I might as well make you madder by saying that as a Black woman I am very proud of Halle and always have been. I have two Black parents and she has one, but I consider her no less Black than I am.

And I consider her no less white than I am - so why are YOU offended by my remarks? Why are YOU proud of her?

Get real- Halle looks Black and identifies that way.

I was offended by your remarks because you seemed to be implying that the product of two Black parents couldn't be beautiful in your eyes.

I'm proud of Halle because she is a good actress to start with and YES, I am proud of her as a Black actress because she has fought against not being considered "black enough" by some casters in Hollywood and taken on some roles that some felt should have gone to more "Black" looking actresses.
