Oprah owns some of the network but not all of it. NBCUniversal owns most of it, which explains the two dolts trying to advance this show.

What do Liz Gateley and Tony DeSanto, two white people, know about well adjusted black people and why can't they make a reality show about blacks who are doing the right thing and living the right way? My God! If two black producers made an offensive show about Italians and whatever Gateley's pedigree is, would it have gotten the light of day?
