This should be filed under “who cares” because meanwhile, education disparity is at an all-time high and we are getting ready to graduate a group of african american high school seniors where low SATs and GPAs and skills are at an all time high.

i think they should make a small book picture book of their so called wedding and sell it to the people for 50.00. 100.00 for autographs 105.00 to add a pack of bubble gum. house of dereon gum

How do they expect to get top dollar for wedding photos when they can’t even confirm themselves that they are married, newsflash to beyonce- *****ody gives a damn



donovan

4/11/08, 09:12:am

Please! If black celebs don’t sell then they don’t sell. That’s not racist that’s just good business. When’s the last time you bought something because Beyonce was on the cover… I’ll wait. Beyonce doesn’t garner any interest into her personal life because she is a press bot, very beauty queen in her approach to the media, not a real person we care about and want to know every detail about. Britney Spears on the other hand let’s it all hang out people are addicted to her private life, so yes she does sell covers, and no beyonce does not.

Besides they are boring Jay Z is interesting Bey has been the same since 8 years ago. Nothing new to report there

Peope are getting bored

4/11/08, 09:16:am

Um, I was in Walmart on yesterday and beyonce and Jay-Z were on the cover. Not on the side but huge as hell in the middle. Bossip, please check your facts.

However, I do think that they down play black celebs. But we also don’t buy as many of those mags as our white counter parts so of course they are going to put white folks on the cover. They are trying to make money. DUH! Black people buy the majority of black mags so they mostly put black celebs on the cover. DUH!

4/11/08, 09:17:am

Who don’t care about Black folks News?! The media hypes everything up in the first place, so when they do follow Black folks that’s when people will care.

*But at the same time I’m glad they don’t follow Black celebs every single moment, because this way all the White people will continue to look bad.

They don’t realize it but it’s keeping the White people down. And when they mess up for every little thing people lose respect.

Look at Paris, Brittany, Hillary, etc.

I agree with you….I wouldnt see my ***** to none of those *****s!!!!!



Lady Architect

4/11/08, 09:21:am

donovan,

I agree with you. IF you think about it how long has Jay and Bee been together..6years. The mainstream media can care less about their marriage because they basically lived as if they were married for years and honestly Bey is very overexposed. Not that I agree with Britt being on the cover, but it sells and mags are gonna put out what readers buy so they can make money. Besides that, if they put out the same covers about Bey that they do about Britt than black ppl would be mad saying that they use us for negativity. I say let them make the fools of their own, it doesn’t bother me. These black celebrities need to sell to mags like S2S, jet, essence, ebony, black enterprise, today’s black women, etc. to uplift our own instead of shooting for people because they put in the highest bid just to be on pg 15.



He's Presidential

4/11/08, 09:22:am

At Southern Belle they were on the cover of US Weekly. Normally white stars are on the cover of all them.. When something big happens. But I dont want to see bey or jay either I rather read about it online because in mags when Bey was on the cover in all the mags she always says the samething.. I’d rather read about Alicia, Jurnee and Halle etc



Ms. Sugar Walls

Isn’t Eva Longoria Mexican and her husband black? Didn’t they have a big castle wedding that they had talked about in interviews months prior and invited other celebs to… Didn’t Jay and B do some undercover small ‘don’t ask don’t tell wedding’?



Don't mind me

4/11/08, 09:27:am

Exactly theres only show much of that gurl you can see before you have seen it all before and lets face it she doesn’t interest you with her mentality or points of view because she doesn’t pocess such things.

Make her drop on her face though and that will be on the news lol

True. But even when “the Others” do private, hush hush ceremonies, the media stalk them to try to get a pic.



Don't mind me

4/11/08, 09:30:am

If you put someone on the cover you have to atleast fill two pages of something interesting about them

I don’t enjoy the sound that comes out of rhi or beys mouths and thats my opinion.

4/11/08, 09:31:am

o common bossip dont say its racist:

its business:

fact is people are more intresting in whats going on in britney’s life, than jay-z and beyonce marriage, so what they are married….there is really nothing new going on in beyonce and jay-z life they just boring …..but britney… ***** everyday is pure excitiment, something new at all time …so people are more intresting in buying those magazine …i am black person and to tell the truth i prefer to buy a magazine with britney, or jennifer aniston on the cover over beyonce and jay-z anytime ……

Taj

4/11/08, 09:34:am

DONOVAN makes a very good point. People want to feel as if they can empathize with celebrities who are going through things. Beyonce’s personality comes across as somewhat “mechanical”, and not necessarily genuine.

IF they choose to never show their wedding photos, good for them. You have to have something sacred and private in your life that is your very own.



Shavon Denise

4/11/08, 09:34:am

I have been saying that about magazines and Hollywood in general forever. Look at the landscape of America though, they’re going to cater to the majority and to who they feel are the most important. Thats why you dont hear about Raven Simone, who is worth $300 mil, but you hear about that talentLESS Hanna Montana. TRAGIC

@ torpical breeze- pleasant name

I agree



valenne

4/11/08, 09:36:am

again,

there are only 12 % of black people in this country. 36 millions of black and more than 170 Millions of White, why the media should focus on Black! We are a minority, if they ever have to put a black person on the cover, they are also going to put a white person. Just like Lebron james and Gisele.

Woman like Eva longoria or Jlo or even Beyonce in a way have been adopted by White America because they could p***** for white woman!But you would not see Mary J blige on a cover of a white magazine!



Think About It

4/11/08, 09:37:am

The world does have racist people in it…but I don’t think that the price your pics sell for is racist. I think that J Lo or Angelina Jolie on a cover will sell more than Beyonce. Beyonce looks better than both…but statistically in the USA…there are less black people to buy the magazine that white people. With people like J lo…spanish people are very loyal and will buy the magazine because of that. I don’t see many black people reading things like People Magazine. We read Essence and Black Enterprise.



Don't mind me

4/11/08, 09:37:am

Lets face it Jay is not photogentic. It’s hard to see that close up and no expression he pulls helps.



valenne

4/11/08, 09:38:am

In the case of beyonce wedding, i really don’t think that the media were trying to cover it because we had pictures of invitees, flowers, etc… so it is not like they did not care AT ALL!

Plus i see Beyonce on a cover of People magazine i think yesterday so i am not sure all this debate should include Beyonce!

I beg to differ



AZShakur

4/11/08, 09:41:am

I’m actually happy not to see a black celeb on one of those white mags. The only time they put one of us on the cover is b/c we’ve *****ed up. They don’t want to promote the fact that a black couple actually got married. But Brittany on the other hand is a derailed train running wild off of the tracks. The reason everyone is interested is b/c they are waiting on the crash. Everyone loves to see a train wreck.

yall r missing the point…its not about bey and jay its about how alot of things go on in the black commmunity but the media mags who are supposed to report on any race celebrity is not giving black celebrities the time of day…but they will give other minorities such as mexican or hispanics the time of day…some ppl just cant realize mainstream society will always treat blacks like second cl***** citizens…we dont get paid as much as they do even if we work the same job for the same company…and blacks should boycott mainstream mags

They shouldn’t even worry about it…They should keep making their money, gaining power to make changes, & living their lives. Then they should make the necessary changes to prevent much of this segregation from happening. We also need to reach a day where you don’t have to cross over to certain media outlets to be considered mainstream.

I agree Stefany. Most posters here kept saying it they want privacy then its their business, yet now that bossip has brought up the fact that they are not being covered by the rags its racist.

I personally don’t believe their married (thats me). The other celebs that wanted private weddings didnt keep their union a secret they just didnt want the media at the service still everyone knew of the wedding. These two want to play hide and seek and it could just bite them in the *****. God I hope.

Lady Architect

4/11/08, 09:58:am

valenne,

I agree about you saying that Beyonce, Eva, and Jlo get on those covers because they are close to white looking at times. If you ever notice when Jlo had that dark black hair she didn’t much media attention until she lighten that hair up and was wearing blonde. Beyonce you will never catch her on a cover with dark hair and the same with Eva or even Tyra. All of these stars of course look better with their natural darker hair IMO but they adopt the Eurpoean straight blonde hair so must really wanna be in these white mags. Either way they are not doing much sales and People will notice that with this new cover and they will probably premier a new cover immediately.

keliss

4/11/08, 10:00:am

Jay and Bee are not on the cover because they are not giving out any info. Their inner circle of family and friends aren’t revealing either. (Note to self, choosing your inner circle is very important.) Only bits and pieces have been allowed to leak. I’m sure they choose them theirselves. Trust if they wanted too, the could have any mag they want writing about their wedding. They choose not too. Beyonce has graced the cover of almost every white magazine possible. So, she is definitely accepted by mainstream media. Beyonce and Jay don’t frequent tabloids because the are hardworking, successful, rich, black folks that are not doing crazy things like Britney! Let Britney keep the tabloids. Jay and Bee are too distinguished.

4/11/08, 10:01:am

Jogger,

I co-sign what you said. Eva Longoria was talking about getting engaged, the marriage, and everything for a while. That built up interest. They flew out to France. They were not together for SIX years. There is no comparison. Beyonce and Jay-Z refuse to confirm that they are married. They had tight security. When they were about to get married EVERY media outlet was reporting on it. Did you forget that PEREZ HILTON was the first to scoop the marriage? People magazine covered the details up until Friday. However, NO ONE has any photos or enough info to make a full (and interesting) story out it. If there are no photos, I don’t care about it.

I agree and dont even think white people are seeing race. They are seeing dollar signs. They don’t give a damn who the person is. They are just trying to make a buck. It just so happens that minorities are the easiest to get bought out so quickly where as non ethnic celebs will deal better. Also for the most part we don’t do crazy ***** like brittney, paris, and lilo. There is no money is watching us. They was bizaree nasty ***** and black folks in general don’t do that. The crazy ish we do is usually chalked up to “that’s how blacks are” and applied to everyone, i.e. every black man is a robber, gang banger, basketball or football star and every black woman wants rough sex, has at least 3 kids, and a bad attitude.

