We’ll I be dammed!

ass-kisser never have I wanted to be another race but my own. Black

I wonder what her AA female fans think of her now?

Yeah, home girl is pretty slow. She’s been on top of the world for too damn long to not no what to say out her mouth…I knew she was dumb -_-x

I love Beyonce to death. That’s my girl, but she really need to stop lying. Yeah I think that some good butt kissing

yeah, definitely some butt-kissing. she’s been all over mtv3 (tres), which is the latino MTV. I think it’s because she just released b’day like, in spanish or something.

Angel,

I agree that Beyonce was probably doing some MAJOR “butt-kissing” when she made that statement and it just came out the wrong way. And who knows maybe she said it a different way and the magazine printed it like they wanted. Magazines have been known to “twist” celebrities words.

But I also agree with you that you can’t be this popular and not be able to give a proper interview. I like Beyonce and I think she’s a great entertainer, but she really needs to work on her communication skills. I”ve always given her the benefit of the doubt, but she needs to do better.

NOW THATS Y I DON’T LIKE HER NOW!! EVERYTIME SHE DON SUMETHIN SHE ON DA NEWS!! (SARCASIM) SHE IS SO SO SO SO SO SO SOOO OVERRATED!! AND THAT IS Y LATINOS THINK THEY BETTER THAN BLACKS!! BECAUSE BLACK FOLKS LIKE HER, GLORIFY THEIR CULTURE MORE THAN HER OWNS. THIS IS SUM BULL!!

After taking time reading this interview it proves that she’s such an air-head. Even if she didn’t mean it why sell-out to please other races? or was she showing her true colors?

Yup she was saying what she thought needed to be said to appeal to that audience. It wasn’t the right thing to say, however she meant it as a complimen. Admittedly others could see it as her not being proud of her own culture. But I guess. I don’t see it as a big deal. She’s trying to sell records.

SHE’S AN ASS-KISSER..I KNO THOSE LATINOES WAS TALKIN BOUT HER WHEN SHE LEFT SAYIN SHIT IN SPANISH LIKE “THAT BITCH LYIN MA-MIII”

Yea she might have been brown-nosing, but what do expecct from a girl who has the personality of a robot. When she doesn’t have a speech prepared, she always sounds like a dumbass. Stay in school kids..everybody can’t be a rockstar.

okay i guess the statement was more of a compliment than her actually wanting to be latina

I dont see the big deal, she was probably just being sarcastic.

We all know that Beyonce is not well spoken, this is just another example. I think she was trying to pay Hispanics a compliment and had no idea that the way this came out could offend her own culture. She needs a media spokesperson and she needs to not answer any questions until she runs it by them for a check first. With all of her resources and as long as she has been doing this, you would think she would have gotten a lot better at public speaking.

I think she should run for office…with comments like that. VOTE BEYONCE! oh my bad Beyoncita…..

Was there a thread on Keke Wyatt’s recent ourageous racial comments? They deserve some attention.

I agree 100% with M-Saw. Then people wonder why her momma is always there with her at interviews. It’s because they know they got a dumb ass daughter who is likely to say the wrong things.

I am somewhat of a fan of Beyonce. I like her old music, but I do think she is over-rated and over-worshipped. I can see this statement coming out wrong and people taking it to mean she is not proud to be black. Although I don’t think she meant it that way, it’s like come on now, you are 26 years old now…You shouldn’t be that much of a ding bat…But then again, you can’t learn common sense in school.

Who cares? I am sure she wasn’t trying to be offensive. People are making something out of nothing.

I love her to death but “What the hell”? I’m confused because I remember seeing an interview where she stated that she was a proud black woman….B must’ve been tired because it isn’t the Latinas that have made her ass rich, it’s the black is she going to wish she were white next? Like I said I’m a huge fan but she kinda pissed me off with that comment.

I don’t know about that one….Surely she just should have left it at saying she appreciates the Latin culture - maybe made some parallels between her own and the the Latino community. She bumbled it, no biggie..

Angel you a mess for putting that picture up to fan the flames!! LOL!

SMH* I mean, I’m sure she didn’t mean it to come out the way it did but wtf, how can you be so dense? No common sense, whatsoever. And I definitely co-sign w/ #12 on that, “Stay in school, kids. Everybody can’t be a rockstart” comment. That is the truth!

This doesn’t surprise. bey has always (in my opinion) been a knock off of Shakira or J. Lo in the looks department.

Not as well spoken as many make her out to be. She’s about as dingy as Paris

This is so ignorant. Why can’t we as black people, just love who we are. Stop always trying to be soemthing that you are not! S.F.B. (S— For Brains)!!!

She should know better than this by now!

*something

I don’t know what to say, I mean she feels that she has to suck up to everybody just for them to buy her music then so be it. I mean she said she loved drag queens and all that other nonsense, so this is not a suprise.

whoa bey. i wonder how she could clean up this mess. i’m a firm believer, ass kissing or not, that u ALWAYS say ur true feelings first. after that it’s just clean up bullshit.

She was definitely attempting to “butt-kiss” and it came out wrong!

It’s not a secret that beyonce isn’t really all that smart. She should have just gave a compliment without alienating her own race by saying she wish she was a latina. Dumb ass inarticulate broad.

MAYBE BEYONCE JUST HAS COMPLEX ISSUES REGARDING BEINGA BLACK WOMAN. ALTHOUGH THIS DOESN’T MAKE IT RIGHT- TRUTHFULLY, MANY WOMEN DO. FOR EXAMPLE, BEYONCE SAID, IN REPLY TO THEIR NEW VIDEO, “BEAUTIFUL LIAR”, WITH HER AND SHAKIRA- THAT SHE COULD NOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HER AND SHAKIRA ON MORE THAN ONE OCCAISION….
RIGHT.
SHAKIRA IS A 4′11 BEAUTIFUL WOMAN WITH BLONDE CURLY HAIR AND YOU ARE 5′6, PRETTY NONETHELESS, A BIT MORE GOLDEN TONED WITH HONEY BLONDE EXTENSIONS SUITABLE FOR A BALCK WOMAN.. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE…
BUT YES- AS SAID BEFORE, MANY OF US BLACK WOMEN HAVE A COMPLEX. I KNOW I HAVE MY INSECURITES, THAT’S WHY I LET MY HAIR GROW LONG PAST MY BRA STRAP AND I FEAR CUTTING IT BECAUSE “LONG HAIR ON A BLACK WOMAN COMES OFF AS APPEALING” (IN THE WORDS OF MY EX). THAT’S WHY, DOMINICAN WOMEN WILL CONTINUE TO BLOW OUT YOUR HAIR AND THEIRS, BONE STRIAGHT TO ACHIEVE A MORE ATTRACTIVE, “EUROPEAN LOOK”. MAYBE THAT’S WHY CELEBS, SUCH AS TYRA, JLO, AND KIMORA, HAVE SHAVED INCHES DOWN OFF THEIR NOSE IN ORDER TO HIGHLIGHT THE BRIDGE IN THE MIDDLE FOR A MORE, POINTY, “WHITE” PROFILE SHOT.
THEN AGAIN- MAYBE SHORTY JUST REALLY FELT LIKE SUCH A COMMENT WAS A GOOD PLOY FOR MARKETING. WHO KNOWS.

LOL @ Ms Dyme

Maybe she was just trying to kiss some butt to sell more records cuz lawd knows this last album sucked!!

*OOPS- OCCASION, AND A SPACE BETWWEN “BEING” AND “A”
ENGLISH MAJOR- I CAN’T STAND WHEN I MAKE TYPOS.

Someone always staying out of conflict shouldn’t have said that but she should start being more blunt. Let keep it real…pop, rock, and hip hop stations and magazines speak about fashion, love lives, and scandal. They all give the same interview, with the exception of Sister2Sister. I love magz but it’s the truth. She probably doesn’t get pressure to speak about Jay-Z or falling or nonsense on Latino stations. I’m not the biggest fan or against her. I couldn’t do what she does. I’d like the money but I could stand the attention and 18-24 hours of work. I’d hate every mainstream US station and magz asking the same questions or trying to trick or pressure me into answering something I didn’t want to. She wants this lifestyle and knows what comes along with it and deals with it and I think she is speaking the truth. But fans of any race will build you up to tear you down. Non-Latin Americans shouldn’t be stereotyped.

She should be wishing she’d think and then speak. Pandering is one thing but she went overboard. For all of her talent, she is perhaps the most consistently ignorant performer in recent memory. If she’d been born Latina, she wouldn’t be nearly as successful as she is now. Imbicile.

Keke is an air-head too. Her and beyonce both need some public speaking classes. They don’t know what to say without sounding ignorant or insensitive.

My Goodness…..I think she was just expressing her appreciation for being welcomed by a new audience…those weren’t the right words to use…or it could have been twisted to make it sound offensive…god the media wants to take probably what was a misuderstanding and blow it out of proportion…I’m pretty sure there was a time in everybody’s life where they said something REALLY bad or stupid and they wish they could take it back! At any age……we are human…nobody’s perfect…

If you read the rest of the interview she sounds like a child. Not a good look.

o.O

Wow I’m from Texas and why we get the dumbasses like Beyonce and Jessica Simpson? I’m so shamed. Just to set the record straight every chick outta Texas is not as stupid as these two lol.

I think the weight of her weave has caused her become even more lightheaded. At the end of the day you are what you are.

she just keeps digging her own career grave. poor child doesn’t have one bit of a clue. and y’all know what? this will have no effect on her career. it will get sweep under the rug and she will continue to sell tons of records… with or without black folks. that’s hollywood!!

She’s stupid. I am so over her.

Please, thats like a black American saying she wishes she was Jamaican. A black person from Jamaica is still black. I am latina and I am as black as they come so what is she selling out exactly? You can be a black latina. Maybe I just see it differently so someone please explain the outrage.

i dont understand the big deal…………this comment is not even a big thing…..im sure she was being sacastic…….who really gives a fuck…….people love to speculate about nothing……jus because she says she jelous shes not latino all of a sudden shes not pround of being black…i mean beyonce will neva stop b3eing talked about…..eveybody is tired of her…..but everybody wana talk about her………..jesus

Well duh she wants to be Latina…everyone knows she copied J lo all the way to wanting to be known for having a big butt…

Oh, and lets be honest… most African Americans claim to be “Indian” (Native Amer.) and many black Latinos with skin and hair like mine don’t accept being called black. We are Afro. Amer, Afro-Latino, Haitian, Caribbean, African, and many other races and ethnicities. Our moder hip-hop culture has accepted and embraced Latinos whether they are of African decent or not. This is a beautiful thing. Let’s not get on her for wanting a little Latin blood and wanting to grow up knowing the lingo and culture when our last two female hosts on a BET show were Latino of non African Decent. Our magazines report info on popular Latin stars. 4 or 5 of the women on BET’s top 25 most beautiful Black women were Latinos that weren’t black. Hey, I wouldn’t mind having Daniel Sunjata, Frankie G, Adam Rodriguez (CSI), Jorge Santiogo (UFC), or Ricardo Chavira on some of our countdown and magazines. There are beautiful people (like in any ethnicity), a beautiful language, delicious food, and a beautiful culture. The women are really accepted in hip-hop and pop and she is one of the only African Americans accepted into their culture. I can see what Beyonce would like to have experienced more of.

