“I’ve been having private conversations with friends and thought leaders about what’s next and where we go from here,” Winfrey said in a statement via. “I thought it would be both of interest and service to bring their ideas, concerns and comments into a national spotlight.” Politician Stacey Abrams, journalist Charles M. Blow, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, filmmaker Ava DuVernay, professor and author Jennifer Eberhardt, journalist and founder of the “1619 Project” Nikole Hannah-Jones, historian and author Ibram Kendi, actor David Oyelowo, Color of Change founder Rashad Robinson and NAACP national board member Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II are among the guests who will participate in the conversation.
Oprah does not represent black people. Black people do not support her. She’s a black face of white supremacy. The guest list is weak at best.
Y’all forgot we don’t like her already?
This is TRASH!!!!
We do not want Oprah speaking for us. Majorfail
The only people I want speaking for me: SandyDarity, BreakingBrown, tonetalks, DrTJC, CleoManago, IramiOF and LordHasan. NOT Oprah or any of her Negro-whisperer pals. I don't want to hear from Black celebrity or any of the usual Black academic talking heads. DecadentVeil
It's always the same clowns.
Oprah's black?! :O
Celebrities are not fit to lead us!!! Listen to the people about what’s next! We’re trying to destroy capitalism, the black burgouise is trying to uphold it. Nobody wants to hear shit she has to say if it ain’t about dismantling the system!
Oprah been belonged to the streets (Wall Street that is)
please kill this before they start spouting respectability politics and neoliberal rhetoric PLEASE.
Everyone gets a car.🤔
Fuck Oprah
Ain’t buying this 💩
ain’t nobody ask her
We don't need Oprah to give another therapy session on racism. After 401 years, we're done with that. Oprah's not going to whisper us back to sleep. America's debt owed to ADOS in the form of Reparations & our Black Agenda. America's reckoning is at hand. Time's up.
Who the fuck is this 'WE' she speaks of? She does not speak for the Black community and I refuse to support her.
Oprah pushed that monster John of God.
IS THERE ANYONE CLOSE TO SLAP THE SH.T OUT OF OPRAH? SHE NEEDS TO ASK HER WHITE COUNTERPARTS WHO SHE IDENTIFIES/ASSOCIATES WITH 'WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE' BLK LEADERS? WHO? THEY CANT SPEAK FOR THE AVERAGE! STUPID ASS NEEDS TO TALK TO REGULAR PEOPLE WHO ARE TREATED DIFFERENTLY!
“What Buzzwords Do We Distract With From Here”
Oprah is not a black thought leader and she doesn’t speak doe aDOS who doesn’t she interview Harvey Weinstein?
Hey Why don’t you do some real journalism and interview BreakingBrown and Tonetalks founders of AmericanDescendantsOfSlavery the grassroots movement for Reparations with thousands of members and chapters in every state. ADOSPolitics
No thanks!!!Oprah is a fraud.
Call it what it really is a COON convention.
Poor choice of host. Oprah needs to 'OWN up' to her part in Hollywood cover-ups. Wondering if Paul Walton worked for her, or knows Harvey Weinstein OR knew Epstein? MeToo
'We' Where Oprah been?
Oprah
She needs to sit down and go away.
They keep trotting out their negro whisperers not realizing we’re woke now.
Since when does a bunch of do nothing anti reparations black boot licks Represent Black Thought leaders? Get it straight, Oprah has a band of black thought controllers and Mis leaders. Oprah is the number one controller and Mis leader, disagree? Bring on your attacks, bring it.
Oprah does not speak for Black American Descendants of Slavery. She sold her soul the the highest bidder decades ago. We’re done!!
Oprah Winfrey is just as much a part of the marginalization of BLK ppl as the WS. She's used her platform to do nothing but vilify BLK ppl. Where we go from here is dismissing the notion that someone like Oprah speaks for BLK ppl.
Pass!
We don’t want no damn special from her !
Could we have someone else who supported us through this protest to a level where WE are comfortable for them to host this? Contact someone else, please.
Stop viewing us through the lens of celebrity and get some real political thinkers who won't just come in like parents and try to control and shame us. Yvette Carnell, Antonio Moore, and Sandy Darity have put in the REAL work & have real solutions.
Oprah, and celebrities don't speak for the black community. We're tired of her mammy splainin & cooning. She's canceled. Please take all of her negr0 trinkets and whistles so people can know she's canceled. Sincerely - Intelligent Black Society
They doing it for clout
ADOS Who we Oprah You ain't even following no body
Celebrity worship is over, and okra is part of the decadent veil used to cover black failure
1st Obama, now this. All so desperate to get out in front. The usual suspects a pastor, a politician or 2 no-nothing celebrities and well curated 'activists' & put on a show, mostly for scared wypipo. We already mad *af* Read the fucking room. You're making it worse.
João Teixeira de Faria, Epstein, and weinstein. All rapists all good friends of Oprah.
No thanks okra!!! Go serve some butter biscuits for the other boule!!!
She ain’t no “thought leader” of mine, she doesn’t speak for or to the ADOS masses!
And yet she's not condemning the riots in the inner cities destroying black businesses
If no one brings up reparations or ADOS then this 'meeting' isnt really for the Black Community
They were told by their “handlers” to hijack the narrative. They, Negros, still think they have sway in the black community. This will be a fail.
