In reply to eric.

Its unfortunate that the hollywood machine uses other blacks to dismiss Moniques claims of racial disparities in hollywood. Even when they "other blacks know it is the truth and reality". If we all supported eachother and stood together we would all benefit. This isnt about Oprah vs Monique. This is about black women not being paid and down played for their history of success in an industry that refuses to pay them proportionately to their counterparts. Even when they have proven themselves to be funny/entertaining, bring crowds, win oscars, etc. And when you stand up for yourself and use your platform to speak out against this racial disaparity that has always from the begining of hollywood been obvious the media and their black recruits dismiss you as ghetto, difficult, stupid, money hungry, negative, fat, etc. Regardless that you are explaining yourself, providing documents, articulate and humble in your speech and attitude. But all anyone can talk about is Oprah, and how she is some kind of God. Please. Oprah got to where she is at by walkn the walk and talkn the talk of hollywood. She was besties with The Weinstein Character. Shes just like him. Their are many famous blacks that in music and hollywood that feel like they were treated badly by Oprah. Shes no saint. But shes very powerful in that world.
