    Post Oprah to end her talk show

    Saw this when I was checking my email this morning. I'm not a fan of hers but I can say it's sad to see her go. Considering how much she had changed with her show. http://www.popeater.com/2009/11/19/o...s-show-2011%2F
    You know better; next time will be a ban.

    Evan, you do realize she came from less than you and now has more than you will ever touch right? She is a very smart woman.

    No. It doesn't start nor end with her money dude. She built herself an empire from scratch. Look at the millions of people that are her devoted fans. All the things in the world she helped change. She has probably done more than you or me either one will ever do, even combined.

    "It's official, The Oprah Winfrey Show will officially end it's reign as the Queen of Daytime Talk Television in September of 2011. That gives us about 24 months to give Oprah a bitter sweet goodbye."

    Besides Simon, everyone around the world that has or has had a tv at some point knows who Oprah is. Doesn't matter who you are.

    So, there are levels of importance of what you've done in your life, based upon assets, fans, etc? Does it matter that she had nothing and now has plenty, when talking about what kind of person she is? You think people get extremely rich by being a good person? LOL. I'm past the whole, "I want to grow up to be rich and/or famous" thing. I hope I grow up to be a good, honest man that people can trust and call a friend, while still provide plenty for my family to live in comfort.

    All the things in the world she helped change. She has probably done more than you or me either one will ever do, even combined.
    Since you know all these wonderful things she's done for the human society, start naming some that should make me feel inferior. Why should I measure how good of a person I am by Oprah Winfrey? She's a person, I'm not going to judge myself off another person.

    Dude my point went right over your head. She has done a lot for people around the world. Like getting charities setup, doing shows on different things to bring it to the attention of millions of people. So I guess stuff like that doesn't count tho? Also she started the whole giving of presents and gifts away during her show, especially around the holidays.

    Oprah Winfrey can be a great person without a television show.

    Change your tampon, her show is ending.

    Like I said in my first post, I'm not a fan. But, this is an end to a tv reign she has held for a long time now. You can be a good person, but how many black people had their own talk show before Oprah?

    Why does it matter if she's white or black?


    That's why there's racism in this world today.

    The only thing to do is to point and laugh at the native speicies found in there. It's like a trip to a nature preserve...just look and comment..sometimes point, but don't take anything home with you.

    "Winfrey was called "arguably the world's most powerful woman" by CNN and Time.com, "arguably the most influential woman in the world" by the American Spectator, "one of the 100 people who most influenced the 20th Century" and "one of the most influential people" of 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 by Time. Winfrey is the only person in the world to have made all six lists."

    You missed the point again. I didn't start racism nor am I condoning it. But she did help change a lot of things that deal with it.

    If it doesn't matter, it's not significant. If people want equal treatment, don't make one person special because they were the first of that race to do something or have something. That's retarded as fuck.

    I'd say that alone makes her a hell of a person. It's one thing to be a famous rich person, but being that influential takes a lot more.

    You said she's special because she's black, meaning if a white woman had a tv show, she wouldn't be as important. That's racist and you're racist.

    I'm sure she wasn't the first, but she did help change it for the future.

    lol@thisthread.

    anyway, to continue,

    Bill O'Reilly said:
    “I mean this is a woman that came from nothing to rise up to be the most powerful woman, I think, in the world. I think Oprah Winfrey is the most powerful woman in the world, not just in America. That's — anybody who goes on her program immediately benefits through the roof. I mean, she has a loyal following; she has credibility; she has talent; and she's done it on her own to become fabulously wealthy and fabulously powerful."

    im not a fan of good ol bill, but he speaks some troof
