Is Oprah a racist?

I don't think Oprah's racist. The white girls in Africa are afforded more opportunities than the blacks. And, the black girls who are benefiting from Oprah's generosity are usually the ones who have been victimized from wars one way or another.

I think my biggest opposition to the whole subject is, that there are plenty of young black girls here in America that would have appreciated the same generosity.

Building a school here in the states for our own would have been cheaper and would have been an asset for the country as a whole (many of those girls would have grown up to contribute to the betterment of "this" country.)

I say; "Hey! You powerful and wealthy celebrities, take care of HOME first!"

You guys/gals are as bad as our government--quick to take care of everyone else and forget about those here at home.

Is Oprah a racist for saying she doesn't care about white girls? Maybe so. Maybe she's prejudiced, although many of her friend are white so i'm not sure how she could really be prejudiced against whites. Who really cares about Oprah, anyway. She's one black person with money. So what. It will not be Oprah, but us, who will have to fix the racial tide that's been crashing against us for centuries.

Just worry about you and your actions. You can't worry about everyone else. It starts with you. Lead by example and screw Oprah.

I've noticed this a long time ago, although, she does hide it quite well.

It's true, there are far too many African etc ... children out there, that don't have access to a proper education, but, there are far too many Caucasian/Asian children that are denied a proper education as well. Oprah has purposely chosen to ignore these children.

When watching Oprah's talk show, take careful note of how Oprah greets her Caucasian guests in comparison to her African American guests. It may be hard to see at first ... but, like I said ... she disguises it well. :(

Did you really see this "live feed" with your own eyes? I don't think so. This incident sounds like a fabricated urban legend in the making.

I am skeptical because of the phrasing of Oprah's quote "I don't care about no white girls". She is a very well spoken person with decades journalism experience and I doubt she would use a double negative no matter her level of preparedness.

oprah does a lot of very good things but it does seem like she helps black kids a little more. but i dont know if that makes her racist

White girls are not lacking schooling in Africa. Oprah helps those people who she feels are in the most need. It just so happens that the most impoverished people in Africa are black Africans, so I would have to agree with her.

By the way, Oprah Winfrey is not an elected official, and has no responsibility whatsoever to support any agenda but her own. She was a poor black girl, and she wants to help other poor black girls. Isn't it enough that she is willing to spend her time and money helping people? Do we have to criticize her choices, too? So what if she doesn't care about white girls in Africa (I'm sure she would rather have said that she wasn't concerned about white girls.) Her cause is black girls in Africa. She isn't required to care about anybody but herself.

This kind of criticism is what undermines progress. If anyone publicly supports a cause, they are liable to be accused of excluding other causes based on racism. If someone donates money to orphanages in China, they may be accused of ignoring orphanages in India.

The Angel network contributors know exactly which causes their money is going to support. Oprah started the Angel network to gain funding for her projects, and people who contribute to it are aware of it. You don't have to contribute.

That story is not on CNN, Fox News, CNBC, ABC, CBS or NBC.

I think I there is a racist here, but its not Oprah

In south Africa white girls have education as they belong to the ruling class. I mean its like being mad at her opening a school in Compton and not in Beverly Hills!!!

Pull it out you butt man. You obviously didn't read HISTORY OF SOUTH AFRICA before writing this.

BUT if whites were economically as disadvantage as the blacks then OF COURSE let them in. What about the boys though...black boys are becoming less and less seen in our world. We need them too you know!!!!

I DON' T THINK OPRAH IS RACIST!!!!!!!
