I love Oprah and admire her for not fueling the fire, which only leads to nonsensical bickering! You can't always meet people where they're at without facing some repercussions! That is a wonderful lesson to learn in life! That said, I also feel like Monique isn't necessarily in the wrong for speaking her truth! As far as I'm concerned this is not about pitting two strong women against each other, it's all mainly about persecution! Where our concentration should be directed lies underneath all the hoopla! The fact that there isn't any momentum gained in the plight of African Americans facing inequality in Hollywood! People are unfairly making this more of a personal matter!
