Don't turn on E!. Halle is on. She never thought a black person would win in her lifetime. She broke the glass ceiling wide open.

Well I am glad we didn't have to wait 50 years for this moment. We are all the vessels for which these blessings flow.

The sad thing is that if Halle had just accepted her award with class, so many more people would be happy for her. The groundbreaking aspect of it would have been noted, and then we would have moved on. But when she keeps babbling on and on with over-the-top embellishments(did she ACTUALLY beleive that no Black would win in her lifetime?) and shoving the race factor down our throats, it just turns off so many people. Honestly, I think this is the kind of thing that keeps racism from dying out.

I kinda thought the reporters were offensive. I mean, they were talking to Halle (sp?) like she was a little child who had just learned how to pee in the toilet. They were like "Good little Halle..... goood girl.....who's my little angel?.....good little black girl." It was demeaning to her, yet she lapped it up.

They tried to do the same thing to Denzel about 20 minutes ago and he was having none of it. Basically said that he won on his merrits and race be damned. Until Americans all have that attitude there will continue to be vicious divides on the issue of racial equality (kinda like what's happening on this thread right now).