@2, that’s why ur not famous….

This isn’t something that shouldn’t be blown out of proportion. She was just being accomidating to the people she was around. Nothing more. But this will get slack because this is Beyonce…if it was Whoopi Goldburg or Danny Glover we’d laugh and say who gives a sh*t! haha!

I don’t think she ment it in a way of putting down her race. But more as a compliment to the latinas. But I mean, people aren’t gonna take the time and do the “well what she ment was” they’re gonna just read what she said and run with it. Nobody’ll be thinking about this in a few days, so it’s nothing. LOVE YA BEE!

Beyonce is so slow we should’ve expected this from someone who only uses elegant as a big vocabulary word i like beyoncce but come on in the article she also says that her bestfriend is cuban, now all of a sudden her best friend is cuban whateva

THAT IS JUST LIKE YOU’RE SAYING THAT YOU ARENT HAPPY WITH BEING BLACK. SHE WAS TRYING TO KISS THEM LATINAS ASS AND SHE SAID THE WRONG THING. B-DAY SUCKED MAJOR ASS AND THEM LATINAS ARE PROBABLY THE ONLY ONES WHO BOUGHT IT

Oh Lawd..Let the drama begin
(I can’t lie tho, the statement did throw me off)

She was working: her Spanish album only sold 6,000 copies and it’s at like #105 on the Spanish charts. It’s just business, people. Go Beyonce!

I’m glad to see you say that THOMIAN b/c I know dominicans and other black latinos of different ethnicities that refuse to accept being black. See # 47.

I agree with comment 48 I don’t think she ment for the comment to come as if she hates being in the rich culture of blackness, she just wanted to you know give them a compliment. I wonder if she ever heard the comment think before you speak!! There a reason for that! And yeah I think she could have said that diffently like “Latino’s have such a rich culture and I love learning about it.”I can’t wait to see what people will be saying about this

Amen #46…..I’m a black Latina and I’m proud of it! But the majority of my family thinks I’m crazy for thinking that! Yet people like the ones you spoke of are blinded by the white man’s standards of appearance….like it is the only standard! I learned civilization started in Africa….and some historians swear like it didn’t…well it did ladies and gentleman…..some people’s ancestors just left earlier than others…….lol

I think it definitely came out wrong, but I think people will believe what they want depending on what they think of her.

Of course she didn’t mean to put down her own race and that’s the sad part about it. She doesn’t think before she speaks; she was so caught up in trying to please a certain demographic of her fan base that she unintentionally and unconsciously put down her own race.

Her comment is the reason why she should think Bee 4 she speaks. I’m still a fan tho.

latina is not a race so i dont see the whole downing the black race thing. she could have said she admired it other than ” i wish i was latina”

i dont know. her statement seems like a slight attack against the black & pop radio stations…maybe she’s saying she feels more love from the Latin community because everyone else seems to stay hating. I also have to agree with Brian, because she has been doing a lot of promotion for her “Irrempezable” CD, and thats been all over MTV Tres.

All that being said, I still think that she slipped up by saying this. And I mean slipped up BIG TIME. A LOT of people (black people especially) are going to have a field day with this, simply because she made a statement that was not put together very well. She was probably excited and couldn’t get her thoughts together properly. I’ve seen her do that quite frequently in interviews. Maybe a little more media training would help with that…Personally, I’m gonna chalk it up to her being a below average speaker. If she meant what she said THE WAY SHE SAID IT, then, wow that’s a shame. But I’m pretty sure she would never say anything to intentionally spark a firestorm with her fans, her friends and her family.

Also….ROTFL @#40!!! ha ha.

Is she crazy??

Come on, ya’ll…I was being sarcastic before, but really??? Are you shocked that she misspoke? She’s an idiot…She also said people didn’t flock to her character in Dream Girls because she wasn’t a stereotype… People don’t take her seriously, or else that would have made the press as either her calling Jennifer Hudson’s character/performance a perpetuation of a stereotype OR saying that black people aren’t accustomed to “classy, understated” (her words) representations of themselves…. Cause she was definitely doing both those things, but nobody cared because nobody takes her serious… She’s an idiot with a list of adjectives (I’m not being funny, I really think she has a list of adjectives. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed adjectives are the whole of her vocabulary?????)

Speak on it Angel!

Its one thing to try and sell records, but when you become a sell out theres something wrong. Theres nothing wrong with her trying to appeal to the Spanish market, but that was a pretty ignorant comment to make even if she meant it as a compliment. Was it really that hard just to say I love the culture?

It was pretty messed up also what she said about the other radio stations. There cool when they play her records right? They are the ones that got her music out there and she wouldnt be on the level she is now with out them.

I really lost a lot of respect for her. She just slapped a lot of black people in the face that supported her.

Expect an explanation real soon!

YES I’M TOTALLY AFFENDED BY THAT. IM ONE OF BEYONCE’S BIGGEST FANS. BUT THAT COMMENT THAT SHE MADE WAS A STAB IN THE BACK. I THOUGHT THAT SHE LOVE BEING A BLACK AMERICAN WOMAN. BUT MAYBE SHE JUST SAID THAT SO THE LATINAS COULD FEEL GOOD ABOUT THERESELFS AND MORE PEOPLE WILL BUY THE MAGAZINE

Wow! Come on now folks, let’s cut her a little slack, we all know she’s not the most articulate of the bunch. I’m sure she wasn’t saying she doesn’t appreciate being black, I think she was just trying to compliment LATINAS and it came out the wrong. Like everyone said… just a little @ss kissing to sell a few more albums. Real talk though i’ve seen people on here say that “she has so many haters she must be doing something RIGHT”, it might be something Beyonce is doing WRONG. I have never seen an entertainer that has just as many people that LOVE them…HATE them. JANET, MARY J., ALICIA KEYS, MARIAH…. all these ladies have more people that LOVE them then HATE them. And all those women have been able to master being everywhere (as far as publicity) and not get on people’s nerves. So why can’t BEYONCE do it? For some reason, BEYONCE seems to be split right down the middle… either people love her or can’t stand her @ss. It’s weird. Me, i’m on the fence.

While i’m sure she didn’t mean anything by this statement, I can’t help but to laugh at people making excuses for it. When HALLE BERRY said that when she was younger she wished to be ” cured of her blackness” (because she didn’t know any better) folks jumped on her for it. When she was born half-white and was raised in an all white part of town, which i’m sure she got teased a lot. So her feeling that way at a young age isn’t that far fetched. What is Beyonce’s excuse? Nothing. I have never seen J. Lo when she’s on the cover of VIBE magazine saying she wished she was born BLACK, just to sell a few records. The LATINO’S would have torn her @ss up. LOL! Every time you turn around BEYONCE talking about CREOLE this and CREOLE that. My fathers entire family is CREOLE, i’m light skinned, yet i’m not preaching about CREOLE at all times, I understand being proud…but d@mn, i’m BLACK!! Wouldn’t change it for the world…. that’s why I can’t stand when people say “we should support these people, because they represent US’, no she doesn’t, BEYONCE represents BEYONCE. If your going to say that, at least say that about someone that is not just cute, but worldly and well spoken. If someone is putting out good albums, and is a good person, then i’ll support them, but if your FAKE you’re not getting my money. Period. If she put’s out good albums (because B-DAY was truely on the fence with a lot of people) then support. If not, she can kick rocks along with everyone else. I’ll end this by saying i’m glad this girl was able to make it in the entertainment business, because no offense, I cannot imagine her on anyones COLLEGE CAMPUS. I’m just sayin’…. when it comes to knowing how to promote herself, she’s good, but she is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. And why the hell did she make a Spanish album? I can barely stand to hear her speak ENGLISH, let alone struggle trying to speak SPANISH **shudders at the thought**

P.S Thanks to CL for posting this because i’m sure this post is going to get real interesting real soon. LOL!

Im offended.Why cant she be proud in who she is.She comes across as saying that being black has no culture 2 it.Please,African American culture is probably the strongest culture in America.Ass-kissing or not,she needs 2 stop.And 4 people who are Latina who see this as “no big deal” or a compliment, imagine how you would feel if Jennifer Lopez or Shakira said “sometimes Im jealous that I wasnt born Black”…youd be sittin here with a WTF look on your face 2.Beyonce…learn how 2 fuckin speak rite or youll have no fans left!

Here comes the part where some obvious B fan says, “Fuck all da hataz. She can do what she wants, she laughin’ all the way to da bank!”

that would be seriously* lol it’s funny that grammatical faux pas comes directly before calling her an idiot. God don’t like ugly!

D@mn you folks be on it when it comes to posting on this site, when I started typing my post, it was only @ 44 post. LOL! I predict 200 post by midnight! LMAOOO!

I love me some B. Remember it was not to long ago her mom renounced her heritage. Sometimes the apple doesn’t fall far. It could be unconcious thinking on her part.

She has begun to consitently isolate from her core fan base. Instead of the beautiful down home girl she is turning more and more plastic before our eyes. B is making it harder & harder to continue liking her and therby supporting her. Sometimes ugliness will be your downfall!!!

@55, I have a friend who is Panamanian, and she told me that she use to be racist of blacks, and that they didn’t hang out with them when they were younger. This is funny to me and sad because when you look at her the only way you would know she was latin is her name and her accent. other than that, she look just as black as me. It’s sad, black, latino, asian,anyone of ethnic origin, we aspire to be like white people ultimatly..We want do these things that generally white people do just so we can say that we can do it too. A prime example of this…. anyone of working age, and anyone in corporate position. Look how blacks treat each other. Maybe it’s just me, but I’ll notice a black person talk all friendly and be all buddy “chum-chum” with a white co-worker, but when they run across a fellow black co-worker. we wont say hi, or even give eye contact. we may nod heads and that it, when 10 min earlier we couldnt get you to shut the hell up talking to Bradly in his cubicle.

has anyone else ever noticed or experienced that on the job?

