Finish High School
Get a job
Have your children after you get married
Those three things will keep just about anyone out of poverty.
They need to stop blaming Whitey and just go fix themselves.
DAyum!!! that’s some good stuff
You can grieve but I really couldn’t care less about what she has to say. I admire the fact she has been so successful as I would admire anyone who became successful by and through their own labor. That said nothing she says will ever change the way I think or how I feel.
So true!
‘Houston went from singing the most heart-stirring version of the national anthem I’d ever heard in 1991’
why does everybody think this was such a great rendition...? I’ve heard much better...
‘Whitney’s addiction made her unrecognizable. America cried.’
eh...? I cried...? that’s news to me...
There’s the problem...They would have to go fix it....Much better to have the money handed to you....
Whitney Houstons life was over when she married Bobby Brown.
As to Oprah, lady I am a man of modest means and no fame. It I am white as are all my antecedents all the way back to Ireland. You are not and for all your money and fame you can never be. Ha ha hA ha ha!
The major flaw in Wilkerson’s thinking on hierarchy is that she fails to make a distinction between the immeasurable value of blacks as human beings, versus the value of the economic performance of blacks in the marketplace. Failing to practice the habits, disciplines, and rigors that upward mobility demands is the real problem that’s being ignored “in the basement,” especially in troubled black neighborhoods. The demands of upward mobility are universal, colorblind, and impartial to rich or poor. Ignore them at your peril“.

20 years ago I knew a woman who was half native American. I innocently started joking about Oprah and putting down Oprah. Boy did she blow up at me. As a (semi) minority she really identified with The Oprah. It was a shared oppression kind of thing. But lets face facts that Oprah made her billions off the dopey white housewives with too much money and too much time on their hands.
Time enough to watch that sewer of rank liberal stupidity called daytime tv which must be 95% oriented towards females.

FLASHBACK: Oprah Said ‘Generations’ Of Old People ‘Just Have To Die’ To End Racism [VIDEO]
EXCERPT
She added, “Of course problem is not solved. You know, as long as people can be judged by the color of their skin, problem’s not solved. As long as there are people who still, there’s a whole generation – I say this, you know, I said this, you know, for apartheid South Africa, I said this for my own, you know, community in the south–there are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, and they just have to die.”
ROFL! What nonsensical puffery.
I doubt if anyone in China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Russia or Vietnam gives two hoots what Oprah thinks. And that is like half the world's population already.
They have their own stars, who are far smarter and much less offensive than the vacuous Oprah and her irrelevant claptrap
Buy an alarm clock and maybe not wear dreadlocks and name your kid Shaquiniquande’.
I never fell for it. I’dcas soon “look up to” Jerry Springer as Okra Winfrey-really, she’s a talk show host who managed to “transcend” the usual ilk, nothing about that gives her any extraordinary wisdom or insight. In fact, her goofy new age spiritual views argue otherwise (not to mention her Biblical illiteracy when she tries to twist the Bible into some historical self-help book and deny the unique divinity of Jesus (and another thing, where do non-Christians get off telling Christians what our beliefs are or should be? They wouldn’t-generally-dare to do that with Islam and the Koran, Buddhism, Judaism, etc-but non-Christians think they have right to
tell Christians what our beliefs are, or, if Biblical belief doesn’t mesh with the social justice agenda, what our beliefs should be. I never hear any of them tell certain Muslim sects to stop cutting off girls’ sexual body parts.
