@66, That’s what wrong with this world. too many people feel like people owe them something. Beyonce doesn’t owe anything to you as far as saying she wish she was latino…hell, if she wish she was half chinese and australian it’s her perogotive. The same as if Jlo or Shakira both said tomorrow they wish they were black…so! They don’t owe anything to their race. We may fit in the same ethinicty, but Beyonce’s sould isn’t bound to yours…this goes beyond race, that’s with life in general. People don’t owe you anything. If you want something in life, you do the work!

In the interview she said her one of her bestfriends is cuban and they were excited when she was working with that latin singer. She said the exact same thing when she did the people magazine interview. I guess she has some script they made up for her.

These comments are great! Nobody has said anything really stupid yet!

I want to know why, if they’ve embraced her so much, they didn’t buy the album??? I had a professor who was obsessed with Beyonce, a Spanish professor (though she claimed her parents were dignitaries who insisted they speak proper English. Go figure.)…Anyway, I bet they’re embracing her looks, not her music… The few awards are the equivalent of Britney’s seventy trillion albums sold….

Why yall getting all hyped up, yall know she aon’t trying to diss nlack ppl, for god sake, yall need to get a damn life, cus it ain’t that serious! I’m done! gahhh! stu[id ass negros.

Dang, already 78 comments. It’ll be on 500 before I wake up tomorrow. Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise!

this FAKE girl need to go to school or get a tutor for public speaking. she is clearly as dumb as she looks running around the world being fake and stupid. soooooooooo overrated, everything about her is fake from hair to toe. if you have nothing sensible to say, just smile and look pretty, dumb ass bitch. she irks me not hating but just the truth.

Beyonce is a blatant idiot! I would of course like to applaud CL for finally realizing the fact that Beyonce gives terrible interviews. Her answers are the same mono-tone generic giberish for every question in every interview she has ever done. It’s like she’s been programmed to do it that way. But you can’t go against the machine, you go against it’s maker. Beyonce doesn’t just give bad interviews, the girl can’t speak at all and it’s mainly because she’s not educated the way she needs to be. I guess her big shot no holds bar father didn’t think of that when he’s pimping her to the media. First she only makes her music for black people and now she wishes she was latina… And we have young girls who actually look up to her… Beauty isn’t everything people and it will eventually fade if Tina Knowles is anything to go by, lol, however, dumb is forever! And it’s does also reflect in her music and if you don’t know what I’m talking about just go back and listen to every track on her albums including those of Destiny’s Child. She is 26 for godsakes you would think that as much as she focuses on stabbing her so called friends or ex bandmates in the back, and her horrible acting that she would care as much about her speech. It’s just really really really sad! Let’s set the standards higher people. That said, what do you think her and Jay talk about… I’ve heard Jay speak and he seems somewhat intelligent and articulate enough I can’t imagine how they’ve last this long. I guess love does conquer all because I couldn’t get with someone who stuck on basic 4th grade English!

beyonce is self obsessed
shes dosnt talk about anything but herself when she speaks…
the look of her face has become sickening to me because shes so trapped by her “looks” its sad,,
people are too busy loving the fact that shes sucessful and has money to realize how shallow she has become,,,
seeing her shake her ass on the stage that nelson mandela sat on did it for me…
i dont respect her at all…
money dosnt always equal sucess.

@71…Happens to me all the time….its sad!

lol it’s funny how CL chose that pic of beyonce. intresting…neway

that bitch obviously wants to be like jlo and looks up to her. she also wants to be like shakira thats why she had her hair wavy right after shakira came out and had her in her video beautiful liar, which theme was to make them look alike and the camera was playing tricks making the viewer think they were the same person and not know who was who. she was trying so hard to belly dance.. LMAO..poor thing tries so damn hard. thats why her hair is blonde and she doesnt embrace her natural roots.

beyonce has always wished she was latina and now its coming into light….

shes cute y doesnt she just love herself?

