Oprah On Recent Protests: 'I'm Looking For Leadership'

[loyola llothta]

In the history of struggle in this country, when have a rich person EVER took on that role?

no black celebrity from the 60's??

Honestly it's a lot deeper than that. Oprah may not be able to help black people in the US without any serious backlash. Farrakhan said he had gotten 5m dollars and wanted to create a line of beauty products by black people for black people. He said he put the money in a black bank, found a black manufacturer, and ultimately had to cancel the project because cacs said if you fukk with Farrakhan you'll lose all of our support/money.

Yea I heard about this on black YouTuber AdviseShowTv's radio show, and it was the Jews specifically.

I already know my plan would get my crucified by black people, much less cacs. Even before ferguson I said this shyt wouldn't be enough to truly wake us up and my opinion is hasn't changed.

Let me go and tell black people the goal should be to separate from cacs, do for self, and control our own destiny and see how quick black people would tell me I'm being racist

I do agree we do need leadership though, and that's not a bad thing. There's a few cats out there who are kinda taking on that role (Phillip Agnew with Dream Defenders for example), but I'm not sure how big of a role he's been playing in Ferguson.

actually, i think most blacks would agree but that's just blank rhetoric. i'm talking about a realistic drawn out plan, as if you were handing it to investors or lenders

take a semi blighted area, buy up the land, houses, warehouses, everything. sell only black owned or black farmed products in said stores.

the youth stays employed through said businesses. older generation continue getting their checks from cacs or figuring out how to transition into the black infrastructure.

it could be done if a few black billionaires saw the investment potential in such a venture. be the mt rushmore of your own community instead of giving your legacy and wealth back to cacs.

She created a black girl school in SOUTH AFRICA instead of America, because according to her "Black American's(girls) do not deserve it" fukk her!

Yep look at this chick's track record. Don't expect her to do anything to help blacks out. She is on that Tina Turner tip....one or two bad experiences has turned her off black people exclusively and we have become something to tolerate in her eyes. I don't even believe that school was legit but it looked good politically.

Lol this thread.

"Why doesn't she do it herself?"

Yall can't be serious.

 

[The_Truth]

And a thread about the black condition in this world turns into a divisive pitty pat of man vs. woman and african vs black american



The exact problem right here.

There is no unity just a never ending argument that you're better than another black, meanwhile all races worldwide look at all blacks like the same failed savage no matter what gender or nation you come from

Let's give a round of applause to the female posters who yet again turned a black issue into a black man vs. black woman issue.

 

[The_Truth]

Well, Oprah........take the lead then. God knows you have all the money and time in the world to influence some real change.

That doesn't mean she has to do everything herself. But she is in the position to at least connect with the right people to get something serious going. Why not use her network to promote serious black people who actually have a constructive plan? She can use her celebrity to bring light to some dedicated black revolutionary thinkers who otherwise would not get the exposure they need to reach the masses. Something simple like that. She can connect with other like-minded Black celebrities as well. Black celebrities in the past had no problem supporting Black activists. And black stars of today have far more to work with than the stars of yesterday. Whatever movement that emerges is going to need funding

no black celebrity from the 60's??

Those celebrities showed their support, but they wasn't in any leadership position as far as I'm aware (I could be wrong). I know after some black celebrities after their careers were over started putting in work ( Jim Brown comes to mind).

Personally I believe we should stop expecting celebrities or rich black people to swoop in and save us. shyts never gonna happen. It's gonna take the poor and middle class (aka the masses of us) to come together, figure out a plan, and execute it.

Yea I heard about this on black YouTuber AdviseShowTv's radio show, and it was the Jews specifically.

Gotta link to the YouTube video?

 

[Yup]

You're being divisive.

Stop trying to war with your counterpart.

This is not about black women or black men it's about the BLACK RACE.

I would agree if all were equal.

 

[Yup]

yeah and look where the black lives matter movement achieved nothing besides looking like darn fools for the world to see . If you want something you have to take it , not beg

Yup sit there criticizing without providing alternatives on the topic.

 

[BaggerofTea]

PAID OFF OF GULLIBLE BLACK FEMALES AND WHITE WOMEN

So your quick to attribute women to white but you attribute female to black?



Your a punk bytch, disrespecting the person that birth to you

"is to take note of the strategic, peaceful intention required when you want real change.".....Oprah yall

i hate when they glamorize the CRM or any real black uprising/movement either in Americas or Africa. she was quiet this whole time when her black-fan base was waiting for her to respond about ferguson. she finally does when her movie "Selma" about to drop(and probably help finance; you know that she waiting for a Oscar).


also MLK was not the only one that was out there making moves and was not the only leader. Oprah don't know shyt about her own "black history' but that water-down European Saltine cracker mayo stain teaching

s/o black Muslim(NOI) who also made moves by buying property and opening up grocery stores etc

she clearly don't know anything about the leaders from Dream Defenders. BlackLivesMatter(yeah some ppl dont like the message). To the Ferguson commission. its more but i go deep later

who is the jews leader?Who is the Latino leader?Who is the gay leader?......yet in the last two decades these groups made big moves


CRM??? wtf... nothing's really changed judicially or legislatively and it can be argued we're worse off economically

instead of "What can I do to help?"............nah better yet she say "Where are the leaders?". Why do these rich black celebrities feel they don't owe the black community nothing? mammy Oprah is full of shyt and she's working for the other team

You dudes really gotta stop saying there's no other leaders. Eva Longoria was on the forefront of the Dream Act campaign issue. She co founded the futuro fund and raised 30 million dollars to Obamas reelection campaign. She's also been extremely vocal on immigrant rights and is becoming a Latina activist in DC.

There's always been leaders and there always will be leaders. The problem is for whatever reason we keep looking for someone else to be the leader instead of us taking on that leadership position ourselves.

 

[Yup]

She is a modern day black mammy. There's no need to be scared of the truth.

falls in line with what some of y'all sit there complaining from the sidelines. I have long said that black women have taken on too much in regards to black men. It's time for them to fall back and have black men take more leadership on this anyway.

 

[Yup]

Point blank period, when it comes to civil rights and fighting white oppression there should be no contest between black men and women. We are one.

Point blank period.

Your mindset is toxic and fosters hostility and division from within. Classic divide and conquer.

Get that through your head.

I ain't making a contest...I don't like efforts of one being denigrated. Black women have taken on too much black male leadership and it's made young black men complacent and not value black woman's lives or them.
