Love her! But…..I REALLY HATE THAT SHE WEARS THOSE ASHY PANTYHOSE!! They don’t match her skin at all and she wears them with open-toe shoes. Why in the world would she think that’s a good idea?!

I’ve heard that song so much and I’m not that big of a fan, so I’m pretty much sick of it literally. I’m ready to check my own self into a Mental Home each time I hear it – I want to pull my ears off my head. LMAO

Gay love it just because of the c*****graphy! ok i tried to do it, its really difficult lol! The song is catchy but not great at all! but since its beyonce oh well… well, when you look @ that list, rihanna with “disturbia”, katie perry with “i kissed a girl”! Sounds like great music is NOT popular lately!



WOW

12/12/08, 13:24:pm

Congrats, the chic is gifted and can really sing, but Yawn…I’m real tired of seeing her non-acting self.

Light skin, fake blonde hair, and butt pads sure come in handy in the entertainment business. Eurocentrism at it’s finest.What type of “black” woman dyes her hair blonde? Only the self-hating ones.I bet you if she was black as coal with short natural hair and singing real music no one would even listen to her.



Blondiedred

12/12/08, 13:43:pm

@ Ayita Loves Adam

You have issues honey and you must be dark skinned with short hair.



♥Ayita Loves Adam♥

12/12/08, 13:46:pm

Blondiedred-Yep and I’m proud. I find it funny how Black people are the only race of people who have a problem with natural hair on a Black women. It’s funny how some of these Black men claim that they love natural hair on a woman but they always go for these phony ***** light skin women or women with long hair.

12/12/08, 13:49:pm

@Ayita: You’re right. What ever happened to India Irie??

Okay…so does Bey want a cookie basket or a I dont give a sh_t basket?



Pretty Brown Thing

12/12/08, 13:50:pm

Surprise surprise.

@Blondiedred…

What do you mean dark skinned with short hair. That is a complete insult. I am very dark skinned with short hair and I don’t have issues. It’s people like YOU who are splitting up people of all races by the color of their skin and length of their hair. That’s ignorant. SMH.

@ Ayita Loves Adam

Unfortunately, that’s what sells. My sister is rockin blond right now.. she’s dark, she has a big booty and she looks great. She has no self esteem problems and is a successful African American female. Stop the madness and be happy for your people … and I mean ALL PEOPLE.

DAMN

12/12/08, 13:53:pm

Raquel-The last time I saw India Irie is on tv she did some sorta of AIDs thing in Africa with Ashley Judd.

It’s so weird how Black men don’t really like natural hair though. I’ve been natural for 2 years and my hair is in a full fro and I’ve gotten some nasty remarks from Black men and other Black people about how I should get a relaxer and all of that bull*****. I get a lot of compliments from other races of people though and my boyfriend is White and he doesn’t complain about my hair and he likes it and he prefers it natural.

Stop hating on light skinned black women, she was born light skinned, yeah the hair and everything is fake, but she can’t change her skin color damn.



♥Ayita Loves Adam♥

12/12/08, 13:57:pm

Pretty Brown Thing- I never can accept Blond hair on a black women or on people of color in general it’s not a good look. Why should I kiss Beyonce’s ***** like everyone does on this site? I don’t like her, her music, or her personality(she has non). I don’t think she’s teaching a good message to young girls and in particular Black women. We need more Black women in the business like India Irie, Lauryn Hill, Jill Scott, Alicia Keys, etc. Who talk abotu self-esteem, self-respect, and confidence in their songs. They don’t have to sell sex or shake their *****es to get attention. They keep it real.



Janelle

12/12/08, 13:58:pm

@ Blondiedred
Thank you, another dark skinne dblack woman hating on us light skinned black women just because, news flash sweety, WE WERE BORN THIS WAY!