FOR THIS GROWN ASS WOMEN TO HAVE BEEN IN THE INDUSTRY SINCE SHE WAS 13 OR WHATEVER……YOU WOULD THINK SHE COULD SPEAK IN AN INTELLIGENT MANNER! I SWEAR THIS CHILD IS A FAKE & PHONEY RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES! THATS EXACTLY WHY I HAVE NEVER BOUGHT ANY OF HER CDS! HER LATINA & CREOLE FAMILY CAN HAVE THE HONORS! BWAHHHHHHH!

and wtf??

bitch came out with one spanish song- irreplaceable in spanish and now she has crossed over?

oh please!

Why is everyone saying ‘’she was butt-kissing?” Why can’t you label it appropiately, she is a SELF HATING NEGRO! Black people, let’s get it together! Stop being docile!

I’m not surprised. Why? Because she’s illiterate. Because she “thinks” she’s some sort of business person with the House of Dereon and because she’s managed to accumulate a few hits, we’ve automatically credited her intellect account with all these points. She’s not bright. I’ve heard her speak before and it just makes me cringe (anybody remember how dumb she looked when she was called out on tape about the PETA fur coat thing?)

OK - maybe that’s a bit harsh. But I will say that she probably meant to say, “I’ve always been fascinated by Latino heritage. Latinos have a rich and full culture that’s just infectious to be around. And to know that I have Latino fans is really flattering and actually very uplifting. I love all of my Latino bros and sisters.”

This is what happens when you go from H.S. to stardom. (Take a note. Learn from the mistakes of others, kids.)

i said this in previous post that this bitch always trying to be JLO and SHAKIRA i guess i was right. it’s so obvious i’m sure it would have been crazier if she said “i wish i was white” just watch when she goes to Rome that is what she is going to say to sell CDS. Kelly was right when she said on Wendy’s show that the bitch is never herself. always faking.

I mean it’s kind of offensive but I don’t think she meant any harm. Of course 99.999% of people are going to blow it out of proportion. I mean when I see the po-po I wish I was white j/k. But until Beyonce comes out and says “I hate being black” then I ain’t even gonna trip on it.

BLACK POWER!!!!!

This gurl is in need of some serious MEDIA TRAINING…and maybe she should learn to be BLACK AND PROUD….black is BEAUTIFUL and thank the lord up above he made me this way…..beyonce needs to go away for a good year or two, the media is over saturated with her, i mean shes maaaad sexy but damn let us miss you. I wonder wut hov is thinking regarding this hot mess….smh*

Nah, I don’t think she meant to put us down…I don’t think it was self-loathing, I think it was capitalism…She was trying to move records… She did release some sort of Spanish album and it sold only 6K copies and it’s like #105 on the charts…that’s what I heard… She was just trying to sell records and being insincere and put her foot in her mouth…
Honestly, I’m not a Beyonce fan…I think she can sing, I definitely think that, but the stuff she sings is ridiculous…it’s like Aretha Franklin singing a catalog of Britney Spears songs….that’s what Beyonce is to me…

Lol @ 90.Now we all know that Beyonce did not stay in school long enough to even think about putting that kind of grammer together.But that is how she should have said it.I mean a simple I love the Latina culture, and I’m happy that I have Latina fans would have also done good.

@ NetworKing

I feel you on what you say. She can say what ever she wants, but she does owe it to the people that paved the way for her to become who she to be true to herself and to her people that made and continue to make her what she is. The fact of the matter is she is no longer selling records, but selling herself. She is way beyond famous, why does she still feel the need to kiss ass? She has enough money to last her 3 lifetimes. There is no way for anyone to justify what she said. That was pure ignorance.

THE FOOL!!!

HERE COME THE STANS, RUBBING BEYONCE’S CL*T FOR HER.. 9 out of 10 people on here probably like Beyonce and think she is a great entertainer, but you DUMBASSES cannot make excuses for every slip up she makes!

OMG.. Y’all act like she is the SECOND COMING!! LMAO

CLEARLY she didnt mean it that way, but she still MESSED UP.. Beyonce IS NOT perfect.

