I know LOTS of black people (with two black parents) who are lighter-skinned than Halle, so what are you talking about? And back when people used the term "negro" she certainly would have qualified as one, since under Jim Crow any drop of black blood made you black period.

"since under Jim Crow any drop of black blood made you black period."

"...since under Jim Crow...[blah, blah, blah]" But we don't live under Jim Crow laws anymore.
