Trust, if Angelina Jolie had ever allowed herself to get fukked in a movie by a black man she wouldn't have had a career anywhere as big as she has.

Halle is a big sell out. She used the black community to come up then turned into a wannabe white girl. fukk her and anybody who defends her.

How? She's always spoke up as a black person, identified as black, speaks of more opportunities for blacks in Hollywood.

Y'all mad because similar to Denzel and Zoe (now) she gets whatever roles she wants?

Im not mad about anything. I stated my opinion on Halle. You seem like the one who's mad. Quoting me for what? I don't care what you think.

Halle always played the biracial but I'm black card. Meaning that she would abandon calling herself black if it did not benefit her.

Yea I remember Swordfish and her tiddles scene was a Huge enough deal because up to that point Halle did no kind of nudity. And say what you want about the racial dynamics of Monster's Ball, but I'd be got damn if there wasn't a faction of us brothers who never saw the entire film, but found a way to watch that one sex scene, for our own selfish purposes :shaq:

Me personally, I know I'm in a minuscule minority when I say if I had to choose between Halle and Jada Pinkett-Smith's freaky ass low key Scientologist self...I'd choose the Kiss of Death :francis:

i cant say ive ever been the biggest fan but she was great in introducing dorthy dandredge. like, if that aint proof she can carry a film. i will say as long as i can remember, even when she wasnt a leading woman, was seen as a bigger draw than other popular black actresses.
