Halle Berry says she thinks she's 'ugly'

Knight Ridder ^

[cyborg]

Have you ever seen E! documentaries? Hardly anyone comes out of hollywood normal.

[Sloth]

Regardless of whether she's ugly, she certainly *doesn't* think she is.

BTW, why isn't this in Breaking News?

i think the law was if you were 1/64 black you were considered a negro.

Yes, I think that was the law, in fact about 15 years ago a woman that was I think 1/64 black in Lousiana tried to change the race on her birth certificate from black to white and she was not allowed to based on the law.

it's even more obvious in that pic. she may have the same syndrome that michael jackson has.

[Jumper]

The Ivory Tower mentality of liberalism.... I think I'm ugly too but beauty is only skin deep.... Peopele who have nothing of value spiritually usually end up feeling just the way she describes herself. Low self esteme. And the part about being black as hiderance in Hollywood is pure crap being the only 12-14% of the population is black in America it would seem she gets her fair share. The beautiful part is really sad for if she were white or hispanic I wouldn't look twice except that her blackness fits her physical appearance, not that's naughty not nice:)

woo hoo reparations for everyone!

I agree...
Everyone turn to your left and give your neighbor $5.
Call it even.
And get on to other business.

"...since under Jim Crow...[blah, blah, blah]"

But we don't live under Jim Crow laws anymore.

[Jhoffa_]

Yep. Right before she tried to nail him with a dagger.

Most of them have the decency to wait for the marriage to go south first..

That definately would not happen today. Although I went to the hospital, the nurse insisted I had to put a race down. She put down black then she put down white, and got quite testy with me when I said my racial class is none of her small statured business.

[LWalk18]

But we don't live under Jim Crow laws anymore.

No we don't but most people would consider Halle to be black. I didn't even know she was mixed until I read it somewhere, her looks are well within what black people look like in this country. If you put her in my stepmother's family she would be the darkest member, and they are all black and consider themselves to be nothing else.

[cyborg]

THANK YOU!!!! You said it. I tell many of my american friends this and it usually falls on deaf ears. I think some people WANT jim crow laws back.

[John Lenin]

Well, maybe not ugly, but not as pretty as Vanessa.

[Ben Bolt]

Americans who choose to hyphenate themselves dont get it .

[sonofron]

"Then everyone is black... woo hoo reparations for everyone! Oh wait... I'm exempt... all my relatives are immigrants."

what? are you responding to something i said?

[cyborg]

#75 I believe... I don't know at this time of night. It was something you said in another post.

[StarFan]

Translation: "Notice Me! Notice Me! Tell me how pretty I am! Write me letters and console me!" PRECISELY.

[cyborg]

People grow weary of such behavior after a while don't you think?

[glock rocks]

I dunno but she's sure purdy in that orange bikini !

well, i guess the bikini's okay... however...

[sonofron]

oh, not to be knitpicky, but most americans who designate their race as white are not 1/65th negroid. but yes, reparations get into a sticky business as to who would actually be reparated. Question: are they going to demand payment from the africans that went into the interior and captured them and sold them to the europeans and made profits off of them? why don't they try to end slavery which is still practiced in africa in some places?
