As I understand it, Jay Leno or someone in his staff jokingly told her she looked Jewish, before she went on air (why, I don't know). When she was on the air talking to Jay Leno, she repeated that statement and it came back to haunt her. I really don't think she meant any harm to Jewish people.

Because Al & Jesse are racist as well. Although, I don't think Halle is racist, her comment was racist. It's funny about the double standard though, why is it easier to forgive beautiful Halle than it is to forgive Don Imus? His comments were no more hurtful to blacks than hers were to Jews. 2D

Both Jackson and Sharpton do not want the negative publicity of a religiously racist comment. Besides, they are not the center of attraction in commenting on Berry.

Jesse and Sharpton hate jews, they follow the rants of Farrakan.
And she was publicly scorned, she's on the front page of yahoo news for something so stupid.

Because they're both selective racist. Only through their feeble minds will they decide what is and isn't a racist remark, statement or act.

Because she is African American and Al and Jesse are ignorant ambulance chasers.....They dont fight for injustice for Human Beings..They fight for injustice for African Americans........ SEE GENGI M who asked the question "Is America Racist??""" here is the perfect example of Racism in America....She made a racial comment saying that her nose looked Jewish in a photo and Al and Jesse didnt say BOOOOOOOOO...As usual.....but if a white person said THERE nose looked like and African American ....alll HELL WOULD BREAK LOOSE.....
Double Standards are UNFAIR....

I don't know I haven't heard her comment. Can you respond with what her comment was. I was just wondering if he's commented on all the illegal Mexicans? Do you know?

The comment she made was about herself, so I don't believe that comes up to the level of a racist comment against Jews.
Please stop using this site to post your baseless rants.

well, she explained it - people are too sensitive.
Al & Jesse are nowhere to be found because they hate Jews, Whites, Indians, Mexican, and the list goes on. They hate anyone who isn't black

Her statement wasn't racist. Jewish is a religion, not a race. It was a clumsy thing to say, but not racist.