Poor B, she probably did not think before saying it but you just can’t go around saying you wish you were from another culture. It won’t sound good no matter what she meant to say. I wonder if she reads but I tend to think not a whole lot except for songs. She should look into expanding her vocabular or getting speech lessons. You would think her desire to be an actress would give her a better speaking ability but some people are just not gifted with being able to speak well. She just sounds so pre-teen for someone who is a grown. I’m sure she regrets a lot of things she has said because she gets qouted after the fact. Sometimes SILENCE IS GOLDEN.

THE LESS YOU SAY THE BETTER OFF YOU ARE WHEN YOU ARE A CELEBRITY. SHE SHOULD KNOW THAT BY NOW.

Wow.Now I thought Rihanna said some stupid things.But this..I have no words for.I mean I’m sure she probably didn’t mean to put her race down.But she could have a sat there and thought about the question before she opened her mouth to answer it.I know her public speaking skills aren’t that good.But wow Bey.I was actually giving you a hand of applause for not sayin something like “I know Bajans, they always talk crap.”…Hmm…But this sounds just as bad.I really want to see how she will explain herself .

I will admit the culture is beautiful.But the African American culture is just as beautful.I’m African American and Japaneese.And wish I was nothing but.

beyonce is nothing but a beautiful liar,,,
ive heard her say a few times “i grew up in texas around latins”
i remember listening to selena?

yeaaaaa right

shes a soul less freak who has been told shes beautiful one too many times..

Man I mean dis really isn’t that serious all of you people out there saying that she is a ass kisser and etc are fucking haters it not that serious people love to blow shit out of the water get a life!!!! Any one would know that beyonce is proud of her race and it was just a compliment that alot of you haters took fucking wrong!!! yOU GO BEE keep doing you and keep them haters guessing!!

@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
http://us.video.aol.com/p...mode=1&pmmsid=1667208

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!

come on beyonce is a walking hypocrite ( & cosmetically masked robot)
she claims to be a proud african american woman but wont let go of the weaves
that should say enough / too bad for us bionic women is going back to the studio in december so get your bee flu shots,,,its only just begun the world is sadly obsessed and consumed

She’s just stupid.

Ok, I’m back. I see some folks want to get their trousers all ruffled and such. Bring it down a notch and smell the cornbread! I’ve been coming here for a while and just now joined. Some cats get upset when others speak their opinion. It’s ok hun, don’t be mad. Now I like Beyonce myself and heck she is human like the rest of as and some people just say dumb stuff without knowing it. I hope no one goes off on me for being real. I respect ya and will continue to so long as I can get it back.

Now, Beyonce is crazy for her remark and I’m sure she will catch some flack for it and when she does, she will maybe retract her comments if a) the media blows it up and takes it out of context (according to her crazy parents of course) and b) she tries to regergitate (sp?) her comments. Until then, the heffa will be known as miss “Flunky in speech class 101″! Peace to all of you, and be blessed as well.

Thank you so much! People can say what they want (deny that you are a hater if you want to) but she is still a blessed person for A REASON. And after this I will still enjoy & support her. So just calm down and eat a bologna and cheese sandwich!!! Pe@ce

I think its hypocritical to criticize Beyonce for ‘dissing’ her culture, when the majority of us (Beyonce included) don’t know about our own. When our kids grow up learning more about hip hop, than our African heritage. When we continue to support artists that refer to women as bitches and hoes, and each other as niggas. Sometimes I wish I was apart of a culture of unity, not degradation and separation. Sometimes I wish I was apart of a culture of peace, not violence and anger. Everyone’s so quick to say hip hop is dead. F hip hop. Our culture is dead. Blogs and other outlets have divided and scrutinized us, instead of uniting and lifting us up. If only we could get this hyped up, and contact our local politicians and demand changes in our educational systems. We’ll rather write about a pop singer’s faux pas, than the president’s continued and purposely misleading statements about the state of our troops. My point is, if you want to get on a high horse, choose a taller one. Because, there are so many issues affecting you that you could change with as quick of a response you gave Beyonce.

WISH SHE WAS BORN LATIN MY FEELING ARE HURTING BUT LATIN WOMAN WOULD NEVER HAVE A BANGIN BODY LIKE HER AND SHE NEED MORE THEN FUCKING CLASS SHE NEEDS TO LOOK @ HER SELF IN A MIRRIOR AND FIND HER SELF

I have never been a fan of Beeey nor her music what She said she is wronf for I’m tri racial if I ever said I rather be full black, white, or spanish people would say I’m disrespecting my race. thats what Bey did when she say that she rather be spanish. She just sounded so ignorant she really should have think before she said that damn stupid. O well I pretty sure she said it too push that damn B’Day album as a latina I’m tired of hearing that same ol’ ish it didn’t sound good in english it sure as hell doesn’t in spanish. She really needs to hire someone to choreograph what she says because aain’t no way in hell that shit gone fly. I guess we really can’t have it all beauty and brains. Papa knowles has damagae control. Great more publlicity for Beyonce :rolleyes:

I didnot find bee’s comment offensive, because she is expressing an opinion. i am very confident in my skin and with loving who i am as a “woman of color”! but once ina blue moon everyone has a moment of thought being someone othe than who they are now. I mean it was just a fantasy nothing serious, and yall “haters” out there placed alot of drama in this woman life its just a good thing she championed through it all. seriously she probably wished she was of another race based on all the drama african americans expose her to. still have luv for ya babygirl!

Sounds like BUTT-KISSING to me.No biggie.Now-had she said:”I’m jealous I was’nt born White.”That would’ve been juicy.

WOW!!! I really like Beyonce…. a lot, but that one comment-
I’m not surprised but quite disappointed. I don’t think it was “ass kissin” at all. It seems like over recent years, Beyonce has been trying convince everyone and make it clear that she’s not “full black”, making sure we all know that she’s Creole. She’s black when it’s convient but she defitnitely makes sure “she doesn’t offend {whitey}” or that “{they} feel comfortable around her”. I remember when I use to feel/think like that. When I was younger and dumb, before I found out the truth. Beyonce needs to read that Breaking the Psychological Chains of Slavery, then she’ll be headed to a path of self righteousness and self love. We can sit here and play it off like, “Oh, she just playing (hehehehe)” or “She was wanting her Hispanic fans to feel good”, LIKE HELL! Our sister is lost ya’ll. Pray for her. Sorry I wrote this much. Peace~

Here we go again, jumping on some pointless news about Beyonce and making it an issue.

So she said something ambiguous. Wow. Did she shave her hair off? Hell no, is she on crack and scratching her boyfriends face up?
Are you people so happy with mediocrity that when something special comes along you LOOK for trouble just to try and bring it down to that level of crazy that you love i.e. Spears, Winehouse and Lohan.

You guys are pathetic and as a voice for the black online community, its a shame that you are praising perhaps one of the only good role models for our community left. Oh wait, I guess you praise Rihanna so that surely makes up for it *rolls eyes*

More interesting to me is what’s the deal with people from the Caribbean of OBVIOUS AFRICAN ANCESTRY…CUBANS & DOMINICANS ESPECIALLY-and their outright denial and shame at being Black. I am a light-skinned American born brotha’…and when I lived in Miami I remember some episodes where women were extremely warm and inviting.That is until I told them I was American & Black.GAME OVER.White is right?
I’ve noticed this about Colombians too.

i’m not really of fan of Beyonce but I don’t have a problem with her work ethic. I really think that she meant that statement as a compliment and a show of gratitude that she’s getting from the Latino community nothing more and nothing less. I think most of the posters are reading too much into this.

yall need to calm down cuz its not that serious…..she didn’t mean it in a harmful way…and everybody lies so what if she did…yall need to chill out and for once in you life stop hating…az soon az a Beyonce thread comes along it has to have atleast 100 comments for wat just want to know??

……. ALL I CAN SAY IS BEYONCE IS A DUMB ASS WHORE THE BITCH IS STUPID AS FUCK BEYONCE DONT KNOW WHO SHE WANTS TO BE FAKE ASS BITCH

I don’t understand why people keep messing with this girl, trying to find everything under the sun to find fault in. She is human, but I feel genuinely a nice girl. It was no miss teen USA slip.

I am torn because I feel like that was the dumbest statement I ever heard a black women say, but at the same time I feel like she really did not mean nothing by the statement! But really I agree with angel she need to take some public speaking lessons because that alone could hurt her career either she meant it or not! people are going to think of beyonce as being a shamed of her race and people have every reason to believe so, because of the statement. She is going to have to talk her way out of this one!!!

#164 the point of this whole blog is to hear other people in put on celebs that why this blog is here yes we all know beyonce is hated on hella much but she is in showbizs in comes with it. if you become famous right now you will be talked about too there’s no getting of it. It is just the way the world is just deal with it.

i always loves beyonce and every time sum 21 said sum thing bad i would have ha back but fuck dis she wanna be Latino let ha kiss they ass she just lose a fan

^^^typo it comes with it

I am so disappointed that you guys posted this story. I’ve seen it else where && didn’t think you guys would give this story any play. Simply because it’s ridiculous to be upset at Beyonce for saying what she did. I mean SO WHAT. she is not saying that she is ashamed of who she is. She’s giving props to the Latino culture because they really are an affectionate loving group of people. && #75 holla at me gurl kuhsz yu took tha words right out of my mouth. I personally em haitain jamiacan && dominican so its sad that beyonce cant give props where do without being criticized && hated on.

Heres some food for thought. What would you have said if a Latina said that about the african american race.
NADA

Wow well like Angel said Beyonce needs some media assistance like right now!..I don’t think she meant anything by it..but she should be more precise and articulate..*sigh* first polow and keke now Beyonce?oh yeah fyi no ones reading itnot that statment it’s just that that statement she made can be interpreted negatively..poor beyonce she is ignorant into not eduacting herself

you would think that beyonce would think, speak & act more meticulously in front of the million people who are now watching her every move. between bogus comments to the public & fans, to flashing her lightskinneded-ass titties; then making an excuse for them saying it was a flesh tone bra- no, no, no, no! someone ring the alarm & have that bitch pushed down a stage set up again- maybe then she will regain some poise. i love her but lately she hasnt been upgrading anything.

& thas real.

I honestly dont c a problem people!! Y’all have nothin better 2 do wit your lives then analyze the things this woman says???

Beyonce, I’ll be your interview coach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL.

If she “wishes” she were born Latino that’s her problem, but that is something she should have kept to herself.

Someone probably told her to say that. She should have just said that Latinos are
“amazzing”, after all that is her favorite word.

I would like to see this girl write a book! hahahha ……..YEAH RIGHT.

