As everyone has said, she has no obligations when it comes to inviting folks on her show.

Right! Plus, Luda wasn't even that big of a character. I mean he was important, but there were other important characters (I believe Thandie Newton and Loretta Devine) that were not on the show that day. Luda is just feeling more important than he really is, and is mad that no one else feels the same way.
As for her having rappers on...its her show...she can do whatever she wants with it. Oprah has been working on and developing her show for 20 years. She goes through phases and has different themes/goals that she wants to get across each year. If understanding hip hop, social responsibility, rap and its impact on the AA community is not one of those themes, then there is no reason that she should be ridiculed for that. Maybe shes just plain thinking about the outcome of a show like that. I realize that lots of young white kids are listening to rap, but are there parents really going to understand hip hop culture any better or think any better of Blacks by watching a bunch of rappers explain why using bitch, nigger, half-naked women, etc is alright?
