Because foreign blacks, are in a worse situation take a look at Sudan for instance "African American" already as a better chance, free college, government help so on...My self is from the West Indies, people say foriegn blacks look down on african americans, but the truth is we came here for a better oppertunity because such things as government corruption, etc....but when we reach we see african americans complaining, when they are able to go to college for free, but they dont, they "floss" alot, alot of them are lazy..compared to a foriegn black perspective
I suppose no one ever told you not to write in all CAPS. Perhaps you need to attend one of Oprah's schools.
Yes, Oprah did right to help some kids who will be greatful. Many of our kids if given the option of a paid tuition at a private school or a new wardrobe repleat with music/sound system they would forgo the private school and opt for the material goodies.
Is she right to do this? YES, B/C PEOPLE IN AFRICA HAVE VERY LITTLE RESOURCES AND THINGS THAT ARE USUALLY FREE OF CHARGE IN AMERICA (IE. PUBLIC SCHOOL) , MUST BE PAID FOR BY FAMILIES WITH LITTLE OR NO MONEY AND NO MEANS OF GETTING EMPLOYMENT EVEN WHEN THEY ARE EDUCATED. ALSO, THERE ARE VERY FEW GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAMS TO ASSIST PEOPLE IN CERTAIN AFRICAN COUNTRIES.
Why not spend on American Blacks? AMERICAN BLACKS SPENT OVER 600 BILLION DOLLARS INTO THE AMERICAN ECONOMY LAST YEAR. WHY DON'T AMERICAN BLACKS SPEND ON THEMSELVES... AND THIS DOESN'T MEAN MORE BLING, SNEAKERS AND HAIR WEAVE. IF IT WERE UP TO ME, ALL BLACK WOMEN WOULD WEAR NATURALS. STOP GIVING WONG FONG YOUR MONEY!
BTW, ARE YOU A REGISTERED VOTER???? DID YOU VOTE IN THE LAST THREE ELECTIONS IN YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY??? DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE ELECTED OFFICIALS IN YOUR COMMNITY STAND ON ISSUES RELEVANT TO YOUR COMMUNITY? DID YOU VOLUNTEER ON ANY CANDIDATE'S ELECTION CAMPAIGN? IF NOT, LACK OF PARTICIPATION WILL SEAL YOUR FATE.
The Chicago ghettos don't need schools right now? THE CHICAGO GHETTOS ARE THERE B/C PEOPLE DON'T RESPECT THEMSELVES ENOUGH TO GET OFF THEIR ASSES AND GO TO SCHOOL. PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE FUNDED BY CITY/STATE/FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. PART OF THE ALLOCATED FUNDS DEPENDS ON ATTENDANCE. THAT'S WHY TEACHERS ARE USUALLY REQUIRED TO TAKE ATTENDANCE. (THEY SHOULD IF THEY DON'T.) EVER HEARD OF SCHOOL CLOSINGS? USUALLY THEY SITE POOR ATTENDANCE OR LOW ATTENDANCE LEVELS. IF THE LEVEL OF KIDS ATTENDING FALLS BELOW A CERTAIN POINT FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, THE SCHOOL IS PLACED ON THE RADAR SCREEN FOR EITHER, OVERHAUL OR SHUT DOWN. THEN THERE IS THE MATTER OF SCHOOL PERFORMANCE AND STUDENTS ACHIEVEMENT ON STANDARDIZED TESTING, BUT THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER ISSUE.
YOU SPEND MONEY ON GUNS AND GEAR, BUT NONE ON YOUR OWN KIDS. THERE ARE VERY FEW PROFESSIONALS WHO RETURN TO THEIR COMMUNITY TO IMPROVE CONDITIONS. EVERY OTHER ETHINITY GIVES BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITY ....EXCEPT YOU!!!! THE HBCU'S, THE LOCAL CHARITITES, THE HEALTHCARE FACILITIES. EVER THINK ABOUT VOLUNTEERING ONE HOUR A WEEK. HOW ABOUT VOLUNTEERING TO READ A BOOK TO A CHILD ONCE A WEEK. WHAT ABOUT MENTORING ONE, JUST ONE, CHILD. TAKE THEM TO A RESTAURANT ONCE A WEEK, WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR OWN KIDS. HELP A SICK PATIENT'S CAREGIVER, BY OFFERING TO RUN ONE ERRAND FOR THEM. IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT... DO THIS.
YOU DIDN'T GRADUTE FROM HIGH SCHOOL?...GET YOUR G.E.D GOT YOUR GED... GET AN ASSOCIATES (TRADE SCHOOLS ARE GREAT TOO) GOT AN ASSOCIATES...GET A BACHELORS GOT A BACHELORS...GET A MASTERS GOT A MASTERS...GET A DOCTORATE GOT A DOCTORATE...MENTOR, MENTOR, MENTOR. (IT WORKED FOR ME!)
