She is not fake, ingenuine, discompassionate, etc. She is as genuine as it comes, compassionate to a fault, and *still* a brilliant businesswoman. Just happens to be one with a big heart and the money to back it up.

Her first 5 million was donated before the levees even broke and the shit hit the fan. While Celine Dion sat in her air-conditioned suite and did a telecast interview with Larry King about her 1 million, Oprah was interviewing survivors and trying to get real footage of the situation inside the Domes on the air so people could know the truth instead of the spoon-fed bullshit they were getting from Brown.

Push you weren't even alive when she was slugging it out and earning her way up in the world sitting across from a fucking geek who tried to have a big gray afro as big as hers because he thought it looked cool (he was white), and when women weren't considered worthy to be anchors, much less BLACK women. Don't assume that you know anything about her motives or her character.

Carrie,
not a burn.

A serious question.

Do you awctually work as a webmistress?
An adult webmistress?
Do you have any sites?

Or do you post on boards to kill time.

Seriously , not a piss , you are welcome either way , I was just genuinely interested.

If she's smart, she has stakes in the toaster company, building companies, interior decorating shit, etc...

She'll end up making money on it...
