Duh!!! Oprah is a business woman. She is using whoever she can to make money. Some day, she will decide that she has enough and she will show her true colors. (That is a standard phrase and has nothing to do with her being Black).

I don't know if Oprah is a racist,but I do think she loves publicity,and praise.I don't believe she's sincere,and I think the only reason she jumped on the "Obama bandwagon",was for praise and a nice pat on the back.I just hope she's not supporting him just because he's black like her.That's not fair,and color shouldn't play a part in it.

I believe so because in all the years how many times has Oprah helped a presidential candidate before Obama Bin Laden.

Yeh, not racist but pretty close.
I wonder why she is supporting the black candidate? Would she support anyone that is white? I don't know. I haven't seen it. Does she think Obama is better just because he's black? Obama would have me more convinced with more white supporters. That's just me.
And that thing about making a school for black kids but not allowing them to contact the outside world was disconcerting to me. I wasn't suprised when a scandal happened soon after it started. Nobody would have known if somebody hadn't spoken up.
What about those poor kids that she was supposedly helping? Was she trying to subvert them somehow?And then she barely defends her position with a curt statement? Who is she working for? Is it just her putting on a show up there? I thought she cared about people. I don't know anymore.

Oprah after years of admiring you, and defending you to anyone who tried to attack you, I have to say that I am utterly ashamed of your recent behavior.
I am absolutely disgusted that you have chosen to throw your considerable weight and power behind a man for the predominant reason that he is black. If you are really so shallow in your convictions, then surely Hilary Clinton as the only female presidential candidate who has ever come close to being nominated deserves your support much more than another male candidate.
Although black people, along with many other races, lest you forget, have suffered from discrimination throughout the Western world, women are discriminated against THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE WORLD. For all the women who are beaten, abused, assaulted, raped, humiliated, intimidated, stalked, insulted, forced to stay indoors, forbidden from talking to men, murdered, terrorized, kidnapped, trafficked, forced into arranged marriages, seeing a female president of the United States may have given them the hope, the push the conviction, the inner strength to fight the institutionalised abuse they have suffered for centuries. For all the little girls who see their mothers abused, threatened and limited in their potential, seeing a woman become president may have pushed them closer to the equality that ethnic minorities have fought for for years.
The difference is that whereas there are now laws to protect people of all races in most countries, in hundreds of countries around the world, the laws governing the treatment of women are barbaric.They need your help more than any ethnic minority. I do not know who I will vote for but for someone like you seems to base your support on token issues such as race, I suggest that the issue of gender is a more profound one in this situation.
On top of this, Hilary Clinton is a law graduate with dozens of years of experience as a politician. She has never admitted to being a cocaine user unlike Mr.Obama. She is a powerful thinker and public speaker with conviction, principles and beliefs who has more that paid her dues and showed her comptencies.
You call a crowd of black people, "my people." I thought that we were all your people. You have exposed yourself for the sham you are.
You support a person who refuses to respect the flag of our own country!! Why? Because you share the same colour of skin as him. That is the only reason.Were he white, you would be at home right now.
You support a man in the name of Martin Luther King.Martin Luther King would have turned in his grave. He believed that people should be judged on the content of their character, NOT THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN. You are an example of the worst kind of racism-a racism that MLK died trying to extinguish.
In your name racism is alive and kicking.
I hope you can sleep at night, but I know that deep down there is a voice that tells you that you have breached a moral line in your conduct in these presidential elections.
Shame on you.

I used to think she was being fair to everyone. Then I began to notice the number of black guests she had. I understand her wanting to promote her own race, but I think she's forgotten she's part of our human race. That includes all of the colors, not just black. Yes-I think Oprah is a racist.

I do NOT think she is a racist. She is trying to make the world a better place, obviously, and that's not very high on any racist's priority list.

Of course. Most liberals are racists. Minority libs hate whites because they can't get over past issues, and white libs feel minorities are too stupid, weak, or otherwise unable to take care of themselves. Sadly I think Oprah falls into the white lib category. She thinks she can make it, but other blacks need help.

I would have to agree she is a racist, but hides it fairly well. I would have liked to see her open a school in the US that serves all poverty-stricken races.
