I think Ann Coulter said it best:

"Yes, at long last, the "glass ceiling" had been broken. Large-breasted, slightly cocoa women with idealized Caucasian features finally have a chance in Hollywood!"

"I have to fight for almost every job I ever get ... the ones that I really want to do," said Berry in Cannes

Maybe that's because she's a lousy actress, her Oscar notwithstanding.

She ruined a James Bond movie, IMO. Only Denise Richards has managed that before her.

Does she think white actresses don't have to audition?

Really. Why does she think they have "casting couches"?

I agree. She was as out of place in DIE ANOTHER DAY as mayonnaise with Fruit Loops!

Both David Justice and another husband also got fed up with her act. As beautiful as she is, what does that tell you?

My friend who went to high school with Ms. Berry claims that the actress NEVER identified herself with african americans back then. Berry was raised by her white mother.

Yup. Her mom who raised her, is white, and her black dad took off on her. But she identifies as a black woman. that doesn't make sense.

It gives her automatic victimhood status.

The acme of her career was her topless scene in SWORDFISH, an otherwise terrible flick.

Tut, tut, tut... Denise was a major babe and no worse an actress than most of the Bond bimbos. Halle Berry is likewise a great-looking semi-decent actress. I think what's been ruining Bond movies are their ever-more absurd yet repetitive plots.

If she wants to argue about bias in H-wood, let's talk about the bias against introverted ugly people in the movie business.
Or, better yet, against conservative writing and themes.
