A couple of weeks ago, people on this very board were saying that Oprah acts "too white" and "not like a real black person" because of how she talked....

This quote came from this very thread right here. http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...ighlight=oprah



Now YOU come along to bitch because she wants to use popular phrases that were coined by the black community and you get pissed because of it...Well guess what chump? THEY'RE BLACK! They're allowed to use slang from their own fucking community without some white person who doesn't know his ass from his mouth criticizing them for using it.

If you're really trying to say that saying "you go girl" is "ghetto" then you're an idiot.....They say shit like that in MAINSTREAM television...How many times have I heard white kids saying "bling bling" on television? Countless times...

Oprah Winfrey was raised POOR...DIRT POOR.....I don't know how Tyra Banks was raised but she should be allowed to talk anyway the fuck she wants to...

Why don't you just shut the fuck up and quit worrying about what rich black women want to do? Just because you get scared when you're around loud black women doesn't mean you have the right to try to change the world...Go worry about all of the WHITE women that are using the very same phrases and nitpick what they do...But that would be too hard wouldn't it?
and right here is the problem with alot of black people, they feel the need to defend every other black person on earth as if they are saints.

just like OJ just like any other one, you are quick to jump to their defence just because they are black.

"this is why black folks can't win" i didnt know we still live in a day and age where there is black slavery in america? stop living like this is the past, any black person has the exact same oppurtunities if not more than the average white man.

"coined black phrases" since when is a coined phrase good english?

if i am watching someone on my tv i expect them to speak half decent english.

what does oprah being poor have to do with her speech?

i love it, always one topic with you turns into the regular:
"white man holding down the black folk"
"white mans fault for slavery"
"black man is better"

i love it.
