Halle looks Black.
Halle thinks of herself as Black.
Halle is Black.
Halle made history tonight- that wouldn't have been so if she were White.
Congratulations - you win the thread RACIST award.
She may have been the best actress this year,,,,,that's fine, i didnt see most of the nominated films for women this year,,,,,,,,,,all I know is tonight She was NOT the best actressess, Ive seen better high school performances than that Aceptance speech,,,,,,,,,(hell, i though she just got back from sitting at the infamous lucn counter or something)
But I hope after the recognition and enjoyment of the moment, that there will be a lessening of all the accusations about race. Honestly, are there very many people still left who thought that those Black actors and actresses DIDN'T have a legitimate shot at winning? Even in Hollywood, I think that that barrier has mostly been crossed over and dismantled.
Halle looks Black.
Halle looks mixed and far more white than a full blooded black.
Simply put, Halle Berry wouldn't fit in National Geographic's Africa documentary.
Halle thinks of herself as Black.
Halle is Black.
Reality check. Halle is whatever her parent were.
Which in this case, half white and half black.
What you "think" you are doesn't determined your genes.(duh)

When will you feel your race is equal enough that such an accomplishment is an individual achievement?
I find it really sad that some still have to look at these sorts of things in terms of blacks struggling for recognition.
It reminds me of something I read about wealthy black atheletes, who somehow still cannot see themselves as part of the upper "rich" class of Americans.
This seems to indicate that these sort of black inferiority complexes are not rooted in being oppressed or deprived at all...but rather just being black.
This is wrong. You should like yourself and being black just as whites like themselves and like being white.
