lol @ 301

@ 305 um I’m close to many latinos too but I wouldn’t dare say what she did….I feel very much apart of my Cuban friend’s family….sh-t I almost married her brother. But I’ve never said damn I’m jealous of ya’ll I wanna be Cuban or Latino….cut the crap. You think the hispanic community sticks together all the time…..there are just as much issues in the hispanic culture and division there just like the black American communities….it’s not like it’s all love over there either come on. I have good “faith” most of us wouldn’t have said anything that um….not smart.

Yells @ 319………..TELL IT TELL IT GOTDAMNIT TELL IT! lol And again @ 344 *gives applause*

Nods @ 355 in agreeacne

@ La Negra um ….. girl do not even get it twisted…….HATE ON WHAT….how dumb and ignorant her comment was YEAH MAYBE. You’re half black and Spanish that’s great. See this is what I mean this gives some hispanic people more reason to think they are the best things walking and that Beyonce’ didn’t help because I mean see she wants to be one (Latina). How the heck can you even say that NO ONE hates ya’ll as much as blacks…..you’re mind is all messed up because YOU know who hates US (black American AND latinos) more here in this country?! White people…..get it right NENA. I don’t know any blacks (including myself) hating on latinos…..and what in your opinion are black people hating on. You’re half black American so………..is your black American family hating on your latino side of the family? I couldn’t care if she wanted to be Latina (she didn’t say Spanish….Spanish people are from Spain)….but her statement was nothing short of real ignorant.

I agree with # 43 Tho

I cant believe her she said that shit, Im DominicanRep & AfricanAmerican…. to me Im still BLACK! …wtf …DID SHE EVER THINK WHERE THE CULTURE OF LATINOS COME FROM…DO SHE EVER LISTEN TO THE DRUMS AND CERTAIN BEATS….EXAMPLE.(SHAKIRA USES ALOT OF AFRICAN BEATS)…WHICH IS BEAUTIFUL….
SHE EXPRESSES HER LOVE FOR THE AFRICAN CULTURE, BUT U DONT SEE OR HEAR HER SAYING.. “OH I WANT TO BE BLACK”!!!….

IM SORRY BUT IM DONE WITH THAT YOUNG LADY (B-DAY)…MY BACK IS OFFICALLY TURN ON HER ASS, NOTHING IS WRONG WITH BEING A BEAUTIFUL BLACK QUEEN, …BITCH!

..sorry im upset

BEYONCE’S AN IDIOT!!! SHE DOESN’T REALIZE THAT IF SHE WERE’NT BLACK, SHE WOULDN’T BE NEARLY AS SOULFUL, CREATIVE , RHYTMIC, TALENTED AND SUCCESSFUL AS SHE IS. HELL, I DOUBT IF SHE’D EVEN BE FAMOUS!!!!!

I forgot one thing” I WISH SHE STOP SAYING SHE’S DAMN CREOLE”…WHAT PART OF NEW ORLEANS SHE WAS BORN IN …ACTING LIKE SHES FROM HERE… I’LL TELL YOU WHAT.. “SHES mix WITH CONFUSE & ILLITERATE…THATS HER DAMN RACE!..ACTING LIKE SHE FROM THE 3RD OR 7TH WARD PROJECTS!”…
FUCK!.

SORRY!…i’m still upset

OOPS, I FORGOT TO PUT THE “H” IN RHYTHMIC. I KNOW HOW TO SPELL DAMN IT!!

[...] “I wish I was Latina” comment was bloody dumb, but I don’t think she actually meant it. I reckon she is just trying [...]

She appears to have commonsense, but when she opens that damn mouth of hers….the stupidity flies!! Why Beyonce?? (O.o)?? Every time this broad opens her mouth she disappoint me……Damn you Beyonce!! I’m OFFICIALLY NOT AN BEYONCE FAN ANY MORE!!! This is it! ! My happy to be nappy black ass is leaving the building…..Happy Trails!

As far as Im concerned….B Knowles has been a poor example of what the Woman and more importantly what the BLACK woman represents for sometime now. With every revealing piece of clothing she wears or EVERY time she shakes her ass for cash, she compromises her religon and christianity…so it is NO SURPRISE that she has compromised her race….

its the most tragic thing Ive EVER encountered..

I agree her words didn’t come out right but damn. She has sooooo many young black females looking up to her, and that comment was a disservice. Hopefully she was misquoted and this never happened (totally possible).

WoW!! The only people that are STUPID are the people leaving these dumb a** comments hating on B. That was her point…. The Latino culture is totally different. There is far more LOVE and a lot less HATE and she simply pointed that fact out. I wish WE had more love in our culture too so I don’t have to sit and read dumb sh*t like this when a sister was being empathetic to another culture. We could probably learn something from other cultures if we took the time to observe. Black people are wonderful, and our struggle alone proves that. But WE sure don’t have it all together and a culture that has men RESPECTING their woman and FAMILY values being of high importance, makes me a little jealous I’m not a part of that, as well. Instead of being defensive–just look around– it obvious.

