That was just classic Beyonce on her grind. I don’t think it was meant to be offensive to black people but Latino people love to be adored and she knows that and was just telling them what they want to hear to get them albums moving.

@220
Yeah, I’m at my computer, just sitting as I have no access to any sort of technology that facilitates my coming online any other way. In fact, I am not even using an internet provider, but relying on bolts of electricity, funneled from the sky to my “computer” was it? Yeah, that was it… See that? That wasn’t an ellipsis, but my hand getting stuck on the key during a spasm (i.e. electric shock) brought on by a break in my connection.

What everyone fails to realize is that just because everyon else thinks Beyonce is beautiful and just because she has the money to buy things we could only dream of, does not mean she has settle into some comfor zone in her life, taking in all the praise. In her situation and so many other like her it is curse. Everyone tells her she’s the best so in her mind she has to be better but when you really aren’t that great to begin with and people idolize you because you have essentially influenced a group of already brainwashed people, you end up crashing and burning in the end. She has already crashed. We are waiting for her to burst into flames any moment now.

people are too mean …i read some harsh mean word…its soo on call for!! common people make mistakes in wrong wayz which one is now…whore..cheap ass bitch…but hey i do agree on the statement of “funny how the *hottest chick in the game * is also the dumbest.”

I’m sorry! But I hope Beyonce reads this one. “You stupid bitch”! I hope Jay pisses on your retarded ass! Don’t get it twisted, bitch you still a nigga in the eyes of all other races. Minus the fame and fortune, you gets no play from latinos!

Now, tell B to just sit there and look pretty from now on. Enough is enough. The timing on this one is horrible. Jenna louisiana, Shaq and Shaunie, the noosed being found around campuses around the U.S., every other black male celeb selling out….Vanessa Bryant is crackin up at us! That was a gut punch to me personally! I am no longer a fan!

@207 OMG! That shit was to funny. lol

Dang, talk about keepin a sister from posting earlier!!

Others have said this, and I’ll add to this ‘debate’:

This AIN’T A SHOT AT BLACKS. SHE DOESN’T REALLY WANNA BE LATINA. SHE WAS APPRECIATING HER FANS…………….

………………..HOWEVER, AND LISTEN CAREFULLY:- BEYONCE IS NOT VERY WELL-SPOKEN AND HER COMMAND OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS LIKE A 3RD GRADER. WATCH ANY BEE INTERVIEW AND YOU WILL HEAR THE SAME DAMN SHIT EVERY GOTTDAMN TIME. SHEZUS CHRIST, THIS IS THE RESULT OF TINA AND MATTHEW-SELFISH-ASS-KNOWLES. THEY PULLED A SISTER STRAIGHT UP OUTTA HIGH SCHOOL, SO SHE COULDN’T GET HER ISH TOGETHER, SMARTNESS WISE AND HOW TO BE ELOQUENT. THEY SHOULDA KEPT HER IN SCHOOL, TILL SHE GRADUATED

I MEAN, LOOK AT WHEN AALIYAH WAS AROUND. DURING HER CAREER, SHE TOOK A BREAK TO COMPLETE HIGH-SCHOOL, AND SHE LEFT WITH A 4.0 GPA. IMPRESSIVE. CHECK BABYGIRL’S INTERVIEWS–SHE WAS SIMILAR AGE TO BEE, BUT SHE SPOKE SO MATURELY AND INTELLIGENTLY AT A YOUNG AGE.

ALSO, BRANDY, MONICA, AMERIE. THEY ALL HAVE GOOD COMMAND OF ENGLISH AND GRAMMAR.

DAMN EVEN GIRLS STRAIGHT OUTTA THE HOOD LIKE MARY J–SHE’S OLDER, BUT SHE OBVIOUSLY LEARNT HOW TO SPEAK IN A SOPHISTICATED AND INTERESTING MANNER. DIDN’T FANTASIA EVEN GET HER GED?

