Is Oprah the new Imus?

At Howard University she noted that while her grandmother worked for white people, now white people work for her. And some white guys are mad!

    Meh.......not racist.

    Just tacky, as the first poster stated.

    God, I used to like Oprah. Thought she was a good actor. Then, I didn't like the show, but hey, liked the magazine, being upbeat and not about fat, fat and more fat and how to get rid of it lest one live a life of pain and horror forever more.

    So... that was nice. And I think that amoung all the self congratulatory back patting that goes on in the Oprahverse, good DOES get done.

    But really...Oprah, blech. The "secret" shilling killed it for me. That, and she reminds me of a family friend who loves to boast about his "anonymous" charitable donations....

    Still....hmm..there are worse people in the world.

    One of em died today!
