33. I really dont think this is a big deal!!! Number im black so I have the right comment and number 2 everyone is photoshoped no matter race, orgin, body type or etc. Just get over it!!! I understand this is your job but can you come up with something that people will actually want to read???

34. They probably lightened her skin because the contrast btw. her skin color and hair color didn't look good. Personally, I think if they had left her with her natural skin color it would've made the hair color look super fake. And the haircolor is what they're trying to sell - not beyonce. People are too quick to cry racism. Guess it's easier to do that then use your brain and some common sense!

35. Oh, plz, TMZ, quit trying to start s**t. Beyonce has been "white" with blonde hair for awhile now; the pic on the left looks like she used too much L'Oreal self-tanning creme --- or has been photoshopped by the jizz @ TMZ.

36. Beyonce Williams looks white because SHE wants to look white. Just like so many other black women. They love to say how they're proud of their heritage, and they'll take full advantage of the race issue (if it's to THEIR advantage), but they still gotsta have a white woman's hair.

Black women - you hair is frizzy and black. That's how it is. It's getting ridiculous to see some of these LaShondas with staright, long blonde hair or those ludicrous sculptured 'do's that look like the goddamn eiffel tower w/ feathers...as if that makes them attractive to rich black NBA players. Face it, LaSqueeshia.... when a black guy gets rich he's STILL gonna dump you for a REAL white woman.

Be as proud to be black as you say you is.... go back to your ROOTS.

37. As if they need a reason to be offended...thats just who they are...bitter and miserable and looking to be offended. perpetual victims..and they revel in it. lame.

Posted at 12:55PM on Aug 6th 2008 by blacks are ALWAYS offened

38. Why does everything have to turn into a race issue? It's getting old real fast.

39. How can you even ask the question is this a slam on blacks? Is everybody going to get offended about everything? Good grief! It's not like Beyonce' didn't get paid and I wouldn't be surprised to find out she had a say in the final result either - or her people. I'm highly offended by White Trash and Typical White People but you don't see me out carrying signs on the street, now do ya? GET OVER YOURSELVES.

40. The thing is that black skin is ugly. Sorry. While black women can sometimes be beautiful (when they don't have huge foreheads, big lips, broad nose, etc.) the overly charred skin will always be a turn-off.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

42. Its the left photo that looks weird to me. She has always been fairly light skinned.

43. She's getting PAID.

I'm sure they can make her Asian, Caucasian, or Malaysian, she doesn't care. Just make sure she gets PAID.

44. For comments 34,35 and 37

You are racist pigs. I am a black woman and I am proud of my heritage. You can't say honestly that all blacks want to be white. I guess I can say all white woman want to be black because they lie in the sun trying to get what we naturally have (beautiful brown skin) The only difference is 5 to 10 yrs later they look like prunes and we still have our beauty.
oh yeah if the sun does not work, you have spray on tans, tanning bedding. Why not just be yourself.

45. She is being paid to use their product. It is hair color people, the color is suppose to change. How would this offend Black people? STUPID POST!
