Oprah Hosts Rutgers Girls

[Air-Warrior]

Oprah's going to host the victims of Imus' slurs on her show. Oo rah.

How soon before she hosts the wrongly-accused Duke Lacrosse players?


...not gonna hold my breath on that bleeding heart sow.

I actually saw the interview she had with them yesterday. I thought it was quite good considering the circumstances. I personally didnt see too much of a problem with it other than the whole "he stole our moment" bit.

As for whether or not she will have the Duke players on or not I dont know; she may, she may not. Its her show, her choice. My personal opinion is that she probably should.

Friends of mine had watched Oprah for years and wanted to see her show live. When they finally got in, Oprah on commercial break was telling the audience, "I'm BLACK and I LOVE BEING BLACK! I'm PROUD of BLACKNESS! I wouldn't want to be ANYTHING ELSE!" Went on and on in this vein, getting downright vociferous about it, currying the black segment of the audience and making the white segment feel intimidated and excluded.

My friends don't watch Oprah anymore.

Pat Buchanan, who many on this board seem to dislike, had the best comment (http://www.vdare.com/buchanan/070412_imus.htm) I've seen to date on the relative "damage" done to the Rutger's girls basketball team.


And lest we forget, these are athletes in their prime, the same age as young women in Iraq. They are not 5-year-old girls, and they are capable of brushing off an ignorant comment by a talk-show host who does not know them, or anything about them.
Who, after all, believed the slur was true? No one.
Compare, if you will, what was done to them—a single nasty insult—to the savage slanders for weeks on end of the Duke lacrosse team and the three players accused by a lying stripper of having gang-raped her at a frat party.
Duke faculty and talking heads took that occasion to vent their venom toward all white "jocks" on college campuses. Where are the demands for apologies from the talk-show hosts, guests, Duke faculty members and smear artists, all of whom bought into the lies about those Duke kids—because the lies comported with their hateful view of America?
And hate is what this is all about.
