Common and Russell Simmons on Oprah Right Now
- Thread starter O.Red
- Start date
Yeah...I'm watching it right, now. I think a lot of people are just being stubborn and trying to maintain some incredulity. These people aren't stupid; they already know what's up. Rather, they just don't want to admit it.
If 85 minutes worth of musical content on a Hip-Hop album has that much of a negative affect on children, obviously parents need to be held accountable for their negligence. Ultimately, the responsibility doesn't lie with the rappers. Censorship will only result in a chain reaction. Yes, there is a problem, but we're totally going about it the wrong way. Other avenues to solutions definitely exist.

Watching right now, thanks for the tip. This is very interesting. Bout time!
Oprah needs to have the fat/skinny pants sued off of her for defamation of character. First of all I don't support any of this laffy taffy rap, but to connect Imus' racial tirade on hip hop is ignorant. Hip hop like any art has many different forms. (Art = movies, music, literature, painting, photography, etc.) Racism is racism. I bet you all those people have a nice Zane or Terry Mcmillian book under their pillows. Art should be defended under free speech, and you don't have to pay attention to what you don't like. [Nas>>>>>Jeezy]
Welp !!! I guess Oprah made her money. She didn't even have to work hard or express her on views. Just sat around and played a million commercials on this shit. Yes, you have been bambozzled by Oprah people. You could easily see that Oprah really didn't give a fuck about this subject matter, and this was the brainstorm of Gayle King. Had to giggle when I saw the commercial about ROBIN THICKE being a guest on the show soon !!! Chris Brown, nope....Ne-Yo, nope....Akon, nope.....a young talented white dude who's CD been collecting dust til his one song ??? Hell yeah !!! Only way this shit would have been entertaining if they would have given the audience something to throw at each other. I guess Whitlock got to addd this to his resume now(guest on Oprah). And did they Jerry Springer them chicks to talk all that shit like they never listen to a Rap CD ever ??? Shit was crazy.....and Oprah really gave herself up when she said, " Its been two days, goodbye". Fuck Oprah !!!
fuck this show, fuck oprah fuck everyone there except for common who made sense and his his comments brushed off and i wanna fuck gail and the chick who was next to stanley crouch....

As a panelist or a performer? He was just on there a couple of weeks ago...performed and everything.
Chris Brown On Oprah
gayle could get it...my homie told me that oprah would throw blows if i tried it though
That bitch really hates black men it took an old,crusty,racist ass white men to make a comment in order for a discussion on the plight of black america on her show.
Why not have the mother of that black kid in Georgia that is jail for consensual sex on her show?. What about the case of the young sista that was sentenced to seven years discussed on her show....I could go on and on
FUCK HER MAN

Why the fuck are yall whining now? One minute you all are screaming where is Oprah when shit goes wrong in our community, then she does a show to attempt to address some of the issues, and I be damned if we don't accuse her of not addressing the correct issues.
I can understand why Oprah don't have some of us on her show, it's called the OPRAH SHOW. And if she is a black man hater, dammit she has good reason to be, I don't see too many black men becoming part of the solution, but constantly adding to the problem.
Yall say fuck Oprah, I say fuck our sorry ass lazy black men that refuse to stand up and be the leaders that the white man has backed you down from, thus making you afraid to protect our women, children, and community. Black men sell out to the white man for a dime quicker than any black woman I know.
NIGGAS AND MUTHAFUCKING FLIES.

Usually Im with oprah but this is an attack , Especially with the spellman chicks. Come on with this bullshit. They wanted the panel to apologize to them? The fuck? Diane weathers made good points and common. Dont invite people to attack them.
oprah ran off the woman that said parents should raise their kids. Man im seeing oprah in a new light.
You dont want to see big booties swinging , Tell the Video girls to get dressed cause no one is holding a gun to their head.

No. Oprah only cares about "Black issues" when she can exploit them for her own good and subliminally hate on Black men. Like her "down low" show. She isn't addressing or debating shit, that requires two equal sides, she's ATTACKING.
Awwww-aw the same song. I coulda sworn the two main people in this Imus shit were two Black men. I didn't see Oprah NOWHERE.
You mean like Tavis Smiley, Michael Dyson, Cornel West, Eddie Glaude, etc. Those brothers step up. Where are the female leaders? Oprah never has anything concerning Black people because her audience, which ain't us, don't care about niggas. And I don't blame her for doing so. But don't act like she's doing this big thing by attacking hiphop.

