I don't like Oprah, much like I don't like this mind numbing thread...but, I have to ask like Ernest, what has she done that makes her racist?
I kind of always see these claims of Oprah being racist, but no one can ever explain to me what makes her so. Does Oprah dislike white people due to them being white? if yes, what are some instances that I should look at that would prove so?
It must be agitating at times being a black male on this website....
I'm going to recommend a book for everyone to read. It's catered to preschoolers...but in this case...everyone should check it out. I read it to my eldest son once a week. I hate to even introduce him to "racism." The book does just that (in a positive manner), but eventually he will be exposed to it.

Here is a quick summary of the book:
With rhymed couplets and goofy illustrations, this parable attempts to teach that love looks beyond superficial differences. Reitano, an educator and speaker, asks, "What if the zebras/ lost their stripes,/ and some lost black/ and some lost white?" Would the zebras recognize their common identity, or would they begin to notice their new differences in color and start to fight? Would they move to separate lands, or would the young zebras be allowed to laugh and play together?