♥Ayita Loves Adam♥

12/12/08, 14:00:pm

Janelle-I’m not hating on light-skinned women I’m jsut tired of everyone making a big deal on how light skin is suppose to be prettier and more attractive. I bet you would freak out if you were the only dark-skinned person in your family. Do you know how the hell that feels to be called ugly by your own father? My dad would call me ugly and Black all the time and said that I would never be married.



blaq

12/12/08, 14:00:pm

@ Ayita

Really? I always get so many compliments from black men when I wear my hair natural. But the white men always compliment me on my weaves, I suppose it’s where you are at. Funny



♥Ayita Loves Adam♥

12/12/08, 14:01:pm

I bet if it were the opposite, if dark skin was considered more attractive and light skin considered ugly than you would be angry to.



Janelle

12/12/08, 14:01:pm

I see alot of darl and light skinned women wearing weaves, I hate all weaves period, but stop chopping light skinned women down, can we live? Damn…..



♥Ayita Loves Adam♥

12/12/08, 14:03:pm

blaq-maybe its because I’m in college. Men in their teens and 20s want long and straight hair.



Janelle

12/12/08, 14:04:pm

I see alot of gorgeous dark skinned women and I see alot of gorgeous light skinned ones too, most of the men I meet actually prefer dark skinned women, but then again I am from The Chocolate City (DC), I am just tired of being looked at funny for no reason when I walk into a room becuz my skin is light.



jandsmama

12/12/08, 14:05:pm

I don’t care what color B is just take off the granny hose! Not a good look!



♥Ayita Loves Adam♥

12/12/08, 14:05:pm

Janelle-I don’t chop all light skinned women down. It’s annoying to see the same look in the media and magazines all the time. I hate it when people call beautiful women like Alek Wek and Estelle ugly, I bet if they were light than they wouldn’t be saying that. I don’t get it why people think Keyshia coles is ’sexy” or even “beautiful” I think she is plain and ghetto looking.I bet if she was dark attitudes would be different.



Jazz

12/12/08, 14:05:pm

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME RIGHT?? THAT SONG WAS WACK!! I LIKED” I KISSED A GIRL” BETTER OR SOME LIL WAYNE SONG.



♥Ayita Loves Adam♥

12/12/08, 14:08:pm

Janelle-I’m from DC too and but I went to high school and I go to college in Northern VA. I never hear any guys in the DC area say that they like dark-skinned girls. Never…usually people stare at me because I’m very dark and they *****ume that I’m African. I’m really mixed with Puerto Rican, Jamaican, and some Trinidadian.



Janelle

12/12/08, 14:10:pm

Kenya Moore- damn gorgeous
Angela Basette-does she even age?
Gabrielle Union
Naomi Crazy ***** Campbell – shes beautiful, but she is crazy
Jennifer Hudson-big and beautiful
I could go on for days, do your homework, there are so many beautiful dark skinned black women in entertainment

Janelle

12/12/08, 14:10:pm

I hear it ALL the time.



♥Ayita Loves Adam♥

12/12/08, 14:14:pm

Really, I live in all parts of Dc except SW and I never hear that. But in VA all the Black guys like is White girls to a point where it borderlines an obsession. I date out of my race and my boyfriend is white but my main preference is Black men.



♥Ayita Loves Adam♥

12/12/08, 14:21:pm

A lot of these Black women in the bussiness lighten their. That what makes me really mad. What wrong with being dark?



Janelle

12/12/08, 14:22:pm

@ Ayita
Yeah, most of the men I have dated not only prefer them but will be quick to say I am the first light one they have dated, good dudes too, not bums, I think its all in the attitude. Really. The media plays up light skinned becuz of the white man, they want to create separation in the black community so they try to makes us jealous of each other to the point of hate, I may be getting too deep, but its the truth. I do not think I am better than anyone darker than me, I wish I had more color, I get ple as sh@t in the winter. But its hard being a light skinned black woman bcuz u get it from both sides, the whites and your own, its like you’re not real cuz ur light. The white man looks down on you and your own people look down on you, so whre do you go when u want to belong?



