The O Is For O-ppressor

"Oprah & Friends," Oprah Winfrey's new satellite radio show, is a big hit ... among the anti-affirmative action crowd.

Among many, many other things, Oprah talked about her humble beginnings in Mississippi, and particularly about how her mother's highest aspiration for her was that she might end up cleaning white people's houses, because "they give away nice clothes." And then Oprah pointed out that now that she's Oprah, she has "all these white people" working for her, and that in fact there's only one black person on the staff. Way to turn the tables, girl.

Finally -- and this was just in the first fifteen minutes -- Oprah moved onto her most recent favorite topic, excrement. O assured Gayle that the reason she doesn't have children wasn't that she can't deal with poo, or "pooty," as the pair called it. For this -- and whatever follows -- is what XM is paying Oprah $55 million over the next three years.

Can you imagine the reaction if Bill Gates or Katie Couric bragged that he or she had "all of these black people" working for him or her? (Besides, we know they only allow Indians and Mexicans, respectively.) Or if they were seemingly proud that only one black person was on their staffs?

It's nice to see Oprah giving young black people an opportunity. Actually, considering she's such a pompous b*tch, maybe they're the lucky ones after all.

We don't use this world very lightly around BaT, but ... what a c*nt. (And that ain't "can't.")
