Is Oprah Planning A Reality Show?
Monday March 21, 2005
There's a story published on at least two popular entertainment websites claiming that Oprah Winfrey will star in a reality series that will take her from the high life of Chicago to the poverty-stricken streets of the inner city for an entire month. Even though Oprah is known for bringing attention to poverty, I thought the reality show plan sounded a bit strange. When I called Oprah's Harpo Studios to get the facts, a publicist for the star told me there is absolutely "no truth" to the story -- which is actually too bad. This Oprah fan would definitely tune in to a reality show starring the talk show diva. Read more about Oprah.

I am willing to bet my life that the recipients of this reality show will be white. Oprah does not cater to blacks and has no need for them. You might mention Katrina and how she helped blacks there, but who was the 99% majority of people affected by Katrina. Oprah’s audiience is white, middle class women. She has no use for blacks, especially black men.