Not an issue

#171 I feel the same way I don’t think she meant anything by it, but still she should have been careful if what she said! because this could hurt her career in the black commuity and that means record sales can drop!! even tho you did not take it personailly everybody esle did, and everybody take things different.

173@ lol lol lol damn you are funny lol “someone ring the alarm” classic!

BEYONCE WISH SHE WAS EVERYTHING , BUT A BLACK WOMAN.BUT I AGREE HER INTERVIEW IS GONNA BLOW S*** OUT OF PROPORTION.I AGREE WITH #24, #35.I’M SURE SHE MEANT NOTHING BY IT THOUGH.SHE JUST TRYING 2 SELL MORE ALBUMS.BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, NOMATTER WHAT NOBODY SAYS …THAT B**** IS STILL PAID SO MOVE ON.

People are gonna blow this out of proportion especially some mad black females who as usual, have nothing to do but criticize Beyonce and other successful black females. People must love her a lot and think about her a lot to be talking about her as much as they do.

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. Everything about her says she feels this way, big ass long ass lacefronts all the time (she can’t go pee without one on), the heavy makeup, even the natural look is heavy makeup. Every year she seems to distance herself from her black heritage more and more in terms of her appearance. In 3 years, trust, we won’t recognize her. She jacked Shakira’s style before most black people even knew who Shakira was…i have actually heard people say Shakira is copying Beyonce! Oh my God, Shakira was huge before beyonce’s solo career took off. Shakira was big when Beyonce was with Destiny’s child. Shakira even did a pepsi or coke (can’t remember which one) before Beyonce did it.

Beyonce is fake, has always been fake, and i dont think none of us know the real her, and that’s the way she wants it. Nothing about her seems original, and i mean nothing. She steals dance moves from other people and claim she made it up, she steals songs lyrics and claim she’s a song writer (not just a hook writer), and lord, i can go on. I don’t know the real her, but i know what we are presented with is fake because she makes contradictory statements all the time. She lies like the wind blows. And she seems to do it all for maintenance of a unrealistic image.

I sincerely feel sorry for the young girls who will be hurt by this statement. People are trying to minimize what she said, but the fact is that she said it, no matter the reason. Some young girls might be confused by this, and won’t INFER anything of this statement, they’ll simply take her at her word as i did with this statement.

I wish some people would just keep their biscuit eating mouth shut if all they’re going to do is cause a ruckus when they open it. People say beyonce is intelligent, but i can’t tell cause everything is done for her. Can someone name one thing that she’s been successful at that she’s actually done on her own, without the assistance of her mother, father, sister, pr crew, marketing team, dance teacher, and the camel? I would sincerely like to look at her differently, but i’m a realist, just can’t see it.

174# that why this is a gossip blog!!! move on

182# I agree with you people are going to take her statement differently then others so she kind of fuck her self if you ask me. but I do understand she is human, she just made a mistake I am not a fan of her’s or her music but I can see she’s not prefect and she still can be forgiven but I know other people is not going to see it that way!!

Beyonce’s bleached hair got her buggin…she could NEVER EVER EVER EVER be a Latina rofl!!!! in her phuckin dreams!!! she has not only insulted me as a Latina as she makes it seem like it’s the ” in thing to do” is to be Latina, but I’m sure insulted many black females who look up to her a being a successful Black Woman. Phuck that, Beyonce you speaking Spanish makes me ill, and those comments make me wanna eurl. Anyone saying I’m buggin out, imagine if Jennifer Lopez optied out and siad ” Oh I love Black culture I’m jealous I wasn’t born Black.”

as much confidence as it seems beyonce has, i dont know if she really HAS it. or maybe she just really needs to take on some public speaking courses. lol. I was watching this interview she had with AJ the other day just recently, and he wished her a happy birthday, she shook his hand and said “yes, happy birthday”. UHH? what? isn’t Thank you the right response?
besides alll that beyonce is really a beautiful and talented person…
moving on…

Personally, I wouldn’t sweat it. Beywatch is a Black Creole. Anyone who knows those folks know that they don’t consider themselves “100%” black (whatever the HELL that means), anyway. It’s like the time Tiger came out and labeled himself a “Cablinasian” (again, WTH???). She’s an entertainer; it’s not like she’s saving the world, or running for president or something. Get over it, y’all.

Even though I don’t wish Beyonce any percussion, I find it disturbing how alot of ya’ll fake ass people give her slap on the wrist and excuse her behavior. If this was Mary J. Blige or Kelly Rowland saying they wish that they were latina, everybody would be calling them either a sell-out or a tom. People wouldn’t have made up an excuse for them.

This only shows the simple-mindes people in this world or at least this site that thinks Ms. Bey could never say or do anything wrong.

@184

yeah, but i actually don’t think it was a mistake…sounds like she said what she was actually thinking, though it was politically incorrect to some people. And i believe her because 1) she’s grown, and i would think she knows what’s coming out of her mouth and she know’s she’s on a interview. True, people can mis-speak, however, there are decisions she’s made in her life in fthe public’s eye that supports this statement of her wanting to be “latina” in my eyes. 2) Like i said, her appearance, jacking shakira’s style, now admitting she’s always loved shakira, doing a cross over album marketed toward the latino communities. Just too many arrows pointing in that direction. And alot of people have similar thoughts of coveting features or traits of another race/culture, but just keep these thoughts to themselves as not to harm others. But when you are a big name like Beyonce, to me, you sort of have a responsibility to watch what comes out of your mouth. You know, mistake or not, seriously, i can see some young black girls who worship her sincerely hurt by this statement, whether she mis-spoke or not.

187# WTF if she is a role model, shit like that ain’t suppose to be flying out of mouth that what people or piss about it don’t matter if she saving the world or not kids look up to her she is suppose to be setting a example!

#189 damn that is soo true I agree with you soo much

I think if we could all stop acting like celebrities are the spokespeople for truth, things would be a lot easier.

Beyonce says dumb shit. So does her boyfriend. So do all his artists. IT HAPPENS.
How many times have YOU been misunderstood or quoted wrong? I can say I hate beans and rice.. and 50 minutes from now, it’ll be.. “She said she hates Mexicans. They smell like beans and rice”. In general, people twist up your words.. and people say dumb things. Theres probably someone thinking Im racist and Im attacking Mexicans. “Cause being Mexican isnt just about eating beans and rice. Stereotype!”. *sigh. People take lint and try to make dust balls. Its just not that serious.

Of course Latina magazine was going to print that part. How many people are going to go buy the magazine? LOTS! And how many more people are going to buy the copy next month after exposure to this one? LOTS. C’mon.. its business. She could have said a lot more after “I wish I was Latina……”.. but they can only make the interview so long.

Black creole my a(bleep) lol. She Black. Do not let that weave fool you. Under those tracks and lace front wigs is beautiful naps. My cousins and mother are way lighter then her and her mother. So that creole ish they be talking is nothing to me.

wateva man….i just want her to go away for awhile…DAMN LIKE NOW! i think all these lil mishaps(falling on her face, showing her boobies, etc) is a sign for her to sit ya ass down….

but on the real beyonce never been good at doing interview…definitely not her strong point

I think from young as soon as little girls are exposed to the “media” we develop complexes about our culture and our skin colors unaware of the fact that every culture that is a culture especially latin culture (being that we are all one) originated from the African culture. I think beyonce making that comment as a sucessful black woman whether light or dark is wrong whether it was because she was ass kissing or not. There are a lot of little girls and grown women that look up to her and are proud that she is a sucessful black woman and her making that comment was really unnecessary. i know she didn’t mean or want for that comment to come out the way that it did but it did. I forgive her because she unfortunately does not know any better.

P.S. Black is where its at!

#192 I am not trying to agree with everybody but you are right about that the media like to twist people words up alot, that have happen to me once I was so piss but at the same time you have to watch what you say also!

I think she should run for office…with comments like that. VOTE BEYONCE! oh my bad Beyoncita…..

@ 16 LOL BEYONCITA???

@192

Sounds like a bunch shouda, woulda, coulda, and none of the “this is what she said.”
Sounds like excuses, maybe she meant this, maybe she said more and it was cut, whatever. The only thing people can comment on here is what is actually posted here on the blog. And maybe what she said was taken out of context, but actually, she shouldn’t went no where near a statement of that sort. Most entertainers have classes and coaches for this kind of stuff. She’s in the game long enough to know what’s forbidden terrritory…She makes damn sure before the interview starts that they don’t ask her about certain things, she tells them what areas they can question her on…..So it’s not far fetched for her fans to hold her responsible for what comes out of her trap. And you’re right, things can get twisted, and you gave the example of not liking beans and rice, and it be miscontrued that you don’t like mexicans. But everyone knows that celebrities should keep their likes and dislikes to themselves for political reasons, that’s “making a star 101.” I’m sure she’s taken that course. And if not, shame on her. I guess it can’t just simply be that the girl actually feels this way cause no one wants beyonce to fall off that pedestal. But i think stans more than anyone else expect that girl to be perfect….everyone else thats objectional can see her faults and strengths. I don’t think public speaking and knowing what to say is her strength, that’s why someone is usually always around for her interviews. I don’t see Ushers mom, Brandy’s mom, and Ashanti’s mom, sweating them on their interviews like Beyonce’s mom stay doing. But i believe we can now see the reason for that.

Thank you Grace! lol OH MY GOSH that is exactly what I been saying. They always talking about that Black creole stuff. Mostly all Black people are mixed but you do not hear us saying well technically I am not Black. I am 25% Native American oh and my great grandfather was white. I mean it gets to the point when I want to say SHUT UP! lol really though. I am mixed with a whole bunch of stuff but they kill me with that creole stuff like FOR REAL.

#182…I gotta disagree with ya, well sorta, you’ll see…
I am one of those people, a mind reader, I guess lol, as I believe it was merely opportunistic…she was sucking up, trying to move units. I’m sure she knows their history, similar to our own, with lookism (color complexes, namely) so I bet she knew she had to really turn it on to sell herself to them, “I wish I was born a latina” makes them want to excuse her skin (which, although light, is olive toned in comparison to their own).
But, I agree with you about her insincerity and constant illiterate contradictions. We watched a BET special on her a few years ago, and she said, to an interviewer “”I believe young girls should eat, have fun, enjoy their lives instead of worrying about diets and things like that.” And, it wasn’t two minutes later that she hinted, as a child might, at wanting a turkey dog and milk shake. A hint which her handler caught and shot down. The woman shook her head, really, shook her head and said “no, we got a video next week. Everything’s got to be tight” I promise you, I’ve seen few things more pathetic in my life. I felt sorry for her.
I’ve said many spiteful, disparaging things about her in this topic because…well, there is no excuse, I wanted to taunt her stans because I find hilarious, even the idea that she writes profound and artistic songs, that she designs individual, fashion forward pieces, that she is a believable actress… In other words, I wanted to lol. BUT I know that, ultimately, she is a great singer and even greater beauty…but as I am a realist (I am too, JSCENE) I know that she’s been overextended to the point of being almost a caricature.

