50 Cent: 'Winfrey's Turned White' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 11-30-2006, 08:47 PM

Rapper 50 Cent has accused talk-show queen Oprah Winfrey of deserting her African-American roots to pander to the middle-aged white female demographic.
Winfrey, who shot to fame starring in 1985 race drama The Color Purple, has since found huge success with her popular daytime show.

But hip-hop star 50 Cent feels her current status is at the cost of her former beliefs and original fan base.

He says, "(She) started out with black women's views but has been catering to middle-aged white American women for so long that she's become one herself.

"I think the idea of being publicly noted that she's a billionaire makes (black women) interested in seeing her views. But it's even more exciting to the demographic of white American women she's been aiming at to see that she has the exact same views that they have."

It's not the first time the rapper has hit out at Winfrey--last month the “Candy Shop” star joined Ludacris and Ice Cube in criticizing Winfrey's perceived negative attitude towards hip-hop's big names after she refused to have him as a guest on her show.

YO-50 CENT. MORE LIKE A PENNY, AND MAY I HAVE MY CHANGE BACK, PLEASE:

HEY, I'M SURE SHE DOESN'T HAVE PEOPLE STATE THEIR RACE WHEN THEY WRITE IN FOR TIX. MAYBE MIDDLE AGED WHITE WOMEN ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO ASK FOR THEM.

AND, IF HE EVER WATCHED HER SHOW, SHE THINKS IT'S HORRIBLE THAT BLACK MEN CALL EACH OTHER N******, AND WOMEN HO'S, B******, ETC.
WHO WOULD WANT THAT CRAP, OR PIECE OF CRAP ON THEIR SHOW?
I APPLAUD HER.

FURTHERMORE...YEAH. 50 CENT (GREAT GRAMMAR

) YOU THE MAN. SHE HATES BLACK PEOPLE. YOU FRIGGIN MORON. HOW MUCH HAVE YOU DONATED TO AFRICA? YEAH. I THOUGHT SO. IF ANYONE HATES BLACKS OR HAVE TURNED ON THEIR RACE, IT'S PEOPLE (AND I USE THE TERM LIGHTLY) LIKE YOU, WHO HAVE DEGRADED THEIR OWN KIND, AND USED THEM FOR YOUR OWN BENEFIT. SELL ANY DRUGS LATELY? WHAT A PIECE OF WORK!

I'M SURE HIS MOMMA IS PROUD. AND IF SHE IS, SHE NEEDS HER HEAD EXAMINED, TOO. HEY, I KNOW, MAYBE HER BABY CAN HOOK HER UP WITH SOME REALLY GOOD STUFF TO CLEAR HER MIND
