Eddie Murphy said in Boomerang,some people have natural fear of black people *period*

They can't help it and we(or some of us, to be fear) WON'T understand it

You gon' sit here and actualy explaaaaaiin from scratch why Oprah had to make a fuss about celebrating black people achievement to them? Why the bother?

Oprah is simply representin', no ifs or buts about it. Get it, cool. You don't get it, NEXT!!!!!

Hmmm, did anyone else find the show a bit racist/sexist?

I mean, I get it, I do. Black chics had a hard time makin' it back in the day. We know ALLLLL about it. But WTF already. Okay Oprah appreciates them making the way a bit easier for her and other black women. GREAT.....send them a thank you card. Or even go ahead.....Have a "Legends Ball". But WTF, DON'T TELEVISE IT!!!!!

I'm sure Fat Italian Men, Jewish Men w/big noses, Skinny white girls w/no titts, Latinos w/big asses, had a hard time makin' it in show bussiness too. I don't see any tributes to J LO for makin' fat asses cool.

But can you imagine what OPRAH or others would do if there was a televised PRIME TIME special called SKINNY WHITE GIRLS BALL?!?!?!?!
People would be ALLLL over it.

Fuck a dummy

All this time nobody complained about Black Entertaiment Television.

But I guess Harpo's lil' ol' televised event was the straw that broke the camel's back, huh?

Some of ya'll are priceless

I had heard that originally Oprah wasn't going to air this, but her friend Gail convinced her to. Probably why it was televised A YEAR later . . .

How do you LIVE IN AMERICA but you've never heard of Black Entertainment Television?

StoneCrib said:

I seriously never have, has it been around long? It's not on my cable listing and I have Comcast.....and that's nationwide rite? I dunno.....

Oh okay, I thought you were actually being serious. Maybe I offended you somehow, that you are acting so immaturely. Sorry.

I'm done with this topic, since you obviously to ignorrant to realize what I was trying to say in the first place.

Peace. Love.

And I come to a PRINCE SITE to discuss my love of Princes music w/others who appreciate him. Not to discuss cable stations. So THATS y I've never heard of it. And actually I have heard of BET not sure if it was here, maybe. But I didn't realize what it stood for.
