Question:
What happened to OPRAH'S color-blindness?
There was a time when Oprah seemed to be colorblind.
Color didn't seem to matter to her.
And I liked that about her.
Lately though, I have noticed a change in Oprah,
she ONLY seems to be concerned with her own kind NOW and it worries me.
Should I be worried?
Answers:
Oprah has always been racially conscious. With the past that she's had, the experiences - there is no possible way to disregard that. Additionally, with situations affecting black communities now more than ever - she would be doing a grave disservice to write them off and not to be one of the voices to sound off on them.
It's not a cause for worry, you have to be realistic. There is a difference between being color blind and being straight up ignorant. You want her to be the road trip, book club, giving away free sh*t Oprah, and sorry, she can't be that Oprah all the time.