*GASP* (was that blasphemy?)

well i think she indeed does want to be spanish. between the jlo and shakira jacking, how could we not know this already

@97…You mad, huh?

Let’s move forward amicably…

What’s is wrong with saying that. You people are so touche. All Beyonce is saying is that the Latina Culture is Beautiful and Jealous that she not part of that culture. Don’t take that statment literally, She is not saying that she does not like being African American.

I la’ tuh go in uh intuhmuht rum. I pain’. I lissen to Bjorkkkkkk. Remember that commercial? My friend still says “Bjorkkkk” sometimes. We thought that was hilarious! Okay, that was silly of me…Beyonce stans you can get on me for that one cause it really was uncalled for, as I’m not even mad about her comments. I know she was just trying to boost those sales… I did hear (and it doesn’t make this true) that she was “friends” with this Mexican guy… He was in jail, for something… told someone I knew who told me that they were “special friends”…. Maybe that’s what she means when she says she grew up around Latinos. lol

OMG, people! Isn’t it obvious? It is simply a STATEMENT made in response to how her Latino fans have welcomed her not only in general, but also in the radio promos she did that day. So get over it and realize that you are not and will not ever be B, therefore judging/ ridiculing/ or hating her for this over-enjoyment for her Latino fans isn’t sexy… so in the words of Pinky “Get it together, baby!” SMOOCHES**

I know some people who have trouble expressing their thoughts, opinions or feelings due to a lack of schooling or poor education by some of the schools that they have attended so on that note I can understand a person using words of out context. However, I think Beyonce knew exactly what she was saying and while many deem her as an airhead I believe she said what many black women feel which is both sad and unbelievable at this point in history. What I found most amazing about these comments was that Beyonce has the physical features that many darker skinned black women think is “beautiful ” yet she still would rather be something other than what she is. If I was a person from another nation and came to this country as a visitor and looked at magazines, billboard ads and television I would think that there was only one color that is seen as beautiful and flawless and for that society plays a big part in the imbalance. However, we as people must not define what is “beautiful” based on others perceptions. This task may be difficult because not everyone has high self esteem but if something is not done to make each individual who feels as though they are less than another person based solely on the color of their skin or shape of their bodies we will continue with an endless cycle of self hate and self loathing.

Arlene, how hard would it have been just to say that? Theres something very wrong with what she said, and theres something very wrong with people thinking thats ok. Everyone knows she didnt mean it that way, but why did she say it at all. Was really too hard to just say I love the latin culture, thanks for accepting me?

And, please, people of Mexican descent on this site, please don’t think I mean that her being “special friends” with a Mexican guy is in anyway bad or inappropriate… The only thing shocking about it was he was a “thug” I guess, as he was in jail. He did, I heard, say they were “friends” so I don’t think that meant he was screwing her lol I do think it’s funny though that she said she grew up around Latinos in Texas because she knows the population in Texas is massive… She made that up, as sure as I’m sitting here…lol As for mentioning Selena, she’s wrong for that… She’ll say anything….

am sure she did’nt mean it, but she could have find a better way to say that!….forgive her am sure shes killing herself for saying all that now…one thing though why blast other radios….aren’t u business woman who cares if they are rude as far as they play ur song…..i hope she did not mention any name in particular if not um mm thats gonna be ugly.

Simple! My take is that this woman has very little in the way of intelligence, and was caught off guard in an interview yet again.
She cannot articulate or process any meaningful thought on her own, which is why she comes off as dumb during interviews.
The reason she said this foolywang shyt is because she chose to stray away from her normal scripted replies (like the “I can’t cook” shyt that she runs).
Stick to the script next time, Beyonce or go read a book!

Exactly # 90 & #95. She is not intelligent or articulate enough to compose that kind of response. It’s also extremely disappointing that proclaimed ‘hottest chick in the game’ has absolutely no brain.

Angel is a master of matching a photo with a post. I swear this is why this site is so popular. I don’t care what anyone says, that photo was the perfect photo for this post!!

