“I can’t possibly be racist, I watch the Oprah Winfrey show.”
I must be losing my rabbit-eating mind by putting this drop on my site. Who the fuck do I think I am talking bad about OPRAH WINFREY?!? I’ll tell you who I am. WILLIAM XAVIER SUNDAY, a homeless, uneducated and diabetic Black male. A veritable nobody. The only thing that I have in my life is my faith in the one true, most exalted ruler over heaven and Earth. By most accounts I should be on my knees praising the anointed goddess of American morality. Instead I have come here today to tell you that she is the golden heifer that GOD did warn your ancestors to turn away from. I only pray that my message to you is not in vain and too late for you to act.
OPRAH WINFREY has ascended to prominence via the powerful medium of broadcast television. Her appearance is reminiscent of the classic imagery of the antebellum au pair. OPRAH has even forsaken her own maternal opportunity to assume the mantle of a national caregiver. She allows her audiences to nestle their muzzles at her teet and she scolds those that would pose a challenge to her eternally childlike charges. She is the fairy godmother, literally and figuratively, like when she contracts American automakers to promote their products on her forum via donations to her studio audience. Just don’t expect her to pay the taxes on those “gifts”. You don’t become America’s only Black billionaire by giving away YOUR money.
Especially when there are multi-national corporations(read: T.I.’s) that will stand to profit exponentially from the exposure that the OPRAH WINFREY show platform provides. I have asked myself several times who underwrites this broadcast because mainstream media in America makes a concerted effort at all times to describe the African American condition as that of constant perdition. How does OPRAH ascend to her position while other prominent women, especially white women must suffer duress before success? Who protects OPRAH? I think I have an idea. I notice that the OPRAH WINFREY show features several commercials daily for pharmaceuticals that treat ambiguous afflictions.
Are you tired?
Are you overweight?
Do you suffer from stress?
The companies that sell the medications that deal with these everyday problems are all big supporters of the OPRAH WINFREY telecast. Who could blame them either since more Americans tune in to this well respected, highly influential, non-church affiliated spiritual icon? I see a definite connection between OPRAH and the multi-national pharmaceutical giant Abbott Laboratories.
Head-quartered in Chicago Illinois, Abbott Laboratories has a laundry list of controversial developments within the pharma-industrial complex. They were the first corporation to develop a licensed blood test for HIV detection. This, despite the fact that HIV still does not have an established cellular designation like every other human virus on the planet. Abbott Labs also controls the patent for HIV drug Norvir and Kalestra, both of which have weathered numerous claims of price gouging from African countries.
Make no mistake. Abbott Labs is bad news for sure. Actually Ensure, which is another Abbott Labs product as well as Similac. With the rise of infant diabetes over the last two decades the call should be renewed to examine these instant milk formulas. At least if your Similac formula gives your child diabetes you can always contract Abbott Labs for their diabetes maintenance solutions.
Do yourself a favor. Stay away from Abbott Labs, and by association, stay away from OPRAH WINFREY.