BEYONCE’S TALKING IS NEARLY ON THE SAME LEVEL AS JESSICA MUTHAFUCKIN SIMPSON.

LESSON: STAY IN SCHOOL, OTHERWISE GET SOME LESSONS/TRAINING IN PUBLIC SPEAKING AND ENGLISH. YOU WOULD THINK THAT B, WITH ALL HER RESOURCES, WOULD HAVE DONE THIS BY NOW.

230@ lol lol

Beyonce wishes she were born Latina so she wouldn’t have to cover her nappy-ass head with those wigs and weaves.
The wigs and weaves slow her down, she thinks. If only she had been born another race, Latina, so not only would she be beautiful, but she would be spicier and she would have a long, silky or curly mane to do with as she pleases, knocking everybody else out of the water.

This is also the same woman who thought her acting debut in Dream Girls was going to transform her life in ways she never imagined

(Pausing to ponder)

lmao You all know Beyonce is an airhead.

Thank you Tiffany!
My friends call my dad Sammy Sosa because he looks like the average AA until he opens is mouth and you cant understand a damn thing.
Comments are not as bad as I thought they would be but some of you are trippin. If you want to send Bey back to school some of you should meet her at the registrars office. Latino is not a race. She is not saying she wants to be something other than black. Yes, she is a little slow and very insecure but so are most women (insecure not slow). All this “why cant she love herself “is a bunch of shit too. Look at yourself in the mirror and say that crap with a straight face. Love the fact that you dont have long eyelashes and throw away those fake ones. Love the fact that your hair is kinky and stop putting that fire cream in your hair. Love the fact that your breasts are inverted and throw away that expensive ass Victoria Secret padded bra. I am not judging because I paid 4500 for my boobies, I’m just saying. It should make us feel good to know that the woman known as “the hottest chick in the game” is as insecure as the rest of us. Now if she would just read a book or two we could tolerate her speaking in public.

LOL@Thomian’s last conclusion…that was really funny. You are speaking truths though…Is that the way you say that? “speaking truths”??? I’m no good with cliches…

236@ lol lol

I don’t think she said it at all. People are always putting out fake quotes from her to stir some mess. This ain’t the first and it won’t be the last. She know she catches major heat for the simplest stuff so I highly doubt she would say something this big.

There has never been anything about Beyonce that says “proud” “black” “intelligent” or “strong” to me lol. So I don’t see any reason to bash her for saying she’s “jealous” she’s not latina. Her mom is running around promoting some “creole couture” fashion line & clucking to anyone who will listen about being creole lol. I mean what do u expect from her when that’s her foundation? lol

Y’all expect to much out of this girl lol She just does whatever she has to do to appeal to whomever she needs to appeal to. I’m sure she doesn’t care about latino culture, japanese culture, african culture or whatever else culture until Daddy has approved and there’s a check involved lol

I think she meant it as a compliment. Not disowning her race, come on now. People are always trying to find a reason to hate her.

Bitch Shut Up @ Thomian. You know beyonce wants to be hispanic. thats why she has a nose job and keeps the weave in 24/7. When she came out solo, she copied j.lo and shakiras style. fake broad.

some of you people are so mean… if you dont have anything nice to say dont say it at all.. have some dignity… thats what ladies were taught… i thought mature adults were on this site…. the way that alot of the negative people are speaking on here shows exactly how classless they are.. and yes “money” wont keep you out of hell but negativness wont either!!

No one ever mistook Beyonce for a genius. She only meant to say that she loves the Latin culture and appreciates all the love and support from her Latin fans. Why she doesn’t just answer with as few words as possible is beyond me. She is not the brightest bulb in the chandelier and she proves that every time she opens her mouth to do anything but sing. Let’s move on.

These comments are HILARIOUS!!!!!

