Around Black Voices, we're quite familiar with
See, the talk-show host doesn't have time for computers. Woman is busy. And if she's going to bang out a 200-word tribute to the second-most-powerful woman in the free world, she's got to use a mobile device. "I was doing it on a BlackBerry," Oprah confessed. "No!" we gasped. "Yes!" she howled.
She went on, a small group of eavesdroppers gathering 'round at Jazz at Lincoln Center to hear how this nail-biter would unfold. "I'd been saving little notes on my BlackBerry. You know, I'd think of something and I'd put it on BlackBerry in the memo section," she explained. "And then I went to hit the wrong button and the whole thing deleted! I went to hit 'Save' and instead I hit ... 'Oh my God! Oh my God! It's gone!' That ever happened to you? And then you can't remember - not one sentence you wrote."
With some words of encouragement from longtime beau Stedman Graham, she was able to write it over again. What do you think of her rewrite? Weigh in below.

I am very tired of Oprah Winfrey. She is nothing but a suck up and a Groupie to the First Family, especially Mrs. Obama. Really O. is a suck up to anybody. Oprah is a has been and a wanna be, and uses her money to get next to anybody of any type of substance whether it be anybody of power or the movies or politics. If it were not for her show, she would be an absolute nobody, and she seems not to know that. She thinks errybody is her " very best best best friend"....gimme a break. Every chance O. get she is going to invade the privacy of Mrs. Obama. Parties, photo shoots...you name it. O will be lagging around. I am sure Mrs. Obama does not request the presence of OPRAH WINFREY. She bully's her way in because of her money.

Oprah has not try to change who she is Oprah know who she is and is not trying to be anyone else. So to who ever wrote that on Ms. O acting white is wrong. I have been watching Oprah show since Oct 1986 and she has alway been the same person. She has grown over the years. But that does not mean she been acting white. She is one of the most intelligence person in the world. And race has nothing to do with it. What Ms.O has was given to her by God and race has nothing to do with it. If God give it to you nobody can take it away from you. I am a black women and I am very proud of Ms. O I can tell my children honor God, father, Son, and the Holy Spirit . But as a person walking on early now I tell them Ms. O has lead the way for all people and it does not matter race, creed, or color honor Ms.O. That lady is not doing it by herself God angel is following or carrying each step of the way. so to who ever talk about Ms. O in a hurting way She is a child of God so watch your words.
