"Oprah’s decision to open schools in Africa has also been highly criticized by folks who think that she would have done better to create institutions here in the States. A writer I know recently posted a link to a story about her $1.5 million dollar donation to build schools in Zimbabwe and said “Charity begins at home…suck it, Sofia.” Mind you, the children in this particular village were going to a school with a hole in the ceiling so big, they had to sit against the wall when it rained. And Oprah’s doing some sort of disservice for helping these little brown babies?"
