I'm really shocked at the negativity on here. It is not Oprah's responsibility to feed one man or America. It is her money that she has free will to spend however she wants because she took the talents she had and worked hard for it. For those who have never been to Africa, let me tell you that the quality of life there is heart breaking. Even a homeless man is much more blessed to live in America than those living there. So the fact that she is planting seeds in her very roots is a blessing; excuse her if she isn't "saving America". Whether she did it from the goodness of her heart or for publicity, she still helped someone. None of us were there so none of us have room to cast judgement on the situation. Stop being critical.

Much is required to whom much is given... I strongly recommend that they do some "soul searching" and research & investigate all of the inventions created by George Washington Carver, including Peanut Butter, and analyze who's been raking in $billions annually from the "100 plus" inventions of George Washington Carver who's one of our own! Common logic should tell anyone with intelligence that being that there's a monopoly on the "media, banking system, government & all of the major corporations etc.," WE should have a full monopoly on the planting, cultivation, harvesting & production of peanuts and all of the products associated with peanuts discovered by our brother "George Washington Carver."
Pursuant to the way Trayvon Martin was hunted down by a lunatic with a gun, who ignored the rules of the neighborhood watch volunteer program and the 911 dispatcher, who specifically told him not to follow 17 yr old Trayvon Martin (gz wouldn't have pursued Trayvon, without a gun!) and the fact that he was given such a low bail is telling, because what it says is that if this "uncivilized system" gives you a permit to carry a gun, you can shoot down any Black person with $millions or without and it's alright!!! That said, if you can't see that we're being victimized by a "government sponsored holocaust" then something is wrong with how you're comprehending reality!

That was a very nice deed. Reading some of these comments & SMH. People are so judgemental & so ungrateful. You have the same ability to help someone less fortunate than you. Do yourself a favor and look at the man in the mirror.

Opra is strong enough to start small economic banks, something that would give the less fortunate a shot at starting a small business; ie. Food Cart Vendor, Hand Car Wash, On Line e Commerce. Alot of us have some physical, mental, homeless issues... single parenthood whatever. She did it over in Africa, she along with JZ and others could team up and make a difference in major markets in the country. Unless and untill that happens we (Blacks) will find ourselves burning in the streets .........soon!!!!

I need help had a mini stroke which left me, not able to work, I have bee out of work, nor can work due to the problems the stroke left me with, my job has fired me in return of not being able to work have no money coming in friend about ready to kick me in the streets with nothing but the clothes I can barely wear. Can't afford meds etc.... Can I get just a little help from someone, at least enough to keep me going and meds.

They walk up to me all the time asking for coins. Or whatever you can give me brother. I mash them off with something good.I give them a buck or two. And if it's on one of my good days, I might give him 4 or 5 bucks. It ain't like it's happening every second by second. You know what I'm saying? Plus, it's a lot of them running around here like that. And what I respect is that they do have the audacity to ask, and not take or steal from somebody. That is why I am so free hearted towards the homeless. It ain't like it was back in the days, when it was always take steal, or rob. You ask me for something, you got that.

The Illuminati made her do it. She ain't rich for real for real. Get this dog out of my room. I wanna check-in, I wanna check-in.

Very disappointed, with the negative comments. Doesnt matter if it was a regular person offering help to someone. I'm just really happy that she did it. The bible preaches about generosity and the rewards you receive from it. This is truely a woman of god and has been blessed in her life! I Pray that someone is touched by this as I am and will pay it forward as well. God bless

Must Be Good!

so what ?

she can do what she wants.

this is NOT news.

hell, this is not even important enough to call fluff.

slow news day eh ?

O.kay, AND? She also gave a dominantly white audience of people new cars, a bowl of soup is supposed to make her eligible for Sainthood! She'e just trying to regain the popularity she had with every day average people when she first came out. Many people including myself do the Very Same thing on a regular basis {having MUCH LESS WE CAN AFFORD TO GIVE!}, I guess the soup was supposed to taste better and be more nourishing because it came at her request! She'll get back more on her taxes for that very bowl of soup than it cost!!!

ssssssssssssswwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

I want to know how's it her generosity when she asked can someone give him some food and money it didn't even come from her.Her companion gave the man the money and I'm sure the restaurant didn't charge her for his soup
