Beauty
L'Oreal/Beyonce Whitewash

Unless she just got vitiligo -- L' Oreal has some serious splaining to do about its bleached out Beyonce ad!
Beyonce
The ad features a severely Photoshopped Beyonce -- almost unrecognizable. So the question ...

77. Beyonce is a beautiful black woman, why does she feel it necessary to look like a white girl? This is the image we minorities are trying to get out of our young girls/women’s heads. Brown is beautiful, that is why white people spend hundreds of dollars each time they get a fake tan, trying to imitate our brown color. Even though they end up looking a hideous dark orange..lol. Beyonce has officially sold out.

78. It is really photoshoped but I can't imagine they are trying to make her look white, it probably was a bad pic that they had to touch up a lot and that was the result. If they wanted a white woman for the picture I'm sure they have white models they could have used.

79. 45 Soundoff! OMG, African-American? Another name (just like the n-word) the white man came up with & tried to shove down everyones throats. I am most defintely proud to be a black woman!!! My hair is not nappy, and my name is not "Laquita". The same steretypes that "you people" have put out there to belittle others in an attempt to make yourselves (racists) look better, is just another cowardly attempt at hiding behind your own shame. Why are you so angry at the black culture? Is it because we have grown to be a culture to be reckoned with? Or is it because we have become educated? Perhaps, it is because you have no other race to bully!! The world has changed, change is good. There are so many different beautiful people of different races on this earth. We embrace them all, they are our neighbors, friends, co-workers, mentors and more. But a bitter, angry, ignorant person such as yourself will never understand or accept this. Your the fool! Spew your poison elsewhere, we don't want it here!!!!

81. I agree with # 35. I don't think black people are pretty. Unless your half white. Ex: Halle Berry, Alicia Keys, Jada Pinkett Smith.....

82. She looks black to me..Its the lighting.Plus the large amount of makeup on her face that is the wrong shade for her..

85. #71 Jada Pinkett is ugly, Alcia Keys is ugly and so is Halle Berry.
Beauty is Beyonce, Angela Bassett, Queen Latifah,Tyra, Vivica Fozz, and a host of other black people. Halle Berry is not cute, I don't care what you people say, her nose is fake, Alicia Keys is cross eyed, and Jada Pinkett look like a man. Yo ucan say black people are ugly until the cows come home, but what about your old raggedy, wrinlky , burned, fake,STD asses, smartness. I know for a fact our men are def. the most attractive in this world.

86. ok people, how hypocritical are you!!! ON BOTH SIDES!!! You want equality and to stop racism yet you are debating who is better looking blacks or whites??? That is f'n sick. I'm white, I have curly BLACK hair, and boobs and a bum OH AND I DANCE WELL! But because of that I'm trying to be black??? GET OVER YOURSELF!!! My parents are irish... hence the curly black hair, I figure skated my whole life... hence the bum and I took dance classes for 15 years so shut the f*** up before you judge people because they have something in common with you! Can't you just look at a person and say they are beautiful instead of saying they are trying to look or be something else. I know a lot of gorgeous black, white, asian, spanish etc people that are beautiful because of their own qualities... seriously get over yourselves!

87. Personally, I think they lightened her skin to go with the HAIR COLOR. Since that is what they are selling is HAIR COLOR. Not SKIN COLOR.

88. She's not only lighter, her nose is longer.

89. Beyonce loves to be black, number 53, why would she want to be white....have you seen what you all look like as you leave your 30's? LMAO Black people have way too much flavor to want to be another color. w/o blacks this world would be bland as hell.

90. First of all, do you idiots know what the magazines and television peole did to blacks in the 50's and 60's? they used to whiten black people to make us more apealing to white people. Does anyone know american history? I guess not. the only history people know about black people is getting arrested. Does anyone know that this is the reason why we are not in the main stream fashion mags cause we are black. loreal knew just what they were doing. How dare some of you people brush this off like it is nothing. I am black and very offended. Beyonce is a black women and she needs to be presented as a black women. Its all about making us blend in and strip us of our natural beauty that white america doesnt understand. Free your mind people and look beyond the surface.
