In this clip, Vlad discussed television host Oprah Winfrey with guest Fred "The Hammer" Williamson - specifically her representation of "blackness." Williamson criticized Oprah for not picking up the responsibility for her community in Chicago once she became successful. He added that Oprah had the power to make changes, and yet her show did not diversify much, implying a lack of support for African Americans in the industry. Williams also touched upon Winfrey's appearances in film and television, critiquing the way she switches her persona. He criticizes her for taking on stereotypical roles in film, playing a "mammy" figure, while in real life, she presents differently.
