NATALIE Portman has apologized for a quote in Allure magazine she says was taken out of context. "I'm not black, but I know what it feels like." The magazine got a flood of reader mail blasting Portman's insensitivity. Now she's backtracked. "If I had spoken more articulately, I might have conveyed what I truly feel," Portman writes.

It's really embarassing it has taken this long for a picture to show up.
I mean, come on people!

He lived in primitive squalor in a slab hut and mailed bombs about the place for the purpose of murdering people.
I rest mine.
She goes "Duh" for the money.
I can resist this: Maybe she does know what a black feels like. Lots of white women like black men.:)

Nope. Back in the brown-shoe days, or at least back when people still knew what 'brown-shoe days' meant, 15xx was the AFSC for Navs and EWs.
