im glad the baby is fine. but halle is a bellywarming !@#$%. and that cracker that knocked her up.

Congratulations to her, her child, and her guy! I’m glad everything went okay. Too bad some people just can’t grant best wishes to the birth of a child.

Halle spent 9 months in a white woman’s womb in order to make it into the world? GROW UP!

Ca’t wait for baby pics and name!

TO DANA…OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE SOME PERSONAL ISSUES..TO FEEL THE NECESSITY TO MAKE THE COMMENTS YOU HAVE MADE ABOUT HALLE BERRY…JUST KNOW….THAT..IF YOU THINK YOUR PATHETIC IMMATURE WORDS EFFECT HER IN ANYWAY…THINK AGAIN…GET A LIFE ..STOP HATEN..FEEL VERY SORRY FOR YOU….AND God can only help someone so bitter as yourself..honestly….you don’t even know her…why in the world would you say such things…God bless you…you really need it.

[quote comment="23275"]TO DANA…MY BAD…AFTER READING FURTHER DOWN..I SEE THAT AHHH “BROWNEE” MADE THE COMMENTS….SO MY APOLOGY TO DANA…BUT BROWNEE….AS I SAID ABOVE GET A LIFE….YOU ARE PATHETIC…[/quote]
You are still wrong. It was daniel (the second comment) who made the orginal comment

I know that baby is “BEE-YOU-TEE-FUL!!!”

I’m not mad at Halle’s choice of man especially with all of these dumb negros and athletes sniffing up behind white/hispanic women…Look at these jet black sambos like Westly Snipes, Taye Diggs, Puffy, Reggie Bush, all prefer the lighter side…So why is it wrong for Halle to date outside of her race, besides it’s not she’s never dated a brotha before she married two black men, and she’s mixed so technically speaking she can go either way.

Congratulations Halle! I am so happy for her she deserves to be happy after all she has been through. I am glad the child was born healthy and I am sure she is beautiful just like her mother. God bless

Yes im happy for her too i agree with step. There are alot of sister starting to date white men so go halle.

I’m assuming Stephanie edited out her sick comment.

Congrats to the couple and their baby girl! Can’t wait to see the name (please, nothing crazy, please!) and pics!

i guess she wanted to filter the “black blood” from her gene pool.

@ del, lady, the “so-called” Next General

@dottie im sorry i did not mean to agree on everything lol. Im agree about how we do not support each other as far as halle she can have a baby by an man she wants too. She wanted a baby so bad and she got one and im so happy for her. So i do not agree on everything he said. Im not a hater far from it lol.

@ lady, hummmmm going back on your previous statement. Hypocrisy is you.

@ dottie (reminds me of a italian called totti) anyway i’m not a hater. I do not mind if she acts in “white” films at least she is breaking away from the soooo many stereotypical roles black women or anyone non-white face today. However the fact she went for this guy is clearly to have a child that is “good” looking and will be more socially accepted then she was/is. They not married nor are they planning too. I’m guessing they will break up within 5yrs, so that child will be messed up one way or another.

P.S. could we get a quote system up in here. All other forums and blogs have it. Stop being so tight and or lazy “BROWN SISTA”

wonderful.

Hello ladies and gentlemen. I just found out that Halle Berrys’ baby name is Nahla Ariela Aubry. Congratulations to the new parents!

Dottie, you are the perfect example of what I call “the one’s in denial”. You ask “why?” Why do you think? Our history cannot and will not be swept under the rug.What I state is fact. We still have to deal with it. Whether you agree with my statements or not, It’s there. Maybe presidential hopeful Obama can heal America of it’s wounds. Like it or not Dotti,when any of US is in the spotlight we do represent for the most part “Black America”. When Halle won the Oscar what were her comments? Don’tremember? Use the Internet. I hope she has a good motherhood. But again she could have found any good-looking brother to have it with if that’s what she wanted. As far as my previous statements, it’s true. We just have to stop asking “why” all the time because believe me no other race is asking. Seem’s the only “REAL” african family in the US is the one’s that come over. Not the one’s who have been here that celebrate black love among their culture. We can too. Brothers find you a good sister girl who will have your back at all costs. Sisters find you a good black man that will support you and take care of you like you want. “WE ARE OUT HERE”!

