She taunts other mixed race children like Tiger Woods who say they are mixed race and not black and says they're confused? Her mom told her she's black and it seems to me her mother gave her more of a color consciousness than other people. Halle Berry seems to me to be the most confused person in the universe. I do feel sorry for her as she had a very hard life. She spat on her father's grave and didn't go to his funeral. Some people are never satisfied, and this only shows you that success and money doesn't always solve problems.

Money solves financial problems.

I do feel sorry for her as she had a very hard life


If you want to really feel sorry for some one, let me send you my name and address.


With flawless good looks and a fat bank account, I feel several things for Halle Berry, (Attraction, envious, etc...) but sorry is not one of them

I used to love Halle Berry. She was on my top two list of Most Beautiful Women in the World (the other being Kate Winslet.) Those were the only two stars I would ever say, without qualifications, are beautiful.

Then I saw her Oscar acceptance speech. In the first few seconds I was sympathetic; she was obviously overwhelmed. But as she went on and on I started thinking, Okay, this girl is unstable and obsessed with race. And the thing is, I know black folk who don't particularly think of her as black. She seems to live in Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey land.

Oh well, whatever. She's still beautiful, but now I look at her and see kind of a basket case.

Her mom told her she's black...

That delicious cup of coffee has definitely got cream in it. I guess mom ascribes to the old "one drop" rule!

"Her abusive father, Jerome Berry, abandoned his wife and children, and left the family when Halle was four years old. Halle was raised almost totally by her mother, Judith, a psychiatric nurse. Judith then moved her family to the predominantly white Cleveland suburb of Bedford.

This rough start to her life did not deter her from excelling in whatever she did. Halle attended a nearly all-white public school, and as a result, she was subjected to discrimination at an early age. Throughout high school, Halle participated in a variety of extracurricular activities, holding positions of newspaper editor, class president, member of the honor society, varsity cheerleader, and prom queen.

Halle easily won Miss Ohio, Miss Teen All-American, and in 1986, was first runner-up in the Miss USA pageant. She was the first African American to represent the U.S. in the Miss World competition in London. "

What's wrong with this picture? After a rocky start, I'd say she lived a comfortable suburban life. If discrimination would've made me popular enough to be prom queen, bring it on!!!

Is her dad anyone we'd know or just a regular guy?

Exactly, and no amount of money can buy class
