America can’t expect any gratitude for all the opportunities persons of politically preferred pigmentation are afforded. Place a mulatto on a pedestal, proclaim that she is beautiful, grant her an Academy Award, plaster her face across the fashionable magazines, shower fortunes upon her — and she will whimper that she is the victim of racism. I refer to Tinseltown’s Halle Berry:

The X-Men actress says she was bullied “because of the color of my skin.” “Because my mother was white and my father was black… we got called Oreos and names, and kids just didn’t understand, so we were different. We were the brunt of a lot of jokes. So, I think my need to please and my desire to achieve was because I was constantly trying to prove that I was as good as the other white students. I felt very ‘less than,’ and I thought, ‘If I can beat them at everything, then I can be as good as them.’”

She should have starred in that recent Procter & Gamble commercial. Her phony rhetoric could almost have been lifted straight out of it. These days she could probably use the work.

The racists she went to school with were so nasty that they put her on the cheerleading team and made her prom queen, class president, and editor of the school newspaper.

Students who attended her high school have responded to her lies in a private Facebook group, stating for the record that there was an above-average percentage of blacks at the school and that young Halle was very popular and “treated like a queen.” Her fictional account of her youth is a hate hoax.

A put-upon victim enduring racist oppression.
