She's pretty subserviant to the white male dominated media machine that is out to dissolve the black family structure, so I'm gonna have to let that title stand.
If she got into a fight with Condoleeza over George W, all would be complete.

this from the man who sells stereotypes while living in white neighborhoods, consuming white products, and who knows good and darn well that he's making his money primarily from white consumers. he's even worse than Oprah, by his own standards.

Wait,,,wasn't all of this hoopla last year though? Correct me if I'm wrong, somebody.

And word out to NP: All of them are bunch of Uncle Tom bufoons trying to get the bigger piece of the pie IMHO. The form is new but the method is old, its as House Niggerish as you wanna get, it happens to have a fancier outlook on it.

No, he's at it uh-gain. his attention whoreing never seems to stop.

Using his own stupic analogy, isn't what Oprah does on her shows the outside of her? Why does he think he knows what she is on the inside?

NDRU said:

Your actions define peoples' perceptions of you. 50 Cent is just as much of a coon as Oprah is an oreo but he never talks about selling a destructive image to the community and helping reinforce stereotypes initiated by the media. They are both guilty in my eyes. Oprah's humanitarian contributions don't change that, either.

How does catering to middle aged white american women
difer from catering to middle aged black american women?
What is it Oprah should be doing differently if
she wants to make her target audience black middle aged american women?

I always thought she catered mostly to women. Period. I know or know of enough non-white women who watch or are interested in her topics or who have even been in the audience.

Geez, everyone's guilty it seems.

I truly believe that Oprah uses her "power" in a positive way. What is she doing wrong? I just don't see it. I think she's got a really great show that touches on countless subjects, whether they are frivolous, or about things that really matter in the world. Who cares who watches it and what her audience is? She's catering to PEOPLE. Why should she limit herself?

I used to really dislike her show because I felt she was insincere, but lately she's really grown on me and I feel like she's really trying to help a lot of people. That's more than I can say for myself and many others.

I was always accused of being a coconut (brown on the outside, white on the inside)..it's all bullshit..you are who you are...

When 50 opens a school for African children with his own millions..then he can comment...what an ashole

Harlepolis said:

"them" being MCs or "them" being black entertainers?

I don't blame anyone for trying to make that money in America. As you say, it's how you do it. I have more problems with Jackson than Winfrey.

namepeace said:

Oprah and Curtis It happens to be more obevious on Fitty than Harpo though.

I stand corrected on the "ALL" statement coz lawd knows there're many who don't try to "fit the bill" so to speak.

minneapolisgenius said:

I agree, I think the only thing she's guilty of is bad taste (Tom Cruise & Julia Roberts) & maybe sheltering herself a bit.

But for 50 to essentially be saying that black people aren't into what Oprah is into (women's issues, child protection, comfy sweats, & John Travolta) sounds like he's generalizing too much.

NDRU said:

John Travolta. And anyone making the sort of money she does, isn't really living in the "real world" anymore, I can agree to that. I just don't see what the big deal is as far as what 10 cents is saying.

As if he's anyone credible anyway.

NDRU said:

A bit? Here's where her sheltered life and bad taste combine - she thinks Tyler Perry makes "transcendent" art.
