From Dirt to Dynasty—But Don’t Get It Twisted.
Oprah started with nothing—dirt poor in Mississippi, abused, overlooked, counted out. And she clawed her way up with brains, heart, and undeniable talent. For years, she gave folks a voice, shined light on hard truths, and showed women—especially Black women—that you could rise and still be real.
But power changes people. And somewhere along the way, Oprah stopped standing with the people and started talking at them. She traded front porch common sense for mansion-gated “wisdom.” These days, she’s more at home pushing weight-loss drugs and spiritual self-help from a billionaire perch than sitting eye-to-eye with everyday folks.
She still speaks about trauma, healing, and growth—but now it’s wrapped in elitist packaging, sold to people she no longer understands. Her circle ain’t your neighbors. It’s your overlords.
And when crisis hits? Like in Maui, when homes burned and folks begged for help—Oprah fenced off her land and asked the poor to donate. That ain’t leadership. That’s ruling from above.
She was grit. She was fire. But now she’s another gatekeeper telling the little people how to live, without living it herself.
Verdict: Not SphstRDnck.
Started strong, but sold the soul for status. She ain’t one of us anymore—and sure as hell ain’t fighting for us..
