Why did black ppl universally agree that Halle Berry was the GOAT black woman in the 90's-00's?

[JoseLuisGotcha]

She was bad but she is a head case ...you’d be surprised how many “bad bytches" are head cases....i read about her upbringing and it seems she got real daddy issues and her pops used to beat her moms so that could be the reasoning behind it i don't know...but she was great to look at


but my 90's queen will forever be Sade

Only one that came close was Tyra.

Tralalalalalalalala:Hmmmas:

once Strictly Business came out it was a wrap

the face, the hairstyle, the body

she leapfrogged every female entertainer at once..

-----the guy who said she can't act, is right though

I always thought Nia Long had the prettier face, but I think Halle’s body put her over the edge.

I will say that, at the same time, there were monoracial black women that should’ve been placed on the same pedestal as Halle (ie. Kenya Moore). But colorism is just a part of black history/present, sooo...

@.number.(n)one.*





she had competition tho

Nia,Tyra,Victoria Rowell, Chenoa Maxwell, Robbine Lee, Angie Bassett etc.....

she was among the most known but the baddest there's no calling that*

 

[Roland Coltrane]

Vicky Dillard

chenoa maxwell

Robinne Lee

victoria rowell

none of them had anywhere near the profile Halle did, Halle was a legit star, which worked in her favor


Lotta the chicks being posted in here the average nikkas wouldn't even know by name

I'm from that era..and until she said that her mom was white, nobody thought of halle berry as being biracial......I don't think people viewed her as light skinned either to keep it 100.

I don't think colorism had as much to do with her taking the crown as people are making it seem.

SADE OVERRATED AS fukk! I SHOULD'VE MADE THIS THREAD ABOUT HER LOL !

Ok, well that's the obvious answer to the question. She was an a list actor, most of the others weren't

 

[Cadillac]

Wasn't around for that era, but looking at her early pics, Halle was easily one of the baddest sistas around

90’s nikkas was color struck

anything light and bright got their own pedestal

knew this was going to be posted

 

[MR. SNIFLES]

YOU CATS IS BUGGIN. NOBODY WAS fukkING WITH PRIME HALLE. NONE OF THE CHICKS POSTED WAS fukkING WITH HALLE AT THAT TIME. YOU COULD MAKE A CASE FOR NIA LONG BUT SHE HIT HER PRIME MAD LATE. PRIME HALLE WAS ALREADY IN THE RECORD BOOKS AT THAT POINT.
