No, really, I think Okrah is an AA queen, and if you saw her early appearances you'd agree, I suspect. But then, any celebrity on the idiot box, Regis Philbin or whoever, is suspect, when you consider their intellectual depth and their negligible talent, so it may be unfair to single out this woman.

I get the impression you may be jealous of people like Oprah and Regis. I remember Oprah from the earliest days and no I don't think she's an affirmative action queen. She's a hardworking woman and that's all there is to it. She's made a billion doing something that she likes to do which I'm sure angers a lot of people.

It is amazing to see how much lighter skinned Oprah has gotten over the years. She hasn't reached the Michael Jackson stage yet; however, she is several shades lighter now than she was when she started out.

Oprah does pass on some good information on her show. But, she certainly tries to indoctrinate the female viewers into her extreme left-wing liberal view point. Sadly, waaaaay too many of them are dumb enough to fall for her disinformation. The hysterical women in her audience screaming like she was the Beatles or Elvis appearing on the Ed Sullivan show is totally revolting.

Everything I needed to know about Oprah I learned working with her on the movie "Beloved".

She insisted that the whole crew (100+) be Black. When the union told her that she will get those best qualified no matter what color they are she had a fit. It required the union (IATSE) to try and find as many Blacks as possible to work the shoot while maintaining a degree of fairness.

During the shooting she would throw fits if she didn't like something. Her entourage would number 12-20 people, most who were straphangers and yes people.

She gave me some dirty looks but never spoke to me during two months of shooting. I always just ignored her.

She is no different then Danny Glover or JJ or Al Sharpton except that she is pandering to a larger audience.

No2...

She may or may not have gotten her shot because of some sort of quota attitude, but she has made herself enormously successful through talent and hard work. Many get opportunities. There is only one Oprah Winfrey. Just as there is only one Rush Limbaugh.
