This is actually to the

This is actually to the previous Nelly post: Actually, Natasaha, I feel Nelly and he doesn’t need to stop (well, maybe stop the ignorant stuff all together). I read your site. I like it a lot. I told all my sisters about it. They like it too. But, I actually feel Nelly. Not just Halle, but many of the people that grace the cover of Essence do some pretty disgraceful things. It’s just a shame that we’re pit against one another like that, as to where it’s okay from Halle or Beyonce, but not for Nelly or Ludacris, then we’re forced to recognize it and fight over it. And on the Halle tip…she’s gorgeous, she’s got style; we glorify her. But why is the epitome of Black beauty a half-white woman? Please respond (anyone), I’m interested in the answer to that last question.

The epitome of black beauty

The epitome of black beauty has nothing to do with the fact that she is half white. She does not resemble a white woman nor does she ever claim to be one. A black woman is a black woman, regardless of whether or not they are "full-blooded" black...however you want to phrase it. Halle is beautiful. period. Who do you suggest be the epitome of beauty for black women? Just curious.

iliot, Halle Berry is a

iliot, Halle Berry is a beautiful woman but she is not the epitome of black beauty. For me anyway. I've always thought Lauryn Hill ( I know Miss Lauryn is going through some ish right now but she's strong) is the epitome of black beauty with that dark skin, those thick lips and the nappy hair. I've always respected her decision not to straighten/relax or hair or wear a weave. I would hold her up as the epitome. But thats just me. Each to their own. On another note, Jigga's swagger is ridiculous!

Iliot, you may be

Iliot, you may be color-blind, but America is not. Is is not unintentional the media play Halle Berry gets. Neither is it accidental that she is held as the epitome of beauty. Whites are subconsciously(hell, they know it) inferior and understand actual beauty but will not allow it come in the form of pure blackness. So they taint it and mix the features they like to "whiten" what they don't, but secretly envy (evidence: plastic surgery, collagen). What you get is a mixed woman held as the quintessence of black, when she is not. Yes, she's is absolutely gorgeous. But you have to understand her for what she is. Black (for lack of better word) is beautiful in whatever context or quantity. There is no one single woman (other than Eve, perhaps) who is the epitome of beauty for black women. We all are.

When I'm in a room full of black people, all I can think is how beautiful we are. I don't care what shade they are, due to circumstances in our past we are all mixed w/something no matter how far back it is. That is why we come in so many shades. Hummingbird you are so right about this page, I'm back on because my show is on commercial. Is that sad or what?

I'm so tired of this talk

I'm so tired of this talk about Halle Berry.Halle is not black she is BIRACIAL.as much as she has black blood in her,she also has white.its pure ignorance to say that woman is black when she has 50% of white blood in her. I've read some interviews with that woman and she has claimed she's black,biracial,tanned whatever.growing up biracial isnt easy,I know I'm biracial too,but at the end of the day that woman is B-I-R-A-C-I-A-L.

Back in the day I used to

Back in the day I used to stan for Erykah. Now I think Badu is a bi-polar gimmick. Everyweek you see her with a strange outfit on; tryna outdo her latest foolywang getup. She was wack on "Girlfriends" BTW. Girlfriends is about to get straight cut next year; that show is the ultimate *yawn*.

there is no past history of a 40 year old rapper, so what should he be dressing like? he's not trying to peak the interest of the 40-50 year old crowd. he is still trying to get the attention of the 106 & park / trl crowd, so in that case he is dressed appropriately. he isn't at a business meeting he is rapping. what do u think he should be rapping in khakis?? come on, he's a MC, he's dressing like an MC. has anyone seen the way ll cool j been dressing lately and they are about the same age.

I do believe that people with parents from two different races should be considered black is incorrect. The media has created this notion, to please themselves, however we should remember that by glorifying women such as Halle as black, this further alienates true black women from being recognised for whom we truly are. Once mixed race people become black, then what do 'black women' become?? Society is leaning towards the notion that it is ok to be of mixed appearance, such as your Beyonce's, Amerie's etc and labelled as black because at the most basic levels they do not want pure black women to succeed. Whats even more worrying is the black man's role in this very damaging trend, which has the potential to really create problems for the self esteem of our young black sisters. All responses will be appreciated.

I don't know why people are

I don't know why people are bringing up Halle Berry when she's no where to be found on this post. But since you brought it up....she is Black! I learned in GRADE SCHOOL that the AFRICAN GENE IS DOMINANT!!! So can ya'll get over it and stay on topic please?