Nothing about Beyonce and Jay Z are distinguished.. Beyonce is a robot she has no personality her only personality is Sasha when she is on stage. Besides that I have never heard her speak like Alicia, Rhianna, Jennifer H and even Kelly or Michelle.. I mean I have never heard her opinion about anything in all of her years on being in the public eye. She seems to give simple answers whenever she does magazine interviews. I mean besides being worth 54 million dollars who is this woman. Besides a go getter of money.

I HOPE THEY DON’T SELL THERE PICS….IT WASN’T A BIG DEAL BECAUSE THEY KEPT IT UNDER WRAPS..WHATEVER!!

_________________________________________________

Exactly! They don’t want anyone seeing pics so why does it matter, I hate when people dig up dumb stuff for NO REASON whatsoever, I mean did Bey TRY to sell her wedding pics NO! So whats the fuss about?

Were there not paparazzi camped out in front of Jay Z’s pad all day and night? Did Jay and B not do everything they could to make sure that the paps did NOT get a shot of them? It’s true, black covers don’t sell as well…but I think it’s because there are more white people than black people actually buying those mags!

Is Ebony going to put Britney Spears on their cover?? NO!! And would it sell? HELL NO.

4/11/08, 10:20:am

i think we still need nea magazine!

It s just a question of representation. We don’t have the same needs in term of hair, skin care, we don’t have the same taste in term of foods etc..,

we don’t have the same issues so i don’t see the big deal. I can sometimes buy a “white magazine” but it s more for FASHION!

4/11/08, 10:21:am

Why is everyone so worried what Jay and Bee would have gotten for wedding pics, when there not even admitting to being married.. And why is it such a big deal?? They don’t want you to know, so why would you want to know?? but bet they want you to buy ther music and watch there movies though.. so over the both of them.. don’t want to hear anything else about this mystery wedding, upcoming records, or movies… move on with life, without those two… Camel face and horse breath… take that take that

Everything about Beyonce is distinguished. She has dined with Presidents, Kings, Queens,and Princes. She has collaborated with legends like Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, Bono, Tina Turner, to name a few. She has traveled the world over and have done things that few have done. She covered Sports Illustrated, Harpers Bazaar, Glamour, Better Homes and Garden, Vanity Fair, Elle, Seventeen,GQ, Spin, Ebony, Essence, Jet, Giant,Marie Claire, FHM, Maxim, Blender, Rollingstone, Self to name a few.

I can agree on that because I see those same sorry magazines at the checkout in stores and I refuse to thumb through them only because I’m so very tired of seeing skanky a$$ trailer park trash Britney Spears and her Jerry Springer issues on some of these covers….however I feel that if they would perhaps put more cl*****y individuals on their covers they’d sell better….

LOL, this is funny. They are not on the covers because they are not sharing! Every mag would kill to be the one with their wedding pics. It is quite obvious that they have no intention of selling them. Do you all have any ideal how much Bee commands for birthday parties and private parties? Anyway, I would love for them to sit down with Ebony and invite them into their home for an interview one day in the future.

Okay but lyrically dont go there with Beyonce because her lyrics mean nothing but to shake her booty swing her lace front wig and go down low with it. She has yes shared a stage with Tina Turner, Sung w Luther on his song. And showed her scantily clad body on some of those magazines and what. All the interviews are still the same. I mean I jam BDay when its time to cut up a rug. But I do in no way look up to her as a someone with cl*****. I like the Alicia Keys the Fantasias who can go to Africa and give their time. I like the entertainers who are selfless. Like Bono, Janet, Angelina, Oprah even Rhianna has a foundation.

4/11/08, 10:32:am

Maybe when they actually confirm being married somebody will show genuine interest in the photos.

There’s not even a scandal around it. They got married on a roof w/15 people there. Come on.

I’m sure Bee looked how she looks when she performs or on the red carpet & Jay looks just as he does when he hosts parties.

4/11/08, 10:36:am

This post isn’t true. I was at the store yesterday and Beyonce/Jay-Z’s wedding was on the cover of People, In Touch, and some other magazines. They would have been on more if they confirmed the marriage and the media had pictures of the wedding especially of beyonce in her wedding dress. The Post said that Beyonce wouldn’t get as much money as Eva Longoria because of her race, but the last time I checked Tony Parker was black.

I agree, if Fantasia, K. Cole, C*****ie, Cheri Dennis, Amerie or any of the latter danced like Bee or had as many crotch shots, nipple slips, or cheeks showing they would get taken to the town square, stoned, burned at the stake, slandered and sent out for being a w*****. Lol…

4/11/08, 10:45:am

I’ll agree that the media is racist, but I bet if Beyonce/Jay-Z made their wedding known and they had pics, it would have gotten more press. I don’t agree that all black celebrities would get paid very little in comparison to whites. If Oprah got married, every single magazine would put her on the cover and she would get paid big $$$. When I was in Asia last year, her magazine was in every store that I went to and in the front.

Nothing about Beyonce and Jay Z are distinguished.. Beyonce is a robot she has no personality her only personality is Sasha when she is on stage. Besides that I have never heard her speak like Alicia, Rhianna, Jennifer H and even Kelly or Michelle.. I mean I have never heard her opinion about anything in all of her years on being in the public eye. She seems to give simple answers whenever she does magazine interviews. I mean besides being worth 54 million dollars who is this woman. Besides a go getter of money.

Everything you just said is something I’ve heard others say and i still don’t understand where you get it from. I’ve heard her, not read in a mag, give her opinion lots of times. She must like Janet Jackson come alive on stage and are more reserved and quiet in person. I don’t see anything wrong with that. Just because she isn’t loud and crazy like everyone else in her personal life and chooses to keep her private like PRIVATE doesnt’ mean she doesn’t have a personality. Perhaps you just don’t like her personality, which is fine.

There could possibly be some validity to this because we are STILL living in a racist world. But if Bey/Jay are more concerned about who’ll get the highest bid for their pics, then the marriage it self than that speaks volume about their relationship. If I was a celebrity/had money in the bank already/married the man of my dreams; I would be concerned with how much I get for my wedding pics because it’s sentimental anyway. Peace everyone!!!

Ummm…Beyonce does have a foundation. It’s called the Survivor Foundation and was established after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. She and Kelly Rowland have a youth recreation center in Houston and last year, they had a 4 million dollar apartment complex built for the Hurricane victims. Plus, Beyonce plans on giving a portion of her proceeds she will make from “Cadillac Records” to the foundation in support of drug addicts.

But you have a good point. I would like to see her get involved in more AIDS causes.

For the ppl that keeps comparing Beyonce with JLo and Eva Longoria. I dont see the comparison. Even though Beyonce is light she is black. JLo and Eva may be Latino, but they are white Latino. Latino isn’t a race its a culture. I dont know if any of u guys have travelled to the Latin countries, but they are broken down in categories, White, black, coloured and so on and so on. When they come to America they put them self in one group “Latino” ,but not when they are back home. And dont give me that “well Beyonce is creole” Pas Qui Mwen Sé Kwéyòl Too.

I have just seen PEOPLE MAGAZINE’s latest cover and beyonce is on it plus US WEEKLY. ISN’T PEOPLE THE ”WHITEST MAG IN AMERICA”. This has nothing to do with racism. There were NO PICTURES OF THE WEDDING. *****ODY LANDED THE EXCLUSIVE. How then would the other mags have made it a cover story if there were no pictures of the event to back it up. For their cover, PEOPLE scooped up an old picture of beyonce and so did US.

4/11/08, 11:14:am

Well, for one thing they are being so unnecessarily “secretive” about it. As I understand it, even up to this point, they still have not announced that they were even wed. I think no photos were released and the mags were not tipped off about the upcoming nuptuals… if they even took place. So, I think it’s not the same.



BOSSIP IS BEING STUPID!

4/11/08, 11:18:am

Eva & Tony’s wedding was a much hyped affair in a castle in France that’ why it got so much publicity. Beyonce’s wedding was a big secret, nothing was said about it to drum up interest like the other weddings. And they didn’t hold the wedding in a magnificient arena or anything because apparently they wanted to keep it low. Even as of yesterday Rihanna said she didn’t know about it. They didn’t broadcast their wedding the way the other celebs did. BOSSIP knows this but they want to incite ***** today to keep people coming to this site to post a comment. So just think about it people. Even Beyonce and JayZ didn’t consider their wedding to be a big deal publicity wise, so why should we care. BOSSIP really need to stop all this instigating because sometimes the folks who run this site are worst than the mainline media about stuff like this. Ya’ll just think about this now!

4/11/08, 11:19:am

How can they be called racist when they went to “Mission Impossible” extremes to hide the fact that they were or werent getting married. Even now, they don’t wear rings to symbolize their marriage, if there ever was one. I don’t get these two, they act as if they are the Taliban and don’t want anyone to know there status. Its crazy, they really need to get over themselves.

4/11/08, 11:19:am

How do you expect magazines to put a couple who have barely even admitted they’re together, let alone that they got married on the cover??? I’m sure B and J never even sat down to discuss selling their wedding photos…if they even got married. I’m still half believing cuz personally, I think its dumb as hell to get married in the middle of a tour. Only way they would have been on the cover was in some damn stock photo from whenever, and with the same info every other blog has, so what would have been the point of that?



me myself and I

4/11/08, 11:20:am

For valenne:

You may be right. But I know when JLO was at her peak. I remember reading that her grandparents were from Europe, and they migrated to PR. Its just like Shikira fathers ppl are from lebanon and they migrated to Colombia. Another Example is Gisele the model. her parents are from Germany but moved to Brazil and she was born there.

