To say this is damaging to black women is crazy. If anything it could be viewed as displaying how gorgeous sisters are. Infact rather than set women of color back it probably opens doors for more awards. Embrace sex and love scenes as the beautiful thing it is. I didn't see anything wrong with that scene. It was very tame actually. How one views it is normally a reflection of how liberal minded one is and how one feels about themselves. Halle is an amazing actress and deserved an award.

It is therefor sad that the first oscar given to a black woman was given for Halle Berry being willing - the only willing woman in Hollywood- to actually have sex on film. She lost her husband over it but more than that - she did more to set back black actresses than slavery did for her race. The uncut sex scene shows that the two were not acting but having actual sex.
