Anyways. Its nothing wrong with your opinion. everybody has one about everything and everyone, hell I know I have people that have their opinion about me. But I don’t give fluck what anybody thinks about me or how they feel. If they do it in public than they should be able to take it. The point I was simply making is when somebody has a problem with Oprah spending 30 million of her 2.5 billion on her dogs (which is like sales tax to her) than lets call out the bigger dummies that literally throw money away just so they can look like a “baller” in front of a bunch of people that don’t give a shnit if you get hit by lighting in the next 3 seconds. I got my opinions to and I know some people don’t like them either. I am all for freedom of expression, but if you express yourself about me too much I might have to kill you

Since you continue to try to play my intelligence by implying that I am uninformed, and that I am unable of comprehending what you have written, I decided to break down my response to your statements. It’s funny how my statement about Oprah received more of a response than my comments about Obama. Like she’s the candidate! HA! I’m not into internet arguements, so this will be my last post to this thread. Feel free to respond anyway if you choose to. ;O)

dblaq please read down for my response to your comment.

I would bet, my “barely above the poverty line” checks: If Oprah sent “AReUForREAL” a $30-million check for being “REAL”: you would not return it, with a note attached reading “Dear Oprah, This could have gone to a much better place”…be for real before you comment on that too.

___________________________________________________________

Your damn right I would keep her check and do all the things I have been wanting to do for the needy in this country for soooooo long. I don’t have a reason to fake about that at all. And, if you knew me and were judging by more than one statement on a blog you would know that already. And, I never called myself being “REAL” about anything. My screen name is actually posed as a question, but due to character restrictions I was unable to add a question mark. ;o)

in the midst of it all, it sounds like “I am a very educated woman” got a little sensitive. Did you feel personally attacked or something…I am not sure if you read my post or just scanned it. Please re-read: I was not challenging your right to “DO YOU”

PREVIOUS STATEMENT

ggouch Says:
AreUforReal, I hope the above statement was after some true research. I note: you didn’t mention who you are for. Therefore it sounds like your opinion is a regurgitation of gossip and tabloid hearsay.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Now if this is not a personal attack on my intelligence then what it is. You assume because I didn’t state who I’m voting for that my opinions are based on hearsay as if I’m not intelligent enough to do my own research on ALL the candidates, not just the Democratic, and make an informed decision. If your not attacking me personally then don’t direct statements like this directly towards me.

Your words lead me to think you took it personal…and that with all the good Oprah does, the thing you can’t forget is that she is leaving money to the care of her dogs…..

I am not on a secrete response team recruiting Oprah fans. I was just pointing out that it is her right to give what and to whom she chooses. And that as educated women, when we point out something so simplistic as Oprah leaving money to her animals, perhaps it should not stop there.

@dblaq Says:

Also that 30 Million is her money,if she chooses to make it rain on these ****es that is her choice.

I don’t hear anybody saying **** when these dummies make it rain in every damn club they go to. That money can probably buy one of their kids some school clothes or health insurance. Instead of throwing it on some nasty punnany in the strip club especially these chicks won’t think twice of the rain maker.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Again if it’s out there for public scrutiny I have a right to my opinion. And, in my opinion $30 million dollars to her dogs is ridiculous. I could understand if it was to the humane society, or something, but for 6-8 dogs! Come on now. There are a few things that bother me about Oprah, and no I don’t feel the need to elaborate on what those things are to you. Just because she is an African- American woman with power does not mean that I have to be apart of her support squad.

And, as far as Oprah being an educated woman. I have never attacked her intelligence. I think that she is a beautiful, intelligent, inspirational woman. With that being said I am still entitled to my opinion of the things that are presented to me about her through the media. It may seem “hater-ish” to you, but what “hater-ish” to me is your attack on my personal opinion.

dblaq I completely agree with the second part of your statement. I am always talking about how these rapper and entertainers are quick to yell how much they love their “hood”, but don’t take the time to help their communities. If they put half of what they spend on jewelry and entertainment into community based programs they could make a world of difference. Look at the programs that entertainers like David Banner have started. He goes back to his block on a regular basis giving children cloths and food, and encouraging them to be better and strive for greatness. I commend people like that. People that take a hands on approach to the problem instead on pointing the finger and chastising.

I couldn’t agree more

LMAO,

Before I go further Queen, allow me to give you kudos for being “EDUCATED” and exercising your rights via written expression. You can like, vote, watch and hate on anyone you want to. Life is grand that way…..

I still pose the question though “Are you informed?”

You said: A true philanthropist worries about the welfare of ALL humans not just the ones that get them press time.

A simple Google search gave me (You’ll notice the word ALL is omitted):

A Philanthropist is…

•Someone who promotes human welfare and goodwill through the donation of time, assistance, and gifts.

•Someone who makes charitable donations intended to increase human well-being

•Someone who donates his or her time, money, or reputation to a charitable cause

Are you “INFORMED” that when Oprah has her give-away shows…those gifts come with a stipulation, if not for the audience, than for the companies that are donating the gifts?

For example:
She once gave $1,000 BOA debit cards to her audience. The stipulation was the recipients had to give the money, in whatever denominations they pleased, to their favorite charities, or to individuals in need.

I have to ask this question, to myself as well, what impact could my $3.75 three days a week, Starbucks purchase, make if I was diligent in giving back.

I am not on a secrete response team recruiting Oprah fans. I was just pointing out that it is her right to give what and to whom she chooses. And that as educated women, when we point out something so simplistic as Oprah leaving money to her animals, perhaps it should not stop there. It’s what most would call “Supporting the argument”…

Your words lead me to think you took it personal…and that with all the good Oprah does, the thing you can’t forget is that she is leaving money to the care of her dogs…..

Not putting words in your mouth at all dear heart: I am simply saying (opinionating) that we have to stop hating on the rich and the way they choose to spend their money, EMPHASIS on THEIR MONEY. If pastor called us out for the weeks we failed to tithe…OMG!

I would bet, my “barely above the poverty line” checks: If Oprah sent “AReUForREAL” a $30-million check for being “REAL”: you would not return it, with a note attached reading “Dear Oprah, This could have gone to a much better place”…be for real before you comment on that too.

BTW your comment “I am constantly telling Sandra to stop all of her antics”….uhmmmm…not sure what that means at all….you still sound a bit…just a little bit…HATER-ISH.

Namasté Queen.

Also that 30 Million is her money,if she chooses to make it rain on these ****es that is her choice.

I don’t hear anybody saying **** when these dummies make it rain in every damn club they go to. That money can probably buy one of their kids some school clothes or health insurance. Instead of throwing it on some nasty punnany in the strip club especially these chicks won’t think twice of the rain maker.

Not trying to sound negative, but clean campaigns don’t win the White House. Never have - never will.

If Obama wins the Democratic nomination, he will definitely have to be prepared for the real possibility of fighting dirty. He has to be tested and tried like all of the Presidential candidates do. This is the one of the most - if not the most - powerful position in the world. And only the strong survive. If Obama and his supporters can’t endure the fight from Hillary (cause trust - the Clintons are going VERY EASY on him), what are they going to do if Obama goes up against the GOP later this year? They will be FAR worse than Hillary.

I also I wanted to ask what makes my comment so ridiculous. Please elaborate. I’ll be back tomorrow ;O)
