Beyonce needs to speak highly of her own culture and stop trying to be what she is not. She should be ashamed of herself, she clearly shows her lack of education. So sad...

That was not the best comment for Beyonce to make. I'm sure it was innocent statement.We as African Americans are so messed up when it comes to enbracing ourselves. That comment could be taken the wrong way. I wonder how all Beyonce dark friends feel?
If that what you want to be a Latino. Learn the language and you can pass. My want to be Latino sister.

After reading that statement, I knew there was a reason why she looks like a deer caught in the headlights.

BIG SEXXY GURL.....my sentiments EXACTLY. I guess she'll say ANYTHING, no matter how STUPID she sounds, to keep selling those CD's.

Well Joanne, since there are dark skinned latinos and latinas, I really don't think they'll care. Well maybe Kelly can relate since she always wanted to be light skinned. Kelly wants to be lighter, Beyonce wants to be latina, next thing we know, Michelle gonna wish she was a chinawoman.