Thsi is the racial make up of Puerto Rico:

white (mostly Spanish origin) 80.5%, black 8%, Amerindian 0.4%, Asian 0.2%, mixed and other 10.9%

Why are ppl acting suprised at this post. Whether if B and J had publicized their wedding , the point is they dont put Blacl ppl on the cover of magazines. Its not an issue of pics or not thats not the point, How many stories of other white celebrities have come out with no pics and its been all over magazines. If they dont have the actual pics they put old pics on the cover and thats the point. I have heard Black celebrities say that all the time. I remember back in the day , TLC complained about that all the time. Rolling Stone wouldn’t put them on the cover cuz they were told Black stars dont sell magazine covers. NOTHING NEW

You are right. I just went and looked up the definition of denial and one of them was:

refusal to recognize or acknowledge. I was taking denial more as like they were denying it ever happened which they have not they just have not publicly confirmed that it did. But like my post earlier why should they have to? That’s their business. People get married everyday, rich or poor, celebriy or ordinary people. It’s a ceremony between those joining and God first and then their closest family and friends. I’m glad they kept it a secret and I hope they NEVER TELL. Even after the kids, lol.

4/11/08, 11:30:am

Of course white celebrities are going to sell more of anything than blacks. America is predominately white you idiots. I’m not black, so why would I wanna see some blacks on the cover of a magazine. All blacks do is cry all day about how unfairly they are treated. How often do you hear other ethnic groups complain? Not often. They just go about their business and leave the whining to the blacks. Its time for all the blacks to put up, shut up and get it the same way everyone else did. Though thats probably not going to happen is it. Ebonics isn’t a language. English is. Hahahaha

But when they see how good her two covers are gonna sell they will come running believe it.

I think many of the previous posters have said it better than I could ever had said it. So, I won’t re-invent the wheel. I will say this though:

Race baiting and complaining over non-crucial issues such as this is getting really, really OLD. We need to realize that white guilt and those that felt it are not going to be around that much longer and our complaints are going to start falling on deaf ears.

The white person of today does not have the patience to hear our complaints because unlike the white people of the blantant racist era, the landscape has changed. The white person of today has more likely than not sat in many cl*****rooms with blacks. We now work together, live in the same neighborhoods, shop at the same places, watch the same shows. So I (being white) made it and you (being black) have not then you only have yourself to blame.

Also, the world is changing, the whole stuck in slavery mind-set is outdated. It’s no longer black and white. It’s asian too. And boy are asians a force to be reckoned with.

We now have people coming over to America from impoverished third world countries who have had it 10 million times worse than we ever have had it come here and make a productive lives for themselves–running rings around us as african americans.

So, we can continue to harp on these minute issues while the world moves on without and despite us.

She has collaborated with legends like Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, Bono, Tina Turner, to name a few. She has traveled the world over and have done things that few have done. She covered Sports Illustrated, Harpers Bazaar, Glamour, Better Homes and Garden, Vanity Fair, Elle, Seventeen,GQ, Spin, Ebony, Essence, Jet, Giant,Marie Claire, FHM, Maxim, Blender, Rollingstone, Self to name a few.

I agree, but with all of these wonderful experiences in her life she still has nothing interesting to say. She is a bore.

if they ever have to sell to a magazine, you would see thay they would NOT sell it to a balck magazine because a white magazine would give them more money!

But they would never been called sell out because they are doing that for money!

If they decide to go to a black magazine regardless of how much millions Vogue or whatever magazine would give them, then you would know that they care about being black but honeslty, I don’t think they do!

We now have people coming over to America from impoverished third world countries who have had it 10 million times worse than we ever have had it come here and make a productive lives for themselves–running rings around us as african americans.

There are plenty of ppl who had to do all those things you just listed and still got their work done. Yeah it was much harder than that white child who didn’t have as many responsiblities but it’s not impossible. Not to mention there are just as many white kids growing up in socially unfit homes. Stop trying to make it seem like all white kids got it made. They don’t. I also think you missed dubya’s point when she ( i think) said there are ppl coming to American from third world countries running circles around us. You are right about one thing… it’s not that simple. Some people want more and so they do better. Others want more but also think they deserve it and so someone else should just give it to them.

you are 100% correct. You and I both know it is not that simple, but the fact of the matter is that a white person of today is not going to look at it like that.

If Michelle Obama can pick herself out of the south side of chicago and make herself into the woman she is today, why can’t they all do that.

The white person of today has no tolerance for excuses.



Negrodamus Believes

4/11/08, 11:56:am

Negrodamus believes a magazine showing real white

people is needed. Not these ultra left wing nuts in Hollywood..So “I Know White People” is officially in publication.

1. Sports

If you’ve been in a white person’s apartment or home you might have noticed a ball that looks like a cross between an egg and a football. It is a Rugby ball and it is an important sport for white people.

2.St Patrick’s Day

This very special white holiday recognizes Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland who helped to bring Catholicism to the Emerald Isle. His ascetic life is celebrated every year by white people drinking large amounts of Irish-themed alcohol and listening to Ska Music. Normally if someone were to wake up at 7:00 in the morning, take the day off work, and get drunk at a bar before 10:00 a.m., they would be called an alcoholic, and not in the artistic, edgy way that white people are so fond of.

3.Having Gay Friends

If white people could draft friends the way that the NFL drafts prospects it would go like this: black friends, gay friends, and then all other minorities would be drafted based on need and rarity to the region.

4.The Idea of Soccer

Many white people will tell you that they are very into soccer. But be careful, it’s a trap.

If you then attempt to engage them about your favorite soccer team or talk about famous moments in soccer history, you are likely to be met with blank stares. This is because white people don’t actually enjoy watching soccer, they just like telling their friends that they are into it.

In fact, the main reason white people like soccer is so they can buy a new scarf. As you may or may not know, many soccer teams issue special scarves, and white people cannot get enough of them!

Jogger, you are absolutely right. Eva Longoria is Mexican and Tony Parker is Black all day long and twice on Sunday. They got a lot of media attention, because they were a very public couple and included the public in all of their wedding plans. There was hype. Jay Z and Bey on the other hand kept everything hush hush and finally people just stopped caring what they were up to.

And as for Jennifer Lopez, she’s Puerto Rican. Black, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Cuban, Panamanian….it’s all the same. Don’t let anybody tell you different.

5.Threatening to Move to Canada

Often times, white people get frustrated with the state of their country. They do not like the President, or Congress, or the health care system, or the illegal status of Marijuana. Whenever they are presented with a situation that seems unreasonable to them, their first instinct is to threaten to move to Canada.

For example, if you are watching TV with white people and there is a piece on the news about that they do not agree with, they are likely to declare “ok, that’s it, I’m moving to Canada.”

Though they will never actually move to Canada, the act of declaring that they are willing to undertake the journey is very symbolic in white culture. It shows that their dedication to their lifestyle and beliefs are so strong, that they would consider packing up their entire lives and moving to a country that is only slightly different to the one they live in now.

6.Gentrification

White people like to live in these neighborhoods because they get credibility and respect from other white people for living in a more “authentic” neighborhood where they are exposed to “true culture” every day. So whenever their friends mention their home in the suburbs or richer urban area, these people can say “oh, it’s so boring out there, so fake. In our neighborhood, things are just more real.” This superiority is important as white people jockey for position in their circle of friends.

They are like a modern day Lewis and Clark, except instead of searching for the ocean, they are searching for old properties to renovate.

7.Dogs

A lot of cultures love dogs – be it for entertainment, labor, or other. But white people love dogs on an entirely different level.

It should be understood that in white culture, dogs are considered training for having children. That is to say that any white couple must get a dog before they have kids. This will prepare them for responsibility by having another creature to feed, supervise it’s bathroom activities, and to love. Because of this, white people generally *****ume that their dog is their favorite child unless otherwise stated.

When actual children are born, the dog is not displaced but rather remains as the most important member of the household. This is because of the fact that white children will eventually hate their parents, but dogs will love anyone who feeds them.

White people generally believe that dogs have human emotions and that they are capable of loving certain TV shows, films, and music. “Buster just loves watching Six Feet Under!” Even though most dogs would enjoy watching Hitler if he were getting attention every time it came on the TV.

4/11/08, 12:14:pm

let me explain myself!

I amnot rreying to defend blakc people but actually i was too hard on them and you have to take the social context!Lots of social theory have proved that the son of a doctor have more chance to become a doctor! When you come in thso world, you can benefit from a cultural capital and also a human capital! Your parents would always be behind you to make you go to school and become a successful man/woman and help you themselves if they have to.

How yout mother will explain ***** when she barely speak english?!! How can she come to the parents-teactcher meeting when she works all day long! I am just sayong that it is not easy and i kinda stop judging people an that!

However, the importancy of education and DEGREE is this world to get a job, a social status and a real life is known by anybody and they should at least try and not give up like some of them do to become a rapper or a video model! So lots of them do not have an excuse but ont he same time, something is wrong in a society when you don’t believe that a degree wil get you a job because your black and that is somethin i have heard lots of people said here!



ThatTX Dude

4/11/08, 12:19:pm

I think they should just sell the pics to Essence Magazine if the other gossip rags want to act like that. Essence is considered a cl*****y magazine, and they are considered, by most people, a cl*****y couple. They would also probably get the front cover, and that issue would be picked up in stores by alot of people of all races because both of them have fans across the spectrum. Finally, Essence is already the leading black oriented title as far as ad revenue. It would be a win-win for everybody.

It’s much easier to rap or shake your ***** than to have the dedication, perserverance, and fortitude to get up and go to school to obtain an education. Human beings by nature want to take the easiest route. The problem is the easiest routes don’t yield the best benefits. We have to realize that and know that I may have to be without now to have more later. Not to mention a child may have a better chance of becoming a doctor if their father is one but the majority of ppl who are doctors did not grow up with a doctor parent.

4/11/08, 12:21:pm

If you want to ***** them off and actually admit that they are married, 1st completely ignore them, then only refer to them as boyfriend and girlfriend of 6 years. Then Papa Knowles will come out ranting and raving about his daughter’s marriage not being respected by the press. They are playing the game all wrong. The last thing a celebrity wants is for the press to ignore them. Once this happens they won’t be able to shut up about their wedding.

