mafree;Excuse me?? Sounds like you're implying that only the white half of Halle could possibly be talented or beautiful enough to win an Oscar. Is that what you're saying? I'll give you the chance to answer before I jump down your throat.
How merciful of you.
Actually I was being sarcastic.
If half-breed Halle can take credit for all blacks who never won an Oscar (sob)...what is she saying?
Nothing different than a white saying they are the token for whites winning an Oscar.
I think this whole thing is really freakin silly.
Is it really that impressive to you?
Yes, but more importantly, it's about time it happened.
If I became the "first Black" anything I'd always imagined myself saying, if asked how it felt, something like "I feel bad that it took this long." That's a little different from Halle's dramatics around the matter but we'd both be making the same point.
