But aren't you essentially saying the same thing by dismissing these people's comments and personal experiences? Or are you just choosing to believe Halle's story over others because it fits into your preconceived image of the US as a supremely racist country? The truth is that some biracial people experienced racism and some did not. Also, I really wish you wouldn't base your opinion about the state of racism in another country that is not your own, on comments made on a celeb blog. It seems a bit silly, if you ask me. Racism does not belong to the US exclusively. Not sure where you live but I can bet you dollars for donuts that unless you live in fairy tale, make-believe world, your country has seen its share of racism as well. @Guam-”We have biracial people talking about how “She should get over it cause when I was a biracial kid I had no problems!” Who cares if she’s talking about her growing up in the 70s 80s, her experience isn’t mine so therefor she’s a liar!”

White Americans, biracial people, and black people - you've managed to pigeon hole them all, tsk tsk. By the way, I'm not American, and I still think Berry is nuts. Surely you're aware of her well-documented, emotionally unstable behavior for years now, and her habit of flinging vicious accusations at her ex's? Or are you new to this planet?

She keeps to herself mostly and while she does have some wild man stories, who cares? She seems like a private woman who just wants to enjoy the simple things in life. Her daughter (and baby daddy and fiance) are all beautiful. I have always liked Halle.

But Skuddles makes an excellent point, Halle accused Aubry of "making racial slurs." Since the court found no evidence of this, and an evaluation determined that he was an important part of Nahla's life and shouldn't be cut out of it, it seems as though Halle decided to make those accusations as part of her bid to cut out her sperm donor from their child's life. It was a low-class move from someone who is mentally immature, possibly unstable, and lousy at relationships. Plus the accusation itself was ridiculous - why would Aubry make racial slurs when his own daughter was of mixed ethnicities?

I had the same issue with relationships not working out, so I stopped dating for a bit until I figured out what was going on. Turns out I was picking the wrong kind of man for me. Now my taste in men has changed, and I am careful to avoid those who remind me of my previous boyfriends. I enjoy dating much more now with the men I choose to date. Too bad Halle isn't able to admit responsibility for anything she does or that happens to her. Loira, I agree with you 100%.

Halle and I are of the same age. I get her comments re: being biracial. The millenials (sp) of today are growing up in a different world. Just because the world presents a different face to them doesn't negate the messages society sent to her and to us born of that age and prior to that. If nothing else, respect her experience and not try to superimpose yours on hers. Rock on, Halle! Halle can’t seem to catch a break at this site.

We have White Americans in a state of denial "Racism, what racism" and "Well,she's crazy so she's probably making the racist stuff up and the audacity of her thinking ANYONE let alone someone white would be jealous of her!? She's totally lying!". We have biracial people talking about how "She should get over it cause when I was a biracial kid I had no problems!" Who cares if she's talking about her growing up in the 70s 80s, her experience isn't mine so therefor she's a liar! And crazy! Did I say crazy? And then we have the black folks talking about how "She's not special!! We're ALL mixed and FYI she doesn't look mixed, she looks like my black family members..." Sheeshuzzz....My goodness. I am not American but I get what Halle is talking about now. Wow. Woah, I’m actually starting to understand what Halle is talking about after reading this comment section.
