First you say Halle looks black, and then you say she took black roles that should have gone to more "black looking" actresses.

Make up your mind.

Let me say this slowly so that you get it- Halle Berry is Black- no denying this. However, there are variations in skin color, features and hair and people do have images of what a Black person looks like, especially when it comes to trying to cast a Black person. She doesn't look as Black as certain other Black actresses so she was initially rejected for roles by casters who didn't think she looked Black enough. That doesn't mean she's not Black. Understood?

The contortions you must put reality through to stand beside Halle as sistahs are amazing. You should join the Cirque de Soleil.
