Is Oprah Winfrey American or African?

Both.  Don't know what it matters, though....

Apparently, Oprah doesn't like rappers.  She feels by putting them on her show she is "empowering" them.  Here's a blog report:\n\nhttp://p076.ezboard.com/fpoliticalpalacefrm69.showMessage?topicID=461.topic

the answer is 0...There are some black americans. but technically they are not "african americans"...an african american is born in africa and then migrates to the usa....a black american is born here.....if this wasn't true, it would make me a german, irish, english, indian american.....but im not...im a white american...

You cannot be serious. Oprah is an idol. Tyra Banks is a temperamental, ill mannered   " wanna-be ".

Blacks do not call themselves Afro-Americans. That's what white people started putting on apps. I don't consider myself an Afro-American nor do I consider myself and African- American. I was not born or raised in Africa nor have I ever been. My mother or father has never been nor have their parents or the ones before them. That's just another way to let others know  they are referring to a dark skinned person.

As my "spiritual leader?"  Of course NOT.\n\nOn the other hand, I have a lot of respect for Oprah.  She's come a long ways and has a good head on her shoulders.

There's plenty...Alice Paul, Pocahontas, Amelia Earhart, Carrie Chapman Catt, Susan B. Anthony, Rosa Parks, Elanor Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, Madame C.J. Walker, Annie Sullivan, Helen Keller, Lucille Ball, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Zora Neale Hurston, Emily Dickinson, Marilyn Monroe...just to name a few. I suppose some people would consider Oprah Winfrey a hero too...I guess it depends on what you're looking for.\nThere's countless others. I hope this helps you.

Wasn't that show interesting! I could look at henry's parents and tell that he wasn't all black even his great great grand mother looked like she was german! but i am not that surprised by Oprah she looks asian to me! So does mae jamison. honestly the fact that there are a lot of white people that could have black in them did not surprise me at all. there were alot of blacks that passed and went into society with out being discovered that went on to procreate children. So it is very possible for that to happen. i think henry's family wanted to stay 'above " the colour line that is why he was on a crusade to prove his black ness I found it ironic that he wasn't as black as he thought he was.

I can't believe you included Oprah in your assesment.\nOprah is the best thing that happened to the US of A in a long time, she does things for people way above and beyond \nmediocrity. She does what our government should do and is an awesome lady who uses her success to help people and to expose injustice and do something about it.I admire her and her choices and her life, I would look to her for intervention or an act of assistance or kindness before I would look to my own government .Oprah is a shaker and mover and \ndoes the work of angels, I an offended that you would use her in the same sentence or context of Al sharpton. No comparison, Sharpton isnt responsible for hatred, he's an embarresment at best it's nothing more then amusing that he is a spokesperson for equality and justice , hardly capable of an impact of relieving the country of hatred by going away.\nWhy in the world would jesse jackson bother you, who stands up for your rights when you are wronged. You are brainwashed

I can't choose!  They're both terrific.  Oprah is so genuine and really cares about people.  That's what makes her show so special.  And Ellen is a hoot.  If you're in a bad mood, turn her show on and she'll make you laugh.

I agree with your assessment of Oprah.  She really is an amazing woman, but I noticed her being a little too judgmental lately too and making what can only be called "snide remarks" to some guests.  I was disappointed when she did that.  Oprah is the "everywoman", so she needs to be more tolerant and non-judgmental than the rest of us.  Her role should be to promote understanding of all people, even the weird ones.  I hope her best friend Gayle will clue her in before she loses the respect of her fans.

Ask your teacher if she thinks Oprah would be nearly as influential if she was not wealthy and the host of her own show. Doubtful.\n\nSo your answer is: Money and fame.

First, Oprah did not ask the question, her "people" did.\nSecond, I do not like her, and would not answer or even GO to her question anyway.\nShe is a racist and only helps blacks in Africa.