@200 lula pear

I hear you…but can she even ass-kiss right? I mean there’s a way to do it where you don’t hurt any other race/sex groups. And why ass-kiss if you’re “beyonce.” Something must be going wrong in peddling this cd, cause if those numbers are true as you quoted them at $6,000 oh my land, she’s not getting much support from the latino communities, cause it’s more of them than us, and only $6,000 was purchased! That can’t be right.

I don’t think it was rehearsed, and i think she just had a moment of “telling the truth,” at a lost of words to answer the interviewers questions, and for once, she didn’t have the benefit of some sort of script.

This will not hurt beyonce one bit…i’m sure her father (the clean up man) will clean this one right on up. And for the next couple of outings, she’ll be accompanied by her mother.

I do not think Beyonce meant anything by her statement. Moma Knowles seems to have a pretty strong Black identity and has passed that on to her girls. So what, I am Latina and I think there’s no culture that is more beautiful and unique that Black culture. Both cultures are beautiful. Stop comparing.

I think you guys are blowing this out of proportion. I see nothing wrong with her statement. Geez.

It ain’t even no big deal… she said what she said has a compliment.. nothing else … I don’t think people would have been half has bothered if ‘Mary J Blige’ or ‘Brandy’ or someone else said it … It’s not a biggie, just a compliment

I don’t think she meant any harm by saying that.

Beyonce is pathetic. She is not articulate, and this is not the first time she has put her foot in her mouth. I saw her on MTV3 last week on TRL saying that she tells people she’s Dominican…. what a fool.
Her parents were so busy pimping her to the music industry, she never received an education, besides lessons on beginners, intermediate and advanced booty shakin’… and what’s even worse is I bet you she does not think anything is wrong with what she said…
She is really sad, and a reminder to all people to stay in school and be true to who you are.

WOW WHAT A DUMB ASS BITCH…THIS CHICK IS RIDICULOUS…AND THIS IS WHAT YA’LL BLACK SISTERS LOOK UP TO? THIS IS THE FEMALE YOU CALL YOUR IDOL? WOOOOW Someone who can sing a tune but can’t speak proper English…someone who seems smart….but is a fuckin air- head…Beyonce is ridiculius..she is a super star with alot of money so feel there is nothing that can be done to stop her. because she got it all now…so it really wouldn’t give a fuck to her what her fans say about her. She is dumb…I wish I can pistol whip her ass all the way to Spain…since she loves Spanish people so much.

@201, JSCENE
Nah, it won’t hurt her because people don’t care what she says…I mean, everyone agrees that she’s illiterate, it’s a general consensus, but no one cares because they’re too busy looking at her lol Now, they’ve added Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Johansen, the chick from Transformers… I mean, it’s all about looks now, everything entertainment is essentially one perverted peep show.
And, it turns out that her “sex appeal” is biting her in the butt, as our culture becomes more and more obsessed with looks, they divorce themselves from more meaningful things… So, you’ve got a situation where they don’t care how well she sings, they just want to look… And, as I said, since she has to compete with newer sex kittens (and, she’s slogging in that competition now) she finds herself in the situation where she’s not quite as hot and her actual talent (singing) is irrelevant. And, because of all this, she will fade into some sort of curious campy idol, touring arenas with her sequins and wigs and particular, sparse crowd (or “lambs” is it, Mariah says)

LOL at Jscene. You don’t like Beyonce, huh. I’ve noticed that since I’ve started coming to CL, you be one of the main people going at Beyonce. I think all of the arguing is funny. I actually read the article a week ago. Both haters and stans think they know what’s really happening, yet we all have no idea. It’s funny how we can analyze a person’s psyche, and probably never seen them in person.

In all, I think Beyonce needs to improve her PR skills. I don’t think she meant anything by it, however it is not a good look to be rambling at the mouth like that.

Stay in School Kids. Just stay in school. English class is your friend do not skip it. Obviously someone did. That is all I have to say.

the reason beyonce does stuff like get a spanish coach and sing in spanish is so she can prepare a latin america tour and make more cash and so people can say oh my god beyonce is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

she can dance in high heels
make a album in 2 weeks,,
sing in spanish,,,what is there that beyonce cant do??

shes fucking amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEYONCE get on your knees and pray to my pictures!!!!!!!!!!

hahaha LMAO

What a dump bitch…

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

Bey needs to hire a spokesperson. Every time she opens her mouth, if not to sing, she lowers the pole for dumb blonds.

Why am i not suprised she lost herself a long time ago when she signed tht L’oreal contract.

#209 Char

I cannot speak for JSCENE, I do not want to, either…but I will say it: I don’t like her. Is that rewarding to the people who seem to have wanted, so long, for someone to overtly say it?? Well, I have, now. I do not like Beyonce.
Unfortunately, though, it has little to do with Beyonce. Hear me out. I don’t like her because she personifies this blind, thriftless attachment to beauty. I think women envy Beyonce because she’s an oppressing figure, oppressing because someone has decided to imbue, undeservedly, her with all these qualities. She is beautiful, so not only must we recognize her for the talents she possesses, but for those she doesn’t as well. She is an astute writer, a skilled actress, and a fashion savvy woman of the world…and why? Surely, she’s none of those things…but she is, in our culture, because she looks the way she does. In other words, people like looking at her, they like looking, period. So, they want the astute writer, the skilled actress, and the fashion savvy woman of the world to LOOK good, as everything for them is retinal… Ya get me?? Beyonce represents this oppressing occupation with beauty… And, so, I’ll say it. I don’t like her.

like seriously… i read these blogs where they try to be negative and put good people down.. whether it’s cause their life sucks or they are just purely insecure as a person… she obviously just worded what she was saying wrong and you negative people just take it and run with it because you dont have anything else better to do. Shes not dumb, shes not a bad person, shes not racist, shes NOT ashamed of her own race, so stop HATING and GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shes doing good for herself people… just be happy for her and MOVE ON!!!!!!! Get Jesus in ya life..lol!!! peace!

Why are people talking about sending this poor girl back to school?

Dont you know she’s gonna have to go waaaay back and start with Dora the Explorer and Fisher-Price Toys.

This is the same girl that said *intermediate family* and *100% divided attention* do you really think she could finish college?..hmmm

Anywhoo now we know why she never gives interviews without a script….
Funny how the *hottest chick in the game * is also the dumbest.

I’m so GLAD that Martin Luther King, Maya Angelou and Frederick Douglas enjoyed being black as i do!!!! Beyonce is suppose to ba a role model and i feel bad for little girls that wish they had a different heritage. If she had was my child i would be embrassed, especially since her claim to “fame” is her BLACK GIRL BODY and BLACK BOYFRIEND/HUSBAND……. I’m tired of her disrespecting OUR culture. I will not be supporting her anymore

I like Beyonce…but she is not well educated…well she must have slept through english class and I am proven right everytime she open her mouth for some kind of interview.

yeah.. basically from what i have seen in the comments its just jealous ppl who cant stand seein another person bein successful .. better yet a BEAUTIFUL & TALENTED person bein successful it makes them hateful… but newayz.. while they talkin shit about her and callin her names.. shes out there in the world doing her thing and making money and they still on the computer chair staring at the screen and getting fat.. LOL!!!!!!

This is comical Beyonce at her finest! This is to funny.

I think people are gonna twist this and run with it. Not saying Beyonce is the brightest bulb in the pack, but I can understand what she was trying to say. They do have a very vibrant culture and it is worthy of envy sometimes when you look at what we’re forced to call “black culture” in the USA. There’s very little to celebrate post 70’s to the present. We’ve been idle for too long and it’s time for our future generation to get out the damn TV and hit the books.

SISTA’S are soooo mean… i can understand what she was trying to say. im AA and sometimes i wish i could be somethin else just cause our people are so harsh on anything you do “you cant make a mistake” with our people! if i was going to be another RACE i would want to be Latino too just because they are alot like AA they have alot of things/ family oriented ways. SHE didnt say “WHITE” yall DAMN….

People need to calm down! It is not like she said she wished she wasn’t black. There are plenty of proud black latinos who rep their dual cultures fully, like Tego Calderon for instance. For people to equate her comment with self hatred is really just complete ignorance because everyone should no by now that “latino” is not a race.

in regards to number 220………………. hating is for people who don’t have lives. I have one with a career, car and husband. So i’m not hating as i stated she is a role model and it doesn’t matter if she was trying to impress someone or not she should have chosen her words better then she did. It’s called thinking before you speak which is obviously YOUR problem and HER. I would hate to have a child who didn’t apperciate where they came from or listen to a adult who thinks wishing they were someone else is acceptable……. so she can go ahead and make mnoney but money will not keep you out of HELL.

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.

I finally figured out why Jay Z hasn’t proposed…She’s his trophy girl, but he can’t get used to the fact that she’s dumb.

#126 is a great post.

Oh, and on the MTV music awards tonight, it was reported she almost let her breasts fall out again because she asked someone to help pull her dress up before they came out. The girl don’t even have breasts but apparently, she don’t mind them flying from under or above her outfits.

I agree with #19’s comment, who cares? I think if people really take this seriously they’re making a big deal out of nothing. I like Beyonce and all, but we all know the girl is a little slow to say the least and this is a prime example. Anybody with any common sense would have never let something like that come out of their mouth.

I personally feel that people are misconstruing what this woman stated. She simply stated that she’s jealous she wasn’t born latina, because though she isn’t apart of their culture,they embraced her with much love as though she were. So, that made her think that hey! if they welcomed me with this much admiration as a black entertainer, I could only imagine how it would be if I were latina. because for 1 we as a black culture don’t stick together and the hispanic culture DOES! We consistently tear one another down! just to make ourselves seem better. I don’t blame her one bit, even if she did mean what she said I totally concur. I mean prime example look at what everyone who’s posted a comment opposing her response is doing, Repremanding this woman and calling her dumb, stupid, and not very articulate. I wish to know just how any of you would conduct yourselves and how articulate you would be if given the opportunity to be interviewed.

Beyonce is a very “special” person. Let’s leave it at that.

