Oprah Rigs Contest in Favor of African American... | Gather


Oprah Network accused of fixing reality contest - Entertainment - Reality TV - TODAYshow.com

The contestant that lost the contest was gracious. But many believe the contest was rigged so the black woman could win.

I saw something about this. But least we forget, Oprah is nothing if not media savy. I have a funny feeling she will somehow squelch this bad press like she has all the others and come out smelling like a rose.

I had to laugh when I read that ABC is conducting an "investigation." Yeah right!

I take it back. I'm actually extremely uninterested in anything you have to say.

She rigged it for a black to win so no harm, no foul.

See the step dancing competition incident. However, had anyone rigged it for a white woman to win.....

Now Oprah wouldn't do anything racist like rigging her contest so that only a fellow black woman would win.

Tin foil hat race conspiracy mongering. This isn't a "new" user if you know what I mean.

Well then do not respond to my threads.

This is an open Forum and I raised a question. Maybe you are unable to think about it and answer.

Oh, sure, Oprah always picks out blacks to elevate their careers on TV---Bob Greene, Suzie Orman, Rachel Ray, Nate Berkus, Dr Phill---Oh, wait! They're all white.

Get real. Oprah has more character than to fix a contest.
