API Update RE: The Strange Case of Oprah Winfrey In terms like the above, the case of Oprah Winfrey goes to the drama notebooks of 2014. Oprah shocked early generations of critics. I knew much better, Oprah was just simply ahead of her time. We all were students of the Civil Rights age as well as the 1960s era. I loved a rebel. How could I condemn Oprah, how could I condemn a woman inspired by work, hunger for power, beauty, & heroic achievement...even though her concept of these things is bourgeois & romantic? As I reflect, Oprah took courage, in my opinion, to challenge & interview all the guest on her TV show. Now, in the Age of Barak Obama, one might reasonably ask, how would Oprah have dealt with The War on Terror or dropping the bomb on Hiroshima. That alone, would be reason enough to take another look at Oprah and see what she envies in mens power, and by being herself an African American daughter she can see the yearning for power over anothers life comes out of a sense of powerlessness to control her own. I see that she is temperamentally suited to play her socially assigned role & that it is society not academia, which traps her. A womens liberation emphasis would by no means bring out all the dramatic possibilities on Oprahs new cable network, however, this is why it is so disappointing for me to see actors such as Vanessa Williams, Halle Berry, Tyra Banks, & Toni Braxtons current portrayal as women with a Ladies Home Journal of New York City problems not expressing a wider flamboyant dimension, & in my opinion there is no passion or power or the real potential I observe in stars such as Beyoncé Knowels, Mariah Carey, Ashanti Douglas, & Alicia Keys. They all play a great soap opera, but that is not the creation of my complex mind. Furthermore, in my opinion, Oprah is a grown woman now & shes not terrified of scandal like Kim Kardashian or Karrinne Stephans because she has much to much to hide or worry about unloving, foolish, dangerous men & woman speaking about Freedom, Beauty, or Nobility. In my opinion she is a golden goddess Fire in our living & bedrooms. In my opinion this is closer to African American comedy, rather than African American tragedy, and in my opinion the pantheon of American warriors (past & present) will forever and never cease to be my enlightenment when it comes to the empirical question of American justice. It is simply the way we were.