Raquel26

12/12/08, 14:22:pm

*clapping hands*

Applause goes to Ayita for her real comments about this topic WITHOUT having to use language meant for children. And thus far, I agree with alot of what you said. My mom wears her hair natural (it just curls up once its dry) and she says that she will never go back to a relaxer. She had to get it done one day and it was straightened out….when she went to work, her boss was like…..I like this way better (talking about her “straight” look). Ha! I love my mom! She told her, “good, because I’m changing it back tomorrow”. lol

These days men dont like what they like, they like what the media and T.V tells them to like. Sad, they dont have a mind of their own. If I thought like most young men do, I’d be mad because these n_ccas out here dont look like Chris Brown, or Boris Kudjoe, or Shemar Moore, or Idris Elba, etc. But I like what Raquel likes…….

And its funny that they dont do this to black men on television (you know, make them all European like) but they WILL put them with a white girl though. It’s sad but….they’re brainwashed. Even some females too. The ones who think they’re sh_t doesnt stink because they are light-skinned. They have issues as well.

And this all goes back to me saying that we are STILL slaves mentally. But thats a whole other post.



Raquel26

12/12/08, 14:28:pm

@Ayita: There isnt anything wrong with being dark-skinned. I’m actually light-skinned and I think that dark-skinned women are more attractive to me.

But as a whole, I think we are all beautiful. White women TRY to look like us and to get the shades we are. They have a monthly deduction from their budget to visit the tanning salon. And if you’ve ever been in one, it smells HORRIBLE!!!!

I wish black people would wisen up. This all came from the “house n_cca” and “field n_cca” syndrome.

The lighter skinned slaves were treated better than the darker ones. And it has evolved into us hating each other skin tones (amongst other things).

12/12/08, 14:29:pm

@ Ayita

no black man has ever appreciated your dark skin?



♥Ayita Loves Adam♥

12/12/08, 14:30:pm

Janelle-It is sad. I had a aunt who was very light, she looked Italian and she would get mad because people didn’t think that she was Black.

Raquel-Yeah, I noticed that on a lot of Black shows/videos and on BET that they always pair the Black guy up with someone lighter. Or they have all of these mixed and non-white women on their shows. Like the host of BET News Sharon Carpenter isn’t even Black at all. She is White British and East Indian. Why they hell is she on BET? I don’t even watch it anymore because all of the bad shows and bad music.



♥Ayita Loves Adam♥

12/12/08, 14:32:pm

blaq-not even my own dad which is funny because my dad is darker than me. there was only one Black guy who did but unfortunately he was a little too old for me.

Janelle

12/12/08, 14:33:pm

@Raquel26
Exactly! The white man wants us to be divided, I love my ni@@a nose, lips, hips, a$$, and everything else. I love myself and that’s what matters.

Not trying to sound like an after school special, lol…

@Ayita
I think chocolate brown skin is beautiful and seriously, but it does not matter what color your skin is or how beautiful u are if you do not have confidence, that is my beauty secret to you.



blaq

12/12/08, 14:45:pm

@ Ayita
That is because your father was ridiculed for his color and unfortunately if we don’t resolve our issues we p***** them on to our children. Plenty of black men adore chocolate and darker women. Nothing wrong with your present boyfriend but know your are desired in the black community. But I also hear a lot of pain. Until you rid yourself of the pain, you will continue to overlook the black men or repel the black men who are attracted to you, see when you feel as though black men are not attracted to your complexion that is the experience you will have. When that changes you will see the rest change. I speak from experience



Born

12/12/08, 14:45:pm

@Ayita Loves Adam,it’s all right girl. I have a best friend who went through the same thing with her mom. And she is chocolate brown and beautiful. My sister and brothers are a shade darker than me and I always loved their earth brown skin and mine too. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Love yourself girl…only youself and the Lord will give you peace. Don’t let your color dictate who you are or how you feel about yourself…Naomi Campbell sure didn’t nor did Alek Wek…and they are beautiful. Neither did Puffy’s egotistical self. LOL over that one…and true everyone can not rock the blond nor should they. I don’t, but of course that is their choice.

