I think when you raise kids to love who you are and be the best they can be and being a good loving mother they would only want some one of that character.I have three boys and very nice looking and they want someone like me,so getting someone like me they want her to look like me to and I raised them this way and it takes alot of putting me into the boys.

Genes are funny things.. My husband has very dark brown eyes and mine own are dark brown/green hazel… our son had cornflower blue eyes until he was 4.. he now has greenblue/yellow hazel eyes. Skin color is different for white people too.. My son is very pale and yet our daughter is olive and as we joke can walk into a hot room and tan.. whereas her brother burns and never tans. Race is not the issue.. although you all seem to focus on it.. I am just happy that Halle is enjoying motherhood and has a healthy happy child and loving man to expirience this wonderful journey with.. and that is all that really matters.. really now..isn’t it. Oh.. and their daughter is way too beautiful and I can’t wait to see her grow up!

Black , white, Asian… or wherever, WHO CARES! We have to stop focussing on color (or stop saying “race cause it’s only one race: the Human kind race!) skin…
Come on, look how beautiful is Nahla, who doesn’t want to have such a beautiful baby. Not only because of her eyes, but because of all her features.
I’m African-American and my husband is White American; and let me tell you something: if somebody critizises my children bcuz there are ‘too’ white, or ‘too’ black I’m gonna say to that person: “Get a life and welcome to the NEW CENTURY” (I wanted to write “go f**** yourself”…lol)

THE BABY IS A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING WHETHER “DARK” OR “LIGHT”.
I THINK WE SHOULD FOCUS MORE ON CHANGING OUR ATTITUDES FROM BEING SO NEGATIVE TO POSITIVE. IT SOUNDS LIKE SOME OF US CAN USE SOME ANGER MANAGEMENT TRAINING OR WE MAY END UP BUSTING A VEIN. WHY SUCH ANGRY SOUNDING RESPONSES?? TRY NOT TO GET SO IRRITATED BY THE RESPONSES. THEY ARE JUST OPINIONS XXOO

I’m white, and I honestly think that most babies are beautiful, regardless of their skin color. Halle Berry’s baby is absolutely beautiful, and if she had been of a darker complexion she would have been beautiful too.
I’m just happy for Berry and her boyfriend, they must be so thrilled about having such an adorable baby.

Wow…. I’m also stunned at the ignorant comments made by people. Black and white!
Why can’t people understand that the child is what she is…. a beautiful QUADROON little girl.

Quadroons come in all colors, and with various ethinic features.
One notable quadroon is singer CARLEY SIMON. Other quads’ are tennis star Boris Beckers 2 sons, Noah & Elias. Their mother Barbara Feltus Becker (ex-wife) is 1/2 & 1/2 and Boris is (most likely 100% )white so that makes their boys Quadroons. Both boys are extremely cute! Noah is medium brown skinned, while Elias is very light peaches & cream skinned. Also, Noah has beautiful dark curly hair, and Elias has equaly beautiful blong wavy hair.

If you care to see any photos of the afore mentioned… you can GOOGLE them.
P.s. little Nahla is the splitting image of Halle’s mom… Judith(?).

I’ve seen Nahla’s dad, but I don’t recall how looks. Anyway she’s a beautiful little girl and she looks just like Halle’s mom.

As a black mother of a asian and black child, I’m always curious to understand black peoples reaction to us. My son looks more asian then black…for now. Everyone expected that he would take more after me then his father but that goes to show you can not predict how genes mix.

The black community seems obsessed with skin tone, hair texture, etc. This is the majority of comments received after seeing my son. We as a community need to admit and then start the work of re-forming our mindset about these racial “markers”. It seems we have a long way to go after reading thru some of the comments on Halle Berry’s daughters “appearance” but I’m glad that issue was addressed and an open dialogue can be started thru sites like these.
