I WANT oprah to know that THE HELP was a movie that gave one small part of the way that black maids really had to endure. Pain in the neck Melissa Harris got a good plug for her book. She is not even black and should be ashamed of herself. AND Rachel Maddow look out for your job. Her too sweet intellectual view is for the birds. Up with THE HELP, down with the obnoxious Miss Harris. Keep her away from the Rachael Maddow show.

So now The Queen, AKA Oprah Winfrey, has vowed to squeeze a confession of guilt from OJ Simpson! Brother, this narcisstic racsist just can't get enough!!! Makes one wonder what she is planning after she milks this obvious publicity stunt( her OWN network). Suggestion.... how about finding out the truth about JFK,Bobby, Marilyn Monroe, the moon landing, how life really started, just to name a few things. I'm sure The Queen could do it!!!! Wake up people! She's as phoney as a 3$ bill. If she was the person she claims to be, she would at the very least, admit her lesbian relationship with her "friend" GAIL!!!! WHAT A BEAUT!!!!!!!!

Susan Carpenter, from the article "Inside the Oprah-sphere," published in the Los Angeles Times on April 18, 2010. Carpenter wrote:

"In the 24 years she's been the queen of TV talk shows, Oprah Winfrey has tackled every conceivable subject. Whether a transgender male giving birth or teachers sleeping with their students, nothing is too outrageous for "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and its 7 million daily U.S. viewers.

"But there is, it seems, one taboo topic for the 56-year-old: herself."