ok so what beyonce is lightskinned and has blond hair..she isnt the first ..to whoever is hating on her b/c of it..first off she is in the entertainment industry…we are used to seeing our celebrities glammed up…this isnt new…fake hair isnt new to the game…look at the supremes and singers before them…so what if someone black wants str8 hair..its our choice…it may or may not be influenced by whites or any other race stfu already

12/12/08, 16:25:pm

I’ve found the comments both enlightening and hilarious (re: bodyguard chopping bey down…lmao). On the skin note…I unfortunately think that Ayita is more affected by her father’s attitude than she initially stated. While you may not be self-hating, you seem to have real issues with light-skinned women. I am light-skinned…my mother and her family are extremely fair and my father and his family are very brown. My father definitely dated/married my mother b/c she was fair. Since they broke up he’s only dated (and re-married) light women. But how about when your aunties and your grandma looked at you the day you were born and started talking about how dark you are (I’m not dark, just not as light as them) and everytime you see them they ask why your hair isn’t long. This is absolutely the result of house v. field n*gga syndrome…the result of which is the crab in a bucket phenomenon we see w/in our culture. The very beauty of our culture is that we come in all experiences, shapes, sizes, colors, and hair types! Let’s embrace it folks!

Also, in terms of black women in the media…many are absolutely “whitened up” to be more accepted by a larger (read whiter) crowd. On the other hand, they are also made to appear more tribal and ethnic…but not necessarily in a good way. More like savage and “hottentot venus”…anyone else notice that?

slimpickens

12/12/08, 22:51:pm

I remember when Beyonce first got the publics notice. She had a nice head of shoulder lenth hair then and ahe still has it. What difference does it make if she wears weave or hair extensions? She is a nice looking young lady and she is not resopnsible for her complexion. If she chooses to wear her hair blonde so what.

I co sign. Beyonce’s real hair is shoulder length. So what if she wears weave. That is her choice. She looks nice when she has all of her hair back.

12/13/08, 02:20:am

Paris hilton wsears fake hair all the time. Brittney wears weave, but black people are always criticizing other black people for doing so.

I love bey, but I don’t really like that song. I think she took 3 steps backwards with that one. She should have gave that one to Kelly. But, I did buy her album.

OH god, here yall go with this dark skin, light skin Bull*****. WTF. Look I have met some Fugly light skin women and some fugly dark skin women. Its all in your genes baby, if your have fugily genes it doesn’t really matter if your light or dark your still fugily. If you have beautiful genes once again, It doesn’t really matter if you are light or dark. I have met some beautiful dark & Light skin women. You know the kind of women that are so pretty, you find yourself staring at them(No homo). I have also met some ugly azz dark & light skin women the kind that are so ugly that you hope they don’t procreate and p***** that ugliness off on another person. Don’t hate on Bey because she’s beautiful. I always tell haters. Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful, hate your momma for f6cking with your ugly a$$ daddy or vice versa.

Here we go again, more Beyonce.

Papa Knowles must be paying bossip pretty decently for all this coverage, and somwhere in that contract Bossip needs to mention and show a picture of Beyonce every day, one that has been sent by Papa Knowles of course.

Let’s be real, where would Bossip get the funds to send a photographer/paparazzi to Paris to take pictures of Beyonce.

All I am saying is Bossip is on the payroll. Is there something wrong with that? Comments please.

@Ayita
i totally understand where youre coming from girl, but please dont let it affect you in this way. im also dark, and used to have self esteem issues when i was younger due to people’s insulting comments. but as i grew up more and more people started to see my beauty, i think its also coz i carry myself with such confidence. though i live in africa, i think black people’s mindsets are the same all over the world.

12/15/08, 14:52:pm

I never liked this single and of course it’s no secret that I am not feeling Ms. B.

However good music is good music and I don’t think this song is all that and I happen to like some of Beyonce’s music. I just prefer her age appropriate stuff.

I truly believe that she made this song for her chicken headed, young minded and low cl***** fans. Cuz for a grown ***** women that song is whack and definately not age appropriate.

YEAH I SAID IT….
