Natalie Portman Just Ain't 'Folks'


Actress-we've-never-seen Natalie Portman has issued an apology for a statement she claims was -- surprise -- an incomplete thought.

An interview in August's Allure magazine (not pictured here), quoted Portman as saying 'I'm not black, but I know what it feels like.'

Portman has a written a letter stating that the pronoun 'it' was 'not intended to signify that I know "how black people feel" but rather that I know what Dubois' (Souls of Black Folk author W.E.B. DuBois) concept of double-consciousness feels like.'

Wow! How many times did Portman have to blow Henry Louis Gates to get that kind of an education?
