Halle Berry clashes with UK DJ over `racist` remark What was meant to be a friendly chat to promote the new "X-Men" movie turned into a frosty discussion about race on a popular morning radio program, but the British Broadcasting Corp. defended its disc jockey - reports Associated Press. Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry appeared on Chris Moyles' Radio One breakfast show Thursday and clashed with her host after he impersonated what he described as a "big, fat, black guy." "Are we having a racist moment here?" Berry, the first black actress to win an Academy Award for a lead role, asked Moyles after she took exception to his impersonation. Moyles, who is white, said he just couldn't do American accents. Moyles made it clear on air that there was nothing racist in what he said, a BBC spokesman said Friday on condition of anonymity, in line with the corporation's policy.

I've always been under the impression that she was rather close to her mother. In various interviews that I have seen over the years, I don't remember hearing her mention too much about her father, but in her Oscar acceptance speech she did acknowledge her mother, who was sitting in the front row of the ceremony, "I want to thank my Mom who's given me the strength to fight every single day to be who I want to be and given me the courage to dream that this dream might be happening and possible for me. I love you Mom so much."

Listen to Sarah Silverman , Mencia , Chris rock , Will and Grace etc etc. We all need to lighten up....Chris Rock does some hilarious skits about black people.

Heck, even Jerry Seinfeld has made cracks about being Jewish. And have you have seen Larry David on Curb Your Enthusiasm? He makes fun of himself being Jewish just as much as he makes fun of Christians. I'm Catholic and I think it's funny stuff.
In the world we live in if you don't have a sense of humor you'll go bonkers.

I seem to remember Halle Berry playing the race card a time or two.

Watch an SNL episode from the 70s...or Blazing Saddles...and realize that half that stuff would be offensive today.Blazing Saddles could never be made today. In fact, I'm surprised that it's still available for sale. Mel Brooks would probably be charged with hate crimes if he were to try to make it today...

People are not too sensitive - we are just tired of hearing from racists, like Barry, who claim victimhood but have no problem saying racist comments. The JJ, Sharptons, NAACP, La Raza, etc. of the world are the real racists and we are tired of the holier than thou talk while they go about using the N word, calling whites the devil and claiming that they are always put down by the MAN.

Maybe the next anti-racism commercial she does they can sit her in the back Jewish section.

During the 1996 baseball season, a company that I owned a 10% interest in provided Ms Berry’s executive protection. She chose to use us because we were a minority owned firm at the time. She was coming to Cincinnati because her then husband, Derek Jeter (?) was playing here, and the games had playoff implications.
She was very nice, but to be blunt a complete and total airhead.
Like almost every actor you will find in Hollywood, that particular art doesn’t require a MENSA level intelligence as she, and others we all know demonstrate on a routine basis.
And as this clearly demonstrates. What is odd to me is nobody in her entourage pointed out the obvious potential for outrage about it BEFORE she went on the show. As the article clearly shows, quite a bit of planning and effort was put into this stunt.

It just goes to show that almost nothing these people say on these “spontaneous” talk shows is actually spontaneous.

Irony: the guy that played Sgt. Schultz was Jewish.

Nice to see her squirm! Well right now she's on her Movie and 'I'm Pregant!' tour. There never is any mention of who impregnated her. I wonder why?
