You proved my point. I said factually that on Oprah's old show she favored certain mega-rich Black male stars. I also said she was known for both directly and indirectly disrespecting male rappers on her show and provided examples of her disrespect for every day Black men in general.Meanwhile she love Hov and Loose Change who are fat from any ‘talented tenth’.
And you claim that Oprah only met with certain types of black figures, wtf do you think Mike did?
The only rappers he put on his albums happened to be the hottest at the time with major pop appeal ( Heavy, Big, Jay ). No Pac....I wonder why?
They’re all in the same click having some billshit internal battles between elites. I only wish MJ lived so he could pull a Cosby or Jim Brown in you clowns.
At the time that picture you posted of her and 50 cent was taken, he was worth upwards of $150 million putting him in the top 5 wealthiest hip-hop artists. At that same time, Jay-Z was worth upwards of $500 million. Since then, his net worth has doubled. Even still, Jay wouldn't have made it to her show had it not been because of his marriage to Beyonce and his mainstream (white) appeal.
And 50 cent was never on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
"I think she caters to older white women...Oprah's audience is my audience's parents."
- 50 Cent
"In February 2008, Snoop Dogg voiced his displeasure with his music being referenced during an episode on misogyny in hip-hop without being invited on the show to defend himself."
“I really was offended, because I kind of like her,” the West Coast legend said. “Liked her. I’m very articulate, very intellectual. She didn’t even get a chance to even know me.”
"I've been involved in three projects pitched to her, but I've never been asked to participate...For 'Barbershop,' she had Cedric the Entertainer and Eve on, but I wasn't invited...She's had damn rapists, child molesters and lying authors on her show. And if I'm not a rags-to-riches story for her, who is?"
- Ice Cube
Dr. Boyce, you comparing who Oprah had on her show with who Michael hung out with in his personal life is weird. Michael never had a talk show. He also was not known for publicly shitting on his own people like Oprah. While Oprah was disrespecting rappers on her show and using the N-word and lyrical misogyny as an excuse, Michael was recording songs with Biggie - an artist Oprah wouldn't have had on her show to save her life.
But since you want to compare who they hung out with, how do you defend Oprah pitching a "Leaving Neverland" aftershow to HBO to shit on Michael's memory collaborating with known liars accusing him of molestation? Yet one of her best white friends, Harvey Weinstein is the one of the most scurrilous sex offenders in show business history, but not one word of critique for him- let alone a whole show.
Fuck Oprah.