COME ON Y’ALL. ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS. HOW IS THAT WE CAN ALWAYS READ SOMETHING AND INTERPRET IT WITH A NEGATIVE PERCEPTION. ALL SHE WAS DOING IS COMPLIMENTING THE LATIN CULTURE WHICH IS A VERY VIBRANT & ENTERTAINING & INTERESTING & DIVERSE CULTURE. I READ THIS ONCE, AND NEVER DID I GET FROM IT THAT SHE WAS SELLING OUT OR REGRETING BEING BLACK. I LOVE LATIN CULTURE AS WELL AND THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH WHAT SHE SAID. AND THEN AGAIN MAYBE ITS BECAUSE I’M 43, AND PROBABLY A LITTLE OLDER THAN MOST PEOPLE WHO READ THIS SITE AND COMMENT. HENCE, I DON’T ALWAYS TRY TO NEGATIVELY INTERPRET SOMETHING SOMEONE SAYS. MAYBE WE NEED MORE OPEN MINDED 40 SOMETHING BLOGGERS!!!!!!!!!!

There’s an old saying, “kids are better seen than heard”. So should this girl. I’ve heard that Beyonce was slow- this interview proved it. She contradicted herself and insulted her race in the process. True, it’s not that serious, and she did it for PR, but dont diss the races who put you on the map while you’re trying to gain another race’s approval to make money off of them bimbo. Wow, I had no idea this girl was this SLOW. She should just stick to entertaining and give no more interviews. I agree with other comments, the girl is like a robot. If someones commands her to dance, she breaks out into those convulsive moves, if they yell sing, she screechs and wines out a tune, if someone yells interview, you start hearing the crickets until someone hands her a cue card on what to say.

Jayz has probably delayed marrying her, because all these years he’s been teaching her how to say “I do” and the rest of the wedding vows so she can get it right. LOL!!!! But seriously, I think that family’s greed for money is getting the best of them, now they are going after the Latino community. If I were Latino I would not be flattered by her making Spanish versions of her songs, because according to her interview, she’s not learning Spanish because she loves it so much, she’s only learning just enough to sing her songs in Spanish to make money off of them. I bet if you repeat her songs in Spanish to her right now, she would not have a clue on what you just said. Not impressive.

Beyonce does not have a high school diploma and therefore cannot be held accountable for what comes out of her mouth.

*The preceding statement was that of sarcasm. If it went over your head,you are stupid*

when will this stupid bitch with a pretty face GO AWAY

Beyonce is an idiot.

It’s Possible that Beyonce isn’t the most articulate person in the world, and MAYBE she was trying to show her Latina fans honor & respect.

That said, she DIDN’T say that she wished she wasn’t black.

I think she was just trying to convey that she admires the Latino culture.

She SHOULD have just stated that she listens to Latino music, and she like Latino music, and left it at that.

Beyonce isn’t a great communicator.
She made a mistake in issuing that particular comment

Beyonce has the IQ of a golf ball

http://news.netscape.com/...fall-after-black-comments

I’m not a fan of Beyonce but I think it came out the wrong way, it sounds as though she got carried away in the interview. We all know it was not a wise comment to make and Beyonce probably realised that after she said it.

Lula Pear said:

Are you shocked that she misspoke? She’s an idiot…She also said people didn’t flock to her character in Dream Girls because she wasn’t a stereotype… People don’t take her seriously, or else that would have made the press as either her calling Jennifer Hudson’s character/performance a perpetuation of a stereotype OR saying that black people aren’t accustomed to “classy, understated” (her words) representations of themselves…. Cause she was definitely doing both those things, but nobody cared because nobody takes her serious… She’s an idiot with a list of adjectives (I’m not being funny, I really think she has a list of adjectives. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed adjectives are the whole of her vocabulary?????)

Bill Said:

I wasn’t aware that she said the things listed in the post above.
Just chalk it up to Beyonce having Poor Communicatio Skills

I read back at all the comments on CL dissin’ Bey on all the previous post and I know exactly what she means.

If she gets love from another culture and is embraced by others more than she is HER OWN people than I don’t fault her one bit for what she said.

I’m sorry but she’s telling the truth. We as black people just LOVE to put each other down.

The level of hypocrisy on this site is off the meter today. I’m shocked. lol.

There was so much anger, hate and practical death threats when Polow Ding Dong made his comments. And when ya’ll find out brothers want to date only a certain type of woman (White, Asain, etc) ya’ll are ready to boycott everything they touch, sell and endorse. lol. Yet this Black girl that millions of other Black girls admire and adore literally says she wishes she was born something other than Black and a lot of yall want to overlook her comment. lol. I don’t get it. Why does she get treated differently? Why is the standard different? Is it because people think Latinos are closer to Blacks in cultural background and heritage than Whites and therefore her statement carries less weight? Dumb as hell.

Yes, this chick has the IQ of a staple but that’s no excuse. She’s been around long enough to know what she means, mean what she says and say what she means. When someone SAYS they wish they were born something else there’s a certain level of seriousness to that statement. How many of you have ever said “I wish I was born (fill in the blank)…And if you did say it, how many of you really didn’t mean it?
Beyonce has been accepted by every damn culture in the world. The girl is a mega-star. She’s crossed over so much her ass is tangled. lol. Her statement is not about getting a pass. It was a Freudian slip that was a slap to Black people. Notice how she says ‘…between speaking to all of the Latino stations and speaking to the pop stations or the “other” stations.’ What other stations could she be referring to?? Country, Alternative, Rock???? lol. She straighted up dissed yall and she’s sraight-up saying that Black people are haters and she means it. She just messed around and got that shit in print.

I have a lot of problems with Black people but I would never want to be anything other than who I am. The grass is not always greener. It just goes to show the culture we’ve become. If you’re fine (subjective) and can shake your ass, you utter words that literally translate into pure self-hate and you can get a pass. That’s why no one got on Halle for saying she wished she was all White. SMDM for real on this one.

My take on this: If you believe that this statement of hers is no big deal then you shouldn’t have had problem with Polow’s.

Ooh Beyonce, why did you say that and what did you REALLY mean by it?? Anyway, all I have to say is “Im Black and VERY PROUD.” I love my people, we are very beautiful from our jet black skin to our honey light complications..I think that were just misunderstood….to me blacks are the idols of America. Ppl just want ever admit to it.

yall are on this girl about what she said but it seems to me that it was not meant as her wanting to be something else just she enjoys there culture

Bey’s terrible with public speaking. I’ve been saying that for quite some time. I used to think that she was a well-trained debutante type but even debutantes can string a sentence along better than she can.

She’s done worse though. When she was on Ellen, Ellen told her about how when Jay was on her show, she asked him what are the endearing things about Bey. He said the usual: kind, good heart, blah, blah, blah. Bey was asked the same question & she said : “He’s very smart & he’s a good businessman.” :-\ = negro please

She’s admiring the way that Latinos stick together and support one another and wishes that she had that in her on culture! I get it, I see the hate we have for one another and how quickly we are to express it! Their nothing wrong with admiration of how other do things, nothing. You go B, no hating here!

Maybe Beyonce is ringing up a lot of Latino Record sales ???

‘Bello Embustero (Beautiful Liar),’ From Beyonce’s Oye! Award-Winning ‘B’DAY Deluxe Edition,’ Grabs Latin Grammy Nomination for Record of the Year

NEW YORK, Aug. 30 /PRNewswire/ — Beyonce’s “Bello Embustero (Beautiful Liar),” her duet with Shakira from “B’DAY Deluxe Edition,” picked up a Latin Grammy Record Of The Year nomination, announced Wednesday, August 29, at a press conference attended by national and international media in Miami. The 8th Annual Latin Grammy Awards — scheduled for Thursday, November 8 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas — will be broadcast live on the Univision Network from 8 - 11 p.m. ET/PT (check your local listings).

Beyonce’s Latin Grammy Record Of The Year nomination closely follows the announcement that the international superstar’s “B’DAY Deluxe Edition” had taken home Mexico’s coveted Oye! Award as “Best International Album of the Year.” The Oye! Awards ceremony was aired on Televisa, the #1 television channel in Mexico.

News of Beyonce’s Latin Grammy nomination and Best Album honors happily coincides with this week’s release of “Irreemplazable,” her new eight track Spanish language EP featuring select songs from “B’DAY.” “Irreemplazable” — a compilation of original material and tracks from “B’DAY” and “Dreamgirls” including the Spanish chart-topping “Amor Gitano” — is available now.

The original version of Beyonce’s “B’DAY” won this year’s Grammy for Best Contemporary R&B Album, bringing Beyonce’s lifetime Grammy total up to 10 (seven as a solo artist and three won with Destiny’s Child).

Beyonce’s Oye! winning “B’DAY Deluxe Edition” premieres, in addition to the original 12 tracks from “B’DAY,” five brand-new songs in English, the expanded album’s first single, the Latin Grammy nominated “Beautiful Liar,” a superstar duet between Beyonce and Shakira, and six new Spanish language tracks including “Amor Gitano,” Beyonce’s sensuous flamenco-pop duet with Latin Grammy-winning superstar Alejandro Fernandez. Co-written by Beyonce with Grammy-winning songwriters/recording artists Reyli Barba and Jaime Flores and produced by Grammy-winning producer Rudy Perez, “Amor Gitano” can be heard as the theme music for “Zorro: La Espada y La Rosa (The Sword and the Rose),” a telenovela (serialized television soap opera) on Telemundo (check your local listings).

The award-winning album also includes Spanish language versions of “Listen (Oye)” and “Irreplaceable (Irreemplazable)” and three new mixes of “Beautiful Liar.”

“B’DAY,” Beyonce’s second solo album, closed out 2006 as one of the year’s most successful albums. A bona fide international success, “B’DAY” has achieved platinum plus status in the United States (3x platinum), the United Kingdom (2x platinum), Australia (platinum), Canada (platinum), Japan (platinum) New Zealand (platinum), and reached #1 on the United World Chart (2x platinum).

Released around the world on September 4, 2006 (September 5 in the U.S.) to coincide with the artist’s 25th birthday, Beyonce’s “B’DAY” entered the Billboard Top 200 at #1, with first week’s sales of more than 541,000 pieces, achieving the year’s highest first week’s sales of any female recording act, group or solo, and the fifth highest chart debut of the year of any artist, male or female. (The pop superstar’s first solo album, 2003’s Grammy-winning Dangerously In Love, also debuted in the #1 slot.)

“B’DAY” peaked at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200, Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and U.S. Internet album charts and remains a constant in the upper reaches of the Top 200.

