Rappers Vs. Oprah Winfrey

   [1]Angela Winters discusses Ice Cube, who has joined the the growing
   number of rappers who complain that they can't get on Oprah Winfrey's
   popular, internationally broadcast show. They charge that the
   billionaire media mogul has a problem with rap. The black moderate
   blogger writes: "So what is this I hear about rappers ganging up on
   Oprah? Please fools, you can't even begin to touch her. By dissing
   her, you'll only make people respect her more."

   My take is that Oprah Winfrey (rightfully) probably has a problem with
   inviting nihilistic, coonish misogynists who increasingly run Black
   America's once rich culture into the gutter on her hit show. Although
   if I were Oprah, I would have invited Ice Cube on the show for
   "Barbershop", because he has made a transformation. It should be
   pointed out that rapper Eve, though, did appear on Ms. Winfrey's show
   to promote that movie. I have seen Will Smith and Queen Latifah on
   "Oprah" as well. 50-Cent and Ludacris could kiss my ass, if I was the
   Queen Of All Media.
