[Sherman]

It’s easy to say ‘get over it’ when you don’t have to deal with all of the negativety that comes with being a person of color. Does anyone know how many roles Halle Berry may have been refused because she wasn’t white? No, you don’t. If she wants to consider it a triumph for black women, who is anyone to say differently? Race seems to matter when I ‘fit the description’ of a criminal or I’m stopped in my car for ‘driving while black’ or can’t get a cab, but it’s a crime when we don’t acknowledge all of humanity when accepting awards. I wonder how many times Jesse Owens was called the N-word before he won the Olympics. After that he was a great American. Things like that just make me laugh.