*sighs* my people my people. Beyonce’ should know it don’t take much to be technically Latina if you were born in acountry with that Hispanicized culture or for her family to have descent from of those countries or w/e. I don’r like trhe hopping on the bandwagon sh-t. Being black was hot and well we see who it is right now so……….. If you wanna sing in Spanish more in the future find but try not to sound like you are jealous of another ETHNICITY and you wanna be like them so bad like being what you are isn’t good enough. -_-

I do respect that she enjoys spanish sounds and some Spanish music but no reason to butt kiss. BWAHAHA she got “schooled” by her Cuban friend…..that was especially funny mostly because one of my best friends is Cuban also….how interesting. But like oh no she didn’t realize the greatness she was working with lol. Alejandro Sanz is hot tho.

Her songs are hard enough to sing in ENGLISH/?! LOL WHAT?! Shame on her for saying that……she sounds um not too smart right there like ….. has she listened to her own music………pretty simple english there babes.

*sighs* I encounter enough Latinas and Latinos though in real life and definitely online who already think Latinos are the best thing on earth especially the women and everyone wants to be like them…..Bey didn’t h really help.

she stupid

I sent this to y’all like a week ago. Love, Miss Carmen

It (that statement0 doesn’t just wreak of weak self-hatred as Black Sista said but it smells like it’s dead and decaying ugh.

The thing about J-lo and PR’s is that omg that country is essentially almost as mulatto (mixed black and european) as Cuba…..almost (even though an extremely large amount self-report themselves as white) …………. at least 1/3 of every aspect of culture in PR is African. So yeah,,,,,,,,, but yeah thanks J–lo –_- w/e.

I meet beyonce and them a while ago when they just kicked farrah out of the group they were at a local mall near detroit. I was like 16 or 17 yrs. old. The fans were just to past dc3 and shake their hands. I did notice beyonce was exceptionally glad to give the white girls hugs and talk too them, she was basically all over the white girls and other non-black girls. When I got up on the platform first I shaked kelly’s hand and told them they are all lovely talented young ladies and Kelly smiled and was very pleasant and said thank you and I guess beyonce did not hear my complimenting them so I said Hi beyonce! can I have a hug? and she looked at me with her typical blank look in her eyes and just barely touched me. I mean I seen her hanging all over those white girls so I did not think she would mine hugging me, I was not trying to hug her in an inapproapriate way it was just a typical hug like you would hug your friend. I was just like wow! maybe she’s into white girls. The point I am triying to make is sometimes people act a different way to make people that would typically not like them to like them. I think she was just kissing ass so more non-black people would by her albums,since she knows she already has a black fan base, she wants to make sure her non-black fan base is large, so she can make even more money. I do not them she is as dumb as people think.

She needs to stick to saying, “I’m honored.” “It was amazing. It was so beautiful.” “I feel so blessed.” “I was humbled” and “It was crazy.” When she steps out of saying those, she ends up saying something ignorant.

43 I agree and understand but maybe Ms. Bey don’t know it lol.

I haven’t liked this Beweaved broad since the original members of Destiny’s child got dismantled. I’m not even suprised she’d want to be Latina. The bish is damn near white…and oh sooo annoying!!Besides her family worships everything ‘creole”… I wish she’d get shipped off to some remote island where she can continue her psycho 3rd grade babble to the birds. We need a break from this brainless dimwit. Jeezz I wish Babygirl wa still alive.

Maybe because it’s been us who have been the main ones hating on her since that ancient Latavia/Letoya mess. Hello people! And you alls comments are proving that!

@ 46 um Julissa is DR……pretty much ’nuff said because most are AT LEAST half black.

And plz Rosci has black blood in her.

She says she has a Spanish BEST FRIEND?
She said: “I told one of my best friends, she’s Cuban, that I was working with him. And, she was like, “You’re lying!”

Does she mean Jay-z’s best friends that she vacations with? Cause last time I checked, none of her “3 best friends” (as she referred to Solange, Kelly and Michelle) was Spanish.

I love Bey!! I cant knock her for getting some brownie points from the latinas. This girl making MONEY and thats all that matters. Keep climbing that ladder girl!! Yall just dont understand business is business. Nationwide is a hard thing to maintain…you gotta give love and recieve love from all races and all ages.

