Oprah Winfrey told a crowd of 30,000 at Howard University’s commencement Saturday that her grandmother’s wish was for her to get “some good white folks” to work for. “I regret that she didn’t live past 1963 and see that I did get some really good white folks,” the talk show queen said, “working for me.”
I got some really goo’ black foolks’ workin’ for me too.
Uhh… not really, but can I just through the double standard out here again? How ridiculous would that statement be if I meant it? I’d be pounced on and executed!
Oh, and if you didn’t notice, Howard University is all black. It’s “affectionately known as ‘the black Harvard’” and is “the number one producer of African American Ph.D.s in the nation,” according to Wikipedia.

You’re right, Lara. If you go on any campus that stresses “diversity,” you’ll find absolute segregation. ( or any campus, for that matter) “The Black Student Union,” for example, stays in the Black Student Union. The Jews stay with the Jews.

Just don’t through the double standard.