I want oprah to stfu and open her purse. Oh and Tyler perry too.
ADOS here come the gatekeepers to roll out the PanAfricanist and Democratic agenda to co-opt ADOS. ADOS has a legitimate Reparations claim based on ADOS collective anchored lineage. Did y’all see those speakers FHTE should give Dr Darity and Dr Mullen space on that platform
Oprah Winfrey to host 'Butter Biscuit Bonanza ' special with black 'thought leaders'. There, fixed.
ADOS, Black Americans and allies do the opposite of ANYTHING Oprah supports for the Black community, she is a race traitor who is controlled by wealthy racist liberals that wants to keep the current status quo for the Black community. 2020DownBallot
Please nooooooooooooo!!! Okrah, Seat yo derrière down !!!
FUCK OPRAH! Nothing is coming out of this talk! She is against the everyday black people! We are no longer depending on the goodwill of other humans, it is time for blacks to be generally free to aspire or not aspire to be or not to be whatever they want or do not want in life!
Oprah ain’t the one to host this.
We good. Tell her and her vampire friend to stay were they at.
Rev. Barber is going to hold and coddle white tears Stacey Abrams... so yall really called on her or did she ask to be picked🤔 Ava DuVenay? Who invited-- oh wait she and Oprah are friends🙄 David Oyelowo played MLK. He may teach us what MLK would have done today😩
Oh god here we go.
You don't need a Oprah special asking the 'Question Where Do We Go From here?' the answer to that is then go to YouTube subscribe to tonetalks and BreakingBrown then buy 'From Here to Equality's by SandyDarity and IrstenKMullen. See no Oprah needed 🤷🏿♂️
I am so tired of these black bootlicks who are propped up by the dominant society. We not falling for that shit no more. We don’t need leaders. We follow the ideology.
Entertainers and sports figures are not our voices anymore. They don't know about our concerns in the black community because they do not communicate with the middle level blacks that can articulate the issues. Not millionaires Oprah
Reparations, Reform, Federal, & State Legislation that protect black life & that deal with the systemic issues of racism. Retribution for the theft in Jim Crow and Rehabilitation from PTSD- Free Mental Health Therapy, Group Therapy Sessions from the Trauma. Never forget
Black people have bought into the wrong politics. Oprah and her celebrities guest are not the future of black political thought. They are whats wrong it
Fuck Oprah
Nope.
OMG, please, we do not need black celebrities. If they ain’t calling for laws to me implemented then save it
Hope she invites 50cent !
But Oprah is White
Maybe a billionaire can sit this conversation out. Just a thought.
FAR AWAY FROM ANYTHING SHE TOUCHES..
😂😂😂😂🤡
Turning to Oprah is funny. She has more privilege than most white men. I mean that as a compliment to her hard work and smarts.
This is Oprah. No thanks
David Oyelowo? I know he played Dr. King and all, but that slot needs to go to an African American. I'd suggest Dr. William Darity.
Oprah is NOT a Black thought leader by any stretch of the imagination... in fact, she is so toxic that I would seriously question the credibility of anyone that agrees to be interviewed by her or her partner in crime Gale King. They are CANCELLED.
Hard pass.
Celebrities as thought leaders... Chile please.
Gurl.
Imagine
No no no no.
None of them speak 2 specific reparative laws that ADOS need. Their talks offer emptiness meant 2 pacify the Black ADOS community. They're incapable of coming up w/ real solutions. Oprah invite SandyDarity MehrsaBaradaran BreakingBrown tonetalks AfroStateOfMind BerniceKing
Where we go Is anywhere but where people are watching this. Oprah spent years calling black men thugs and mad an entire documentary about Michael without fact checking. I don’t want to hear anything until she apologizes to the black community for years of talking down on us!!!
Some things will never change- satan runs this world man
No thank U
No thank you
It’s irrelevant to have the same people speak. We need people who have actually been though the injustice to speak. The leaders don’t always know everyone else’s perspective. We need real stories from those who have actually experienced the mistreatment & injustice.
Oprah or any celebrity speaks for me. These people dont speak for us. We wont to choose who we want speaking for us and this aint it.
ADOS🇺🇸 LineageMatters NoBlackAgendaNoVote Reparations2020
Is she bringing her BFF?
adospoliticsac No.
Sorry, but maybe Kap?
Tell her to call me
These folk gone ride til the wheels fall off-make room for young Black Americans so ADOS can hear a few speak from our perspective. This lineup & the democratic political est. have the same interest & message. Can the people whose blood has been on this soil 400+ have a voice?
Who designated Oprah our Black thought leader. We have real scholars and you guys keep giving us corporate owned celebrities that are self interested puppets of white supremacy.
Why not talk to the people of the streets that know where change needs to be made... cops, courts, plea bargains, police unions... leaders have failed the public for DECADES
JFC sit the F down.
Oprah always around and does nothing
Oprah OWNTV I question why the black senators and representatives of Congress have not pushed the civil rights agenda and passed reforms to policing,Civil rights and prejudice law for all these years. I blame them! They were impotent CBCInstitute Why?
This woman? WHY? she is constantly attacking Black Men.
Ni har aldrig varit rasister.