She says she took Spanish in Middle School. Is this as far as she went in education? Cause her interviews surely suggest so. Her ignorance caught up to her. Stay in school, folks!

bey could never be latino in her wildess dream because latinos are very smart and the women make sure they dont wear nappy lace fronts lololol her ass needs to go and git that high school diploma wiff her home schooled ass……… i have nuthin against home schooling but being home schooled by tacky ass tina,,,,,, then houston i have a prollum lolol ….queen of ass kissing for sure

242 said “”Bitch Shut Up @ Thomian. You know beyonce wants to be hispanic. thats why she has a nose job and keeps the weave in 24/7. When she came out solo, she copied j.lo and shakiras style. fake broad.”

LOL. Ooookay, and here I am without my hoodrat spray. Umm.. I dont know what beyonce wants. I dont know her like that but I guess you do. Please leave Jennifer out of this because Jennifer doesnt even look like Jennifer. Remember when Jennifer had black wavy hair? No? Well I do. Ever look at Shakiras roots? She is not a natural blonde booboo. Look at Mariah Careys before and after photos. None of those women invented that look so please stop talking out ya ass. And before I forget….kiss my ass you low rent, illiterate, section eight wench! Stay blessed.

@ 103 YES! I’m thinking what the HELL is wrong with about half of the people above you still takiing up for this girl……she didn’t mean it……she doesn’t speak well…..BLAH BLAH BLAH. Good post because it’s very much truthful.

LOL @ 212 saying:
Bey please be proud of who you are and stop whoring yourself for record sales… a little class goes a long way.

Chick is STUPID and INARTICULATE. Matthew Knowles knew if he just dressed her up and made her sing, people wouldn’t care. And he was right.

First she falls, then she flashes her tits to the world, I am starting to smell publicity stunt.

I’m loving this post. I have been saying that she is the dumbest b*tch for the longest time and that is why I am not a fan. Sorry, education means a lot to me, especially when one can educate themselves.

And I wish she would stop saying she wants to learn how to cook. She been saying teh same shit for the last 10 years! If you dont know, then forget about it and keep going to restaurants with Jay-z every day and night.

Last but not the least, what does she mean she has not had a real vacation since she was 13? What, those same ole same old Saint Tropez vacays are not real??? WTF! They do the same type of vacays every year. They got dough but not very creative with it.

Your honor, let me just state for the record that RIhanna Fenton gives better interviews. She stayed in school longer too.

@ 264 I wish it was a publicity stunt. She is NOT that smart. She really is THAT stupid! All 3 incidents were isolated and accidental.

“LOL at people making statements like “im SURE she didn’t,” or “she didn’t mean it that way.” Unless you are a mind reader, how do you know EXACTLY what she meant.

Sorry, i take people at their words…and she said she’s jealous she wasn’t born latina. Say what you want, but i believe her.”

*claps @ JSCENE*

Shame too to the blacks trying to minimize this. And you can appreciate your damn fans in a better way.

@ 261
Most of those taking up for her are from Beyonceworld.net. Those are some crazy, blind, stupid stans. She could kill somebody and they would take up for her saying, At least she is beautiful and she is Beyonce

Yeah, Bey was just kissing tail.

But you all know that she doesn’t know what she’s talking about half the time. So, to blow this out of proportion would be a waste of your energy.

I just hate it for the little black girls that look up to her, they may get the message that their own culture isn’t loving and enduring when thats not the case at all.

@16 LMFAO Beyoncita
ya’ know what, …. The statement just doesn’t make sense. Cheap PR gone horribly stupid. But, there’s always a little truth in everything you say.

I’ve never yet heard this girl say one negative thing about anything or anyone. I accept that her heart meant well.

Wow yeah she was kissin UP. Beyonce tries so hard to get it right..it just comes out all wrong wow…

Beyonce, me permite que le haga una pregunta ?
Es usted suramericano ?
Estiende usted el espanol ?
Eso es malisimo.
No me gusta.

