They're held down while someone bashes in their head(s) and then they're left, suffering. Some of them don't die fast enough and are skinned alive and others just kind of bleed to death.

Snakes are sometimes nailed to trees and then skinned. Alive.

Rather than go into what I think of Oprah I thought I'd just mention this.

**** her and **** anyone who buys such things.

Not saying it's what took place here, but one can get into trouble telling a Black Person that something is overpriced...Just don't do it.

Right, because making assumptions about someone's finances based on the color of the person's skin is... what's the word... it rhymes with basest....

it's best not to assume anything about anyone...looks, dress, etc. i've gone out in less than my best, salespeople don't know what i can/can't afford.
and i've got some people who come in my office who look like poor dirt farmers. they're anything but.

So true. I was at Aqueduct early this year with friends (the ones who rescued three of the Paragallo horses) and they pointed out two people in the paddock to me- to look at them, they were dressed not too far off of what I've seen some homeless people on the streets wearing, but my friend said in fact they were billionaires. They definitely weren't spending it on their wardrobe.

Strange but I got back from San Diego last week and out there the homeless people looked homeless and the rich, well looked rich.

Highly noticeable was both the homeless and the rich were in far superior physical shape compared to their peers back home in the Midwest.

My husband commented that the first thing he noticed when he moved from Dallas to NYC was how much thinner people were in NYC. And I have a friend in Florida who asked me if people in NYC dress better than people in the rest of the country. I said, not exactly, but NYCers do plan what they wear, as opposed to the tourists here, who are identifiable because they clearly just picked the most comfortable things they own, put them on and called it an outfit. So, while a New Yorker can look just as bad as any tourist, a person can tell that it's a bad that they thought about ahead of time.
