The obvious solution is to just end the show. Preserve it in amber as a cultural relic and deal with it as a piece of history. Why does it need to still be on the air?

A real classic case of ‘your fave is problematic’. I don’t begrudge her any success and I will not pretend I don’t know Bodak Yellow front to back but idk if upgrading her to ‘motivational compass’ is a wavelength I’m on.

People still go to Tony Robbins seminars? I thought he turned into one giant fossilized tooth years ago.

Yeah people need to stop pretending he’s anything but a hypocritical contrarian.

Bill Maher is trash.

Bernie will never admit racism has anything to do with the way white people vote. Remember that mess about Trump voters aren’t racist but feel abandoned by mainstream politicians.

Dem losses during the Obama tenure are a fact, but Sanders is missing the boat on why those losses occurred. White resentment shot through the roof following Obama’s election and while people focused on the national Tea Party candidates, the biggest disruption was in State government.

I’m pretty sure you didn’t mean your phrasing to sound this way, but you can’t go to a party just dressed as “a black woman” because that’s pretty dang offensive! Races are not a costume! But if you wanted to dress as, say, Dionne from Clueless, DO NOT DARKEN YOUR SKIN DO NOT WEAR A DREADLOCK WIG. Those things come…

Maybe if there was a costume that was pretty much entirely about the clothes and not about the physical attributes of the person really at all. And probably only fictional characters; seems iffier to go for an actual person.

That’s not correct. You don’t want to discourage white children from dressing up as Tiana or Jasmine. Because it’s good for white kids to look up to people of different races.

As much as it pains me to say it, look up Jimmy Fallon going as Lucius(sp?) Lyon one year. That’s the way to do it.

No.

My issue also was Diana Ross very rarely wore an afro. I mean, it was really about the long hair. But that’s another story.

A start? She is running to be a governor of a state, not a city. She should be talking about state issues from the start if she was for real.

Heck, this is so common Law & Order (the Mothership) did an episode about it way back in 1995!

I feel comfortable in saying that if Oprah ran for governor of Illinois, she’s get the full support of all Democrats. Going right to the POTUS with no political experience can be, as we are seeing right now, a fucking disaster.

Or maybe you just don’t realize good art when you see it? I think she’s one of the more talented artists to come out of America in decades. She has vision, talent, and she knows all the issues back and forth. You can think she sucks, that’s just your opinion though. Most people think she’s a luminary though and really…

If only there were a way to easily find out... [types “black population of South America” in Google search].. maybe look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Latin_Americans

Many. Have you ever heard of, say, Brazil? (Among others.) Not every country in South America is primarily “mestizo,” or like Argentina, where 97% of the population is of European descent because almost all of the indigenous people were killed.

Ever heard of a little country called Brazil?