Its just business-Not RAcism! If white poeple dont wanna hear bout jay z and Beyonce then thats just the way it is. in the same way that black magazines wouldnt put Britney on the front because black people would be less inclined 2 read about her then Gabrielle Union for example!

White people….GET THIS! Care about white people most and they are still the overwhelming majority. Beyonce is a Mega-Star, but white folks don’t care about Jay-Z. They care about Brad Pitt and Brittney Spears. Get over it.

It’s called a business decision. And good for Jay and Beyonce that they can have their nuptuals in peace. If blacks made up the majority AND were ignored, THEN it would be an issue, but to be shocked and offended by this is beyond silly.

@ Ms. T I dont normally post on here but reading your comment I noticed u saying that Cuban, Rican, Mexican etc are the same as black BUT we’re not! I’m a Cuban of full Spaniard decent (meaning that I am of European ancestory aka white) and while the majority of Cubans are of mixed Amerindian and White/Spanish desent there are actually very few Black. Same with Mexican (who are mostly Mezito). Ricans have slightly more Black lineage but most are mixed Amerindian and White/Spanish. I love all colors of people but it really annoys me when people discount my Spanish heritege by saying that all Hispanics are Brown/Black when infact a large number of us are White but are cl*****ed as not being so because we speak Spanish. Some Hispanics do indeed have African ancestors but NOT all so please dont make a blanket term like that.

I’m not sure if you know much about your culture: the do*****ented attempts to suppress Africans identity, the colorism, and the obsession with “pelo malo” and good hair. You are not white. You are Cuban, and a part of Cuban idenity is the African identity. It is in the music, food, and flows through the culture. As a proud Latina, I embrace my Africanness, and you should try it.

Who wants to read about Beyonce’ and her gold digging ways when you can read about Britney acting crazy or Paris falling on her face. Its all about sales and business. Jay-Z and Beyonce’ are BORING.

Spaniard Gurrllly,

FYI, African Americans also have Spanish and French (check Creole identity), Native American, and Anglo-Saxon (remember Sally Hemings) heritage. At the end of the day, they are perceived as black. At the end of day, as a cubana, you are perceived as a half-black or a spick. You are not from Spain. If you go to Spain, Spanairds have no problem letting you know that.



Pretty Latina

4/11/08, 12:45:pm

She’s absolutley right. It’s not a self-hate thing. There are in fact many Latinos that are strictly White. Their ancestors have never mixed with the other cultures. Gisele Bundchen’s parents come direct from Germany. No Black, Indian, blood running through her veins.

Common Sense: I’m cubana. You are a dumb***** for stepping in when you don’t know much about Latin identity. Most Cubans have African heritage, and we all have African cultural ties. Having black or white skin means nothing. My family is multi-colored, going from Dita Von Teese’s skin color to Beenie Man’s color. We all have Spanish, African, and Indian blood running through our veins. There is no need to discount the African part when it is so obviously a part of out culture and identity. That is called self-hate. Have you eaten Cuban food and compared it to African food? Have you compared Cuban music to African music? Cubans have been able to retain more African cultural practices than African-Americans. There are hundreds of anthropolgical and sociological research of this phenomenon. Read about it. Then comment.

Just because African culture is part of Cubano Culture as a whole doesn’t mean that every Cuban should be “embracing their african identity.”

Black culture is part of American culture as a whole, but that doesn’t mean Carrie Underwood should embrace her blackness.

I have been to Cuba sweetie, I know the difference. Explain to me why a white (spanish) cuban should think of themselves as african if they in fact have no african blook? By your reasoning, black americans (who, like thier white Cuban counterparts are a minority) should embrace their Europeaness because American Culture is overwhelmingly Euro-centric and because MOST black Americans have European blood.

So, do you advocate that all the brothers and sisters on here should get down with their whiteness?

4/11/08, 13:11:pm

Valenne is only partly correct. The MOORS are a people now refered to as Berbers in Morroco and Tunisia (I’ve been there). They are an amalgamation of sub-saharran African (dark black skin) and northern african (See Morrocan, Libiyan, Tunisian and Egyption). So while they are dark skinned, they are not necessarily the same as africans like Nelson Mandela for instance.

Also, they were prevelant during the dark ages and early medeival times. Thus, while they certainly integrated themselvs into spanish and some italian cultural and ethnicity, they by no means were fully integrated, nor do all (more like few Spaniards or Italians) have any more African blood than your average German or French person (I mean, we’re ALL from africa). I can certainly provide links if you require.

You are lumping Cubans under one umbrella. Cubans are not all White, Nor all Mixed , Nor all Black. u have Black Cubans, u have white Cubans , U have mixed Cubans. I was born and raised in the Caribbean and if there is one thing we learn in school is BLACK history. THE WHOLE AFRICAN DISPORA. Not just the island we’re from. And the unique thing about it is I’ve travelled quite a bit and its amazing to actually see the things we were taught in elementary school, high school and secondary school. And meet ppl from OTHER islands who were taught the same thing as u. U can’t tell a WHITE Cuban he is BLACk. Thats aint right. CUBAN is not A RACE. Another example is Emilio Estefan , Gloria Estefan’s husband. i have heard him say with my own ears that his parents are from Lebanon, but guess what they lived in Cuba. So he is Cuban. That was when Shakira was about to release her first album. He was talking about the fact that he and Shakira has a similar background. Lebanses and Latin baground. I dont know African American has a screwed up reality of race and culture its so confusing. Thats off topic but its like when West indians move to the states they want us to refer to ourselves as African American and not West Indian or Haitian American, or Bajan American and the list goes on and on.



Sydney

4/11/08, 13:18:pm

Valenne was correct in her word usage — she was using the French translation.

Also, I believe it was Time magazine that ran a cover story years ago about origin of humans in Africa. Just found this online from a 1995 New York Times article:

“Earlier *****ysis of the DNA of the mitochondria, the tiny structures within each cell that generate its energy and that are transmitted only by the mother, indicated that all humans have as a common ancestor one woman who lived in Africa some 200,000 years ago — and inevitably has been stuck with the name Eve. All human mitochondrial DNA now extant, it seemed, derived from a single ancestral mitochondrial molecule from that place and time.”

There is a difference between racism and smart business. If a magazine ain’t gonna make as much money by putting Beyonce on the cover, why should they be socially obligated to do it? No rapper has to put images of white people on their CD cover to prove they ain’t racist.

Let’s use the race card when it is reasonable…



BAJAN

4/11/08, 13:28:pm

For bella:

I think u are missing the point.The fact that Jay and B chose to keep their marriage private is not the point.If they were white they would have gotten coverage pictures or not. White celebrities have done the same thing and they ran an old picture on trhe cover instead.. The media would have been in a FRENZY if this had been Brad and Angie and they would have put ANY picture of them on the cover of their magazine to get the story out. Thats the point. They usually ran stories without pics all the time.



Common Sense

4/11/08, 13:29:pm

Egyptians are/were NOT black. They were/are north african, which is essential a mixture of Arab and African blood. You can’t link me to one legit study or book that claims that Egyptians looked like sub-saharran africans. The Nubian kingdom was black and was known as distinct from the Egyptian..

While Cleopatra certainly didn’t look like Elizabeth Taylor, she also didn’t look like Angie Stone.

All of Valenne’s claims are typical Afrocentricism that, while good intentioned, are in fact false. No doubt history has given a the shaft to the accomplishments of “black” africans, but that doesn’t mean we have to claim that everyone was black and that we did ***** that we didn’t.

“Read a book?” Sure, please point me in the direction of the book that substantiates your claims.

The only way black women get on the cover of US or People or OK! is when they get knocked up by white guys.

Now, by snide aside notwithstanding, I think we might be jumping the gun on a controversy that isn’t really controversial.

Do black women buy US in the same numbers that they buy Essence? I doubt it. While I’m sure plenty of African American women are up to snuff on their Jennifer Anniston goings-on, I doubt any of them really care what’s happening to her with the same vigor that the ‘becky’ crowds does.

I’m willing to be corrected on this, but something tells me I’m not all that wrong about it.

Congrats to those two kids though. Jay’s a lucky duck to be getting in that when the spirit moves him…

My point is just because a Cuban has white skin does not mean that they do not have African heritage. There is A LOT of colorism in Cuba. People disown parts of their families, and they will “p*****” like they came straight from Spain. If you were in Cuba you should know that most Cubans have brown skin. That is uncontestable. Further, even with my own WHITE complexion, I have a grandmother as black as midnight. The fact that I am white-skinned does not eliminate my African identity. Many white-skinned Cubans will tell you that it does. I have heard the conversations and listened to people try to distinguish themselves from the “darkies.” At the end of the day, it is self-hate. There is no need to go on and on about how Cubans are not SO black. The only reason you would try to emphasize this fact is if you are trying to justify the whiteness is greatness myth.

Furthermore, immigrants into a nation, like Shakira and other cited in your example, clearly do not apply to my *****ysis. Obviously if you moved to Cuba from Lebanon, you have Lebanese heritage. So, what is the point? The vast majority of Cubans cannot trace their heritage and find not a drop of African heritage. I was raised in Cuba, lived in Miami, and consider myself to be quite versed in my culture. I recognize the good and the bad. A bad part of my culture is the self-hate and the colorism. Without a question.

More on the Black Pharaohs of Egpyt, and I can provide a link and list of books and other resources:

Pharaohs ruled Egypt for 3,000 years—from around 2950 B.C. until the death of Cleopatra, in 30 B.C. These all-powerful rulers, most of them indigenous Egyptians, are grouped into 30 numbered dynasties, followed by a Persian Period and finally a Greco-Roman Period, of which Cleopatra was the last sovereign.

But even during the many centuries of native Egyptian domination, a few dynasties from elsewhere held sway intermittently. The 23rd dynasty was a loose grouping of kings of Libyan origin, many of whom ruled in the Nile Delta. The 24th dynasty came to supremacy more or less simultaneously with the 23rd, at a time when parts of Egypt south of the delta were weakly controlled by Egyptians from the heartland.

