Beyonce: Who's The Fairest of Them All?

76. What....she can't just magically make her self look "whiter."

77. I REALLY THINK THE LIGHTER HAIR ACCOMPANIED WITH THE LIGHT FROM THE PHOTO SHOOT CAN MAKE HER LOOK LIGHTER. SHE IS ALREADY A LIGHT SKINNED AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN! HER HAIR EVEN MAKES HER EYES POP MORE. IT'S ALL IN THE HAIR COLOR AND THE LIGHTING... THAT'S IT!

78. Dare I say ...The MEDIA!!!Them and their "IT" girls? The public...all men (well many men) want the blonde haired big boobed, flat rear, half-starved looking white girl/woman. Look at what is representing your culture. The white guys, black guys ,Asian guys... all want the "dumb" big boobed blonde out there who is so hot because the media tells them that's who men want. They want the supermodel,not so good girl, party girl. Now I personally don't believe all the hype, but that's the message that is being put out there in the MEDIA about white women. Think about , young girls are acting dumb to be like you know who and others. They are taking half naked pics of themselves, and making out with females (not talking about lesbians here) , and flashing their breast at anyone with a video camera who says they are pretty and sexy. You know this is true. You as a white female , and others like you, need to work on helping your young girls/ women feel better about themselves (if you are not doing this already). The reality is that the images out there about white females are really hurting you guys in the long run. Many of these girls aren't looking up to doctors, lawyers, teachers, politicians etc...they want to be the "next best thing." I do not mean to offend anyone , and I am not trying to be racist, I'm just telling you what I see. And yes, I know we need to work on our images too, not every black girl/ woman wants to be a groupie , or in a booty shaking video either nor is she carring a baby on her hip with four "baby daddies". Nor do we all walk aroung with our huge a$$es hanging out and every other sterotype you can think of. We all need to get our acts together and try to do more for these young women who really want the help, and this goes for all races. I don't know what is wrong with these young people (black and white) believing that being DUMB is a good thing . And having babies? Damn making a pact ? What the ...I'm just saying...

So it's really the blondes you hate, not just whites in general?
And per your post it's fair to catagorize everyone based on some?
And the pact..that's your "slam" on whites? Catagorizing again.
How long have you been racist?
Who taught you this, mommy and daddy?
If I were racist I'd say: did you even know your daddy?

How's that feel?

79. Beyonce is a light-skinned Black person. She has always been a light-skinned Black person. She looks like her mother, who is also a light-skinned Black person. You people are morons. Stop hating.

80. Hey you people are sooooooooo clueless, #1) Beyonce's mom is Creole, #2) my daughter is 1/2 black and 1/2 cuban, she is "light skinned" and on some days her skin looks a little darker. I think it is hormonal.... never the less my daughter like Beyonce' has the most beautiful golden skin, good hair and beautiful bodies and all the white and black b@#%ches are jealouse... Hatefully jealous, because all of the men think women like this are HOT! They don't have to even try to tan, I used to tell my daughter when she was little that the sun follows her and gives her a littel kiss, she doesn't have to lay out in the sun and get wrinkles. Beyonce' you are soooooooo gorgeous, they are jealouse and that is all there is to it.

81. This is all just really stupid if you ask me she makes her self look different all the time I mean damn she used to have blonde hair. Some times she looks darker and sometimes she looks lighter it just depends on the light. But really the only thing that matters is that she doesn't have a problem with the ad and doesn't think all the stupid things other people do. So drop it!!!!

Read the post again!!!Maybe you will lean something. I said that was THE IMAGE!!!And the PACT thing was not a slam on any race it was on the mentality of young people, and how they are influenced by what they see. It was an attack on the images that these young people are exposed to- JUNO won an Oscar. Angelina gets 14 Mil for having kids out of wedlock . And the idea that Jamie Lynn made a million for being a teen mom. That's the IMAGE . Take off those rose colored glasses dear and look at how you are seen by the real world. I DID type , "Now I personally don't believe all the hype, but that's the message that is being put out there in the MEDIA about white women." re-read and you will see that line in there.
PS. For the record , my parents were married for over 30 years before God seperated them. Can you say that about YOURS?????

85. This is starting to sound like the plot for another Undercover Brother movie: The Man is making the advertisers lighten the complextions of the sisters.

86. i mean there are soooo many whites who 'wanna be black' sooo many asians who 'wanna be black or white'...what's the big deal of a black person 'wanning to be white' ?? if this is even the case. people really just want to be people and not someone's verbal emotional punching bag. well at least i think.

87. Yes she went out of her way to make herself look like she did in the ad so that you have something to write about. You guys are ridiculous. Seriously. Like she has nothing better to do.

88. do any white people EVER complain that they've gotten TOO TAN?, oh no then that would be racist of us.
Get of your decades old BLACK POWER TRIPS YOU PEOPLE. we don't act like yall do. we don't have a bunch of offices of blackness to help stir up a bunch of "racist flag wavin" movements.

just get off it.

89. What about all the brunette, dark eyed beauties making it in Hollywood - Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock, or Catherine Zeta-Jones, how about back in the day with Audrey Hepburn, Vivien Leigh, Raquel Welch, to name just a few brunettes, -have they all compromised their exposure & been kept from any real success by keeping their dark hair? I bet if you looked into it, just as many dark haired women have been voted Best Actress or were Ms. America as blondes - that kinda throws out their excuse (another one) of "Beyonce HAD to change her appearance to be blonde/appear white to be accepted into white culture, to have any real chance in America" - ridiculous - dont blame what Beyonce decided HERSELF looks best on her on RACISM - that is UTTERLY & HYSTERICALLY STUPID. Dont you EVER get tired of blaming white people for EVERYTHING lame in your lives???

Posted at 3:34PM on Aug 14th 2008 by of course its whiteys fault beyonce chose her own hair color !!

90. LEAVE BEYONCE ALOOONNNEEEE!!!!!!
