![]() ![]() While the mainstream TMZ press only wants to focus on Berry’s looks and bank account, there is a larger sociological phenomenon going on in this story that is often overlooked. This is further bolstered by some of Berry’s friends saying that Gabriel used to call her “nigger” when they were dating and insisted their daughter was not black. Suddenly Aubrey’s ex-girlfriend is pulling a Mary Harvey and saying that she was shocked he got with Halle Berry after her since he had always held and expressed some fairly racist beliefs. Now after four years, Berry and Aubrey are in a bitter custody battle for daughter Nahla where the racial accusations are flying. So she picked up a pretty boy model, who she knew could give her a pretty baby but who’d never be “Irreplacable.” Madonna did the same thing and got two kids out of it. Seeing as how the Oscar winner never was aligned with the Hip-Hop community’s eligible bachelors, it’s no surprise that she had to look elsewhere when she was staring down 40 years old and wanted a baby. But she certainly gave brothers more of a chance than many brothers have given sistas (“cough,” Wesley Snipes). And she never seemed to be able to make it work with guys such as Michael Ealy. For whatever reason, she ended up with brothers such as David Justice and Eric Benet, who cheated on her or beat her, (allegedly). She deserves a pass from many a barbershop brother who gives her drama for who she dates at this point her life. Let me begin by saying this is not a personal criticism of Ms. Her ongoing nasty custody battle with her white, baby-daddy model Gabriel Aubry is another example of what the American press doesn’t want to say about race relations today. ![]() While on the surface Halle Berry appeared to be her typical glamorous self at the Oscars, in reality she represents a potential headliner for the interracial broken heart tour. The Chris Lee scandal reminds us that white America has a funny way of dealing with interracial issues, but some black people do as well. Newsflash: Your man is a racist! Sounds like a teaser for the next episode of “Tyra!” But for a lot of people of color, a love, date or even simple crush has been ended upon finding out that the person you were feeling, talking to or sexting isn’t quite as open minded as you thought.
