Angie must have just now realized she has passed up one of the best chances to win an Oscar because of the racial overtones (her percieved biases) in the script.

I thought the movie was pretty good and not demeaning at all, in fact during the love scene it is Halle who has most of the dialogue and takes control of the situation.
