I guess I only see this one way because I simply do not like Oprah. The lady has a point I think. If Oprah wanted to promote education on her show she could. Maybe if those inner city school kids had some of the nice things that she gave to the school in Africa they would look forward to learning.



Oprah does promote education on her show for kids in our country and others. I watch her show probaby 4 out 5 days and she gives all kinds of scholarships..pays for their housing, books..everything, they don't have to put out a dime. Like you said, you probably don't see the whole picture because you simply don't like her.
