[GnuThere]

Oh, why? Does she want her GF to be Veep?

[Rummyfan]

Must miss this victimhood fest, hosted by a billionaire who has suffered from racism, when she was not admitted to the Gucci store in Geneva.

[CrappieLuck]

Oh good, a show about racism on a black only channel.

Makes sense.

[Rummyfan]

Participants in the special include Ava DuVernay...

No one has ever gotten more mileage out of directing a couple or three lousy flicks than Ava DuVernay. You would think she had a filmography to compare with John Ford, the press she gets.

[V_TWIN]

If they don’t start off by acknowledging that all races have racists in them then its a total waste of time. Anybody that believes the narrative that only white people are or can be racist need to wake up. Until THAT conversation is had nothing will change.

[MagUSNRET]

Im anxious to hear these “DEMANDS” she says they are going to give “us”
Demand THIS, Orca!!!

[truthluva]

“State Of The Nation”? Is Oprah now the official spokesperson of our Shadow Government?

[rktman]

On ALL discovery channels for two, count them two nights running. Hopefully they will educate us racis’ on “what ‘they’ want” and “what ‘their’ demands are.” With a veritable cornucopia of diverse inpu................... Oh. Will there be a lack of diversity cause we two stoopid? Will someone please ask the question of-——What have your ‘leaders’ been doing for the past 40+years? And NOW this is an imperative? You had a halfrican in the wh for 8 friggin’ years. So, phu cough!

[Rummyfan]

Winfrey and producers promise in-depth conversations offering “insight and tangible plans” to answer the questions “What matters now?” “What matters next?” and “Where do we go from here?”

I'm sure they will discuss the twenty-some homicides over the weekend in Chicago....

If she dumped every one of these guests and just had Shelby Steele or Thomas Sowell I might actually watch.

[gathersnomoss]

Make it a telethon. Bring back Jerry Lewis, or better yet Sammy Davis Jr.

[xp38]

Participants in the special include Ava DuVernay, Stacey Abrams, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Rashad Robinson, Ibram Kendi, Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, Jennifer Eberhardt, David Oyelowo and Charles M. Blow.

oh this will definitely blow

[wiseprince]

No differing views I’m sure. Very healthy as always.

[Rummyfan]

“I’ve been having private conversations with friends and thought leaders...”

In Oprah's world if you have a thought you can be a leader. No matter how ridiculous that thought may be.

Oprah does have a talent for making money. In a way though, she's Ellsworth Tooey, living off weakness and sadness.

She gives marriage advice... but has never been married.

Family advice... although she has no children...

Weight loss advice... although she by no means has been successful herself in that endeavor...

And that stupid book club recommending books that are one more vapid than the other....

[dfwgator]

It won’t be a “conversation”, it will be a lecture.

[Rummyfan]

“Where do we go from here?”

To loot the neighborhood Target?!

[Rummyfan]

What have your ‘leaders’ been doing for the past 40+years?

Like Oprah, enriching themselves. Participating in Racism, Inc.

[rktman]

Why is no one hammering that friggin’ point? Yeah, rhetorical.

[Old Yeller]

A long political ad for the DemonicRats. Isn’t that illegal? Oh that’s right, laws don’t apply to them.

[Sans-Culotte]

I de-listed (5 years ago) OWN from my tv channel list

This is going to be on ALL the Discovery owned channels, including HGTV, DIY, Animal Planet, Travel, etc.

[gathersnomoss]

Make it a telethon. Bring back Jerry Lewis, or better yet Sammy Davis Jr.
