Oprah Lords Over White Folk, Talks Poop on XM Posted Sep 25th 2006 1:52PM by TMZ Staff Filed under: Oprah

If it wasn't already totally evident that Oprah Winfrey can talk about anything for any length of time, her debut today on her own XM Radio channel just confirmed it. The talk-show queen gabbed with her best pal Gayle King (who called her, inexplicably, "Mommy") on what is nominally King's show on "Oprah & Friends," the satellite channel that launched today.

Among many, many other things, Oprah talked about her humble beginnings in Mississippi, and particularly about how her mother's highest aspiration for her was that she might end up cleaning white people's houses, because "they give away nice clothes." And then Oprah pointed out that now that she's Oprah, she has "all these white people" working for her, and that in fact there's only one black person on the staff. Way to turn the tables, girl.

Finally -- and this was just in the first fifteen minutes -- Oprah moved onto her most recent favorite topic, excrement. O assured Gayle that the reason she doesn't have children wasn't that she can't deal with poo, or "pooty," as the pair called it. For this -- and whatever follows -- is what XM is paying Oprah $55 million over the next three years.

She boast that she has all these "white people" working for her. And the author boasts "Way to turn the tables girl". Wow. Just imagine if the roles were reversed.

The only thing as massive as Oprah's ego is Oprah's mass.

[RushCrush]

Considering cancelling my XM subscriptions over this. What a load of Oprahment.

[BlueNgold]

One more nail in the XM coffin.
I love my Sirius...

[bannie]

She has no right to "lord it over" me because I don't give her the right.

:-)

I have a wonderfully full life without her, and I don't have to prove anything to anyone. Sadly, it seems that she can't say the same.

[Suzy Quzy]

The other day I actually her heard say the next segment was going to be about where "Poo" goes!!! UGH!!!

This does it for me. this is the last time I send her my dirty boxers.

That's it, Your Great Highness Majesty Oprah. Alienate your biggest fan base - stupid white women. If they hear these comments, they'll drop you like a bad habit.

[teenyelliott]

and that in fact there's only one black person on the staff.

So I guess quotas and "diversity" don't apply to her?

Or does she think that white people do a better job than black people?

Curious. Wonder why Jesse Jackson isn't staging protests over the fact that she doesn't hire blacks?

"That's it, Your Great Highness Majesty Oprah. Alienate your biggest fan base - stupid white women. If they hear these comments, they'll drop you like a bad habit."

I don't think you'll see it. As I've always asked: Why do these women seek marital advice from a woman who has NEVER BEEN MARRIED. Kind of like a guy watching a fixit show hosted by someone who never held a hammer in his life.

Good pts you've made. But I wonder if Oprah gives her white employees any nice clothes she discards?

[beaversmom]

You forgot something you mentioned--these women are stupid. They won't leave. Thank you Oprah, may I have another.

[Miss Behave]

You wrote exactly what was on my mind too, teeny.

I listened to the TMZ clip and her tone and words showed her true feelings.

Have you ever even watched her show?
While I am disappointed that Oprah tilts left politically, I can still wholeheartedly applaud her career, financial and public figure successes in life.
It has been a long hard climb to the top, but she should always be celebrated for, at the very least, having proven to the TV watching public that Phil Donahue is a ineffectual metro sexual idiot.
And I also very much respect the fact that she never apologizes for being a successful black woman.
Why should she?

[teenyelliott]

Well it's not as though she has a house full of white slaves. They are employees, for goodness sake.

"I'll show those white people! I'll pay them! MWAAAHAHAHAHA!"

Okay, Oprah.

[teenyelliott]

Her show is drivel.

And no one said she had to apologize for it. But in no way should she be "celebrated".

My God, she's a t.v. star. Who gives a crap?????

[Miss Behave]

LOL, teeny. And no kiddin'. You made me laugh at your laugh.

cOprah-lalia.
