Halle berry is half white and half black. So regardless of what everyone says, in my book, she is not 'black'. She completely ignores the fact that she is half white when she said in her acceptance speech that she is black. I'm all for being proud of one's heritage, but everyone, including Halle, seems to ignore that her mother is white!

Hattie McDaniel was the first black to ever win an Oscar. She won Best Supporting Actress for Gone With the Wind in 1940. Halle Berry was the first black actress to win Best Actress.

False. I believe she is the first "best actress" winner. The housekeeper from Gone With the Wind won an Oscar as well.

According to the BBC news, yes.
--- Edit ---
She is the first to win in the "Best Actress" category. However, Hattie McDaniels won a best supporting actress Oscar for Gone With the Wind and Whoopi Goldberg got one for Ghost