Into this power vacuum came the 25th dynasty—a family group of strong kings from Nubia or Kush, south of Egypt in what is present-day Sudan. These rulers were dark skinned and bore the distinguishing facial features of sub-Saharan peoples. They swept north to the delta, reinvigorating historic forms of worship as they came, thus gaining the support of the Egyptian priests.

Modern scholars have debated the race of the ancient pharaohs as new courses of study based on Africa’s, particularly black Africa’s, contributions to Western culture and world civilization have arisen over the past three decades. But whatever the skin color of the native Egyptian pharaohs, there’s no dispute that during the 25th dynasty all of Egypt answered to black pharaohs who hailed from deep within Africa.

Again, Valenne. Name a book.

“Read any book” Well, I have, many and as Sydney correctly stated, the kingdom of Nubia was black and that is the only evidence of truly dark skinned africans ruling Egypt. No genentic studies of Egyptian ruins have been able to link any with any certainty any other genetic connection between black africans and Egyptians. They looked then like they look now, North African.

@Just sit and be pretty:

I’ve been to Morrocco and the food was great, but you’ve got to be careful. It was an amazing experience and it was the first time I was in a country that was predominantly Muslim in its culture and people. But Morrocco (the cities moreso) is a very western friendly country and you can go to the beach and see women swimming in Birkas and then see a pretty Morroccan girl in a bikini.

AGAIN, by YOUR LOGIC, black people should not deny their Europeaness because they are surrounded by Europeans and almost all black americans have European blood.

I mean really, how much Shiraz or cosmos can I drink every night without running into problems? Seriously, whoever that character(s) may be, it’s apparent they really are lonely and screaming for conversation/attention.

I saw your remarks/recommendation and am considering some options. Last time I checked, even though internet laws are evolving, cyberstalking is considered a crime. I always say that I don’t have a problem with someone coming at me sideways a million times (using their own ish) because I can more than handle myself. However, when you continually engage in unlawfully using my image to harr*****, or post inappropriate/vulgar material…well to me, a line is crossed and there is a concerted effort to defame one’s character.

Correction, two of the big five focused on the wedding. I saw it in CVS today. And the other 3 each focused on Heath Ledger’s alleged love chi;d. J.lo and i guess Jennifer Aniston. If anything, we won!

Racist? I don’t agree. I say the tabloids, like everyone else, got tired of hearing them two are either going to get engaged, engaged or secretly married. And to top it off everyone’s denying the thing happened! How are you going to report on something that never happened! isn’t that bad journalism? Quite frankly I could give two *****s if they got married. OK congrats! next!

And i concur with what kgizza said, use the race card when appropriate! everything is not about race black people and no i am not disillusioned. I know the difference.

For example, People Mag not focusing on Beyonce’s and Jay’s wedding = not racist

@you know i just feel like people need to understand that their lifestyle was chosen by them, that means no privacy, and it is their business, but with millions of fans that love you and made you rich ,what’s the harm in allowing them in on your happiness, not saying detailing the whole nine yards but i think their fans have a right to know, i think they are selfish, they want the money the fans bring to them but don’t wish to include them in just acknowleding the fact that their married, i have never been a fan of beyonce but their are millions who are, so i just think its foolish and selfish also a wedding is a joyous time to involve all star or not , the wedding was private understood, but damn let your folks share in your happiness since their the reason you can buy 60,000 dollar flowers and 700,000 in wedding material. when i got married i was happy and didn’t know who cared, they got those tats as rings, they probably been married

Understand what you’re saying and I agree b/c I am a beyonce fan and wish her nothing but happinesss but look the industry she is in. Every little thing she does is scrutinized. I can completely understand why she would want something sacred and special that not everyone gets to have. I mean really her entire life is on display. The media wants to tell every personal detail.

Why don’t these publishers just say what they mean. They don’t like to put Black people on the cover of their magazines because they would rather promote anyone or anything that is White, as this maintains the status quo and ensures that Blacks continue to see themselves as less valuable than white people. We know that’s the truth, so why not just admit it?

4/11/08, 14:15:pm

For the idiots talking about when was the last time Bey was on the cover of a magazine. Are you serious or just dumb? Beyonce has been on the cover of over 183 magazines already. She was even the first singer on the cover of Sports Illustrated so stop lying to yourself. Beyonce is a-list, very mainstream, and the most popular BLACK female artist in the world. Now Jay on the other hand yeah he’s not mainstream which is why it’s just Bey on the cover of PEOPLE and US WEEKLY but she is on the covers. Oh and Beyonce does have personality and she is not boring. Some of you are lying to yourselves seriously. If she is so boring and has no personality then why is she the most discussed black female artist and the most successful of this generation? I mean really you are lying to yourself if you think people dont find her interesting.She gets talked about 24/7 especially on blogs and on posts that even not about her. At least she has talent I would rather all this hoopla be about a talented singer instead of no talent robots like rihanna or c*****ie. But seriously this was all over the world and even CNN was talking about this wedding. So to those of you saying ‘*****ody cares’ sorry but you couldnt be any further from the truth. You can say you like Alicia Keys, Jill Scott, etc better and that they do this and that but Beyonce is still doing better than them on everything. I’m just stating facts because some people on here are really in denial. Race has nothing to do with it, the second Bey and Jay release a pic or confirmation it will be on every mag cover, even though they got just about every mag cover already. I mean Beyonce is on the cover of PEOPLE AND US WEEKLY two of the biggest magazines today, so what are ya’ll taking about?

@you know saying that your married is not detailing your life to the world, i still think her fans that made her rich deserve to know from her, they made her rich and so did jay, they didn’t become rich by themselves, so i still feel that saying your married and in love is not telling your whole life story to the world. telling is not going to make or break the marriage, so i still feel the same way, but i also think she likes this little attention because truly the media has not been checking for her lately and this is right up her and jays alley. look at mary she bigger than beyonce, it hasn’t affected her privacy with her man we don’t know what goes on we just know they married like any other married couple. its like they really need to get over themselves cuz really noone cares like that she is the one keeping the media hungry by not saying it, cuz they no as soon as they admit they will be back on the back burner

The magazines aren’t racist but the fact could be is that Black people do NOT sell covers.

Why should the magazine fork over millions when they know that beyonce wont sell? If knew J.lo wouldnt sale or if they knew Britney wouldn’t sell they wouldnt give them the money.

When it serves them, black folks will even join forces with racist whites to detsroy another black person they envy or resent for doing something to uplift. From selling eachother to slavery to killing eachother off in Rwanda and Haiti and the black communities across the US, black people, people of African descent, are their own worst enemies and liberal whites laugh at black folks all the way their bank where they are rich off of black self-hatred dollars.

Jay is a business man. He knows the racist media. And he knows his cultural capital is more valuable in secrecy than handing over his person business for crumbs. His attitude and success speak volumes: Jay don’t sell or settle for crumbs.

When and if they do decide to share wedding photos let it be on the cover of Forbes when they both make the top earning lists AGAIN. Congrats JB, no selling out and no settling for racist crumbs.

Unfortunately, AA covers hardly ever do well in many distribution areas, especially in the south and rural mid-west markets.

I’ve been in the publishing business for over 10 years, and honestly, when a choice is made for the cover, it’s all business–what will sell the most for their particular book & market *****e.

I wouldn’t cast blame onto the publishing companies, as this issue isn’t a new one by any means, and perhaps is an eye opening insight into the buying habits/preferences of many American consumers.

Bossip you make yourselves look stupid with statements like this… 1) Beyonce is on plenty of covers 2)magazines aren’t non-profit entities they want to sell as many magazines as possible meaning they will put whoever sells the most magazines on the cover. they don’t care about black or white they care about green. 3) you all are more ignorant than the people you gossip about.

i’ve finally come to realize how much time i waste reading this nonsense. i think my blog addiction has been cured… thanks bossip.

***** Beyonce! Newsweek put a black woman on their cover when they featured Michelle Obama how many of you ran out to buy that in show of support? That’s why we’re hardly featured on mainstream magazines – blacks don’t support them, so the covers don’t sell.



Whatchaknoaboutdat?

4/11/08, 14:51:pm

Whether it mag cover or other kind of stories I thnk that 98% of white ppl are naturally racist even though they try to down play it public settings. I think that other ethnicity that also pick up on that social behavior and they try and be like them too. We as black ppl have been fighting against blatant racism for decades… and me MUST continue to fight against it until things change for all of us.

It’s runs deep…

If Beyonce was pregnant with Tom Hanks’ baby, she’s be on the cover of:

US Weekly (definitely)

People (ditto)

USA Today (yep)

The Economist (maybe)

Rolling Stone (maybe, depends on what was happing with LiLo)

VIBE (the special ‘What’s wrong with Black Women’ edition)

IT is fair to say Bossip is run by a bunch of unintelligent people that just like to start *****. You know the girls that were just “messy” in high school and ALWAYS lied. Even when they happened to tell the truth you still wouldn’t believe them because they were straight up dissing everyone.

Y do we argue about stupid *****. We all know all of the islands have African blood. If you don’t know get to know. We all know America has many faults. One is its treatment of blackfolks, and for anyone who tries to say otherwise is an idiot and unaware of the historical ramifications. If u say other ethnicities come here and advance faster than blacks. OK u proved my point. Whites always *****imilate others within their own culture. Y is there an arab owning a store in every hood b/c they get loans easily. PLs dispute me on this. Y are hispanics accepted b/c alot of them can p***** and white people accept that. I’m not bitter, and don’t come from the lt bc I am a Lawyer,and I do know what is actually going on in America.

valenne

4/11/08, 15:24:pm

@ azshakur,

are you sure they really get loans or is it because they have a big network and help themselves?!! Because i know chinese people get loans form their countries, sometimes mafia and open their restaurants here!



making no sense as usual

4/11/08, 15:24:pm

first off like some stated b4 she’s on 2 major cover’s People and US Weekly.

