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?
Hey now, I'm pretty much in your corner(reread my previous posts if you doubt), and some of these posts do make me cringe. But this is 2002, not 1962, or even 1992. Halle is in a completely different world from Hattie. I could understand Sidney making that statement, but not Halle.
