You've got to be kidding. Oprah is a total phony--has shows on U.S. poverty, abuse, animal rights, etc., but when it comes to her billions, she only contributes to black/African causes. Even those giveaway shows are promotional gifts from the manufacturers.
She is a tight-wad, racist (anti-white), greedy, and egotistical. Only self-loathing whites like her!

I totally agree that Oprah is a 'Wolfe In Sheeps Clothing' but Oprah we the country know this about you, you aren't fooling anyone. People watch oprah for the content not for Oprah. Besides its nice to see a black work everyday.. that is interesting by itself.

WOW, it sounds as though some of you people in viewing land are severely jealous. Of course, promoters want to give their products to others. I give a portion of my talents away, as everyone ought to do. It is not self-promotion--it is the lack of greed. No, Roger King's memory line is not excessive on Dr. Phil's show. Both these talk show hosts help many, many persons here and in foreign countries. Views like yours
ar4e narrow and small-minded. Please find something else to do than criticise the alleged "racism" and "greed" they display. The only thing wrong with DR. PHIL is he that he swears.

the reason i think the tribute to Roger King was not that bright.. is because as a viewer I though for example that the story of the show was about 2 bank robbers and when I saw 'in loving memory' I thought someone involved in the story of the show had died since the taping of it? I mean out of nowhere with no explanation of who Roger King is may be all fine with Dr. Phil because he knows the man and was a friend.. but come on how about us the viewers who are left clueless? Not smart people, not smart. I mean for gods sakes anyone here in this forum was left dumbfounded just like me!

Who is not smart? Judging from your Post, you may want to brush up on your writing skills. In comment to your post, everyone has the means to find out who Robert King was, just as I did, and that is by surfing the net!!! If you can post a comment, you can certainly make inquiry on the net. Please do not take the name of the Lord in vain.

Opray gives nothing away. If you watch and listen closely you will hear all who donate in her name. They use her and she uses them. Did you ever think why children of Africa would need Niki sneakers when they could of brought thosands more of another brand, with out the name Niki on them. Almost all the things Opray gives aweay are donated. Listen when she thanks them at the end of the show.

Please learn how to spell or use a dictionary.

Yeah, it's an investment of the donating company for an advertisement so to speak. And it gets endorsed by Oprah. She is merely a venue for those companies to plug their products and she gets ratings by "giving" stuff away. A win for ratings, a win for advertising products, & a win for the audience to get stuff. & the audience pays taxes on it.

I have seen the "In Memory" also and wondered how it referred to so I "googled" and found this comment board. After wading through all the garbage posted and leaving my own "judge it!" on many, I had to post my comment regarding all the negative uneducated comments posted by people who seem to think they have a clue about what they are commenting on.
The reason I looked was because I did not know who Roger King was or what his connection to the Dr.Phil show was. It was a simple question that was simply answered. Why do people find it fulfilling to comment and slam people that had nothing to do with the original reason we all got on this site to begin with? And to think....we inhale the same air that these type of people exhale...We need more trees to filter the air. Try spending our energy in a positive manner and it may make the world a little nicer to live in. Thanks for spending your time to read my comment and if you agree "judge it!" and if you don't you are entitled to that too.

i have never been to one of these "post your opinion" forums before- but my reply would be that i do not really understand why people get so upset at other peoples opinions. is it so hard to just understand that we all see things a little different from one another most likley based on our personal experiences at the time. i have yet to meet any one person that was always entirely right or entirely wrong.for example my opinion on one of these posts would be that "blanco" is rather uneducated, most likely unmotivated and looking for a hand out alot of the time. i know 13 year olds with a better handle on the english language(i am not refering to their more than likely hispanic heritage). this will anger many, others will agree, some will consider myself uneducated for saying it- all depending on their personal experience i think. but then again i could be wrong. i am simply fascinated by what will come next! as for roger king- i too came here for the answer to who he was-thank you for those who knew. how cool that i found a "social experiment" of sorts. have fun trying to guess what kind of person i am.(of course many o fyou won't waste their time on that-right?)

what an ass having fun- you could use a little education about racism and definatly profiling!

Before writing in to criticize either Dr. Phil or Oprah one would think that you would be able to spell their names correctly. Also, I would suggest proof reading or spell check if you want your comments to be taken seriously.

Before you decide to take action to criticize either Dr. Phil or Oprah, one would think that you would actually be able to spell their names correctly. Also, you should consider using spell check if you want your comments to be taken seriously.