What I don’t understand is how this one woman who is supposedly overexposed garners over 300 hundred post on alledged info and not a factual statement from the people that supposedly wed., when people are sick and tired of her. It really is funny because when she’s smiling for the camera people are like she always trying to be seen or calling the paps on every vacation or what not, but then when she doesn’t show her face in 2 or 3 pics she’s being (stupid, brand new, stuck up, or not showing her fans appreciation). It seems to me that the haters couldn’t do their jobs properly if bey wasn’t doing the norm and even when she switches up there’s still something negative. If you tired of hearing about her stop responding and they’ll stop posting ***** for the”Stans” because all the stans no where to go for their beyonce fix. And then when *****’s posted for the fans all these bloggers stop coming to Beyonceworld stealing photos and info(statements) and posting them to get more hits. So if those who don’t care but think she owes the fans pics or whatever piece of herself, which she doesn’t owe any of us including me don’t come running and gunning foke down for the first glimpse.

And keeping it real angelina will get a week or more of press and mag covers about an alleged pregnancy, never confirming wheter or not it’s true, and the media will later find out when they see the baby bump. And has still never admitted being preggers. Same thing with J.Lo, waited months b4 fessing up to the obvious but it was no big deal. The point is let it go and stop the madness because there truely are bigger issues at hand like getting this idiot out of the damn whitehouse.

@ Valenne, I’m from the South. SC 2 b exact and I’ve actually won 2 discrimination cases based on loans. They loans set aside for first generation immigrants.



AZShakur

4/11/08, 15:34:pm

and some of it has to do with their network. They do tend to help their own more than we do, or any ther ethnic group for that matter



valenne

4/11/08, 15:36:pm

Alright!

but how can you prove that there was discrimination because you know sometimes you can have the right finance, a good business plan etc.. and still not have the loan



valenne

4/11/08, 15:37:pm

yes, but their help is not free. Most of the time, the money is coming from the MAFIA, the interest are really high and if they don’t reimbourse, they know someone from their family would be dead within the week!

@ashley

Naw, Bossip is just like any other business and that is to make a profit, and in the internet game it’s to get more “clicks” which in turn allows you to charge more to companies that want to advertise on your website…

That’s why they

(1) will without a doubt – at a MINIMUM post at least one story once a week – newsworthy or NOT about: Rihanna, Beyonce, Interracial Dating, or (my personal favorite) an a$$ shot

(2) put an unrelated or unflattering picture to the story,

(3) word a caption in a way after the said quote that will “rile” some people up (*who fall for it time after time)…

*speaking of “rile some people up”, PLEASE ignore the people who say racist stuff in these threads, you know their intentions – just IGNORE them, there’s no need to address them…

Haven’t ya’ll noticed the decent advertisers that Bossip has been getting as of late (I know them jealous fat b#tches at Bossip love the fact that I’m bringing attention to the advertisers) and even though they diss Diddy on the regular he still advertises his products on this site…

@Valenne, bc when u have discovery you get the opportunity to see both parties credit ratings and in both cases my clients had A1 credit and the only difference was that it would cst the banks less money to back an immigrant.

Did you know that the non-Bantu Somalian government is slaughtering the Bantus? Talk about REAL racism that needs to be addressed within the BLACK community AROUND the world. …and we are worried about magazines?????

just saying

@you know saying that your married is not detailing your life to the world, i still think her fans that made her rich deserve to know from her, they made her rich and so did jay, they didn’t become rich by themselves, so i still feel that saying your married and in love is not telling your whole life story to the world. telling is not going to make or break the marriage, so i still feel the same way, but i also think she likes this little attention because truly the media has not been checking for her lately and this is right up her and jays alley. look at mary she bigger than beyonce, it hasn’t affected her privacy with her man we don’t know what goes on we just know they married like any other married couple. its like they really need to get over themselves cuz really noone cares like that she is the one keeping the media hungry by not saying it, cuz they no as soon as they admit they will be back on the back burner

************************************************

I agree. Saying I’m married and in love is not detailing your entire life but you and I both know that the media hogs don’t stop with just that. They pry and want to know every little detail. That’s the whole point. As far as them being on the back burner you are gonna have to fall back on that. Bey grossed 54 million last year and Jay made 115. Neither of them have to work another day in their life so trying to stay on the front, middle, or back burner is irrelevant. They’ve already made their millions. They don’t have to do ***** else. Neither do their grandkids for that matter. Like I said, they are grown and can tell or not tell whatever they want. I don’t see why so many ppl are so concerned with it. It’s their life.

Negrodamus Wrote:

Negrodamus believes a magazine showing real white

people is needed. Not these ultra left wing nuts in Hollywood..So “I Know White People” is officially in publication.

1. Sports

If you’ve been in a white person’s apartment or home you might have noticed a ball that looks like a cross between an egg and a football. It is a Rugby ball and it is an important sport for white people.

2.St Patrick’s Day

This very special white holiday recognizes Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland who helped to bring Catholicism to the Emerald Isle. His ascetic life is celebrated every year by white people drinking large amounts of Irish-themed alcohol and listening to Ska Music. Normally if someone were to wake up at 7:00 in the morning, take the day off work, and get drunk at a bar before 10:00 a.m., they would be called an alcoholic, and not in the artistic, edgy way that white people are so fond of.

3.Having Gay Friends

If white people could draft friends the way that the NFL drafts prospects it would go like this: black friends, gay friends, and then all other minorities would be drafted based on need and rarity to the region.

4.The Idea of Soccer

Many white people will tell you that they are very into soccer. But be careful, it’s a trap.

If you then attempt to engage them about your favorite soccer team or talk about famous moments in soccer history, you are likely to be met with blank stares. This is because white people don’t actually enjoy watching soccer, they just like telling their friends that they are into it.

In fact, the main reason white people like soccer is so they can buy a new scarf. As you may or may not know, many soccer teams issue special scarves, and white people cannot get enough of them!

ANOTHER THING IS HOW CAN BOSSIP.COM OR ANYONE THAT POSTING IN AGREEMENT WITH BOSSIP BE MAD OR HAVE AN ISSUE WITH IT WHEN BEYONCE AND JAYZ AREN’T EVEN ADMITTING THAT THEY’RE MARRIED…LOL HELLO PEOPLE. LAST TIME I’VE CHECKED AS FAR AS MAGIZINES AND COVERS GO THEY’RE ONLY TALKING ABOUT RIHANNA,HALLE, BEYONCE,TYRA, OPRAH OR NAOMI. SO *****ODY IS OBJECTIVE TO THAT FACT THAT HALLE AND BEYONCE HAVE MORE COVERS ON MAINSTREAM WHITE MAGS THAN NAOMI. WHY IS THAT? BECAUSE THEY’RE P*****ING…RIHANNA,BEYONCE, TYRA AND HALLE ARE P*****ING BLACK WOMEN. THAT’S EVEN ACCEPTABLE BY THE BLACK MEDIA. BLACK MEDIA PROMOTES THOSE WOMEN BECAUSE THEY’RE P*****ING MORE THAN WOMEN WHO ARE DARKER THAN THEM. QUESTION BLACK/MAINSTREAM MEDIA BEFORE YOU QUESTION WHITE/MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

4/11/08, 17:01:pm

@you know it was nice conversating with you,even though we disagree slightly, now about the back burner true she might have sold alot records just like numerous of other artists that’s not unheard of but to the stans they love quoting that, anyway, still she is not the it girl right now, i hate to say it rhianna is the it girl for the moment i agree she can’t sing but the media is tired of beyonce and they bringing up the next it girl just like history repeats itselfs their were it girls before beyonce and surely after her its a cycle but i respect your opinion and i wasn’t calling you a stan in this post i was just saying some people quote that likes she is the only one sells records

I really wanna see those pictures, but if they is gonna compare BeyJay to the likes of Britney Spears and Jeniffer Aniston, and then have the nerve to say that covers of those to caucasian women would sell more covers than my favorite couple Beyonce and Jay-Z, then no, I don’t think the mag deserves the photos. Bey and Jay should put the pics in a black magazine, like Jet, Essence or Vibe.

BOssip writer/s are nothing but jealous of anyone non black, especially whites. If you go through history, you will see that every single white person this blogger mentions gets insulted, and most of the black trainwrecks are just skimmed over.

Like ya’ll darkskin dirty *****es. All darkskin *****es look dirty. Ya’ll hating on beyonce cause she lightskin. Ya’ll know it. Beyonce look better than all her hata’s. Light skin girls aint intemidated by bey,,we buy her ***** and bump in the club cause we lightskin and get attention just likeher. But darksin *****es feel played in the club, thats why they frown when beyonce comes on, cause they know their man dreaming about some light skin wet *****. Dark skin babies are the back burner baby mama’s while us lightskin get attention and ride in the front seat. Ya’ll hate on bey, and want her to got out of style because you JEALOUS. Her music ROCKS, jayz is in love with her, why would he pick any other girl over beyonce, she’s the richest lightskin girl in the game. I be glad when beyonce wedding pics surf the net to shut you hating ***** *****es up. There should have never been a such thing as a darkskin hoodrat bum. All dark skin girls get played cause men don’t like darkskin women, thats why ya’ll want to see beyonce get played.

soooo not true…Black people in hollyweird rarely give the tabloids enough ammo to be cover material.. On the B and Camel note i dont think many weeklies wanted to take the risk of making it cover story and they are still denying it. They prolly dont even have a pic of the “bride” so can u sell a mag on a hunch. NO!! we as a county as a nation like the juicy stuff the details and this story is just laking such. I dont think even if they offered B 1,00000000 that she would sell her wedding info, becuz she has always been so private.

I don’t think its racist at all. These publications are about there paper and trust if there was a way to exploit blackies and get top dollar they would do it. Bottom line is Blacks are like 12% of the Nation and Whites are like 70% and they want to sell as many magazines as possible. If the white constituents were buying the mag in droves with Blacks on the cover then to meet and improve their bottom lines there would be a Black on the cover, the inside cover and back and so on. Its about that dollar. Whites wanna see Whites…mostly and Blacks wanna see Blacks mostly and we know Hispanics don’t care for anything thats not Hispanic. It is what it is.