“Deja Vu” (featuring Jay-Z), the first single from B’DAY, reached #1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart and #1 on the Hot Dance Singles Sales chart while its follow-up, “Ring The Alarm,” hit #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart and #3 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart. The album’s single, “Irreplaceable,” reached #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles chart (10 weeks in a row) and #1 on the R&B Singles chart (9 weeks in a row). Music World-Columbia Records

Beyonce is trying to sell MORE records to Hispanics.
It was a dumb statement, but what else would you expect from Beyonce ?

Classic Beyonce Blonde Moment. I enjoy Beyonce as an entertainer, but Beyonce is notorious for her speaking habits, which leaving nothing to be desired. That’s why she doesn’t talk much. She is also a chameleon, who adapts to whatever she is talking about at the time.

You can enjoy a culture without wanting to BE that culture, that’s not the issue. It’s one thing to give someone a compliment, it’s another thing to indicate envy over not BEING them. That’s only ammunition for the folks (not latinos per se) that try to mimic us without BEING us. We are NOT talking about Afro Caribbeans, Afro Cubans, etc. She is NOT one of them. Period.

The issue is regardless to who and what you are, (black, white, brown, or a mixture of that), be who you are and enjoy the others along the ride.

I’m disappointed at the comment, but not surprised.

^ That’s exactly my point. Once you’ve reached a certain pinnacle in your career, you don’t need to work that much harder to gain more fans. That’s like Marilyn Manson saying Blacks are the best race on earth and all Blacks running out to buy his album. People either like you (or your music) or they don’t. Beyonce couldn’t be stupid enough to think that her saying she wishes she was born Latina means more Latin people will run out and buy her records. Even she said it in her interview: good music is good music. So if they weren’t feeling her before she made that statement, they certainly won’t feel her afterwards … unless she thinks Latinos are just as dumb as she seems. lol

That’s a damn lie. This chatroom is whack as hell. Beyonce is Black, bi-racial but Black and proud of it. I’m sure there are some Latinas who wished they looked as good as she does. She’s beautiful,black and proud and Jay-Z is her man. Step off.

When I think about other cultures that are making music for something other than their own community, I immediatly think of:
Alan Thicke, Joss Stone , Amy Winehouse, Justin Timberlake

I would imagine at some point in the entertainers that I listed above careers, that they PROBABLY made a statement saying that they honor & respect Black Music or Black Culture.

Beyonce said that she admires Latino’s/Hispanics.

Although she should NOT have said she wished she was Latino, I think that what she was trying to convey is RESPECT for their culture.

Beyonce just doesn’t know how to artuculate her thoughts properly

@ 305…. I concur

Wow! “B” don’t get this much attention when she does something right… I guess it’s easier to focus on the negative things about a person.. I wonder about the people who are calling her dumb, stupid and/or air head would be perfect on every interview if they were put in the same situation day in and day out. Sometimes we need to be more encouraging and stop bashing people, because truth be told if you look back at something’s you have said or tried to say and did not come out correctly you would not be so quick to judge, because we all fall short sometimes, your not exposed because your not nationally known.

Gotta chime in here and agree with some other comments here.

I think she was just trying to convey respect for the latin culture. And a lot of us here can agree that this woman-child is not the brightest apple in the basket.

She just cannot give good interview because she’s not very well educated. If Mathew was so damn saavy, he would have made sure she buckled down on her studies, even the basic shit, while he was “grooming” his fembot for fame. At this point, all I have is pity for her. Some might say why pity her, she’s rich as fuk and don’t give a damn about us, but I can help but feel sorry for somebody who probably tries REALLY hard to stop her mind from playing an endless loop of the Scarecrow’s song from The Wizard of Oz, If I Only Had A Brain .

UNBEWEAVEABLE! Maybe her brain is affected by the glue.

@ Ms Mac

Polow’s comments were generalizing people as a whole and was not speaking about his own preference.. “B” on the other hand is not saying all black people wish they were born Spanish… She is speaking on her own personal preference which we are entitled to, now should she have said it “NO” being who she is, however her misconstrue comments and Polow’s ridicules comments has no comparison.

I think she went off to give a compliment to the latin community but her words were misdirected & it came off as her being alittle racist. This is a perfect example of how the media can take your words and twist them around.

It’s sad to here that…..

#126: great post.
#232: lmao.

this just goes to show all the world that celebrities are just as normal as us regular folk. we should be very aware that beyonce isn’t the most articulate person in the world. and maybe (JUST MAYBE) this is one of the following:

1. an attempt to embrace her latin fans
2. she had a hard time articulating what she wanted to say
3. she was mis-quoted by Latina Magazine

or maybe she just wants be a dang ol’ latina! we’ve all been there where we we wished that our hair was curlier or our nose was smaller, maybe even being a different race. bashing her (completely) is just a waste of time.

kudos #323

@ FLY CHIC,
I’m not directly comparing Polow’s statement to hers. The gist of what I’m saying is that a lot of Black folks got up in arms over his statement about his preference and him saying Black women were raised “different.” However, some of the same people treat it as no big that Beyonce — one of the few Black people that’s internationally recognized as a sensational Black Woman — says she wishes that she was born something other than Black. Peep the irony. Which one is really more of a slap to the Black race?

I see severe ignorance in both their comments. The main comparison here is that both of these celebrities are short-sighted and made statements that are insulting to their race. However, only one is literally crucified by their own race for it. The other one was given a free ride because she is “stupid, ignorant, airheaded, inarticulate” etc.

BEYONCE AND JENNIFER LOPEZ SHOULD SWITCH PLACES. I am not the least bit surprised. Although I am so PROUD OF CL, FOR PUTTING IT OUT THERE AND COMMENTING ON BEHALF OF BEYONCITA’S STUPIDITY. Unfortunately, African American women will continue to support Beyonce, and the KNOWLES clan; buying her less than mediocre records AND house of dodo clothing line. It was clear from the get go, what Beyonce’s role in Destiny’s child was, and what her purpose in the industry is today. And that is to set the standard. Beyonce is the “new” standard for African American women. It’s bad enough that we have to battle stereotypical fabrications where education is concerned in our communities. But now we have to battle our own kind; defending our selves against racially charged insinuations about being “black” in this country. Now I’m not saying she’s the first to do it, I mean black on black hate is a part of “NEGRO” history. But it says a lot when one of the most popular female “African American” singers in the industry down plays her own culture, and expresses publically that she would have preferred being born Latina. And for those of you who are not at least, bothered or disturbed by Beyonce’s recent comments; you have another thing coming. This is exactly why the recent wave of racial slurs and insensitive comments being made toward blacks are accepted. Because we don’t appear too rattled by them. I bet no (by one I mean black) publications are going to address Beyonce, or her camp about it. They’re going to let it slide; and the people around her are going to make excuses for her actions, and the media; since its mostly geared towards white people and for white people are going to laugh it off, and feed on it. And this is going to be added to Beyonce’s collection of ridiculous things to say. Beyonce has gone untouched for too long. But I will admit that the media by enlarge are major enablers. That is why she gets away with saying such crap; she’s protected, big time. I don’t think she’s ever been confronted for any of the stunts she’s pulled. I’m glad people are staring to catch on, and are calling her out.
I put a dime on it: That she’s going to release another urban album the black community is going to buy it, and support it. SO SAD. WHY US GOD, WHY US. Way to go Beyonce, what ever keeps you on top. We are the butt of every ones jokes people. Even empty avocado brain Beyonce.

i hope i’m last because this is a NON-issue…..

I could care less!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I find it so funny that the same people that support and defend her feel justified in saying that she’s really uneducated and shouldn’t be taken so seriously. So what exactly does that say about who some Blacks hold in esteem? If anyone else had come out and said that they would’ve been torn to pieces on this blog. And believe that they wouldn’t be calling themselves “haters” for not supporting that person.

Someone calls her a roboho and it’s off with their head. She says she wants to be something else and it’s blown off. This is yet another example of Blacks in denial. We stay supporting the wrong things out of fear of being called haters but never want to hold our most adored and admired stars accountable when they “F” up. This is why people like Marion Barry stay getting paid with taxpayer money.

And for the record, there was no twisting of her words in this interview. She has made it clear that she won’t do interviews unless her own recoder is on.

dont get mad now that the girl spoke her mind whether she was lying/ ass kissing or not. black folks always tearing each other down and yall know it. i just wouldnt go so far as to say that i wish i was born another race . she gone get in where she fit in and thats that. she kno where the money is

@ MS MAC

LOL it’s funny and I understand, however she is speaking for herself big difference Polow is speaking for a race of people. That’s like saying I wish I was rich are you speaking down on the less fortunate or I wish I had long hair, I wish I had a big butt, I wish I was lighter, I wish I was skinny, we all have a tendency of trying to be or have something we are not or don’t have. You know how may “black” people have said I wish I was “white” “then I would not have to be subjected to the racial profiling, being turned down because of being black, to have doors just open for them”? It’s mostly used as a figure of speech. Plastic surgery is a prime example how many black and white celebrities are doing it making their self into something they are not…. Also tanning white people wish they had skin color of Hispanic people we can go on with hair weave why can’t we be happy with our natural hair that god gave us as black people we can go on and own we are all guilty one way or the other of not being happy with who we are….

beauty with no brains. she doesn’t need say anything else unless someone writes it out for her…. fake @ss.

Give the girl a break. She was giving the people a compliment. What kinds of things would be written about us if everything that came out of our mouths were scrutinized. Everybody is always hating on her while she laughhs all the way to the bank. It’s sites like this that keep her name on everyone’s tongue….Go Beyonce!!! And no I am not a stan but I appreciate her success. We all should. I’m not gonna tear the sister down for everything she does.

“You know how may “black” people have said I wish I was “white” “then I would not have to be subjected to the racial profiling, being turned down because of being black, to have doors just open for them”? It’s mostly used as a figure of speech.”

Excellent point. I feel you 100%. You would just think that with all the wealth, fame, success and notoriety she’s achieved WHILE being Black she wouldn’t have that much to complain about (like regular folks). lol. Beyonce didn’t get rich from selling only to Whites or Latins. Black people who stayed checking for her played a big role in making her who she is, whether or not she wants to believe that. She needs to be a little more grateful. Guess no matter how much some people have in this world it’s never enough though.

Here comes the part where some obvious B fan says, “Fuck all da hataz. She can do what she wants, she laughin’ all the way to da bank!”
—————————————————————————————————————————

348, this means u. haha

a better statement wouldve been “i wish i wasn’t born so fucking stupid”

A few months ago, Halle Berry did a Interview in which she confessed that when she was growing up she wished that she was white, and that as an adult, she is insecure about her looks.