My take on the comment? Beyonce is just ignorant. She can’t help it. Her mama and daddy pimped her since she was young and now she is a 26 year old ignoramus. Go figure.

I l’ak tuh pain’ I lissen tuh Bjorkkkkkuhhh.
I’m going to do that randomly…just go on with the topic…It will be much needed comic relief or either maniacally infuriating. Either way, I l’ak tuh pain’ I lissen tuh Bjorkkkkkkkuhhh.

Beyaki, Beyaki, Beyaki…….. just stick to flangin’ her lacefront around, helping Mama Tina prepare those rootboxes, and keepin LaTavia and nem in check in that wig crypt………. or better yet…… just go play in the corner……. good girl!

Nickey, have you not use the word Jealous especially when talking to your girfriends about something that you are passionate about. I guess its not how Beyonce said it but how it was perceived by others, like you. As I said before I am not going to take her statement literally, she is embracing a culture. That’s what happen when people do not use the English language correctly and therefore do not know how to construct sentences well.

I don’t see the controversy or debate. She was just trying to be nice. Everything Beyonce says doesn’t need analyzed. It is so ridiculous. Get over it!

You’re Beyonce!

i find it weird for beyonce to say she has cuban friends. someone posted about that. it’s like a white person saying, i have a black friend. that’s just funny. and not as HAHA funny

Nickey, have you not use the word Jealous before especially when talking to your girlfriends about something that you are passionate about? As I said before I am not going to take that statement literally. She was embracing the latin culture. I guess it is not what Beyonce said that was wrong but how others like yourself perceived it to be. If the black community use the English language and construct sentences well we will not always ready to redicule someone of what was said but understand what is being said.

OK Ignorants..

Beyounce is a bonnified TOOL as we all know!

#1 Latina is not a culture, it is an ethnicity!!

#2 There is different “Latin Cultures” because it is different cultures in Latin America. So you can be from Trinidad, Brazil, Mexico or Argentina.. And yes…. Africa has a big contribution is all of those cultures..

Beyounce is an uneducated ditz! We are all part of that culture because when our ancestors came on ships, they were divided among the colonies..

And by the way, Hispanic is technically people from Dominican republic and Haiti. There was a time when Hispanola was one island until the French ruled Haiti (not for long) and the Spaniard D.R.

Please people, stop the ignorance and read a book from a reliable source!!

Africans are responsible for all of the major dances and music of the Western hemisphere..
Tango, Rhumba, Salsa, meringue, Zuk, Calypso, Reggae, Soca, Kaiso, Samba, Steelpan, drumming, Rap, R&B, ROCK n ROLL, Jazz, Soul, Hip Hop, The Shango culture, etc..

Ignorance is killing our minds!!

Beyounce needs to learn to speak and not sound like a 5 year old. I just think she is the dumbest black woman I have come across that is in the media, just right after KeKe “Pointy Nose” Wyatt!.

what did keke wyatt do? someone mentioned that earlier in the thread. She made racist statements?

@ #113,

THERE IS NO CONTROVERSY, BEYOUNCE JUST ALWAYS SOUNDS SLOW!!

THIS GIRL HAS REALLY POOR SKILLS WHEN IT COMES TO PUBLIC SPEAKING!

#76…whats wrong with the world 2day is that people cant read!!!I never said she owed the Black race anything.She owes herself something tho.She should love who she is and be proud of it.I wonder if youd be singing a different tune if Beyonce wouldve said I wish I were born white.hmmmmmmm,yea no matter what race she said that WASNT black makes her look desperate and confused.She needs 2 get it 2gether and so do you 4 thinkin its ok to wish you were somethin that you ARENT!And just incase you 4got…this is a muthafuckin opinion site!I had an opinion and I posted it…get the fuck over it and dont call me out just cuz u disagreed.State your opinion and move the fuck on!