I Agree!

Now sometimes you do have to keep an eye out because sneaky racism is the worst (something that makes u think twice). Why was Beyonce the only one on the cover if they are reporting wedding news, usually both parties are on the cover. I can understand not having Jay Z on the cover because to white people he is considered “gangster”, even though he makes millions to middle white america he is a rapper/gangster. These are the same people that think that white people love em.

@ Beyonce #1 Fan

Halle Berry is light skinned and IMO way more beautiful than Beyonce and no black man would respect and honor her.

Since you wanna play particulars, lets break some things down. Mind you I am a Beyonce fan but lets be real. Beyonce may be light skinned and she is also “bald headed”, knock kneed, and inarticulate.

Nevertheless she is still beautiful and talented.

My point is not hating, but to make clear that no woman is perfect and no type of woman has a monopoly on beauty.

You have devalued and reduced the sense of worth and identity of light skinned sisters to nothing more than trophies and arm pieces.

And Beyonce who represents herself as being proud of the beauty of blackness within and outside her own family would be repulsed by your views and would for damn sure refund your supoprt for slandering her nephew’s mother and her paternal grandmother and her cousins this way.

You don’t see Beyonce with no light skinned posse and on the arm of a light skinned man. She surrounds herself with and loves all shades of blackness.

So many light skinned women are preyed upon for the wrong reasons and not valued as human beings.

All the light skinned women in our communities stuggling with children out of wedlock on their own just because racist brothers who think like you just want kids by a light skinned woman but still don’t want to father and be a husband.

Stop spreading your racist lies about black women.

We are universally beautiful women, except for those of us who speak ugly racist lies about ourselves and our sisters.

God Bless You Sister and may He heal your warped mind and soul.



Mimi

I not saying anyone is dumb, just that the housewives in middle white america who purchase the mags may look at him a different way. Just because you make that much dont mean white people respect you! People know he use to sell drugs and do dirty things, you cant compare J to Donald because Donald have game on lock J wishes he were him.

How many white women are scared to p***** a black man on the street, no matter how much money he has? Alot! so dont think just because he is worth $100mil and own half of NY that white people have forgotten that he is black and ex drug dealer. TO most whites the only thing J has going for him is Beyonce.

4/11/08, 20:14:pm

Black people have to stop the desire for white/other people to validate us. We don’t need white validation or validation from any other group of people for that matter. The m***** media reports on what they believe is important to them. Just because its not important to them doesn’t make it any less important; it just means they are not interested and that’s okay. Our culture and beauty is revered all over the world. When are we going to learn to revere ourselves and for that to be enough.

What has Beyonce said or done on behalf of the Black Community? Nothing at all. She and her family promote her for “herself” and that is sad. It also is the reason there is very little love or genuine interest in what she does. Jayz on the other hand has sponsored, provided guidance, and mentored countless young Black artist. Bottom line is they are not a power couple, so no mag covers for their nupitals. What they are is a man that got the girl of his dreams (no crime there) and she married the bank!



Gossip Girl

Im sure Ms Berry would splash all over the networks the picture of a “likeness of herself, whitened moreso by Aubry” if that were the case. I betcha a dollar the baby is a darkcomplexioned cutie pie. Its a pity Halle doesnt think dark is cute.

> I not saying anyone is dumb, just that the housewives in middle white america who purchase the mags may look at him a different way.

Well, yeah. If we’re talking about older white folks then you’re probably right. Hopefully, they’re the last generation of people who think like that. Now that the generation of kids who grew up on or around hip-hop is raising families, I think that a lot of the old-style racism is going to die out.

> Just because you make that much dont mean white people respect you! People know he use to sell drugs and do dirty things, you cant compare J to Donald because Donald have game on lock J wishes he were him.

Any white person with a damned bit of sense respects J. The man went from nothing to almost everything. Everybody I know thinks Trump is just a rich *****hole, so J might be better off than he thinks.

> TO most whites the only thing J has going for him is Beyonce.

Well, let’s hope that that “most” is getting smaller and smaller every day. With any luck we’re going to have a black president, so the old days are getting further and further in the past.

That’s ridiculous . . . The two said nothing about what was going to happen, so how in the hell was the media supposed to have access.

Why should these people be making millions off of funky ***** like that, anyway. I don’t want to see either of them any other day of the week, so why would I care about their wedding photos.

SOME CELEBS SELL THEIR PICS TO THE HIGHEST BID, SO IF BEYONCE AND JAY-Z DON’T “SELL” MAGAZINES, THEY PROBABLY GOT OFFERED LESS MONEY AND DECIDED TO KEEP THE PICS. I NOTICED THAT BEYONCE IS ON THE COVER OF US WEEKLY AND PEOPLE AND DOESN’T IT SAY “BEYONCE’S SECRET WEDDING” OR SOMETHING. THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT JAY. HE’S NOT AS MAINSTREAM AS HER.

the only black person white mags are checking for is halle when she finally decides to show her kid…other than that they could care less about black folks and particularly this black couple…we don’t buy mags, at least not white mags…and they haven’t even officially stated they were married anyway…so i guess the mags are like if they won’t confirm…why would we pay them millions for pics…

But darksin *****es feel played in the club, thats why they frown when beyonce comes on, cause they know their man dreaming about some light skin wet *****. Dark skin babies are the back burner baby mama’s while us lightskin get attention and ride in the front seat. Ya’ll hate on bey, and want her to got out of style because you JEALOUS. Her music ROCKS, jayz is in love with her, why would he pick any other girl over beyonce, she’s the richest lightskin girl in the game. I be glad when beyonce wedding pics surf the net to shut you hating ***** *****es up. There should have never been a such thing as a darkskin hoodrat bum. All dark skin girls get played cause men don’t like darkskin women, thats why ya’ll want to see beyonce get played.

The publications will give a African American a front spread if he or she kills 10 Hollyweird scarlets or some other washed up waste of time. And then they won’t call you African American. At that point, you’re “black”. Just short of really wanting to say the N-word. And you know when these *****s are at home, they aren’t calling you “African American”. This is why racism will never ever die. It can’t because what’s whitey going to do? There will never ever be equal ground. I’m still waiting for my gotdamn 40 acres and a mule. And I want it in the Hamptons! It is a serious concern because some of our young black kids who are impressionable don’t have black people as heros but look up to Hollyweird’s Horrible. Then they try drugs, DUIs thinking they will get the same “p*****” as these wackos do. When they find out the true reality, we’ve lost another one. This world will always be racist and thankfully we’re not being lynched but our culture is being raped and hung in other ways. Thank you for recognizing and for the topic.

First things first. I want to say Bey, you are the best. I wonder why Jay-Z always look like he wasn’t interested in taking pictures. I see why now. Jay-Z is very intelligent. Because he knew one day, it would lead to this. White people haven’t change in 400 years. Do you think they will ever change. But at the end of the day you still *****s to them. The only reason Oprah get what she gets is because she is worth Billions. Beyonce & Jay-Z keep hiding your face and go about your business as you suppose too.

Hurry have some little Jay-Z’s and beyonce thats what I want to see. God please with you all.



yeah i said it

4/12/08, 08:17:am

bossip yall are no better than those people. why yall gotta call britney spears stank and call jennifer aniston that? they have done nothing to yall. when you post things about britney ya ll don’t even acknowledge her as a person you state her as “white people’s news” let that be a white person to say in “black people’s news” and yall would be quick to call them racist. stop calling others racists when yall one yall damn selves. and i don’t understand this whole celeb rave yall need to get the hell out their business. if lames like yall wasn’t in their personal business they wouldn’t be making so much off a damn typical american wedding photo. the only difference between the stars and regular people is that they have money and anyone can get money. bey is not super top notch where her ***** should be selling. the girl does her thing but ain’t *****ody worried bout her but yall bossip yall stay on her ***** and yall stay on jay’s dyck.

4/12/08, 09:34:am

This is really low BOSSIP!!! Maybe Bey and Jay’s nuptials would be front page news IF THEY ACTUALLY ADMITTED TO THEM!!!!!!! Hello!!! The bride and groom have yet to confirm these nuptials so why should it be front page news???



lovely and amazing

Yes the media can be racist.

But in all fairness Beyonce and Jay-Z didn’t announce or admit they had a wedding. There could be lawsuits involved if the tabloids publicized a wedding and possibly they are not married.

I do think two people who are 100% fan-made should share an announcement and photo with their fans. The curiosity and intrigue is uneccesary and kind of cruel if you think about it especially knowing how their fans care.

So, guess its no big deal the weeklies didn’t put them on the cover.

Jay-Z and Beyonce have downplayed their entire relationship. Pics of them together are scarce compared to other celeb couples, because they wanted it that way.

I think that these two people have made it obvious, that they don’t want to be followed and hounded constantly, and have their privacy invaded. It destroys relationships and marriages all over Hollywood, and they have chosen to protect their relationship from the media for that very reason.

Beyonce’ and Jay were dating for years on the down-low, before they ever confirmed being a couple in public. I am not surprised that they had a small wedding, and did not make pics available to the public.

Remember Janet and her secret marriage to Rene’, for how many years??? The only reason that it lasted as long as it did, is because she kept it a secret.

I don’t think it is racist. Beyonce and Jay could have gotten married and shut all of New York down, had a huge gala at the Waldorf or any other 5 Star Hotel, had outrageous amounts of money spent on flowers, and a huge dress, with a long list of celebrities in their wedding party, and had every pap in town taking pics. Magazines would have gladly bought photos, and paid whatever the market would bear for them.

They chose not to plan it that way. It was their choice. What is so racist about that???

Maybe they just want a marriage that will last.

4/12/08, 13:02:pm

Gee i wonder what they should have put on the cover – a big ole question mark, a truck that might have been transporting the lovely bride, or maybe a couple of wedding guests saying wedding? what wedding? i dont know anything about a wedding o.0

Why do some of you hate Beyonce so much? What has she done to you personally to make you hate her?

