OPRAH MOVES TO THE PROJECTS ... FOR DOCUMENTARY: TV host will spend a month in Chicago public housing.


*Oprah Winfrey has finally jumped onto the reality TV craze. The talk show maven, one of the world’s richest women with a net worth of over $300 million dollars, will put her riches to the side to live for one month in a Chicago high-rise housing project for a reality series on America's inner-city housing crisis, reports WENN.


A spokesperson for Winfrey’s Harpo Productions company told WENN: "She has interviewed just about every major celebrity and done shows on almost every subject imaginable. But now she intends to tackle really tough, serious issues, putting herself right in the front line."


Oprah will bring along some security guards to keep the gawkers at bay during her stay in the building, but the spokesperson adds: "In every other respect she will have to fend for herself, just like the many people who have to live in these sub-standard conditions."

Damn if I know?
"the ghetto code"

oprah didn't shy away from talking about the infant-rape phenomenon in south africa, so maybe she will expose some truths about whats really going on in the projects with this documentary.

I hope she does keep it as real as she can.

This should interesting.

This is the age of gentrification with poor folks being pushed out to the suburbs... maybe she should spend that month in one of the south suburbs that has received an infusion of former projects inhabitants...

since the beginning of the voucher program the crime rate in burbs like Harvey and Maywood have skyrocketed. Majority of folks remaining in the pjs are single mothers w/ a bunch of lil kids awaiting an apt w/ at least 4bdrms.

he aint racist. He's far from that- from what I've seen. IMO.

all of the pj's in Chicago are marked to be knocked down, save for one which is no longer a project and sits in a $300,000minimum condo area. Most of the pj tenants have been given vouchers to move so its not as overcrowded. More security has been added to a majority of pj's for the sake of gentrification and the building of new townhomes and condos w/in those areas, and due to the fear of losing vouchers, penny drug dealers and other ills have layed low...i.o.w. its not as upfront in your face as say 5-8 yrs ago.

Where do you think she came from??? She came from poverty and now you are hating on her efforts to help now that she has money.

The woman wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

...i mean obviously this hypothetical project had its faults, but it could have been an extremely important project. the mainstream media always shies away from real issues so i dont knwo why i had my hopes up that somethign would come out of this

...(the end)...

cause it';s safe to be in the projects if you can afford a lawyer to protect you,

if you caint, the police are looking the other way as you're being fucked with, in that sensing.

That's why she's looking out for her brothers & sisters, looking out for her people.

That's why she's looking out for my brothers and sisters, looking out for my people.

That's why she's looking out for OUR PEOPLE

(MALCOLM X QUOTE: OUR people have a very serious problem).

As Malcolm said, racism in America is a HUMAN problem. It is a Black Problem, it is a white problem, but it';s a problem that affects the world, and is therefore a Human problem.

Al Jarreau sample: "We're in this love together..."

I hope they show some Angry Black people, angry as we saw Black people be toward Reginald Denny when they hit that guy with a brick. America needs to get some Brain Amplification, as addicted to the shit that Americans are.

Go oprah!

UHURU!

I think that Oprah is doing something that is very appropriate.

If you like Oprah, don't say she's ahead of her time, please. She's in the proper time for Oprah, in that sensing. Boyyyeee

i dont dig her at all. she is the ultimate assimalationist, the last thing any kneegrow needs to be. what will come out of this other than a few white women cryin in her audience. with her viewership and platform, maybe influence, where is she on real issues. i mean political issues, issues that challenge the order of the world's society.

i would be much more impressed with oprah if she had a few shows about the death of fred hampton and demand real answers and names into cointelpro. or maybe have a show to shed light on assata shakur. no, she has a show with robbin givins kickin dirt on mike tyson for an hour to show america how crazy a nigger can be.( the givins show was recent, i passed it while turnin the channel from 2-3 am in ny two nites ago).

she is such a part of the establishment, that the only changes if any to come out this will be more shit to keep negroes in their place and that has nuthin to do with money or jobs.

Your ignorance is killing me. How do you know what she does, obvisous nothing because you are asking those questions. I mean damn, The Roots, Common, Mos Def and most of these 'conscious' artists have more whites in thier audience then blacks, so have they assimiliated also? Tell me the last time any of those artist through the 10 point program in their songs.

If you ad some Integrity and Dignity to that handle/alias you just might not BE a tom.

Perhaps you SHOULD "BE" Tom for 5minutes, so as to understand the fictional character so as to be understanding to actual, 100% Consciousnesses, Divine Human Bredren/Sistren.

And kitties, too.

Why pay for a Pet Rock when you can watch "Bamboozled" for free. look in the MIRROR!!!

Who cares how much money she's got. Unless she's going to use those millions to set up schools, buy books, buy out gun companies, fund computers for kids, educate young women about cherishing thier bodies,

she can eat a dils.

She's the devil. And the pink toes love her.

Does anyone know, how does Ms. Winfrey feel about "reparations?"

“He may be friendly, but he's not your friend." - Malcolm X

because the tax system NOW keeps the Holocaust going on in Black America, Poor so-called "White Trash" Trailer Parks, Sudan, and Palestine. And among some Jews, too, fortunately and sadly.

And you can't callme Anti-Semitic, beacth, because I KNOW that Arabs are Semites too!!!

To be clear, I'm NOT in anyway advocating the punishment or Killing of anyone when I say fortunately and sadly there are Jews involved inthe current Holocaust.

I say Fortunately, because although tragic, it's ironic that NOW Jews can see that ISRAEL is a racist country against the Palestinians. Not as bad as England, STILL.

Correction -- Oprah Not Starring in Reality Series
On Sunday, March 20, WENN released an incorrect story that Oprah Winfrey had agreed to star in a poverty-stricken reality TV series. This report was incorrect and Winfrey has no such plans to do so. We apoligize for any inconvenience.

but I'm not sure what good will come of it. King did this in the 60s, and not much has changed in the inner city of Chicago, since then.
