Why only offer an education to half the population, bit sexist if you ask me

if you want to actually make it 'equal', the women need a leg-up more than the men. http://womensnet.org.za/links/genderpr.htm

Bayete Indlovukazi, We thank our sister who is sengibuye unomphela (one who has returned) for her generousity towards our youth. We praise Inkosazana Oprah along with other descendants in the Diaspora. We praise the Amadlozi and Mvelinqangi for sending our children back from captivity with prosperity.

GOOD JOB OPRAH!!
Helping humanity regardless where, is beneficial to mankind as a whole. I find it very amusing that there are so many who criticize Oprah, yet how many do nothing but criticize. It is is very easy to stay on the side line and comment negatively when you contribute and do nothing.

I believe that Oprah not only is sexist by not offering the same opportunity to males, but also is the wrong role model for those girls. What she can show then to be in a relatioship out of wedlock. To make your female friend take the place of a man. To state that in order to be a leader you have to have a healthy mind and body. That statemente is so out of contex in Africa. Having so many sick HIV patients and other health conditions. She should be ashamed of saying that. One could be sick but as Dr. Novello said once, I speak with an accent I do not think with an accent. Then I may be sick but my ideas as a leder are not sick.

On the other hand. Any african american that will like to do something about their ancestors should go not where ther press is. But to the places of origin and the ports for shame in Africa. Not to South Africa they hold no 'Connection' to Afro-Americans'

i feel that what oprah did was generous and caring. i would never criticize anyone for making a great difference in the world. she seen what was needed and applied it. i want to say thnk you to her. im a young lady still in school in the united states and like she said many students here mines are not on education and for something is established somewhere it is needed

We need to believe 'equality' means equal, not 'advantaged' or 'entitled'. If someone opened a school that was only for 'whites only' they would be labelled a racist. If someone opened a school for 'boys only' they would be labelled a sexist. If someone opened a school for 'girls only' they get labelled as 'generous and caring', doing an 'excellent job', showing 'generosity towards our youth', 'helping humanity'?!?

Giving one demographic a 'leg up' does not promote equality. If that is what equality means to you, then you need to read your dictionary again. Advantage does not = equality, no matter what propaganda you are fed.

Misandry is no better than misogyny, both are bad and should not be acceptable in any society, let alone praised as doing good. You should be ashamed of yourself for praising someone who shows very misandrist attitudes. http: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misandry
