Oscars
Greetings SoRHOrs and sistah friends- this is my first reply to a forum question but I have been visiting for a couple of weeks now. I was very pleased on Sunday when Halle and Denzel won but I wish more would have been said about SoRHOr McDaniel. What she accomplished was so great because it was darn near impossible. She was blasted by her people for even playing the role!! Blacks then felt that the role was an insulting STEREOTYPE of black women and frankly it was but those were the only roles offered to blacks at that time. Despite this SHE triumphed and I am PROUD to call her SORHOR!!! I hope that this double blessing on Sunday will indeed "open" those doors and knock those barriers so that more people of color can be allowed to express their talents and be rewarded by their peers for doing so.
