Speaking of Oprah--I'm old and still have a lot to learn. But my sensory antennae about Oprah has never changed. I never worshiped Oprah. Because white women drooled over her so much, that always made me suspicious of her. When white women lick and lap all over you, it's like you're their pets or something.
Not to diminish Oprah's personal efforts to build an empire, but I still can't help but think, she was in the right place at the right time and the right gender and race--a Black woman who was "chosen" to let rise to her heights, over and above a Black man, like Bill Cosby, who was locked out when he tried to purchase networks and sports teams.
It's nothing new, Black men are perceived by white men (power dynamic) to be a threat to white men, and if they have to choose, will choose Black women, because they can pay them cheaper (because they are still women) and far less intimidating to them. Because white women love her, I think it kept the pressure at home off of white men, allowing them to wander about more freely, so they gave their women what they wanted--Oprah on a platter. It was much cheaper than buying them diamonds, purchasing villas and designer wardrobes. I could be wrong but that's how I see it.

You think it's immoral for Black women to want the right to choose what to do with their bodies? You think that's and example of Black women being influenced by white women?You can't change the outer world until you change the inner world. Blacks today are just as immoral as the Caucasians they hate, we believe some of the same destructive immoral things they do (Feminism, Men's Rights, Jobs over family, etc), we abort our children, worship women, run around at Caucasian marches with "Her body, her choice" shirts on, lobby for homosexual rights when you as a so called black man and woman don't even have the right to be treated like a HUMAN BEING, refuse to follow the universal laws, and worse.
All of that just means more oppression and complaining on the internet.

You don't think that Black women have an independent brain cell to think for herself that she must follow in the footsteps of other women?
When you think of Black women, you think we don't know or feel the pain of being raped, possibly getting pregnant as a result, or contracting a nasty sexual disease from such an encounter?
You think that Black women who are aware of themselves and how society has treated them want their sons and daughters to experience the same?
You believe it's immoral for Black women to care about other oppressed people even though she may not have achieved full rights and liberties in the society she lives in? Is that a sign of weakness or indicative of a lack of trying to change her condition and the condition of others?