My goodness del. You know, there is this thing called “agree to disagree”. First of all, I agree with most of what you said except for you stating that I’m in denial. I suppose this was some kind of retaliation for me calling you a hater, so I apologize. Believe me, I’m not expecting you to give me an apology about my “so-called” denial.

I agree with you on these points alone:

1.) It is a fact that Black America has quite a history that is to be celebrated throughout the decades even centuries of its ups and downs. Yes, I am quite aware of it.

2.)I do remember Halle’s emotional speech at the Oscars, I’ve watched it.

3.)Good men and women come in all colors and races if you’re willing to open your heart and mind to that fact alone.

Overall, you are entitled to have an opinion as I am. You can stick your guns, and I’ll stick to mine. If you wish to discuss it more in depth, email me instead.

Ok. Dottie, email address?

Del,

Ever occured to you that she didn’t wnat just a “good-looking brother”? Ever occured to you that she wanted something more? Ever occured to you this human being is the person she felt a connection with?

I mean after two marriages, and countless physically abuse relationships, maybe the woman just wanted love in what ever hue it happened to come in.

Oh yes, Halle’s mother could have found a white man to have her children with. But she didn’t. Aren’t you glad? I sure bet Halle is!

BTW: Why embrace Barack, if interracial unions bother you so? Or does it only get under your skin when it’s a black woman involved. SMH

Brownee, the quoter feature as well as the smilies were weighing the server down and causing it to move slowly, so I had to remove both features unfortunately.

Also, you are putting the url to your gravatar in the space provived for your site and you shouldn’t do that :)

Duly noted and corrected. Thanks Steph! (imagine thumbs up smiley face here) :p

Halle Berry is not spending time outside her race. Halle is half n’ half and is simply dating her lighter half.

Dana,
That’s a good one. I hope that Mr. “Del” reads your comment.

I don’t think it is fair of anyone to ask mixed race people to choose one side or the other. They are both. I think that is probably one of the most outrageous demands that our society inflicts on people.

