It’s no secret Oprah is considered to not have much interest in helping the African American community excel, building a media empire largely based on content that appeals to white suburban mothers. But when a Twitter follower tried to call her out on that yesterday evening, the queen of daytime talk was not having it. Here’s how the convo went:

@awalkdatalk didn’t back down after Oprah flipped the script on him. He charged back, saying ”@Oprah but its millions of us n everybody isnt classified as african americans. Notice I said ghettos,” and then went on to send a slew of tweets about all he thinks the media mogul isn’t doing for the less fortunate.
@Oprah@Oprah_World just cuz Jay-z came on ur show doesnt mean u helping the hoodAll that money, create sum jobs rignt here home in America b4 u spread da wealth with others.
#takecarehome1stStill waiting for an answer not statements this isnt a campaign ad commercial.
@Oprah@Oprah_World The world and the ghetto’s want to know. We waitin.Still not one person in America can name one hood, public housing, block, ghetto.
#StillWaitinOprahIts not just her its everybody “in position”
We didnt ask
@Oprah@OprahWinfreyBiz@Oprah_World for anything, just a question. And the ghetto still got nothing. Goodnight America
As the tweets show, Oprah had nothing else to say after she spoke on sending black men to college. I imagine @awalkdatalk, like a lot of black America, is still waiting on a response or action—and probably will be for a good while.
What do you think about this follower questioning Oprah and the response she gave?