Beyonce spells her name like this:

B-E-E-Y-O-N-S-A-Y-E N-O-L-S

@71

Yes, but that’s a phenomenon that will continue because black people, like you said, aspire to be like white people. That’s why I always say that blacks look at the white man as god. All I mean when I say that is that they want to live, breathe, and think in his image. When black people say that they want to be “equal” to whites, all that could possibly mean is that they want to be the white man or be accepted by him because according to the Constitution, black people are already “equal”. Allegedly. Black people are too double-minded. They don’t know what they want so they never get what they need. Your two comments are the perfect example. You went from, in post 71, noticing something that is peculiar to our race and is the absolute truth. Then in post 76 it was like the Americanized mind-control kicked back in, lol. If color doesn’t matter and lineage doesn’t matter, then why do you notice that your black co-workers are more talkative with the white man? It shouldn’t matter to you. Either you see an issue or you don’t. Be consistent. I mean brother, honestly, those two posts were so contradictory and hypocritical, it looked like they were written by two different people.

I think Beyonce just meant to be complimentary to the hispanics and just went a little too far because she’s not really articulate enough to speak tactfully and know how far is too far. It was also probably a Freudian slip because the hispanics are far more supportive of their stars than black people, especially some black women, are of Beyonce. I’ve never heard hispanics speak about Jennifer Lopez like some black women speak about Beyonce. I think because black people are so gifted as a race that all black people feel like they could be where certain black celebrities are, had they gotten certain breaks.

lol@ all comments well its fun to read all ya’all comment H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S…wait why do people care wat she wish she was?…for all i care she can wish to be a cow…rock…guy..besides she BEYONCE,,,,am sure shes happy to be a strong.. rich..successful….illiterate…. black woman..dont u think??

76…whats wrong with the world 2day is that people cant read!!!I never said she owed the Black race anything.She owes herself something tho.She should love who she is and be proud of it.I wonder if youd be singing a different tune if Beyonce wouldve said I wish I were born white.hmmmmmmm,yea no matter what race she said that WASNT black makes her look desperate and confused.She needs 2 get it 2gether and so do you 4 thinkin its ok to wish you were somethin that you ARENT!And just incase you 4got…this is a muthafuckin opinion site!I had an opinion and I posted it…get the fuck over it and dont call me out just cuz u disagreed.State your opinion and move the fuck on!
——————————————

*thumbs-up*

Really who cares? She doesn’t pay my rent, pay my ccards and is certainly not paying my tuition so why in the world would I care if Beyonce self hates on herself. Beyonce is certainly not the first and will not be the last and most definitely does not represent me.

I feel you 42: Black folks do everything they can to highlight that they have good hair, straight hair, light eyes and light skin yet wanna go around and highlight some else who is not proud to be who they are.

If you don’t like what she is saying don’t buy her product, don’t buy her clothes or her perfume. Keep it simple and keep it moving.

This is just the same inferiority complex shared by some of our most illustrious entertainers - Halle Berry, Wesley Snipes, The Jacksons, Taye Diggs … The list is endless. The fact is, these celebrities don’t know what weight their comments carry with ‘others’ that aren’t black. I have defended and held Beyonce in high esteem based on her work but this kind of thoughtless, shorted sighted comment exposes her for what she is, a tree without roots. Her hurtful disregard of her ancestral heritage is a sad reminder that although long abolished, slavery still haunts us. My wish is our black entertainers, athletes or any other profession with some sort of repute would carefully consider their words before opening theirs mouths. Basically keep their insecurities to themselves!!!!

People keep saying how much they support the woman, well why didn’t they buy that cd???? Because I heard they didn’t?????

Dang..I’ve never seen the stans so quite! Beyonce must have went too far!! BTW, I wonder what race Sasha is, her “sassy” (assumingly latina) alter ego..cause of course “black ass” beyonce can’t be sexy on stage, she has to transform into a cultured & sexy latina..

Leave Beyonce alone! She meant no harm. People always trying to look for the worst in her. But she is in God’s Favor. This why she’s so successful! People who are greatly successful catch hell, but all you haters are doing is making her more famous and powerful. She just an awsome Celebrity, this to all you haters! Kick Rocks!!!