And by the way…. she used Latina correctly because she was referring to herself, and she is a female the last I checked…so who is stupid??? The sentence afterwards where she used the word Latino describes her reference to the whole culture.

Oh Hell No! I hope her words were taken out of context Dang I miss concreteloop but too bad the hospital room does not have a spare computer. I took advantage of this moment

IN MY OP IT’S NOT THAT D%MN SERIOUS. AS FAR AS HER TAKING CLASSES IN PROPER SPEAKING IT SOUNDS LIKE THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK AND THE MAJORITY OF THE READERS WHO POST COMMENTS CAN’T WRITE WORTH A D%MN THEMSELVES. WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP. THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES THAN PLAYA HATIN’.

I haven’t read any of the posts since it was only 4 pages, but i have another question.

WHAT IS THIS KIDNAPPING THING ABOUT? NOW SOMEONE WANTS TO KIDNAP HER ASS? I HEARD IT ON THE RADIO AND READ IT ON MEDIA TAKEOUT…WHAT THE HELL IS REALLY GOIN ON?

You people keep on saying Beyonce was ass kissing when I really think she was disrespecting her own race. She loves the Latina culture and like I’ve said before on this blog, we blacks do not have our black culture anymore! Especially African Americans. Black men always think Latina women are beautiful and sexy and think black women are ghetto, dark skinned, fat, sloppy, and ghetto! It’s a damn shame. Beyonce is just fake and tries to appeal to her own audience by having catchy ghetto lyrics when she know damn well she don’t know anything about being ghetto.

She’s always appealed to the white audience because she has light skin and fake ass long blond weave. She sometimes looks like she’s half white. I’m was offended by this comment because it’s a shame that she didn’t go to a different country talking about how proud she is to be a black or African American woman succeeding worldwide. ON MTV Tres when they asked her how she felt about being a non-latina on the cove rof some magazine, she kept saying that it was good to cover a magazine being a NON LATINA! She should’ve said I’m proud to be the first A.American women on this magazine and representing for my people. latina’s say that shit over here all the time.

this doesnt suprise me….

ever since i heard that creole song - i knew she was an ignorant fool…

I’m a big fan of B but damn what she think only Latinos read that magazine gurl you really need to think before you talk but a fan always. :- }

*sigh* Oh Bey, don’t u kno everything that u say circulates??? Even if there was a chance that it wouldn’t have gotten out, why would u say some stupid ish like this???? Ah man, it wasn’t enuff for u to wear the hell outta ur lace fronts like the shit was actually growing out ya scalp, now u went ahead and made everyone speculate that u hate being blk *cuz u kno they gonna flip it and turn it every which way*……. What happened the love for ur Creole background lol?

Aren’t they supposed to give celebs media training? Shit, make it like school and make that a requirement. If I had to sit thru some math in hs that I didn’t wanna take, then they need to sit thru that some kind of act right in front of cameras/mics/etc. class..

dueces:)

Beyonce is just fake and tries to appeal to her own audience by having catchy ghetto lyrics when she know damn well she don’t know anything about being ghetto.

Yeah, I always wonder why she never got called out on this. As for the Latina comment, it was stupid to say but I’m not really surprised she said it.

Beyonce do us a favor. Don’t speak. Just close your mouth and smile. As far as me supporting her ever again….NOT!! If you are not happy to be BLACK and PROUD you need to re-evaluate yourself. Be grateful for what God made you. By the way, you are one of the dumbest mofo I have ever seen in my life. You have been in the industry too long to not know how to conduct interviews. SMH All that money, fame and beauty but no brains.

First and foremost, Cha Cha, Salsa, and Rhumba have Afro Cuban roots. Samba has African roots that came to Brazil by way of the African descendents there. So there is an very strong African influence dominating much of the Latino music industry even to this day. We as Black Americans need to watch less TV and read more on our world history so messages from the media cannot catch us off guard. We need to know where we as African descendents have roots, power, and influence so we can build on that. We especially need to greatly esteem our Black Inventors, Doctors, Certified Public Accountants, Entrepreneurs, etc. We esteem our Entertainers more than other successful Black men and women who are highly educated with degrees. We need to value a college education more so for reasons such as these. Education is vital, not optional.

ass kissing its sad but it makes her look wrong ull think that chick with her blond weave and shit trying to something else but hey…

You know I was just thinking about the Dixie Chicks and how, after they made those comments about being ashamed of our President, people stopped buying their records. Sure, they had a comeback and won 5 Grammy awards and they should have, their expressed opinion was of a political nature, it was about human lives and therefore meaningful BUT I’ll be curious to see how offended some of you are. Hey, I’m not throwing darts, I wasn’t offended because I know that 1. she’s an idiot and 2. she’s an capitalist. But, I’ll be interested to see how offended you are when her next CD drops… Really… Just curious….