I never thought I'd say this to you but...SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH THAT!
Oprah didn't do a damned thing other than use her show as a vehicle to attack hip-hop. You are WRONG. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! There are hundreds of thousands of black husbands and fathers putting it down every day on the regular for their wives and families and they get NO LOVE from you bitter ass (mostly single) sistas. NONE. Oprah hates black men. We get it. We are not fucked up over Oprah having no love for us. When she uses her show as a vehicle to attack us, that's another story. Anyone with an ounce of intelligence can see past that facade of a show of hers when the MAIN topic was NOT Don Imus but HIP-HOP. If you are one of the bitter black man quitters, FINE. Be that. If you look for the bad in life, it will surely find your ass just like it will find Okra's closet dyke ass one day. Many brothas have love for sistas regardless of what you, Off-rah and those tired bag of hags on that same bitchy-tip think. There is NO good reason to hate ALL black men. NONE. We are not all the same.

"Our sorry ass lazy black men" huh?
Explain to me how the fuck sisters can shit on brothers and then call them "our black men" in the same sentence.
Seems to me if you are shitting on them like that they aren't yours. Better skip the fuck on then and let the Latinas, Asians and white girls step up to the plate right? Either that or ditch the fuckin nasty ass attitude and work with your fam, one or the other. I don't really give a shit, personally. The numbers are in my favor anyway
This is one of the most ignorant comments I've read in quite some time. That's saying a lot...cocobeauty36 said:

And I still hold true to exactly what I said.
I don't date white men, and I am not single, and I still say fuck black men and their whining lazy asses. I'm not bitter have no reason to be, but we keep shifting the blame everywhere but to us as individuals. Not bitter, but damn sure disgusted with us. Don't worry I do the shit I need to do to make a difference in the place I can, and it starts within my household.

Sure nothing wrong with a little change, hopefully its positive change in black collective consciousness

she got enough money to buy BGOL's HNIC out and shut this bytch down! lol
some of yall forget she donate a shytload of money to Morehouse...and i talking about a Brinks truck load of money
She dislike the fact SOME of us are putting down Sisters.
All i know is before we came over here on the boat we used to treat our sisters like Queenz and Princess and hell even go to war over ... but unfortunately we got brainwash in the process.....
Some people got the juice and some people dont...
Oprah didnt start out catering to white women.. however she aint no damn dummy... she will cater to whomever will PAY $$$$.
Remember this if anything you want to learn or take from Oprah.. Bullshit walks $$$$ TALKS and she aint got time to worry about what you think because you aint doing anything that makes money for her.
She been in the game for a longgggg fucking time.
Do I like Oprah ... yes because she is one of us. Do I agree with everything she said. Hell fucking no, and if I ever got on her show - I will keep it real with her but be respectful of mofo who got more power than u.
U SAW SHE torn that poor liar a new hole after it was found out his book was a fraud.
Damn if that wasnt a show of power then i know what to tell u cuz the boy was white lol

If you say you're not a duck then stop quacking. You sound bitter. If you're not then stop pretending to be. Nobody asked for your sympathy, so your sorry is wasted. You are disgusted with working brothas who take care of their families? You are disgusted with black teachers, leaders and just everyday bothas trying to make it? What "us" are YOU talking about? You sound like you are under the ASSumption that everybody is worse off than you. Don't be arrogant. Stop compartmentalizing. That's as bad as saying all women are hoes.
Those Spellman chicks claim they dont listen to hip hop?
That was laughable
why they acting like Hoes don't exist
i've heard women... call other women bitches and hoes before! But its hip hop fault right? They was acting brand new and so fake like some black women don't degrade themselves at times.
Those girls in the tip drill video were there by choice
strippers oops I mean exotic dancers doing there fuckin job they
were there by choice just like the rest of them video chicks out there
I bet some of them were students at spellman
where is there accountability for being in the videos nobody held them hostage and made them shake they ass!! Nobady wants to go to the core
of the problem bring them strippers/booty dancers up there on stage and those rappers that call them like they see. Oprah is fake so far remove
from reality.

I didn't see the episode because I don't watch Oprah. But can someone explain to me why it's the rapper's fault for women dressing like sluts in the club? Why is it the rapper's fault for "exploiting women" when these same women wrap around the building to try out to be in the videos?
I'm not trying to down women or anything but I just want to know what the rational is.

Ok...ok...and yes. Good riddance to you. I hope your man enjoys you.
Denial is the first sign. Don't claim us. All you seem to do is put "us" down, they say behind every strong Black man is a strong Black sister...get your ass from behind me.
But you're not bitter...

The TIMING of this show topic proves Dr. Cornelius West's accurate assessment of Oprah, "she lacks political courage". Rather than denounce Imus's comments, she follows suite with the rest of the mainstream media that are currently playing the "blame game" with hip hop in a desperate attempt to save (Imus's crusty)face
I'm all for an open dialog addressing the misogynistic hip hop songs that overwhelm the airwaves, however, how can that be accomplished without certain mainstream rappers(who have questionable songs in the top ten), distributors, etc PRESENT? Of course, that's not necessary when a show topic is jumping on the bandwagon with the rest of the right wing media. So, once this hip hop blame game surrounding the Imus controversy simmers down, it's highly doubtful, Oprah's "concern" for hip hop will continue
