A black person with legitimate grievances, grievances supported by other black people, is dismissed and she is subjected to personal attacks. It's just more of the same, more of what African Americans have come to expect.

Your posts just reeks with insensitivity and bigotry. Halle, on her way to stardom, takes demeaning roles. She did what others have done to start their careers. Yet you denigrate her for that. Because she took those roles, you feel she should not expect anything better. You would never take that attitude toward someone not black. People are expected to start low and strive for the top. If they achieve a measure of success they are not expected to just stop but seek to do even better.However, you and others feel this should not be the case for black people. We should always be satisfied and not complain, not even about proven discrimination.

Am I surprised that you could give a rats ass about Halle? No. I suspect you wouldn't give a rats ass about any black person who dares to complain about his experience with racial discrimination. I've encountered your attitude before. Halle is good for nothing in your opinion. Never mind the successes she has had. I guess in your mind that success was unearned. Shut up Halle, don't complain, accept your fate is the rant of those unconcerned about equal opportunity for all.

You may keep your support. Given the tone of your post it's clear that it is anything but genuine. Your attitude is not uncommon when the subject is a black person. It is abundantly clear that where race relations are concerned, this country as a long way to go.
