Oprah Lords Over White Folk, Talks Poop on XM

16. Well, well, well...The big "O" has just dropped off my list of people I would watch on tv., or buy her magazines, or anything else. I find her remarks racial and inexcusable. I have a bi-racial daughter and do not appreciate anyone making these types of remarks. Somewhere in her background she should appreciate the fact that there is white in those big 'ol jeans she shoves herself into. Ta, ta, Oprah! Thank god you can't have kids! They'd grow up to be like you.

17. Did you actually listen to the entire comment? or did you read what these racist pigs disected and angled for your stupid consumption? You - can't even think for yourselves! And you have the nerve to talk about Oprah's followers - (rolling eyes)

Oprah is discussing what her grandma said to her when she was a child. Oprah's grandma worked for some "nice white folks" back in the 1940s & 50s. Back then there were Jim Crow segretated laws. (Please pick up a book and read) Her grandma's only wish was for Orprah to work for some good ole white folks.

Sometimes race is relevant when discussing where things were v. where things are!

Stop acting like you don't play the race card - you do. Any time a black person is mentioned on TMZ ALMOST ALL OF THE COMMENTS ARE LITTERED WITH RACIAL SlURS. FuKKKing hypoKKKrits!

18. I am so tired of her showing off. All she cares about is material things and all the famous people she is "friends" with. She always plays the race card. She doesn't like people who are white. She never has. She always says smart things about the white race. She thinks she is better than everyone. I never watch her because she is fake.

19. Oprah, get a frickin' life. You play yourself off as a saint, when in reality you're just a money hungry b*tch who likes to play the race card when it's convenient. All your "donations" are generous, but you have to give them for tax purposes, they are all write offs. You're not doing it for the goodness of your heart, but rather the goodness of your taxes. Please get off your soap box, you're no better than anyone else. And by the way...when you have a musical performer on your show, take the time to learn the lyrics if you plan on singing along, you look like an ass singing the wrong words.

20. Oprah, you should really be ashamed of yourself!

Those " white" folks you comment about are the same white folks that watch your show day in and day out and can see past the color of your skin to the person they THOUGHT you were. How sad that money has only bought you hatred. Don't be surprized when negative comments are said about you. They'll be making comments, not because of the color of your skin, but because of the hatred in your heart.

21. @ whatever: i totally agree with you b/c a lot of people both blacks and whites read infomation wrong and then you have this big racial arguement. obviously they dont care about how she's helping the hurricane victims in the south, building schools in africa (go ahead and say something racial about her building schools in africa) giving free scholarships to students. im black and there are some things that i agree with o and some things i dont but i cant complain when a person is spending her money on things that really matter in this world. at least she's not sitting on her ass and not doing anything.

22. I am so glad that there are 13 other people that see how things really are rather that 2 people seeing things how they want them to be. I could care less what Oprah does or says I can take her or leave her sometimes I watch, sometimes I don't but #13 and #15 you are really grasping at straws first of all #13 what in the hell do rappers have to do with anything is that Oprah's big claim to fame is that how she is going to pull the wool over your eyes she won't have rappers on not all rappers are racist. #15 thank oh so much for the history lesson but the conversation was there for everyone to listen to she said she now only has one I repeat one black person working for her. Do you have any idea how many people possibly work for Oprah. What do you think the news stations would be flooded with if Martha Stewart or Donald Trump or Barbara Walters (or any other white person) said they only have 1 white person on their staff for real it would be a racist comment I am 100% possitive we will not hear anything about this comment on the news tonight.

23. @big: oprah is black and she declines to have rappers on her show. therefore if she's that damn racist then why is she not representing her own people? that's all im saying.

24. Geez you white people are SO SENSITIVE.

You're so blinded by jealousy that you can't see she was making a joke about the irony of the situation. She has blacks on her staff.

25. Well, I don't have a problem with her having white people busting their ass for her rich ass, but come on, she should hire some black folks and help them out a little. She doesn't really care about helping her people... she just got some good o publicity for the African school for girls... I think she did that to trumple over the gay rumors. Oprah is all about Oprah. I really can't stand her!

I Bet oprah is gay and only likes white woman. That's why I don't think Gayle is her girlfriend.. she's not the right color.

And 55 million ? is the bitch not rich enough? she is a billionaire for goodness sakes.

26. i bet she wont do a re cap on her show on this subject , like she did with that james frey guy who wrote that book "a million little pieces"

27. Thank you, Whatever, for being a voice of sanity in a crowd of lunacy (and blindness -- I am not an Oprah fan particularly, but the context for the statement is right there and you couldn't see it?).

28. I wonder, in 100 years when whites are the subjugated race and when blacks make statements about our race, no matter how benign or innocent the intent of the statement is, when the whites scream "RACIST" and beat every comment into the ground to milk as much negativity as possible from it- will the blacks care? I don't think so.

That's not racist, that's observant.

29. Why is stating a fact, that she has white people
working for her, a "racist" statement? Is it because
she stated it? Saying something that is true is
not racist. Statement of fact...her staff is 98% white.
This is the race of the people that work for her.
Some folks are so dumb they think any mention
of race is "racist".

30. I do not watch Oprah. I for years I have said that she is racist. I could see on the few shows that I did watch that she treated a lot of the whites different than the blacks. As far as her helping the hurricane victims in New Orleans and giving (30,000.000) millin dollars for the school in Africa, that is fine. BUT I did not hear her give any money to the victims in Texas where they lost 90% of their area, . I did not hear her give any money to the people of Port Charlotte in Florida. I did not hear her give even any mention of these people. It is fine that she gives BUT how about the children, white and black, that are hungry or have been abused here in the USA. Why does she not give to her own PEOPLE here in the USA. Why does it always have to be to the blacks from her..Talk about race....We are supposed to be America but seems like Oprah is still dividing the country after so many years of trying to get equal. Also, I feel bad for all those people black and white who do clean houses for a living. I feel like she just degraded ALL of them..It is an honest living. I also believe she is fake and I for one do not like her....
