She should know---it certainly kept HER down. And incidentally one of the things I find most appalling about the Oprah Brigade is that it consists almost (from what I can see of her audiences etc.) of white middle class or slightly above women. Ditto that idiot magazine! Virtue signaling like mad!!!! the lot of them.

Not a shred of evidence to support this assertion.
I suspect that Oprah cannot cite a single example of a system of white people who kept a black individual off the ladder of success.

Google, Microsoft, IBM are all headed by first generation Indian immigrants. They are not white, nor are they Christian. And they are not exceptions. There is a large pyramid of overachievers and successful executives, businessmen and professionals behind them Children of black Caribbean families routinely outperform American blacks. Oprah is full of s***.

She was a no name local news person in Baltimore, left Baltimore, and within no time at all, she's appearing on national TV with her own show. People in Baltimore couldn't understand it. How did she become a national figure in such a short period of time. All this in this racist country.

But others have disadvantages as well. What about the straight white Christian male who is the most qualified for a job but loses it to the lesbian black Muslim with a limp -- but who doesn't know jack?!

Well, she has a point -- the Democrat party was started to keep certain whites in power, on the backs of blacks and poor whites.
The criminal enterprise that is the Democrat Party has expanded to include certain overseerer blacks, like Oprah and Obama, but, in general, she's right -- but not for the reasons she espouses.

Nice to know some things don't change. Oprah is still stuffed full of manure and BS. She still refuses to admit it was the white women of this nation who put her on the top of the ladder she is saying blacks can't access. One rule in this nation for every citizen that has never changed. Anybody can be successful if they put their minds to it, and make the effort. Until Oprah helps abolish the mindset of 'education is acting white' in those inner cities, the black community is going to languish where they are. It is called the American Dream Oprah, and if you would stop with the racism, and start helping people in this nation, you might do some good for a change.
Would help her community a lot if she would join Kanye in getting off the plantation known as the democrat party. For they are the mother ship of most of the misery that the black community she speaks for is suffering in. Another good question for her would be, why does she support abortion, which has destroyed at least 20-30 million unborn black babies since it was made the law of the land?

I have some uncomfortable questions: Why is it so hard for the black community to understand that having children out of wedlock is a bad idea? Why isn't it considered a problem to have children when you are barely into your teens? I continue, why is participating in your own education considered being "white"? Why don't you understand that school is not free babysitting and there is so much more to school than the "free" food? Welfare is not a life choice. Get a job, any job, and work your way up, further your education, look for a better job. Hanging with people who drink too much, use and or sell drugs, steal, carry guns and generally live a dangerous life are not your friends. Why do you accept blacks killing other blacks including way to many children/babies? We all know that the biggest threat to a black person is another black person, not a cop of any color or white people in general. Aunt Jemima is not the problem, the problem is too many blacks cannot read and follow the recipe on the box (reading is a white thing, don't you know). Why doesn't it bother you that colleges are now saying that proper English is now considered racist? So are you not smart enough to learn proper English or just to lazy? Yeah, I have uncomfortable questions too.

Oprah dear it is all about attitude and behavior. You tried empowering young Black women through special schooling In America and it was a sad and utter failure. So much so you moved your “benevolence” to Africa.
Whites have absolutely nothing to do with the poor decisions made by Blacks and bear no responsibility for their apparent lack of achievement. It is not “too White” to study, to work hard and compete for opportunities. Then show up, do the job and enjoy the fruits of YOUR labor, not someone else’s.

The African American community should look into their school systems and their educators. Make sure your teachers are the best so that when your children graduate high school they know how to write and speak well and do math. English should be taught as a subject starting in the second grade. If some educators believe that simple English is some kind of a white supremacy thing, they should listen to Oprah speak. She does not speak "ebonics"; I think that is what some call African-American English.
Ben Carson was raised by a single mother in public housing and is world-renown brain surgeon and a wonderful husband and father. I also believe he and his mom are practicing Christians. Oprah should stop blaming everything on someone else and start with the schools.

I taught black students most of which were wonderful individuals. Two, however really fought being in school to learn in all of their classes. The first said "studying was for whites" and the second said both of his parents (who lived separately) "always received monthly checks and he would too, so he would never need a job."
If Oprah would try to eliminate those mindsets instead of teaching victimhood it would help. Blacks have and are given opportunities, sometimes they just don't realize them.

Construction companies are also made to compete handicapped by theses same rules. Opera has made billions from white people.

She made her billions while in Chicago, a very segregated city, which is dominated by liberal democrats, and Ward bosses who essentially have their own fiefdom, a city oozing of patronage.
Thus, it's likely nearly all of those she's referring to are white, liberal democrats.
Look around at Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle and other cities with "very liberal democrats", and you can see who's keeping black americans off the ladder of success, Oprah.
Generally speaking, education is the key to success, along with hard work, and determination. With most African-American communities polling over 65% for school choice, but the education establishment rejecting this option.
Oprah, if you really want change, and improvement, you should stop supporting the white liberal democrats and give Republicans a chance for the next decade. I'll bet you see more improvement, and not just talk that's been coming out of democrats for the last 55 years.

Stop blaming whitey. Has the black community done enough to combat the problems that are besetting them? Hell no.
Women having babies with multiple men. Men siring multiple babies and fooling around. No real family unit. Broken homes. Children raising children. Children with no parents, and gangs becoming parents.
Drug addiction and alcohol addiction to the point that it leads to brain damage where people cannot think straight. Cannot get an education. Cannot hold a job.
Neighborhoods with sky high crime that are systemically destroyed by their residents.
Whitey never told blacks to behave like this so stop blaming whitey.

It's not a "White" system. It's a "successful" system, the best in history, and available for any who choose to participate and rewards those who participate. And we KNOW it is not race based because there are far too many Black multi millionaires and those of other races to support that claim.
Now, no one needs to participate but if they choose not to, they get no rewards either. THAT is the complaint of the Socialists. They want rewards for no effort. They think that getting an education is "acting White". They think that having a work ethic and acting respectfully is "acting White". So, they don't "act White" and they fail.
