It is quite clear that some people have some personal inner issues of their own. Oprah is human and so is Obama who both happens to be black and so am I. Oprah encourages a black man, builds a school for poor African children or have tabloid gossip written about her, "(which is just rumor/gossip and not your business to be spreading it, as if you sat down had tea and she told you)”. Some of you want to tear her down. Yet, when she is dishing out cars, supporting DR Phil/OZ/John Travolta and other favorites you all fill the audience, first in line. I have never sat in her audience any closer than my TV screen, and I live in Chicago. I do not just like Oprah, I love her heart, it is big. Oprah reaches out to many and brings solutions while many hurting people leave feeling better even if it is for one moment. Now that Oprah is supporting Barrack Obama, "you, yes, you" have a problem with it. “Are black women not permitted to support black men once they reach a certain income bracket or just plain not at all?” My vote is something of value and it is my right to choose. For some of you, I pray you get a new heart, new attitude and realize that Oprah has a right to choose to support a black man. Our ancestors and family members fought, died and took beatings just so Oprah, I and many others could have this right to vote and speak freely and live out our dreams, (“ like you”). This is not about ones race, “it is about America that which happens to include minorities. You will have to live with our existence and you can do that better if you work on the personal prejudice that you have. Fear not, we do not bite. We just want to live free. (“Like you”).
