why do you hate Oprah?

[username]

She's a cunt that perpetuates racism for her own gain.

You think she “perpetuates racism for her own gain”?! That's an incredible thing to say! Are you saying she somehow encourages racism in general for financial gain? An example of this would be interesting to back that statement up?

I just don't understand what she's done to be on the receiving end of such vitriol? There are people in there that defended George Zimmerman yet they hate Oprah and Zimmerman fucking shot and killed a teenager!

That's quite the mental leap from hating a billionaire to an idiot on the street who shot a kid carrying skittles and iced tea. I'm not going to tackle that mixed metaphor.

Let's get something straight. It's okay to "build up" your own race provided you're a minority. You're not allowed to say certain words to them (like the "n" word) even though they use it all the time, some people still fight for affirmative action in schools, universities and jobs which often leaves the better qualified white person in the shitter just because of the color of their skin. So, how about along with the NAACP, we form a NAAWP. How do you think that would go over?

Oprah endorsed a presidential candidate publicly for the first time when Obama ran. You think it's just coincidental that he was the first black candidate in contention for the White House?

I don't care what she does in Africa but without researching it, I bet any donations/charities etc. that she supports in the U.S. are geared towards black people.

Oprah subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) perpetuates the belief that black people are "victims". To the extent black people continue to do that among themselves, they're creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. There's a HUGE amount of black on black crime, drug use etc. in the United States. Several prominent, successful black people have chided their own race for, well, acting stupid and playing the victim. There are others but my favorite is Bill Cosby (below). Oprah sucks and she is racist.

Bill wrote this years ago. Below that is a link to a more recent speech he gave on the same subject. Black youth would benefit for more people who speak out like Bill.

We Cannot Blame the White People any Longer

By Dr. William Henry 'Bill' Cosby, Jr., Ed.D.

They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English.

I can't even talk the way these people talk:

"Why you ain't,
Where you is,
What he drive,
Where he stay,
Where he work,
Who you be...".
And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.

And then I heard the father talk.

Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.

In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.

People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an Education, and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around.

The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.

These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids.

$500 sneakers for what?

And they won't spend $200 for "Hooked on Phonics."

I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.

Where were you when he was 2?

Where were you when he was 12?

Where were you when he was 18, and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol?

And where is the father? Or who is his father?

People putting their clothes on backward. Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?

People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something?

Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles (piercings) going through her body?

What part of Africa did this come from?

We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa.

I say this all of the time — it would be like white people saying they are European-American — that is totally stupid.

I was born here, and so were my parents and grand parents and, very likely my great grandparents. I don't have any connection to Africa, no more than white Americans have to Germany, Scotland, England, Ireland, or the Netherlands.

The same applies to 99 percent of all the black Americans as regards to Africa — so stop, already!

With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap...and all of them are in jail.

Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem.

We have got to take the neighborhood back.

People used to be ashamed.

Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' — or men or whatever you call them now.

We have millionaire football players who cannot read.

We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs. We, as black folks, have to do a better job.

Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.

We have to start holding each other to a higher standard....
