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.

93. She who wishes she was what she isn't must be wishing to be more than she is.
Old ancient proverb......

95. TMZ staff who wrote this article are the dumb ones, someone should be reading your articles before you post them with your poisonous stupidity.
Probably you're not old enough to be mature and understand exactly what Beyonce meant when she said what she said about wishing to be a latina.
When I see and hear people like you I wish I was a dog or a cat too, not to be related to people with such small brains who belong to the human race.

Good for you Beyonce! I understand you!

97. Is she that ashamed for what she is, that she wishes that she was born a Latina. Be proud of what you are. There's nothing wrong with being black.

99. I think we are all getting a little too worked up here, especially concerning the racial aspects of Beyonce's statement.

What we should all realize is what exactly Beyonce truly is...A Chicken Head with a bad weave!!!

100. 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

102. 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!

103. 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