I totally agree. Beyonce is not the sharpest knife in the draw but you would think after being a celebrity all these years she would know how to do public speaking. It’s sad that a women of her age can’t have a conversation without sounding ignorant. You know white folks love to see us blacks folks humiliate ourselves by sounding DUMB!! poor Bey! she doesn’t know any better because her parents forced her to become a star instead of concentrating on school. It’s never too late to get an education Bey!

Wow..yall are some kinda serious about this thing huh. C’mon folks, let’s just chalk it up to a slip up. To much energy is being given to this..let’s move on. It is what it is.

Beyonce is my girl, but anyone who posts on here frequently knows my only problem with her, an inability to give an interview. She is an outstanding entertainer, model, etc. She is a product ONLY. Beyonce has the resources to better herself, and she chooses to only be a pretty product. That is my only fallout with Bee. Back in the day, Diana Ross and other entertainers were given lessons on how to enterview and ettiquette. Diana Ross even went on to meet the Queen of England. Now, with Bee’s interview skills, how would that work out. I’m saying it with much love…

Chill out! What’s the big deal? You all are constantly down grading the girl about everything she does? Sometimes I get tired of black folks! Damn! I am sure she didn’t mean anything too harmful. Stop being so serious.

Beyawnce clearly does not represent the black women by her comment. Seriously, its comical that others have excused this comment. “Oh she did not mean it”. Yes she did. Someone else posted that she is begining to be a caricature. LOL Its true!

Ya’ll are blowing this outta proportion! Big deal she said she was jealous for not being latina casue of latin rich cultures! Hispanics got rich cultures and shes just complimenting them on that.

personally i LOOOve being a black american! shame on whoever that doesn’t! Latinas aint flyer than us black woman, most of them copy us anyway. that is those that aren’t already of african decent! PS I love my full lips, prominant forehead and everything else exceptional about me and women like me. Black people wake up our culture is far richer than what MTV has picked up on and homogenized! If we would quit performing for whites and get back to what WE do noone would have time to be kissin ass. Oh and damn a PERM

Well all i can say to the people that are asking why people are making such a big deal out of this is this.

It’s a big deal cause when you proclaim to be the best…you better make sure that you really are i.e not only have looks and talent but also be INTELLIGENT!

I’m sorry but anyone can shake their ass and wear a 6 inch weave on stage…what else do you have???

Can you have a intelligent conversation, can you talk at least have some knowledge of issues that are going on in the world??

If not SHUT UP ABOUT BEING THE BEST AT EVERYTHING!!!
cause that means your ass is average or even below average in her case……

I’m not offended. I think she was trying to be nice…BUT she still sounded ignorant and I know if she had said she wish she were white, everyone single one of ya’ll would be in an uprorar. She basically said she gets more love from her Latino fans (wtf) and she wishes she were latino?? I’m not really surprised. She can get away with rockin them blonde weaves and all that ish better than any black female I know. She doesn’t need to leave the house without her mama because Lord knows the girl can’t think for herself! She’s good at shaking her ass and singing? So? Get a brain. I heard she went to HSPVA in Houston which is a SHOCKER because those kids over there are not only talented but brilliant!! Didn’t she say she dropped out or something, though? Whatever.. Bee has and never has had cool points with me. She has an amazing body and a fantasmic voice, but no. I can’t call myself a fan :S

This is what you get when you act live your perfect. People will watch you every move and comment on it.

If she came out without all the lies and acting like she was perfect it wouldn’t be such a big deal imo but her lies and lack of education seem to catch up with her.

I wonder if she actually talks to other celebrities at parties…i mean she doesn’t sound too smart and would probably have nothing to talk about aside from clothes and hair…lol

OMG!!! The hatred and harsh comments in this room are UNBELIEVEABLE.
Bee is human and we all are subjected to making errors. Give her a break she is sooo very talented and gifted including beautiful. I am glad bitterness has no place in my heart,mind and soul. At times our ppl judge so very harshly against one another it’s an embarrasement. God loves her no matter if her comment wasn’t addressed appropriately of course to yo ppl’s standards which isn’t MUCH!!!!

