re: Poor Oprah- Shocked by backlash and 'online attacks'

look, i'm no fan of Oprah (or celebrities in general), but this is stupid. she isnt obligated to donate a red fricking cent, and $5 million dollars is a lot of money regardless of how big the denominator is.

---

We've had fundraisers on TVs with celebrities for as long as I can remember for the huge catastrophies.

Wasn't there one for Hurricane Katrina?


I've never heard rampant complaints about them, but all of a sudden it's a big issue now...when everyone whines about everything nowadays.

When I say democrats I mean you and the democrat voters.

You're not making any sense right now, you're arguing purely on emotion and rambling incoherently and stating shite that is dumb and inaccurate.

quote:

---

Obviously, every politician wants your money.

---

Where were you every other time celebrities asked you to donate after big US catastrophies? Nope, nothing. But now they tell you to be outraged, you don't think for yourself, so you fall in line and become outraged and don't even know why.


You donated to Hawaii, right?

Both Winfrey, 69, and Johnson, 52, committed $5 million each

Committed does not mean paid. If these two don't actually pay that money, they are going to get crushed by the public.

One of the most famous things in American public television history is the old Jerry Lewis telethons where it was celebrities asking for money

This board has jumped the shark

I have no issue with oprah.

You literally ran in here to simp for her because she received backlash on the internet.

shite, for some reason I thought the Kanye thing was after 9/11, bad memory on my part.


So yea, all these south LA folks, I bet they were livid about all those celebrities on TV trying to raise money for our gulf region, right dgnx? You hated that, and complained about it, right?

So The Oprah and The Rock are contributing money to wildfire victims and ask others to do the same and this is a problem? What am I missing here?

---

You're missing the times we live in today where people are told to be mad about something, so they don't question it and just get mad about it.

It's no different than celebrities getting on TV asking for money for all the other big catastrophes we've had in the US, but only NOW does it make people mad.
