So Miss Berry, 38, has launched a savage attack on Hollywood producers and directors, accusing them of racial prejudice.
"The struggle for a woman of colour to find good material is still very present, and it's a struggle I fight every day," she said.
Miss Berry said there was such a shortage of decent roles on offer that she had resorted to buying the rights of books she wanted to develop into films.
The actress, who was honoured in 2002 for her role in Monster's Ball as the wife of a prisoner on Death Row, has four such projects in development.
She got an academy award for playing a sex scene?
She sucks as an Actress... and Isn't this the 3rd time She has cried "Racism"
They will "find her rolls"

If she had any sense of decency, she'd have retired from the industry after this: If Martin Landau had any artistic integrity, he'd have died after that one.

Why does this woman insist on designating herself "black" or a "woman of color?" Her mother is white and her father black. Why must she be identified as anything other than a woman who happens to be an actress, by chosen profession? Our contemporary race-mongerers make hash of Rev. M. L. King, Jr.'s dream of a color-blind society in which only personal merit mattered. Perhaps Adolph Hitler was correct in observing that
"Race is everything."

If BAPs isn't a racist movie, I don't know what is. What a hypocrite.

All I can say is that her choice of material after winning her Oscar is her own fault. But she is up for a Razzie for Catwoman.
To: ChadGore
She obviously needs to be in the "Undercover Brother" sequel.

Didn't Ann Coulter write an article called "I Like Black People Too, Julia!" that mentioned Halle Berry winning her Oscar? She called Berry "slightly cocoa" and said something about idealized Anglo-Saxon features, unless I'm remembering wrong.

Halle had a great role as Dorothy Dandridge. She got an oscar for Monsters Ball. WTF is she complaining about?
For those of us in LA....look out....Halle might be on the road driving around upset...the last time that happened....she hit someone & took off.

Gotta dance with who brung ya, Halle. If you're a black person who wants to get anywhere these days, you have to be a Republican.

Undercover Brother was one of the funniest stupid movies I've seen in a while. It made me laugh against my better judgment.

Her mom raised her that way to protect her self esteem. Now it's just convenient trump card.

A whole lot of white actresses say that there are no good roles for women period. I find their claim more credible than Halle's.

Hey, now there's a thought! "Halle Berry IS 'Secty. of State Condoleezza Rice'!" I'd go see that movie. Hell no. The way Hollyweird twists everything a "true" biography of Secretary Rice would have her torturing Iraqi children and laughing like a mad scientist while the "heroic" Democrat 13 try to stop her.
