OPINION What Has Oprah Done For Black Americans?

Remedy said:
Well, she has helped a lot of black writers and directors get deals and their own shows thusly provided entertainment to black folks. She's helped 400 or so black men pursue degrees through her scholarship at Morehouse. Who then in return vowed to pay it forward to other black students. Built schools, donated millions to countless charities over the years. She doesn't seem to like to boast on all she does, which is a good thing. "Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing"
But most of that has been mentioned I'm sure. Also considering she don't owe a black, white or green mf a damn thing..I think she's done plenty.

agreed. this a hating ass thread.
 
Smh. We build our people up...only to tear them down.

What has Oprah done for black people?

What has Pres. Obama done for black People?

Question should be...what have YOU done for black people? What have black folks done for other black folks in their area?

It's annoying to see folks think only ONE person can make a change w/n our people. We got a whole Black Caucus in Congress, and I have yet to see my folks ask what THEY have done for our people? What are their plans?

Just b/c Oprah doesn't publicize every deed, doesn't mean she hasn't done anything.
 
Lol @ no one answering this thread straight up. All she has done is helped people by proxy. She the money whale and the people she's "helped" are just barnacles that go for the ride.

She cosigns poverty porn and other flicks that show Black men in the worst light possible.

Damn here we go with the games. What is this jeopardy? Anyway see my post on the first page. I asked my question seeking a real answer. I’m not trying put anyone on a pedestal or break anyone down. For years I have heard these folks don’t do enough. What’s enough?

Enough is when there is a quantifiable change for the mass. Billions should be able to do that.

Like I said before, im not talking about passing out money. But she is super rich and super influential. She pretty much got a President elected.

It’s always about money even when it comes to getting a president elected. Oprah making a difference or any of the rich making a difference is based on them opening up their wallets. Unless ur suggesting they are like Jesus and if we could just touch them we be saved forever smh
