It's not her fault they asked her. It's Discovery's problem for offering it to her in the 1st place. Hence why everyone should have just watched the VASTLY superior BBC version.

Harpo Studios is on W. Washington in one of the best parts of the West Loop. You may be thinking of the condo building she bought down in the ghetto. However, she thought she could change the neighborhood, but apparently the black people there did not like her just cause she was black. They tore apart the property to a point of her financially profiling people. Nobody with money wanted to live in that area, so I believe she is selling it, or possibly already sold it.

And Oprah may very well be under appreciated here. She doesn't do shite for this city besides pay higher taxes than most who live here. She can take her fat behind to LA or NY for all I care.

Stedman is an anagram for Ted's Man. Coincidence? I think not!

Philanthropy
In 1998, Winfrey began Oprah's Angel Network, a charity aimed at encouraging people around the world to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged others. Accordingly, Oprah's Angel Network supports charitable projects and provides grants to nonprofit organizations around the world that share this vision. To date, Oprah's Angel Network has raised more than $51,000,000 ($1 million of which was donated by Jon Bon Jovi). Winfrey personally covers all administrative costs associated with the charity, so 100% of all funds raised go to charity programs.[130]
Although Winfrey's show is known for raising money through her public charity and the cars and gifts she gives away on TV are often donated by corporations in exchange for publicity, behind the scenes Winfrey personally donates more of her own money to charity than any other show-business celebrity in America. In 2005 she became the first black person listed by Business Week as one of America's top 50 most generous philanthropists, having given an estimated $303 million.[131] Winfrey was the 32nd most philanthropic. She has also been repeatedly ranked as the most philanthropic celebrity[132]
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Oprah asked her viewers to open their hearts—and they did. As of September 2006, donations to the Oprah Angel Network Katrina registry total more than $11 million. Homes have been built in four states—Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama—before the one year anniversary of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.[133] Winfrey also matched her viewers' donations by personally giving $10 million to the cause.[134]
Winfrey has also helped 250 African-American men continue or complete their education at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia.[135]
Winfrey was the recipient of the first Bob Hope Humanitarian Award at the 2002 Emmy Awards for services to television and film.
To celebrate two decades on national TV, and to thank her employees for their hard work, Winfrey took her staff and their families (1065 people in total) on vacation to Hawaii in the summer of 2006.[136]
South Africa
In 2004, Winfrey and her team filmed an episode of her show, Oprah's Christmas Kindness , in which Winfrey, her best friend Gayle King, her partner Stedman Graham, and some crew members travelled to South Africa to bring attention to the plight of young children affected by poverty and AIDS. During the 21-day whirlwind trip, Winfrey and her crew visited schools and orphanages in poverty-stricken areas, and at different set-up points in the areas distributed Christmas presents to 50,000 children,[137] with dolls for the girls and soccer balls for the boys. In addition, each child was given a backpack full of school supplies and received two sets of school uniforms for their gender, in addition to two sets of socks, two sets of underwear, and a pair of shoes. Throughout the show, Winfrey appealed to viewers to donate money to Oprah's Angel Network for poor and AIDS-affected children in Africa, and pledged that she personally would oversee where that money was spent. From that show alone, viewers around the world donated over $7,000,000.
Main article: Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls
Winfrey invested $40 million and some of her time establishing the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls near Johannesburg, South Africa. The school opened in January 2007. Nelson Mandela praised Winfrey for overcoming her own disadvantaged youth to become a benefactor for others and for investing in the future of South Africa.[138] Others, including Allison Samuels of Newsweek, remarked on the "extravagance" of the school and questioned whether the $40 million might have been spent to benefit a far greater number of students, had the money been spent with less emphasis on luxurious surroundings and more emphasis on practicality.[139]

She donated to Katrina just like every other celeb. She puts blacks-only through school, so she's racist. She dumps hoards of money into other countries instead of fixing her own first.

Oprah sucks.