AND DON'T LEAVE EVERYTHING UP TO OPRAH!!!!!
Is Oprah's dream outdated? HARDLY. SHE JUST HIT THE TIP OF THE ICEBURG. I WON'T MENTION THE HUNDREDS OF OTHER WEALTHY AF-AM WHO DON'T GIVE A DIME TO ANY CHARITY, ORG, ETC. THEY DON'T BOTHER TO ESTABLISH OR SUPPORT ANY SCHOOL, FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC.
Is Oprah a gay woman?NO, BUT DOES IT MATTER?? YOU HAVE MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES TO DEAL WITH. SEE ANSWER REGARDING CHICAGO GHETTOS.
When will Oprah appear on her XM radio channel???? LISTEN TO FIND OUT.
This and more on my last episode. Would love some feedback to this topic. YOU HAVE IT!
All of that would have made so much sense if not for the fact it was laden with soooo many ignorant stereotypes, it turns it into something laughable! Thanks for pigeonholing every problem in ghettoes into what corporate america tells you.
I suggest YOU read a book as well as EDUCATE yourself on people before sputing off tripe like that.

I was haunted by a show Oprah did when she had Alison Dubois on her show. Ms. Dubois Talked about how she enjoys it when Murderers think that they have gotten away with murder and she comes along to bring them to Justice. I was haunted by Oprahs' reaction to this statement by Ms. Dubois. It had me asking, " Did Oprah Winfre Kill her own Child " ? Oprah reacted to Ms. Dubois as if she was caught and found out. I don't know the date of the show, but Alison Dubois is the most powerful Medium (Psychic) in America and has a show that comes on on Mondays at NBC 10:00pm E.S.T.
A lot of people are angry at Michael Vick about that dog thing. Kind of like they're mad at O.J. about the wife thing. Barry Bonds and steroid, along with Isaiah Washington and slurs. There's so much to be mad at, but the color of rage remains the same.
Dead Presidents are better thought of as Workers. Oprah, knows how to make people feel great and special, I understand that she's a great hostess. If I had a wish-list. I think that Oprah could make herself richer, fight racism and build wealth in the black community and do it in two areas. I had a very strange conversation with my cousin the other day and he was telling me something very odd. We actually had a conversation about tug-boats and ships. Do you know that many of the huge ships out in the ocean, the buttom of these ships get very dirty and they must be cleaned every year. Guess how much it cost to clean the buttom of each one of these ships? $3 to $4 million dollars per ship. Oh, and those strange little tug-boats make $5,000.00 per ship that they bring in & pull out from the shore. The tug-boats move 10 to 15 ships per day at $5,000.00 dollars per ship. Tell me that Oprah couldn't secretly break into that business and train many of her people to do that work and still make a shit-load of money ? The fighting racism and making a shit-load as well. Billions of dollars in trade happens in America everyday. Millions of Trucks travel the U.S.A. each and everyday and they need fuel. Currently; Austin, TX doesn't have a worthwell, Truck Stop. Each truck that fuels in a Truck Stop pays about $400.00 dollars to fuel their truck. Tell me Oprah couldn't bulid some of the Best Truck-Stops in the Nation in Areas that currently lack Trucking Spots. Austin, Tx alone could use three of them. Oprah could start a truckdriver training program so that young African-Americans can part-take in this multi-Billion dollar industry and at the end of this program match each driver with his or her own day-cab truck. Day-cab truck drivers make $146,000.00 dollars per year. The program can be backed by member life insurance and portion donations by each member. The truck stops can be made soooo, welcoming; That racist truck drivers knowing that they are going into Oprah's or Big O's truck-stop won't want to be at any other truck stop. This would put a dent in racist attitudes, put a living standard wage in black families' pockets oh, & in Louisiana Oprah could do a Casino-Truck Stop, Hotel like the indians and she'd still make a shit-load of money. International Trade, Oprah would have her hand in the Heart of the American Economy and put serious money in her people's pockets all at the same time. When we think of how people can give to their community, we must think not only of our interest, but of the interest of the giver as well.
Take into account that South Africa has no public school system. The only schools there are private. Oprah has a heart as big as a pig. The only problem I have with Oprah is that she's a little flakey at times.She used to work with my uncle, " Richard Griffin " in Baltimore, Maryland at WJZ-TV. She also was a friend of my ex-lady friend " Barbara Carter " . I get creeped out when Oprah calls "Lisa Marie Presley" : " Her cousin " ; Lisa Marie gets a little creeped out too when you see her face when Oprah makes this crazy claim.
Is she right to do this? Why not spend on American Blacks? The Chicago ghettos don't need schools right now? Is Oprah's dream outdated? Is Oprah a gay woman? When will Oprah appear on her XM radio channel????