Nefertari,
As always, it is so nice to hear from you. With all my heart, I hope it won’t be the last.
Now, as to your question.
For the most part, our marriage has not been questioned by our immediate circle of friends; they have accepted us as just another married couple. However, early in our marriage, 2 of her girlfriends were not very amused with us and slowly faded away from us to the point were we have lost all contact with them, and they with us. In fact, they didn’t even show up for our wedding. That’s unfortunate. I’m sure that your Puerto Rican friend and his wife have gone through a similar experience. As far as my friends go, Latino, Oriental, Afro-American, the few Jews I know, they all accept us, and like I said, see us as another married couple.
Her family took to me right away. Her mother, God rest her soul, treated me like a son. Every time we would go and visit her, she always wanted to feed me; she was one of those old fashioned counrty ladies from the south and she could really cook and bake. Me and her brother became close. We would always go to sports events together… mostly Laker basketball games. Our favorite player was Kobe Bryant, of course! Tragically, our brother, notice what I said, “our brother”, left us about 2 years ago. He was just 57 years old.
My family was a bit of a harder situation. My dad, God rest his soul, took to my wife almost right away. He would talk to my wife for over an hour non-stop. My mother, God rest her soul, did not know how to understand my wife at first. But over time, she got to where she became very comfortable with my wife to the point where she was starting to teach my wife how to cook traditional Mexican dished such as enchiladas. After my dad pasted, we had to bring my mother in to live with us because my 2 sisters refused to take my mother in with them. That is extremely un-Mexican. According to tradition, it is the daughters who are to take in the mother after her husband passes. Get this, Nefertari. My mother and father had been married for 62 years! Wow. One day a stroke hit my mother and paralized her entire right side. Over the next 10 months her health failed little by little. During the last few weeks my mother lived, she told my wife, “You have treated me better than my own daughters”. My mother had come full circle and accepted my wife.
My 2 sisters are a very interesting story. One of them, even after 25 years, still can’t understand me and my wife. But then again, she’s very odd to begin with anyway.
Very early in my marriage, my other sister would make stupid little comments here and there. Here’s an example: she once told me, and a group of family members (my wife wasn’t there that day) that blacks were not capable of creating culture. “Oh really?”, I said. I added, “So then I take it that you’ve never heard of Gospel Music?; you’ve never heard of Jazz? That’s culture. I also take it that you’ve never heard of Langston Hughes?; you’ve never heard of Zora Neale Hurston? Their writings is culture.” I got no reply from my sister. This particular sister amd my wife are now the best of friends. You see, Nefertari, it’s like this: if someone is going to intellectualized with me, they better know what they’re talking about. If they don’t, I’m going to make them sound like an imbicile. In fact, I was so incensed at the remarks made by “The Next General”, “Daniel”, and especially by “Del” pertaining to Halle Berry having a baby from a white man, that I posted a reply showing them the error in their logic, berating them, particularly “Del”, for being totally devoid of knowledge of history, and in general,lacking, to a disturbing and mortifying degree, being thoroghly insufficient in matters of a scholastic and scholarly nature. Appearently, my return comments were so full of antipathy that they were not allowed to be posted; I don’t see them. Hey, they pissed me off! But, let us continue.
A few of my wife’s male friends did have something to say even when we started just to go together. My wife ignored it at first. When she told all her friends that she was going to marry me, these guys asked her why. She just told them the truth… I love him and he makes me happy. A few of them started to shy away from her; 2 pressed the issue futher. They promptly got themselves cursed all the way out! My wife is the type that if someone gets her tired of them, she will say something. She will try being patient, but, like everybody else, she has a point where enough is enough. The ones who shyed away from her, as well as the 2 she had to get ugly with, are now speaking to her again, but she says that she no longer sees them in the same light. She’s only polite with them.
As for Latin women, they are rather silly about this whole thing. They can’t handle what they see and keep their distance from me. So be it.
Oh, before I forget, my family has come around to my wife. My great nephews and nieces, along with their husbands and wives, call my wife “Tia”, which is Spanish for “Auntie”. That really touches my wife’s heart. My immediate nephews and nieces call us by our first names.
When we’re out in public, my wife gets the strangest looks from black males and I get the strangest looks from Latin females. It’s too bad that they can’t see the beauty in 2 people finding togetherness and working together to build a nice life for themselves. That is what “Del”, and others, have miserably failed to see. They can’t see the lesson that can be learned by the life of Halle Berry. That lesson is simply this: Halle’s life was full of hurt, pain, heartbreak. As a result, she has chosen to live a life of individuality; to seach for meaning; to search for significance. Yet, she has also shown us that we must be men and women and live with the results of that individuality and that search. In other words, you’re going to have to listen to silly nonsense from people. Halle’s life also says that love, pain, heartbreak, loneliness, the very revelation about life itself, are universal and unique to the human condition… they are all common to all peoples everywhere. But above all, Halle’s life says that if one has the courage to look beyond the horizon for true love, and to dream about perfect love, to take a chance, one will be able to live life to the fullest and enjoy all the richness that life has to offer. And in so doing, one will arrive at the true meaning of life which happens to be the enjoyment of life itself. This true meaning will then live on in the quiet stillness and solitude of one’s heart and soul. Halle Berry’s life has said that the true mission in life is to discover ourselves.
Nefertari, darling, I hope that I have brought some light to your question. If I have, then my heart is happy. Simply put, yes Afro-American males have questioned, but as Halle Berry’s life has shown, that just comes with the territory.
Nefertari, sweetheart, have a very nice Easter Weekend. Be safe, please take care, and be blessed.
From my heart,
Smooth Thug

Smooth Thug, I’m very touched by the story about you and your wife. Very Lovely indeed :-)
