"What would it be like to walk into Oprah Winfrey's consciousness?"
OMG! (I'm not sure I've ever written OMG! before.)

"What would it be like to walk into Oprah Winfrey's consciousness?"

I truly hope I never find out the answer to this question.

6. I'll never forgot when Oprah had an Iraq-war show w/Judith Miller & drummed up war fever.
It was all one-sided - in favor of the war in Iraq. It was very shocking. I've never figured out what that was all about. Then she played up Arnold Schwarzeneger for governor after all this stuff came out about him being a harrasser.

7. Remember "Being John Malkovich"...
...and what happened when the title star entered his own mind? I picture something similar.

"Oprah, Oprah, Oprah, Oprah, Oprah, Oprah, Oprah, Oprah, Oprah, Oprah, Oprah, Oprah, Oprah, Oprah, Oprah, Oprah, Oprah, Oprah, Oprah, Oprah,..."

8. For sale - $45- $120 glass bead and telephone wire bowls
and baskets, handmade by African women; wonder how much they get paid for their handi-work.

BTW-Welcome to DU.

I hate the 'it's just human nature' argument.

But that's just me.

15. Speaking for myself, I don't have a candidate. I just think Oprah's gross.
A 'pie-in-the-sky bye & bye' stooge; a 'buy this & you'll be OK' kind of person. She's about as 'authentic' as someone on late-night TV telling you, you can buy real estate for no money down & make MILLIONS. She's a scam artist.

I don't 'get' Oprah at all.

Her race? Makes no difference to me. Bullshit is bullshit. Her success? This is capitalism, most successes are crooks. The whole system is based on exploiting the labor of others.

It's no biggie to me. I just think she's gross. She stands out. It makes her a target.

Eh...
