My thing with Oprah, at times she acts like she is so removed from AA culture. She seemed shocked many AA men keep a stash of porn magazines. I'm not sure if folk in my age group still do but I remember before the internet older cousins had what we referred to as "dirty magazines."

I was shocked at her being shocked that this happens. I don't see the stash though as being a Black thing. I know of White men who have a stash as well. I cannot remember if Kirk said it was a Black thing or not, or it was Oprah who made it that way. I am sure if Oprah asked Stedman or her dad and they were honest with her, they would admit to the affirmative.
I didn't see Kirk as being cocky or arrogant about it. Maybe I'm biased but I saw him as being real. I applaud him for being able to not only overcome the addiction but to speak out about it. It's one thing to tell your wife, friends and family, but to sing about it and come on Oprah and really speak on it. . . WOW (for me)
