@theoriginalsafinette I have to say, I don't agree with you either. And I'm a person o f colour for what matters. I think Ellen Pompeo has a (really good) point here, "separation doesn't get us any closer". I grew up just like her daughter with a white mom and a black dad(wasn't always easy). Sure, there are still racists people out there -on both sides BTW- but the best way to fight racism is to stop speaking races and start speaking people like she said. And that Botox mom shouldn't be a mom

How patronising was it when that women said 'well we still need them'? I totally agree with Ellen. The segregation doesn't help at all.

@josbo51715 I agree with you 100%. Even know i look back at that movie monster's ball and hate it for what it is a big disgrace. Halle Berry is so beautiful and they had to use the nasty old guy to do her. she looked so nasty in that sex scene and the way he was treating her proves that's how they see black woman as slaves and nothing eles.

Just look at the Oscar awards. Hattie McDaniel received an Academy for being a man. Halle Berry received an award for being a slut for an old white man. Monique received an award for being an abusive mother. Just at these three cases and someone like Ellen should understand why there is a need for NAACP awards. Hollywood does not recognize black actors unless they are playing disparaging roles.

Ellen Pompeo does bring up a good point about seperation, and I think she means well. However, I don't see that our society is set up to where everything is equal for everyone...that's why I believe the need still exists for the NAACP, BET, historically black colleges and the like. If this country honored, valued and showed appreciation for ALL people from the begining, there would have never been a need for organizations, entertainment, and institutions based on race!

@wbooker10 Opinions can't be wrong. &I know full well that my view may seem racist. But to be honest there’re few strong families out there w/a solid blk couple. U keep talking abt specifics &u need to understand that the world doesn't work that way. Just because u see it one way does not mean it's like that for the majority. U use ur family like it's the standard &it's wishful thinking. Naiveté on ur part. Singin &cookin does not mean that they didn't have a problem w/ur mom in the beginning.

@GeminiTeeVee :This is really an excellent point, which underscores the fact that the larger society(whites) not onnly fails to appreciate and value us(blacks) and our contributions, but continues to assert and believe that they ought be the sole arbiters of determining who and what is important/significant, despite a centuries old track record teeming with evidence invalidating this erroneous and widely held notion.

@LesciK12 if circumstances were different, wow you're acting like there are no 100% black familys out there.The sad thing about you is how much you sound like a racist , but you can't even see it. Also about my father side of my family, i'm not going to asks any of my 2 aunts a bullshit question like that. Because my 2 aunt have came to my house on holidays ever year cook and sing with my mom, so i have no need to asks them your opinion is your opinion, but it is WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
