B's B'Day

Beyonce Knowles: Click to watchBeyoncé Knowles celebrated her 25th birthday by jetting to Japan and promoting her new CD. On the eve of her album's release, Knowles wowed the 10,000+ crowd by performing six songs at a Tokyo concert.

The pop diva got a little surprise herself when she was presented with a giant birthday cake while the Japanese audience sang her "Happy Birthday" -- in English.

Knowles told a group of journalists earlier in the day, "It is very special for me, I will be 25 and that is such a significant year in a woman's life and this album, I think, is the best music I have made, so it is a great birthday present for myself."

21. You know whats funny, its not funny to call a black person a gorilla or a ****** but people call themselves that , Ex. like G-UNIT and NWA, but when a white person saids ****** or gorilla then its an insult, im not racist in no way, I have black in my family but I think racism comes from all sides including black people themselves with white people, always on comedy and in songs thay talk in a racist way about white people, thats just said how the world will never change with racism,people should think before they talk, I dont think those name are in any way right either!!

26. yes beyonce is black but just in case you haven't look at her lately it's pretty obvious she has white ancestory. Her family is from Louisiana, possibly New Orleans I'm not sure but if you were awake in history class you would remember that during slavery times the mixing of French Europeans and the slaves resulted in french creole culture which dominates most of Louisiana where beyonce's grandfather was from.

28. Beyonce is Black and so is her mother. MOST black people in america now of days have white blood in there veins. Back in slavery times the white master rapped the black women and they had their babies. My mother was a white master's daughter that was sent of the plantation because he didn't want her there when she was born. So my mother was adopted because she couldn't stay with her family. This went on alot. So you can't find to many black folks now of days that don't have white blood flowing in there veins. One day everyone will be of the same race.

30. Lela:
Regarding your statement/comment on September 5th, Beyonce was never poor. Do you know her past and upbringing? Obviously not because you could not have made that ignorant comment. Beyonce's father was a top executive and her mother owned a beauty parlor. I understand the hate though, because Lela, you are obviuosly from the trailer park, you may be dirt poor and only people like you wish the same for others, but sorry, Beyonce always had a good life, sorry yours isn't! Happy Birthday Birthday Beyonce! FYI, just to challenge your stupidity, how many parents could walk away from their top job just to focus on thier daughter's career if they did not have the financial means to do so? Lela, get educated, please, GED, anything!