Oh my gosh Beyonce I love you to bits girl, but me not even being a black woman myself, I could see that was a very foolish thing to say and I still think you should of kept your mouth closed and kept that to yourself!!

Beyonce Beyonce girl….all I say is think long and proper hard before you actually want to speak, I just hoping she dont get too too much stick for it =SS Cuz shes really a nice girl and gd at what she does….so I dont think its nice these haters being THAT hard on her…

But I will always be behind tBeyonce always cuz I have just always luved her….but damn Beyonce, why did you wanna say that!!

Think long and hard before you speak, or preferably keep things to yourself…..but I still luv ya girl!!!

I’m really curious to see what Beyonce knows about “latino” culture other than rice and beans and salsa dancing. Does she know how many different cultures Latino’s have. Just like black people, Latino’s come from a number of different countries and cultures. She’s just trying to kiss ass. She is soooooooo insencere.

‘m not surprised however, she’s been morphing into J.Lo and Shakira for years. I guess the transformation is almost done. This is why when people criticize Beyonce and the stans on this site say “you should support your own people” I just laugh, because half of the time our “own people” don’t even want to be who they are! Next!

How do you say SO in spanish???

Ummm…There’s nothing wrong with her comment. I think ya exaggerating it. Would it sound better if she said she love’s and embraces the Drag Queen culture and wishes she was a drag queen.

Please get over it.

Damn I’ve said it about other cultures, I see Indian culture as a strong family unit. Every time I go over my Indian friends house, they always embrace me as if I’m a part of their family. Now does that mean I’m not proud of my culture? No. It just lets the Indians know that I have respect for their culture and strong sense of family unit.

thank goodess to num# 277, 279, 281, 287… you guys exude class… i love u guys!!!!! You all need to teach people how to represent themselves…lol!!! xoxoxoxo… now move on from this bitter people…lol.. we have bigger issues in the world… try to read up on them and stop taking shots @ people on here :)p

This is exactly what happens when you try to accomodate and satisfy everyone… She does an absolutely poor job on most interviews, because she is never just being herself.

I believe she was trying to ingratiate the latino fans, but any grown person talking about they want to be something other than what they are is just foolishness.

She probably had no ill intent, but that statement is a total disrespect to her mother and father.

As talented as she is, and as popular as she is, they really need to help her with her professional interactions and interviewing skills. I suspect they have, but when she strays from guidelines and what she’s taught is when there is always a problem.

Thats a slap in black peoples face. It’s sooo sad.

Definitely Butt-Kissing. Talked faster than her mind was processing her words. It happens….

Ooh goodness….that’s a classic case of introducing your foot to your mouth.

LOL here i think some you guys are making up an excuse for an 26 old air head ,dummy, ass kisser,and any other adjective you want to use. to say sumthin so stupid and just plain not thinking .I know that’s part of the business to show love to all who support you ,But we as a people need to stop making excuses for celebrities,people in the political arena just an average Joe who say some dumb ass shit like that it comes off as self hatred

But for me she can sell her mama draws for a hustle as much as she likes but i won’t be buying none of her products.

……..AND HATERS GET MAD CAUSE I GOT ME SOME BATHING APES LOL!!!!!!

I am a Bey-stan but, when I tried to think of something to say to defend her on this one, I came up with NOTHING. Granted she was butt-kissing, that was a HUGE ERROR. Beyonce has talent but I agree, it’s been proven, she has no clue what to say unless she is rehearsed or has mama jumping in before she can speak her own thoughts. Dang Bey, when they ask the hard questions, just start shaking and slinging your hair to distract them. Don’t speak! Still love her though!

dios mio, i shouda known that this thread would get over 200 comments.
