Audio: Gay man upset with Oprah Winfrey (Negro woman of the South)

Okay, he does sound extreme, but the dude has a point. She didn’t have to send a personally written letter from herself, but she could have sent a prefabricated catch all type letter for viewers to acknowlege receipt of their mail. It takes no time to do that. I understand his anger though i do think he was being extreme.

Celebrities have to realize that they have fans from years and years ago, those that has followed them throughout their careers and have been their supporting them rooting them on from the beginning….if you lose your core fans, then what!

I do see also see where he says she seems to kiss white folks ass a bit more than usual, and in my opinion, she seems a bit uncomfortable when black people comment or are on stage with her. She seems naturally more at ease with people who are not of color. This is just my opinion, i don’t know if anyone else notice this…i mean she seems to get uncomfortable when black people speak on her show, whether they are from the audience or on stage with her. And she does seem to honor more white people requests than blacks or ethnic ones. I hear she’s pretty generous, but her rise to fame seemed to have changed her a bit. I don’t deny i see a change. She’s less down to earth than she had been with she was the big woman, hugging black women from the ghetto on her sofa on her show when she first came out. I doubt if we’ll ever see that again. Oprah must remember the days when her core and only fans where black women, black housewives, black female college students, and so forth…all the other fans such as the white females came much letter after she had been established by her black core fans and made extra famous by the rappers who hated her message on her show. They shouted her out in their music, though not in a good way. But promotion is promotion, and she rose fairly quickly after that.

This guy is a little off, however, he did take the time, as one of her core fans from the beginning, to send her a certified letter (which cost extra postage for those who don’t know), a request, the same as white people do, but she couldn’t send him a prefabricated pre-printed by the thousands, catch all note, that says, your letter was received. I think he just wanted acknowledgement that she received it, and that she somehow valued his time to write to her.

She might be losing touch a bit with her fans. This letter was writen in early 2001, and i’m noticing now her star is falling a bit, and she is losing fans. At least that’s what the new york post is reporting as of 2 weeks ago. To say in control and power, you must maintain your core fan base cause they are the ones who will be there for you in the end, when all the other fake bandwagon jumpers leave you for the next hot thing. Celebrities should stay humble, be thoughtful of their fan base, and remember their roots cause sometime God has a way of starting us over at square one.
