    just because ur father is black that does not make u fully black ur mixed if ur mother is any other race i dont understand why blacks cant see true black beauty for what it is there is no reason why halle should have been below gabrielle union ,beyonce,or janet i think that in the black mindset alot believe in order to be beautifull you must be washed with a least a ounce of white or another race

    These are all beautiful sexy womens. Being black doesn,t make them who they are. There are womens of other racies who who are just as beautiful and sexy. They didn,t reach their sucess by being black, it came from within theis heart and their power and beleif to succeed.