Quote:
April 24, 2006 Article
“Halle Berry And Her Insecurities”

“When Halle was growing up, she wished she was white so that she wouldn’t have had to struggle as hard as she did. The star has never been able to take compliments about her looks seriously. It goes to show you, no matter how beautiful you think someone is, they will always find fault in themselves.

Halle Berry used to pray she would be “cured” of being black. The stunning actress dreamed of finding a pill to turn her skin white when she was a child, according to The Sun newspaper.
The 39-year-old - who was the first black woman to win an Oscar, for her performance in Monster’s Ball - is quoted as saying: “Being a black woman I’ve struggled with that my whole life - feeling that if I changed, my life would be better.”

Meanwhile, the X-Men star has also confessed she is insecure about her stunning looks - despite being one of the most beautiful women in the world. The actress claims the fact she is frequently included on lists of the sexiest actresses doesn’t changed her mind about her appearance.

She said: “Although such things do wonders for my confidence, I’m never able to take them seriously. If they really knew me, they’d realize that I’m far from secure about my looks.”

Ms. Mac

LOL. You are right!

Beyoncita’s fans are funny, when you have to reiterate her comment the you know there’s something wrong with that. She probably meant one thing but how she said it cleary offended many so stop making excuses for her. There were so many ways she couldve said that but because shes stupid her comment shouldnt offend me? because she has a mind of a toddler and feels the need to sell out to sell records I should be ok with that. Give me a break, dont tell me what she really meant to say when she clearly said what she meant. Ya’ll aint Mama knowles dont talk for her.

If this was a few years ago, I’d be defending Beyonce to the end! But lately she’s been getting on my damn nerves… how could she even let something like that come out of her mouth??? I really don’t get her… I think that comment was do to her stupidity in part and also due to her fakeness… I don’t know if it’s because she feels like she constantly being attacked by the public or what, but she’s been putting on this “fake/phony I’m so humble” act during every interview! I’m waiting to see how she’s going to bandage this boo boo… my advice to her would be to stop talking out of her a**!!!

P.S. for those of you who Beyonce’s dumb comment didn’t bother I think you all need to do some soul searching! I can’t speak for anyone else, but I know I AM PROUD TO BE OF AFRICAN DESCENT!!!! and I will not stand for anyone disrepecting my culture in anyway, no matter what their race or status might be! Bill O’Rielly is booed when he makes his comments about Luda and hip-hop as a whole… so why should Beyonce be cheered on??? and have her “fans” make excuses for her??? Think about it… BLACKS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT, NEGROS, which ever you prefer… we have to start valuing ourselves and our culture way more than we do!

DAMN B, YOU JUST LOSS ONE……..LOL

@ # 23 NO I DONT THINK SO SHAKIRA AND J-HO ARE A KNOCK OFF OF BEYONCE. AND YOU J-LO CANT COMPARE TO BEYONCE IN THE LOOKS AREAH GET IT RIGHT.

girl just shut up and be cute!!!!!!!!!!!!

lmao rofl at 16!!!

I dont see what the big deal is. Shes just saying how much she likes the culture. Its not her meaning it literally. What people need to do is lighten up and stop reading into everything.! Damn!

Bill, I checked to confirm her “latin sells” over at the infamously all-pervasive- beyonce-all the time beyonceworld.net and it’s true… She didn’t sell well…

I knew it as soon as Beyonce said that, BLACK people were going to hate. I’m half black and half spanish ..

In the hispanic community nobody hates as much as black people..

just accept that she wishes she was spanish and suck it up.

I can’t stand when my own people hate on each other which is what mostly you all doing.

I can believe she said it in the first place but hey if that’s the way she feels then let it be and move on! DUH!

Honestly, this topic seems to have taken on a new life… There are, if you look, subsurface revelations far more interesting than her opportunistic illiterate banter… Many people have come into this topic, claiming to be of mixed heritage…lol It’s as if it’s this tag of superiority attached to it. I am not saying they’re lying (assuming that would be making it a big enough deal to lie about, thus affirming its believed “superiority”) but I am saying that people seem to be wearing it like a badge in this topic. Also, in another topic about Solange when some troll went on a hate-filled rant about skin tone, many posters were quick to assert their being lighter skinned while simultaneously admonishing the idiot for her rant.
Just looking, seeing…

I am so outdone with Beyawnce doing interviews and sticking her whole Manolo in her mouth. Get someone to teach you and help you do an interview so that while kissing the azz of one group of people, you don’t piss off a whole ‘nother group of people. Honestly, I’ve just had enough of her, and reading these ole simple azz quotes from her ain’t making it no better. I want her to go snuggle up with Joe Camel and hibernate for awhile.

TO # 3 who siad “I wonder what her AA female fans think of her now?” –

Exactly. I am not a beyonce fan, but my father is (go figure). I tell him how can he be a fan of someone who consistently says fucked up things in interviews. Now this! My father constantly is saying how I ought not to have low self esteem and be pround of who I am — but then you go and see and read things like this! Well anyway, I am proud of me. Beyonce only wishes she was latina because she wants to be shakira. I used to always say that Beyonce was copying Shakira’s look.

I agree LULA PEAR. I see these people who never flaunted a thing in their lives now roll up with Puerto Rican flags and bumper stickers and giving themselves nicknames like Spanish Mami. Whatever! I know this girl who was BLACK all through high school and now she’s “Jamaican and Spanish.” She says, “Do you know my papa is spanish and my mom is Jamaican.?” I am thinking: I’ve known you for 12 years, how come you are just not telling me this ..”

I’m disappointed that so many people think that as long as you have money it’s okay to be ignorant. I’m beside myself with this ‘business is business’ bullshyt. I mean, for real???? As long as it makes dollars, it makes sense? Stop it. And this whole “awww you hatin’ you hatin’” ish need to quit. I maintain that “hating” is when somebody got something that you wish you had and you mad at ‘em for it. Beyawnce ain’t got ISH I would trade my life for, and that’s real. A) I don’t worship money and B) I’d rather have poor wisdom than rich ignorance any day of the week. I keep reading “I mean, she didn’t say she wanted to be White” or “It ain’t like she ain’t proud to be black.” I watch what people say as well as what they DON’T say. If you hold anything that you are NOT in a higher esteem than what you ARE, that’s a problem. Moreover, why it got to be all the way bad (I wish I was White) before it becomes an issue?
This chick is role model to somebody, unfortunately, and so we can’t just gloss and glide over what she said. Okay. Chalk it up to she’s an idiot or she isn’t learned or she need a media coach. Okay. Fine. She SHOULD KNOW THIS BY NOW and the consumate professional would GET A MEDIA COACH, A BOOK and INVEST IN SOME KNOWLEDGE before letting the world get wind of how damn ignorant they are. There is a way to show gratitude to folks who support you without alienating others who care, or looking like an asshole in the process.
Being hot is good; being intelligent, humble, thoughtful and well-spoken is better.

OMG, PEOPLE!!! Beyonce does not have a damn complex about being a black woman, okay?? I love B, I’m a HUGE fan, all right? But I also know that she doesn’t give the best interviews at times…. okay, most of the time. All she was trying to do is suck up a little bit and it came out very very wrong! We know this! Why is everyone calling her stupid and retarded and saying she has a complex of some sort? “OMG, she doesn’t wanna be black! What a traitor!” Please! That girl is gorgeous and she knows it, even if she doesn’t flaunt it all the time. She doesn’t wish she was anyone or anything but her damn self. She made a mistake by not thinking her comment all the way through before she said it. Read the interview on the magazine website. You’ll see how short it is and how dumb the questions are. She was just trying to be friendly and she overdid it. She’s human. Get off her nuts and give the girl a break! Dayum!

No offense to the sexy latinas, but the following is just a joke based off “sterotypes”

OKay, so basically, Beyonce wants her a$$ in the front?

— And… Scene!

@367 I agree with what was said. She SHOULD know this by now, but clearly she doesn’t. Yes, she does need a media coach of some sort. However, everybody is holding this against her like she’s not allowed to make mistakes. I don’t think it’s fair for people to have blown this up like it has. 350+ comments? Majority of them saying what she needs to do? This has clearly been blown out of proportion. Like I said, she was just trying to be nice and friendly, and it came out terribly wrong. Now the girl has to probably release a statement apologizing for her comment, as well she should, which will most likely then subject her to more ridicule. I’ll be glad when people stop looking up to celebrities and expecting them to behave like angels. It’s not realistic.

That girl is gorgeous and she knows it, even if she doesn’t flaunt it all the time.

________________________________________________________________

Since WHEN?!?!?? She’s been flauting sexy since day ONE. Are we talking about the same Beyonce? Hmmmm…. okay.

If this was the first time I’d seen this type of ish coming out of her mouth, I probably wouldn’t give it more than a funny glance. But it’s not. And where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire. But of course, it’s the interviews’ fault for being too stupid and too short, right? At what point are we ever going to make “stars” accountable for the ish they say and do????

@371 Since WHEN?!?!?? She’s been flauting sexy since day ONE. Are we talking about the same Beyonce? Hmmmm…. okay.
—————————-
Okay, fine. I’m saying she doesn’t blatantly go “look how hot I am”. She does take sexy pictures and videos, but she’s an entertainer, it is her role. I’m saying when you see her in a DECENT interview or see her in those “out on the street/in public” pics, do you see her looking like a Paris Hilton or porn star or something? TRYING to be sexy? No, you don’t. That’s what I mean by “flaunt” it. And anyway, that’s beside the point I was trying to make. What I’m saying is the same as I said before:

“She doesn’t wish she was anyone or anything but her damn self. She made a mistake by not thinking her comment all the way through before she said it. She was just trying to be friendly and she overdid it. She’s human. Get off her nuts and give the girl a break! Dayum!”

Oh, and this too:

“Now the girl has to probably release a statement apologizing for her comment, as well she should, which will most likely then subject her to more ridicule. I’ll be glad when people stop looking up to celebrities and expecting them to behave like angels. It’s not realistic.”

LMFAO @ 290 sh-t all the blacks I know which are a lot and including myself and we like rice and beans too damnit lol. Beyonce’ might not know close to anything since she didn’t get pass high school…did she even graduate? Anyways I wonder if her Cuban friend laughed when she read Latina because my cuban friend read Latina a lot and she’d laugh Beyonce’ out.

Her stans on here are by far the worst I’ve seen….they will take up for her for ANYTHING (HENCE I love her BUT….) she says or does. It’s damn near amazing….my best friends aren’t even like they are lol.

OOPS my comment was to commenter number 289 lol.

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
———————————————————————————————-
LOL!! You captured the essence of the typical empty-headed Beyonce stan! With their excuse-ridden asses.

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.