*a capitalist lol

I’m a career African American soldier who has been all over the world. Latinas ARE the most beautiful women on earth. I speak from experience. Hell not even White women can compete with them. Beyonce was just being honest with herself. She has great taste! Can’t blame her. Hell she looks Latina already. Why my people do you think she is so popular. Do you think she would be as popular if she looked like that fat hog Jennifer Hudson or Fantasia? Hell no!!!!

400 Ameican Soldier, HEY U UNCLE TOM, STFU. WHY DONT U GO BACK TO SERVING YOUR WHITE WHORES IN THE FIELD AND IN THEIR MANSIONS LIKE THE SLAVE YOU ARE?

You guys are some of the most ignorant people. I am going to need you guys to know that she’s NOT dissing her race!

There are such things as Black Latinas!

Latina does NOT = non black, non white, or non…whatever else.

There are a many mixture of different races in these Latin American countries i.e. (Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Honduras, Guatemala, Panama, etc..) There are Blacks, whites, mulattoes, even Asians JUST LIKE HERE IN AMERICA! You guys seem to be oblivious to the fact. These countries are not bound to just ONE RACE you dumb asses!

Just like there are Black AMERICANS, there are Black PUERTO RICANS, Black BRAZILIANS, Black Dominicans, even Black MEXICANS and so on and so forth…

You think Black people only hit North America, Jamaica, and Haiti?

Read a book niggas!

Hell, if you are more than 16 years of age and you haven’t experienced a bit of a culture shock especially THIS DAY AND AGE WHEN ITS ENCOURAGED?!, Then You’re just an uneducated, narrow minded, dumb ass Muhfonka!

Its not like she’s saying “I wish I wasn’t Black.” Its more like saying I wish I was born a Dominican, Honduran, Brazilian etc… rather than an “American.” get it? She’s talking “culturally”. Culturally yes, Latin cultures seem to be more loving and open. They don’t look at race as much as we do here. Americans only seem to tear each other apart!

That’s whats wrong with The States…too segregated!

* Black Slaves I mean…hit North America, Jamaica, and Haiti?

well yeah its obvious that shes going through something deep, but no one should put her down cuz shes the product of the most deadly poison thats affecting the black communtiy, which is colorism. Really Beyonce naturally is proud to be black and has spent half of her life trying to be accepted by the black community or valued and shes constantly underated. and think about the experiences shes had dealt with black women, im a light skinned woman who looks like a cross between ashanti n bey and from ecperience ive been treated horrible for no reason by black woman no offense but they can be harsh now thats doesnt mean disown your race but why would she wanna consider herself a black woman when everything shes remembered since childhood bein associated with bein black, or a black women has caused her to represent something that she doesnt want embodied in her image. latinas seem to more elegant and sensual, and come off strong and bold without being hateful and maybe this is how she sees them. Who knows, maybe shes attracted to them lol! my point is i dont think she feels supported by the black community. i feel the same black folks can be so harsh and coldblooded to fair skinned people cuz they think we got it easy or think we better. we dont think we betta cuz we look good we jus see how ugly black people are inside and so who would be proud of that ?? yeah black folks are gorgeous but they are all f*cked up

black is not a race. most so called blacks have brown skin. i’m not african and i have brown skin. so am i black, hell no. africa is a continent not a country.theres white africans,chinese africans,arab africans.and if you talk about so called blacks in the united states who have brown skin.so why are there called blacks.and the so called blacks are not even pure because of slaves having babies with owners and also intermarriage.why you think most have brown skin and have white features.one drop rule is a joke.you all are mulattos plain and simple..you cant deny you have european in you.

WHY ARE YOU BLACK PEOPLE SO SURPRISE! YOU’VE SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT COMING SINCE “CRAZY IN LOVE” WHEN BEYONCE WAS COPYING J LO THEN AND STILL EVER SINCE. WHY DO YOU THINK BEYONCE’S COMPARED TO LATINA ARTIST ONLY, BECAUSE THAT’S WHO SHE’S TRYING TO IMIITATE. YOU KNOW WHAT THE SADDEST THING ABOUIT THIS WHOLE SITUATION THOUGH IS THAT A BLACK MEN TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY REASON WHY BLAKC MEN ARE SO OBSESSED WTIH BEYONCE IS BECAUSE SHE LOOKS SPANISH. AIN’T SHE BLACK THOUGH, DAMN WHAT A SHAME.
