Beyonce: "I'm Just Jealous That I Wasn't Born Latina"

BeyonceRing the alarm! Buttastic Beyonce -- who is up for "Female Artist of the Year" at the VMAs -- tells Latina Magazine, "I'm just jealous that I wasn't born Latina. I wish I had been because the culture is so beautiful." If Beyonce is going to attempt to voice an original thought, perhaps she should write it down and read it first!

Bey may have put her high-heeled foot in her mouth with this one! Somebody let this woman know that appreciating a culture is great, but actually wishing (and perhaps morphing) yourself into it is a little annoying. The sultry singer goes on to say, "
I noticed a big difference between speaking to all of the Latino stations and speaking to the pop stations or the other stations. With the Latino stations, there was so much love and everyone is so genuine." Is anyone listening out there? Hola?!

Where was Beyonce's mother, Ms. Tina, or even Jay-Z when this was going on?! From now on this girl needs a chaperone to monitor all statements! Her booty is legendary, but she shouldn't speak out of it.

92. My daughter from my first marriage is half Cuban. As a Latina, she is chased all over hell and high water by white boys! Must be that tushy!

93. SO SHE APPRECIATES THE LATINO CULTURE SO MUCH, SHE HONESTLY STATES SHE IS JEALOUS SHE WASN'T BORN A LATINA.....BIG FREAKING DEAL. ITS A BEAUTIFUL CULTURE. I'M A BLACK WOMAN, AND I LOVE THAT TO PIECES, HOWEVER I CAN DEFFINATELY APPRECIATE THE LATINO CULTURE AND HOW THEIR BOND WITH FAMILY IS RESPECTED, THE LOVE FOR MUSIC, FOOD, DANCE, SO ON AND SO ON.
I'M SURE SOME OF YOU, OR MAYBE MOST OF YOU ARE JEALOUS OF SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T HAVE AND NEVER CAN. SHE'S JUST SECURE ENOUGH WITH HERSELF TO BE ABLE TO VOICE HER THOUGHTS.

BEYONCE HATER NATION STRIKES AGAIN. OR MAYBE YOU IDIOTS ARE JEALOUS YOU WEREN'T BORN BEYONCE. BE HONEST NOW...

94. She gave great compliments to the Latino community. People think too much into things. Race is very touchy in the States. Even when you compliment a race people see something negative about it. Shame

96. Freedom of speach,
You have white girl just want to be black for one day with the braids in their hair
You have hipanic and mexican that want to be black for one day with the baggy pant
You have chinesse and latina just want to be black for one day doing the superman dance and walking it out
So why come it is so wrong for her just to be a latina for one day
Say we should take a good look at ourselves, before looking at others
There are married couples, woman want to dress up in men clothing and men want to dress up in woman clothings just for one day
Oh yeap don't forget about the poor want to be rich and the rich want to be poor for oneday

Say B what I love about you that you speak your mind and don't never let nobody speak for you because they want never say it the way you would

May God bless

Father have mercy on us

Love

98. I am LATINA and very very proud of it! I of course don't see anything wrong with her comment. The problem here is that some people keep this type of comments to themselves and when somebody says it people get alarmed. For me all cultures have something beautiful about them,but the one thing you can't deny is that the Latino culture is very rich and people are very warm unlike some or I could say most Americans. And about the Radio stations the difference is very clear and she's right because I've being a Spanish Radio Director myself and they are very different than the American stations in the way they treat people. I also think it doesn't matter where she's from cause for me she's a great artist!

99. Sounds like B needs to hang with some gringos. Z don't care, he's chasin blond tail in Vegas most of the time.

100. Beyonce doesn't look all black - like Halle Berry.
Her mother isn't all black. I think shes half white.

101. I'm an African-American woman and I do not take offense at all to Beyonce's comments. I am sure that B is proud to be black. What's so wrong with admiring a culture with a rich and beautiful history? This is especially true when these same peoples have received you so well. Please people, stop the nonsense. I do not think there was any deeper meaning into Beyonce's comments.

BTW, based upon the commenst about Hispanic men, I may have to give them a second look ;)

102. Elisabeth..............Um........have you read or seen anything about Miss Britney Spears lately? I don't think she has much up on Beyonce. Britney is a real mess at this time. And she most definetly is not pretty or nice. She has some serious issues that needs to be dealt with. I'm sorry, but she is not a positive role model for anyone! Ewwwwwwwwwww!!!!

103. Beyonce is such a Poooooooooooooooooooooooooooser SELL-OUT!!!!!! As a person who actually speaks and understands Spanish it's obvious that she has no idea what she's saying when she sings in Spanish. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO annoying!! ARGH! She's just singing in Spanish so she can sell more records.
Oh yeah, and she might want to work on not falling down stairs and flashing people during performances.

104. Please leave the racist comments out of it. Yes, TMZ has more than their share of racists posting. However, when you make similar racists comments about white people, you are really no better. Lead by example.
