You think Angela Bassett's comments against Halle Berry had anything to do with the fact it was an interracial love scene?

Nope. Not that she's done a full fledged interracial love scene, but she's had an on-screen interracial relationship before. I think it's more the matter of two things -- firstly, she's been listening a bit to ol' Gypsy Jackson, and secondly, I think she's being a little catty for not taking the role herself.

She's a strong enough actress to fall in that same "color-blind role" category; she's proved it in several movies going back as far as "Strange Days" with Ralph Finnes.

Damn. I wish she hadn't gone down this road. I end up drooling every time I see her (of course, She-who-must-be-obeyed gives neverending grief about it). Ah, well.

If so, it would be rather ridiculous. Halle's half-white herself.

If it is then Angela is a hypocrite.

I can't remember the name, but in the last year or so, she played the girlfriend of Robert De Niro in a film. De Niro played a thief in this film, but I can't remember the name of it. It was a pretty good movie, too.

Nope. See my earlier reply. She had a pretty good thing goin' onscreen with James Spader.
