Oprah

I watched the Oprah Winfrey Show Tuesday and she showed me why she is so popular with women. She is a man basher, like people have told me before but I have never really watched her show. But I have seen through blogs on the net that she is a rapper basher for sho'. She had entertainers and CEO's of record companies on her show and damn near roasted them fully for the Don Imus incident blaming the rap industry fully for the way people portray black women. The bottom line is people look at black women as they are. Oprah doesn't want to admit that there are bitches and hoes out there. Now I will say that they're not only black, but to say that rappers portray all black women is wrong. The girls that are willing to get in those videos half naked are the ones that they are speaking about, a woman that is willing to use her body for fame or to get what she wants or to get where she wants to be, the street meaning of a hoe. To bash Russell Simmons, a non-rapper and peace advocate as well as Common and others alike is unfair. She sees rap as totally woman hating but I see her as fully man hating. Oprah, Stedman is there, marry his ass and maybe you won't be so negative towards anyone with a penis between their legs and be less prone to be booty buddies with Gale whatever her name is. Is there a problem, yes. Do rappers and entertainers cause it, no. Do they add to it, maybe, but if yes minority wise. Don't dump society's woes on one category of people. If Oprah was so smart she would see that she is doing the same thing that white folks said about black folks generations ago about ruining society. Get off the high horse O.
