Oprah replies a critic on Twitter. Love her reply!

 
Before criticizing others about giving back, check yourself first!

  1. Oprah is obviously disconnected from reality.

    What has the ghetto got to do with African American men? Is that the question the dude asked?

    5. I think you are rather disconnected from rational thinking. She may have picked these 500 African American men from the ghetto.

      Delete
    6. Ask yourself this question first. Who are the ghetto he is referring to ...white American men? Mtsheew

      Delete
    7. You are definitely stupid for that comment...those that live in the ghetto,are 90 percent of them not black "African Americans"...so make sure you read what's happening first before you start making stupid comment

      Delete
    8. U are obviously disconnected from reality . 500 african American men from d ghetto going to college is not giving back I dunno what is. I guess u want her to go give them food ? If u dunno something next time BE QUIET!!!

  3. Nice one! She served it piping hot! I hate when people feel they have a right to charity! Even if she's your sister she doesn't owe you a dime!! The earlier people learn this the better. The only person one should depend on for charity is GOD and no one else...else you risk living a live driven by the whims of your benefactor.

    5. I'm asking u that same question too Roman Osas? Oprah owes nobody any dine,if she decides to give to charity,its between her and God,if she is training 500 people,how many have u done? People would just throw stupid questions at rich people. I don't just get. That answer she gave him,is the best I have seen but she could have done more by asking the person if she owes him a dine.. Allow the rich to spend there money how they want it pls.. If they want to give,let them,if they don't want,let them,let God handle it

      Delete
    8. I am not a fan of oprah but do you knw how much it costs to put 1 person thru college in the states talkless of 500? Must have cost her millions and this is not her only charity work. Do not use that as an excuse for not giving. Give what you can to the needy

      Delete
    9. Can u imagine? Mr Romans did u at anytime put money in her pocket and instruct her on how to spend it?
      Its time we learn to encourage people n not to discourage dem.
      A better approach like"Oprah ve seen d gud works u do,pray God strenghtens u. I will appreciate if u take a closer look on those at d ghettos.Thanks n God bless "
      Dis would move her to do more.
      People should start learning how to address issues.

  7. The tweet between Oprah and AwalkDaTalk is a pre-planned (amatuer) publicity stunt. I can bet you that Oprah did not personally send the reply. People at Oprah's level and age have no time to tweet. They have better things to do. They have paid employees who tweet (and brainwash the public on their behalf). In the past, many have called Oprah "the anti-Christ", "lesbian", and whatever, but she never responded. She "responded" to her "critic" now because it serves her INTEREST. She'd never respond to other things she been accused cos it don't serve her interest. There's nothing wrong with philanthropy, but it's very very vulgar to talk about the help you've given to others. The normal Oprah would not blow her own trumpet. This issue on Twitter is a mess / fiasco and I'd blame her PR manager. That's my opinion.

    2. Kemikal, you are bullshitting. What do you mean people her age and status don't tweet. My dear, you need to stop being ignorant. So twitter is for the average man? Is everything ok with you?
      This is not Nigeria where some people stop using the Internet when they get married because they claim to "have better things" to do. Bullshit!

    3. Oprah has the right to "blow her own trumpet". She's worked hard to get where she is today! And if you are not stuck in your ignorant world, you will hear that a lot of African Americans criticise Oprah. They say she is "white" and doesn't care for black people. She doesn't agree with the use of the N word, bitch, hoe etc and some black people think she's snobbish for that. So yes, she is criticised by her own people and that's why she gave that reply!

    Kemikal are you with Oprah to know that she doesnt reply her tweets or tweet at all? when staff tweet for celebrities tweets are signed "so and so's team" i follow Oprah and she tweets PERSONALLY or are you trying to tell me that her staff also post personal photos of her at home and reply to tweets between her and her celebrity friends start following her on twitterr instead of yarning rubbish

  17. If i were African American, I would be offended by Oprah's response. Someone asks you about the ghetto and you respond by mentioning African American. So Ghetto = African American abi? Anyway she's kuku AA too, she can take whatever heat this brings, if any.

    ReplyDelete
  18. ROMAN OSAS, you think because you are paying 2 kobo to attend Lautech, or Ogun Poly or whatever razz school, college education is cheap in Yankee? Go do some research and then come back to discuss what it means for one woman to send 500 people to college in America.

    ReplyDelete
  19. that serves him right. putting 500 people through is not small, at least she has done something good to the world not to the 500 people alone, cos the world will benefit from what ever they do. All we need do is urge her to do more

    ReplyDelete
  20. I can tell you for sure that Oprah does the tweeting herself. She is an amazing woman, down to earth and loves creating those personal touches. No matter how poor one is you can always impact on one who is worse than you. Quote me!

  24. if one woman can impact 500 african american men, they can impact (500*500=25000) who can in turn impact (25000*500) and so on. so anon 11:16, just shut the fuck up as if she hasnt answered the question.

    besides, she owes nobody a dime. thats the richest black woman anyhow. mshewwww

  29. @Anon July 30, 2012 11:16 PM: If you cant see the connection between giving back to the ghetto community and putting 500 AFRICAN AMERICAN MEN thru college, then ur a moron.

    @Kemikal: Though you are entitled to your opinion, I def disagree with your comment about people like Oprah (Celebs?) not having the time to tweet. Yes some of them do leave the tweeting to their aides, however a lot of them take a large amount of pride in tweeting personally and Oprah is one of them. Others include Rihanna, Kerri Hilson, Rev Run, Justin Beiber just to name a few.

    Good response Oprah!

  30. GREAT response. People keep point fingers and yet in their own small world, they have done NOTHING! OPRA cannot possibly SAVE THE WORLD. she can only do her bit.

  40. It's unbelievable how ppl feel entitled. The fact that celebs & millionaires have money doesn't mean they MUST help the poor. That's their personal choice not a requirement. But many of them do. This generation is so "what can u do for me" and not "what can I do for u"; whether rich or poor, we all have the ability to give back - if we choose. (it's not by force)

  44. Oprah has not only put 500 Apepole through college'the woman has to be the most generous! We all have seen how she's changed lives with her kindness? Even Africa has benefited from her.. You don't need to have billions before you help people. Start with the little you have and take your eyes off other people's wealth.

  49. Hey wait a minute,,isn't Oprah being so modest here rather immodest as she is being accused by some LIB readers,..she put 500 black men through college,put another black man in the white house..not to mention the black women she has put thru college and her charity work in africa and arround the world....the trickle down effect of 500 educated blackmen and a black president is unquantifiable..