#119 “THANK AFRICA” said:

“THERE IS NO CONTROVERSY, BEYOUNCE JUST ALWAYS SOUNDS SLOW!!

THIS GIRL HAS REALLY POOR SKILLS WHEN IT COMES TO PUBLIC SPEAKING”!

LMAOOOOO!!!!! Thank you! That’s what it all comes down to. I don’t expect anything else from her but this…. Now had she started explaining the LAW of GRAVITY, then I would have been surprised. What makes me laugh at this post is her few STANS salt and peppered throughout this forum calling some of these people “Haters” for stating the obvious. Hell, even a casual fan, such as myself can say the girl isn’t exactly a scholar. I am also not blind to the fact that BEYONCE is a tad bit OVERRATED in all departments, and has been able to make her money off of being such. Can’t knock the hustle, continue fooling them Beyonce!!

On a side note: I pray that BEYONCE never falls off because her STANS will have a MASS SUICIDE on the Knowles front porch. Poor things. Get some self esteem for yourselves, and quit trying to live through that girl, she’s not worried about you, nor should she be worried about anyone else. If people are making their own money and are fly their d@mn selfs (and are not trying to be entertainers) then why the hell would they be jelous of Beyonce? Exactly. Please do what Beyonce needs to do and think before you speak. It would make things so much easier for you. You being mad isn’t going to stop people from judging so get over it already….. I wish people were this passionate about JENA 6, go figure…

My only problem with this is that she’s a public personality and thousands of young black girls are following her, I hope they won’t wish they looked hispanic too thinking she litterally wished she looked like Eva Longoria (it’s worse if the parents don’t even know they read that, they won’t be able to explain). There’s already enough self-hate in the community. Lord help us.

I really think she is an airhead sometimes…I agree that she truly needs some classes in public speaking because she’s about 2 steps away from being the next jessica simpson. She could’ve simply complimented about how great the culture is by pointing out some of the key things that culture has….but then again she doesn’t know anything shes too worried about kissin butt to sell records…the only thing she hasn’t done to sell records is sell her soul, yet…..im not hate i wish her the best…she needs some classes

FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SEE THE WHOLE PETA INCIDENT AGAIN

What the fuck is wrong with her in this video?????????????

spell check: *jealous* :)…. Ooops, almost pulled a “BEYONCE”. LMAOOO!! I’m just playin’.

Forget Beyonce..After Britney shuts down the VMAs this sunday, Beyonce will be put out of business for a good five to six months..good riddens! peace out Beyaki!

1. Lol @ rootboxes!

2. Poor Beyonce, she’s about to get roasted like a pig on a stick over an open fire.

Forget Beyonce, after Britney shuts down the VMAs come this sunday, this tard will be put out of business for a good seven to eight months..good riddens..peace out beyonka!

BEYONCE WAS JUST SHOWING SOME LOVE. LATINO IS A CULTURE NOT A RACE AND ONLY PEOPLE WHO FLUNKED SOCIAL STUDIES CLASS WOULD BECOME OFFENDED BY BEYONCE’S STATEMENT. IF BEYONCE SAID THAT SHE WISHED THAT SHE WAS WHITE, NOW THAT WOULD BE A CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENT.

Rantings of a Stan in chipmunk voice:

Back off you fucking haters! Why can’t you dumbass bitches see that Beyonce was just paying a simple compliment to the Latino community! She’s always got shit talked about her, man I hate this fucking site I wish you’d all just kick rocks like the haters you are, fucking bitches, haters! HATERS! You guys just can’t see that we love Beyonce and need her in order to stabilize our own worthless lives, so just leave her the fuck alone and let her shine. You haters aren’t worth shit; she’s laughing all the way to the bank while you analyze this bull and you think you’re bringing her down, but you aren’t, haters, HATERS!!! All of you kick rocks hoes! So the fuck what if she sounds a little less than intelligent in the interview, she’s not a fucking rocket scientist, so she doesn’t have to sound smart, and everyone that thinks she should are just HATERS! Now fuck off you haters, fucking hater ass haters, drink some haterade bitches, hatin’ haterlicious haters!!!

