[Diddle E. Squat]

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.

Hattie McDaniel died without ever seeing a black woman win for Best Actress.

A whole lot of black folk have come and gone in this life without ever seeing another black person do a thing.

As long as we can make such statements, we still have a way to go.

Unless, of course, you believe that there are some things black people should not be allowed to do? Or that they are unable to accomplish?
