Why Oprah is a phony.

Donna...I am sorry if you percieve contempt on my part. I do not have contempt for Richard.

I think a woman who was born poor and black in the Jim Crow South, succeeds beyond dream due to hardwork, smarts, and some good luck should be admired. She is a role model for all of us...especially young black women...that in America, if you work hard and study and are diligent, you can succeed...regardless of the circumstances of your birth.

I do not believe she should be called a phony because someone does not agree with how she decides to give millions of the dollars she earned -- through her hard work -- to help others.

She preaches hard work, education, sobriety, empathy and generosity. And she lives what she preaches.

Does that make her a phony? A fool?

I don't know her so I do not know if I "like" her or not...but I certainly respect her.