Lmfao

It’s not that serious, she just loves the culture and she paid them a compliment. Besides, Africans are a part of Latin culture, so be easy.

Honestly, I hope this goes no further than here (I say this as I keep coming back to this window lol) because I am glad for the bit of Beyonce break we’ve gotten…She embarrasses me, not her, but our “Beyonce fever” It’s different to lust after her (as many lust after Pamela Anderson and Jessica Simpson) but we take it further…it’s worship, really, it is. I remember hearing, black people “won’t break rank.” Remember Bill Maher said that? About black women not saying rappers (gangster, I guess) were misogynists and harmful to the culture?? And, someone told me that although Justice Thomas is opposed, ideologically, on nearly every issue, we support him fervently because “he is black.” I AM NOT, in any way saying we should not feel a sense of connectedness…but there is a point when it seems blind, foolish. And, that’s the way it is with Beyonce and black people…

I don’t see the big deal. She wants to get in good with the Latinos. So, what? It’s not like she said..she wished she was white. People are too dramatic.

People are just making entirely too much out of the comment. Of course the girl is proud of her African American Heritage. She was just saying in a nut-shell that the hispanice culture embraced her with much love minus the negativity. In other words she wished that her own race and ethnic back ground would do the same minus the negativity and the drama.

OK for the people that don’t understand history..

Here is the problem with Bouncy’s comments:

Black women are at the bottom of the dating chain in this country. We are constantly portrayed as loud, not attractive, ignorant and classless in the media, especially when we are stereotyped by black men in the media (Taye, Wesley, Charles Barkley).

The next thing is that LATINA MAGAZINE doesn’t showcase a variety of Latinas. We tend to see the ones that have more white features, that you would never know that there are a variety of Latin looks. Let’s just say that the darkest we see is Rosario and even she has complex issues. Anyone seen the Spanish Novelas?

NOw this is why Bouncy’s comments are dangerous. You have young girls bombarded with images of what beauty is (WHITE or almost WHITE looking), then you have this idiot saying she is jealous she wasn’t born Latina. Most people think all Latinas look like Daisy fuentes or Jessica “I am not Latina”Herpes-Alba! So these girls will automatically associate beauty + Bouncy’s comments + The few Latina’s in the media.. I know it sounds crazy, but it is so true..

These comments are just going to add to the mounting issues black females face!
Bouncy can praise the Latin community without sounding like an idiot!

#144 about the “loud, classless” thing…Beyonce said it too…As I earlier replied, she said, in that Larry King Live interview with Star Jones, “people didn’t gravitate toward my character because she wasn’t a stereotype. She was classy and understated.” Now what is that, if not perpetuating stereotypes? She thinks it isn’t, but it is…because saying that we did not respond to her character’s classiness makes it seems as though that representation is surreal, farfetched… So, what is that really saying? ?????

Somebdy made a comment about afrcan amrcans buy Bs cds stop lyin we dont supprt 1 anothr bcause we bi bootleg she didnt mean anythng by what she said busines is busines

Okay, I gotta go but I’ll be back tomorrow, during the MTV Awards, when there’s dialogue complete with pics from her kitschy surprise appearance during Jay Z’s set.

Beyoncita

lets call her that maybe she will feel half latina

*sigh*…you’re exactly right.If you’re going to be as successful as she is you have to learn how to give an interview without putting your foot in your mouth at every turn.

Hey ya’ll, I’m new to this site and happy to join you nice individuals! Funny how my very first post is on miss Beyonce. Hmm, It’s a bit foul for homegirl to say that and I think the chicks needs to take some major classes on public speaking. I mean, even I know you don’t say some stuff like that and know it will get back to the states. Someone of her stature has been trained and taught how to speak and give interviews, but apparently, B missed a few classes. I don’t know, she is still gets brownie points for her business savy and making herself a huge brand, but girly can’t speak in public no more! You all take care and have a good night, I holla!