Why do some of you love Beyonce so much? What has she done to you personally to make you love her?

I wonder who will answer.

4/12/08, 14:56:pm

Anyway! Is that Jay-Bey Thang so Important?! Married or not, I really don’t understand what’s the matter. Have you got some money to get off of it? Beyonce looks a FAKE person to me and she isn’t that Beautiful or that much sexy. She’s just cute, that’s all! You gotta get down to the West Indies where the Pure Sexy gyalz are. No Surgery, no Fake *****es & *****ies. Y’all gonna see sum Natural Perfection of Women. If There’re Caribeans F’in around this site, they know what i’m talkin bout.

4/12/08, 15:00:pm

I agree that they downplay big time black celebs for lesser white celebs, but it’s not as bad as its made to seem.

First, the mags did all they could with what they had. This was a very secretive meeting. If they had more material to work with, I’ll bet it would have made more covers.

Second, the wedding was all over the mainstream gossip blogs as well as black blogs and let’s face it, who else matters? No one is reading those mags anymore anyway. It’s “The Internets” (as our president calls it) that count.

4/12/08, 15:17:pm

This going to sound cliche, que all that matters is that they are happy. Now why should they worry about whether or not magazines that are dominated by white interest put them on the cover….We as a people need to realize that that we don’t need them, we need each other…plenty of Black magazines will put them on the cover….and supporting a Black magazine by sending it to them would be ideal anyway…but it’s up to them. They are a very private couple and probably have no intent on selling them at all.



Sheila

4/12/08, 15:19:pm

I don’t know why yall trying to make something out of nothing. Did it really have to be titled “Jim Crow…..”Black people’s photo’s don’t sell much because black people like being so private… ie., Jay-Z and Beyonce. White people like being in the spot light, as much as they try to deny it…they know it helps in the longevity of their careers. For this simple reason they get into fights with each other, date the popular celeb or lose a ridiculous amount of weight…its called creating a controversy. Who would pay for pictures that can’t fabricate stories. Think about that before you start another ones of these stupid discussions. Beyonce and Jay-Z don’t like their business out in the public and if you ask me they shouldn’t be featured at all in no one’s magazines.

4/12/08, 16:30:pm

Bey is on the cover of both ‘US Weekly’ and ‘People’. Just peeped them both in Wal-Mart. That’s as big as it gets if you ask me…

These magazines don’t give much love to us homosexual brothas but you don’t hear us complaining. Black people always find something to complain about. Especially these sistas. You’re the reason I’m gay.



hellno

4/12/08, 17:49:pm

Maybe it’s because Jay and B celebrated their engagement, but have yet to get married. When the wedding takes place, they will receive more mainstream media attention. Just because they didn’t tell Bossip it wasn’t wedding doesn’t mean they didn’t hook themselves up with a mainstream outlet to report the actual event with some expensive exclusive BS thing.

Look at what Halle’s doing, shopping the baby pictures to the highest bidder, can’t blame white media for that. That’s Halle’ doing, greed.



All in fun

4/12/08, 18:19:pm

I doubt we will hear anything about them crying about this. They seem to be comfortable with who they are and their relationship. They could afford to get married any where and how they want and they choose a low key intimate affair. Please leave them.

4/12/08, 20:21:pm

maybe they should sell the pics to bossip.

get that ***** right ***** your gay becuase you allways was and wanted to be gay. and white women are the ones who turn you dumb ***** black men. its a study about that. yall all turning over ugly *****es who look *****ed up. ***** i bet if we was all face to face no one would talk ***** to my pretty ***** face i would beat your ***** down.

Black folks have too much sense to be paparazzi. Jumping in front of cars and hanging out of planes for a picture just doesn’t seem to be our thing.

There isn’t a black tabloid magazine yet or a market for black paparazzi yet.

So black celebs get press but not tabloid status. Only cross over stars (ie. Halle) get serious paparazzi action and market value.

BTW- “Inside Beyonce’s Wedding” is on the cover of US weekly. Truth be told, she looks very white on the cover. Remember, narrow minded society and media still *****ociate marriage with white people.

4/13/08, 07:54:am

No Marquis the reason you are gay is because you like to have another man’s d*ck up your a$$ so please don’t start blaming women for your gayness that’s all you sweetie!

I am surprised the bossip wrote this article as well..it seems like this is something that would come from the fakeout! I think the white mainstream media did all the reporting they can on something that has not been confirmed by either party or either’s publicist. So why keep reporting and wasting time and money on something you don’t even know is true. That’s just bad business. So I don’t think it has anything to do with racism because even without knowing Beyonce is still on magazine covers this week but there is nothing much to report. Until they have solid facts I don’t want to read the story anyway.

Side note: I don’t care how famous I ever get I would never agree to keeping the fact that I got married on the low. That’s something I want the whole world to know all this keeping marriage on the low Janet type behavior is rather bizarre to me. And then to be seen out without a ring..yeah right either they are not married or Beyonce is a little slower than usual because there is no time I would take my ring off other than to lotion my hands.

Awww you’re excited about being a baby mama and riding in the front seat of your baby daddy’s car..you are truly an idiot! Reality check sweetie..the fact that you are a baby’s mom and your man didn’t want to make you his wife before he knocked you up should be your first concern..not the color of anyone’s skin. You sound GED educated so that’s all the time that I am going to spend responding to your ignorance.

4/13/08, 15:11:pm

I think it’s been said in this thread, but I had to stop in & agree with 1 thing. It’s asinine to blame the media for being racist, over something like this!?!? It’s the most retarded mentality a person could have in this case. It’s that same “We Shall Overcome”, “Wade in the Water”, “Da White Man Be Holdin the Po Black Man Down” mentality. Get over it, man, this doesn’t have anything to do with that situation!

Are we forgetting that this is Jay-Z (my homie) & Beyonce’s (my homegirl’s) fault? Yes, their fault! THEY’RE the ones who chose to keep the wedding/marriage a secret. THEY’RE the ones refusing to confirm that they’re even married. THEY’RE the ones choosing not to wear any rings in public. But yet, it’s mainstream media’s responsibility to put it on the main cover of the magazines, or else it’s racist!!??? Please, drop that “Roots” mentality, please.

If the 2 parties involved are refusing to be public about something like this, then stop blaming print media for not making it the focus. That’s not racism, that’s just common frickin’ sense!

You’re going to call print media racist, yet, didn’t a Latina get front-cover coverage for her wedding to a minority basketball player. Didn’t another Latina get repeated front-page coverage over her relationships, finally getting married again to another Latin minority singer, her repeated tries to get pregnant, and her getting pregnant finally??? The answer is yes. All those things were on the cover of US Weekly, People, and every other mainstream gossip mag on the planet. And haven’t we seen black-***** Oprah on front covers like those many times along the way? The answer is “yes” again. And haven’t we seen BEYONCE HERSELF on those same covers many times throughout her career???? Yes again. And now, we’ve got Rihanna on those covers all the time too, these days, ALONG WITH those white celebs.

Yet, AFTER ALL THAT, some of us still have the ***** to say it’s racist because Beyonce & Jay’s wedding wasn’t the front cover??? I love the selective memory that comes with that “We Shall Overcome” mentality. Bottom line is, if you go out of your way to keep something secret in this case, then go out publicly denying anything ever happened, don’t be shocked if it’s not going to quite make top story on the front cover. There’s no color in that. Get over it. Thanks, just my opinion.

i guess they should let bossip or mediatakeout have them? you guys have made racist comments about both of them. calling jay-z “camel” and making comments about beyonce’s private parts and hair… who’s the racist???

Of all the things to be calling racist…..

WHO THE F#($* CARES ABOUT CELEB GOSSIP MAGAZINES?????

COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are Jay Z and Beyonce really so important to the black community? God, I wish I was born in the 40s. Then I would be alive in the 60s when REAL progress was taking place. And the celebrities black people looked up to were Malcolm, Martin, Patrice, Kwame, Julius Nyerere, Che, Angela Davis..

and now our heros are people who cater to white audiences, singing about being “bootylicious” and hustling….

Lord help us.



bossip is crap

4/14/08, 00:20:am

let me school ya’ll about the real media. This story is good but without an offical announcement, there nothing to write about but hear -say. No magazine wants to write about what 50 others have written. ya’ll are so racist, ya’ll make me sick. Your page bring black folks down



Rock Steady

4/14/08, 01:15:am

WTF is a “Witch Hagar”? LOL!! Don’t know what it means but sounds funny as hell. Thank you Bossip for the laugh. SMH.

Moving on…

About “Camel” and “Weaves-R-Us”, will black people shut the hell up about the media being racist about not covering their wedding. Have we all forgotten that this event was some sort of top secret event that both Beyonce and Jay-Z wanted to keep private. There is a reason why there are no wedding photos floating around. We haven’t even seen the wedding rings yet. Magazine’s can’t publish photos that they don’t have.

There is nothing inheritantly racist about the lack of coverage. And to be quite honest, I don’t think that the world would care even if there were pictures. As people have mentioned, these two, although I totally respect the way they’ve handled their relationship in the public eye, are boring.

Give me a break and stop playing the race/victim card and leave the outcries of racism for real blacks who are suffering sad and real situations of racism and discrimination. Shame…

4/14/08, 02:53:am

Is it racist media or is it racist consumers that the media is selling to? Why would a business market something that sells less than something else…I think the consumers the ones who set the trends. Effed up as it may be reality is just that…reality.

I am just not so sure what the relevance of this particular insert is about. I mean I can understand the media not paying blacks equally for their personal photos and stories…HELLO THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON RACISM AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE PRESENT AND RELEVANT.

However…I though Beyonce and Jay Z did not want to share their news with the world. So what do they care if their stories don’t make 1st page or whatever. I mean come on. Are you that hard up for cash and attention that you need to be payed more money than is nec*****ary or plausible??

Paleeaa*****seeee.
