Oprah - Would That Be A Double Standard?

Rappers Ludacris, 50 Cent, Ice Cube and others in the past have accused Oprah of not representing rappers and of having some sort of beef with them. In June of 2006, Oprah answered back to in regards to the complaint of why she never has them on the show. According to Associated Content, Oprah broke out her ipod and went through some of the content to prove that she listens to Hip Hop and has no beef with the hip hop community. She also made it clear that she wouldn't support any music that glorifies violence and disparage women.


Oprah's view on this has been understood for years. This year Oprah did venture out and have legendary rapper Jay-Z on her show. During the interview Oprah did express her views to Jay-Z about the use of the word n****. They agreed to disagree about the use of the word. Some say that Oprah has sent a mixed message about her views on disparaging women by having porn star Jenna Jameson on her show today. Jenna, is 35 a mother of 2 and has starred in over 100 hard and soft porn adult films.
