"And while most of Winfrey’s interests are to help African Americans, she has a soft spot for rich white kids, too.
Winfrey, according to her filing, is in the middle of doling out a $1 million contribution to the ultra-WASPy, very, very exclusive Miss Porter’s, the famed finishing school in Farmington, Conn. She sent her nieces there in the early '90s, and has remained a steadfast supporter.
The large donation seems a little unusual given that it would seem, from the school’s quarterly online newsletter “Salamagundy,” that the racial makeup of the academy hasn’t changed much since the days when Jackie Kennedy or George Bush 41’s mother, Dorothy, were students.
Other graduates of Miss Porter’s include Vanderbilts, Rockefellers and billionaire heiresses like Dina Merrill and the late Barbara Hutton. The school has an $80 million endowment."(source)
Last time I checked Oprah made that money herself. So who are these people to be critical about where she gives her money? If you check out the rest of the article Oprah donates money to helluva lot of people both white and black. Being a Farmington girl for life, I am happy that she gave the money to my alma mater. Everyone needs to back up and let her do what she does best: Give things away.
