    I’m not surprised that no black folks complained about the white lady who pulled a Kanye on the black dude during his acceptance speech. I guess since this happened to a black person @ the VMA’s*(the Kanye incident)* the president of the united states wont call the white lady a jackazz…Congrats to Monique tho

    I’m so happy for you Mo, you go girl. I just wish it could have been for another part you played. This stero type they seem to put on us is not cool. But we’ll over come that like we’ve over come everything else. Too happy for you…….

    im a big monique fan, but i wouldnt of played that part for any amount of money im supprise in her but at the same time happy that she won an award. i just wish it was for something positive like her comedy roles.we are exploited enough as it is we see it everyday we know this stuff exist. i was molested by both sexes. my ordeal was over by thirteen.like i said we dont need to make bundles of money off of it. all it does is reinforce thier behavior to keep on being predators. their thoughts are they made money pertraying me so i cant be to bad. i was their inspiration. so be careful cause that exactly how they think.

    IM SORRY BUT IM NOT TOO FAVORABLE OF THIS AWARD(NOT BEING NEGATIVE) CONGRATS AND ALL FOR A AWARD.BUT WHY IS IT THAT THEY NEVER THROW US AWARD FOR THE POSITIVE BUT WE CAN CLEARLY GET IT WHEN WE DEGRADE OURSELVES OR LOOK PLAIN OL IGNORANT. IF WE ARE NOT ON FILM SCREWING THE OLDEST STAR IN HOLLYWOOD(HALLE BERRY, OR PLAYING THE ROLE OF THE DIRTY COP THAT USED HIS OWN TO GET ON TOP(DENZEL WASHINGTON) OR THE WELFARE MOTHER WHO ABUSES HER CHILD AND STANDS BY AND LET HER MAN IMPREGNATE HER CHILD(MONIQUE.HOW ABOUT GIVING MY GIRL(ANIKA NONI ROSE) AN OSCAR FOR BEST SUPPORTING OR LEADING ACTRESS IN OUR FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN DISNEY MOVIE!!!! HOW BOUT THAT!!

    I love Monique but she will never get any further than where she is now because she just does not have good business sense. Does she or does she not know that there are just some things a person in her position should not be saying. All that talent, down the drain with her big mouth.

    YES I HAVE TO ADMIT AND SAY THAT IT WAS GREAT ACTING AND CONGRATS TO MO’ FOR A ROLE WELL PLAYED BUT WITH THAT I WANT TO SAY THAT IF WE AS A RACE PLAN TO SHOW MOVIES THAT PORTRAY BLK PPL EXPERIENCES PLEASE BY ALL MEANS SHOW A PURPOSE AND A REASON AND A POSITIVE OUTLOOK.. MEANING NOT TO SAY A HAPPY ENDING BUT A LEAST SHOW YOUNG PPL THAT ARE GOING THRU SUCH ABUSE THERE IS HELP THAT MOVIE NOT ONLY HAD A NEGATIVE PURPOSE IT ALSO SHOWED NO WAY OUT..

    Go Mo! I was stunned to see her in that role. But she nailed it!! I hope that people are smart enough to realize that even though the actors were of one color, the problem isnt!!!! Thank you Mr. Fletcher for having the compassion, decency and nerve to bring focus and attention to the system in America that is designed to keep you down, no matter what your race. Bravo! Enjoy those awards! You have earned them!

    CONGRATS,CONGRATS MO’ BUT I AGREE WITH MIZZ-LUST IT’S ASHAME THAT WE HAVE TO DENIGRATE OURSELVES TO GET THE AWARDS WE’VE EARNED. THIS ONLY LETS ME KNOW THAT WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO, AND IT MAKES YOU WONDER IF WE WILL EVER GET THERE.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BIGSEXY_2060/ BIGSEXY_2060

    I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT I THINKS MO’ IS A GREAT ACTOR,AND COMEDIAN AND I LOVE HER SHOW AND I THINKS SHE DOES A GREAT GOOD JOB IN EVERYTHING THAT I’VE SEEM HER DO. AND THE PREVIOUS COMMENT WAS NOT A PUT DOWN ON HER BUT THE WHITE INDUSTRY IN WHICH SHE AND OTHERS HAVE TO WORK. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO BE TREATED FAIRLY.

    Wow! Monique’s character cut every mother who is just like the character she embodied in the movie ‘Precious’. The woman had me in tears when she went to the welfare office to reunite with her daughter.

    She was awesome and deserved every bit of her Oscar! Go Monique!
