    Halle Berry's Ex: Don't Call My Baby Black!
    2/4/2011 3:00 PST by Staff

    Halle Berry's ex, Gabriel Aubry, "goes nuts" whenever anyone would refer to their daughter as "black" ... sources tell TMZ. [​IMG]
    Sources connected with the former couple say ... whenever Gabriel would read a story about Nahla that referred to her as "black," he would go off, insisting his baby was white. We're told Gabriel would tell Halle and others they should demand a "retraction" when such references were made regarding his daughter.

    As TMZ previously reported, sources tell us Gabriel has called Halle the "N" word -- and one woman previously involved with him referred to him as a "borderline racist."

    We have been unable to get in touch with Gabriel's reps for comment.

    So her banging the Billy Bob character in "Monster's Ball" was more true-to-life than we'd otherwise believe? That is excellent news.

    Technically, the baby is 75 percent white. Halle is 50-50 and this guy is 100 percent.

    I don't know what he is bent out of shape about though...

    Probably a safe bet she'll be hot as hell and batshit crazy like both of her parents.

    Doesnt that make Nahla 1/4th black if Halle is 50-50?

    'One-drop rule’ persists
    The centuries-old “one-drop rule” assigning minority status to mixed-race individuals appears to live on in our modern-day perception and categorization of people like Barack Obama, Tiger Woods, and Halle Berry.

    So say Harvard University psychologists, who’ve found that we still tend to see biracials not as equal members of both parent groups, but as belonging more to their minority parent group. The research appears in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

    “Many commentators have argued that the election of Barack Obama, and the increasing number of mixed-race people more broadly, will lead to a fundamental change in American race relations,” says lead author Arnold K. Ho, a Ph.D. student in psychology at Harvard. “Our work challenges the interpretation of our first biracial president, and the growing number of mixed-race people in general, as signaling a color-blind America.”

    In the United States, the “one-drop rule” — also known as hypodescent — dates to a 1662 Virginia law on the treatment of mixed-race individuals. The legal notion of hypodescent has been upheld as recently as 1985, when a Louisiana court ruled that a woman with a black great-great-great-great-grandmother could not identify herself as “white” on her passport.
