Oh, So This Is Why Beyonce And Oprah Weren't At The State Of The Union Address Last Night

When President Obama strutted down the aisle at the State of the Union Address last night, I was wondering why his main back-up dancers, Beyonce and Oprah, weren't sashaying behind him. But now I know why. The Empresses of the United States had something more important to do. They had to sashay down the red carpet at the premiere of Beyonce's HBO Beyoncementary Life Is Butter Dreams in NYC.

I don't know which one isn't worthy enough to be in the presence of the other one? If the Queen of the World, Beyonce, is standing next to the other Queen of the World, Oprah, which one is the true reigning Queen of the World in that picture? If a diamond is shining bright like a star next to a star shining bright like a diamond, which one is shining brighter? If a 9 inch dick is lying next to another 9 inch dick in front of me, which one do I lick first? These are the questions I ask myself whenever I see Phoebe Price and Shauna Sand in the same picture. These are the questions that keep me up at night.

As Jay-Z, a face-snatched Tina Knowles and a pant-less Basement Baby (I think her wig ate her pants) got on their knees and prayed, Beyonce and Oprah created an infinite holy light by posing together for the paps at the Life Is Buttocks Cream premiere. If I look hard enough, I think I see hairs sticking out of Beyonce's pits, but there's no way those hairs grew out of her body. Beyonce is as naturally smooth as Gayle King's freshly waxed taint (it's just how O likes it). Beyonce is obviously wearing a lace front armpit wig. Yeah, I'm sure Beyonce stole that idea from a picture she saw on somebody's Pinterest page, but when lace front armpit wigs become the must-have accessory of 2013, we'll all have Beyonce to thank for it.

I don't care if she's purple, green or yellow, she's still a vapid ignoramus.
While I don't have the absolute instant hate for her like I do for Lady CaCa, she's quickly getting there.

The same assholes who shit on Beyonce for talking about her Creole heritage are the same cunts who shit on Obama for """rejecting""" his white half.*
______________________________________

EEEEEEEEH wrong again stupid bitch. I could give a shit less about Obama being black or white. And in spite that that might have been A LOT of people's angles as to his "race" and people saying he's the first this or that, he doesn't seem to promote it like Beyonce. Any press conference I've seen him in he doesn't constantly go on about his blackness or whiteness...Also you're an idiot.

I read nothing about her having family in Louisiana. If by family you mean "ancestors" like the supposed "Acadian" leader(because it's ALWAYS leader) that could have been anywhere from North America to parts of Quebec. There is a parish in Louisiana called Acadiana. That's different though. Even if she did have relatives that lived in Louisiana that's not really relevant to her. That's like me saying I have relatives all over the United States and other countries...So what??? Unlike Bey, I'm not trying to exploit it like it somehow makes me interesting. Also how do black not seem or aren't able to associate with their other "roots?" Every Mardi Gras in New Orleans the black indians wearing Native American garb. They celebrate their native culture side all the time. No one gives them shit for it. No one denies them. EVEN THEY EXPLOIT IT Less than Beyonce. You said yourself she's brought up her creole shit from DAY ONE. Why do that CONSTANTLY...if you're not trying to exploit it?
Bitch is attractive, she's even an Okay singer, but bitch is also a fucking asshole trying to exploit her heritage and I am just over her stupid ass.

The same assholes who shit on Beyonce for talking about her Creole heritage are the same cunts who shit on Obama for """rejecting""" his white half.* If Beyonce DIDN'T talk about being part-Creole, they would shame her too, saying "Well she's not fully black so how dare she say she is black!" And if Obama did an advert for his custom L'Oreal foundation shade in which he makes it clear he is half-white, they would say "He's trying to be white!"

Because that's the thing with racists.** There is no way for a person of colour to be that would satisfy them. And they are even less comfortable with a person of colour who is not a stereotype.

*Even though identifying as a black man ISN'T a rejection of his white half.
**This includes white racists, and racist people of colour who shame their own for "trying to be white".

First off, if Beyonce wants to lighten her skin, that's her choice. I may not like it, but that's her choice,a nd she has to live with it. Nobody calls people who tan liars. Secondly, my point about black/Creole/Native culture was because the implication is that if someone predominately African features, then they have no other racial identity, and even if they do, it's so far back it doesn't count. Also, I don't have to research what Creole is. My father's family is Creole from New Orleans and St. Landry, so I am quite familiar with the term, it's history and it's culture. My mother's family s from the Cane River area and was raised by a Creole great uncle, so yeah, I do know a teensy bit about Creoles without having to do research. Still doesn't mean that Bey can't mention her heritage. She's been talking about it since she hit the scene--nothing new to report.

I realize Beyonce's background makes her like most black people. I have mentioned that a few times on other posts. I even made a reference to it here. Lastly, who gives a shit about Beyonce, her mama, how she wears her hair, what she colors her skin with, etc? All of that is superficial. You are hating on the girl because of aesthetics which is beyond ridiculous. Hate her for her character, or lack thereof.

I said her family is from Louisiana, not specifically her mother.

This dumb ho is suppose to be playing at the Essence Festival in New Orleans. And just an FYI to everyone saying Bouncy's Medusa looking mother is from Louisiana, she's not. She's from Texas. I bet Bouncy'd milk that for all it was worth like she does her fucking "creole" status though. I can't with her and her exploiting her "culture" for press time and because she thinks it makes her seem more interesting....It doesn't.

1)First thing that comes to mind is her promo for her documentary talking bout how she gotta figure ways to stay current. Current boo. Not DAILY. I like shrimp. No...i loves some shrimp. Can prepare it differnt ways and still get xcited. I dont want no shrimp DAILY. I dont want B DAILY. It gets sickening after awhile. 2)Factor in the mind f*ck she tryna pull on the fans that adore her. She plays this "why did God bless me, tears rollin down her face" for the docu drama, yet she cannot control the UNNECCESSARY homage she pays to the devil. Does anybody think that these 2 got where they at by being good honest church going people who deserves all this fortune? HELL NO! Her man calls himself HOV aka thinks he is Jesus and they WEAR BAPHOMET rings, clothes, dance on baphomet stages, their FRIENDS wear baphomet clothes...they flashing hand signs at EVERY public photo op like they are TEENAGERS and they older than all offsides. 3)What is done in the dark always come to the light....and like DMX once said, its dark and HELL is hott. Flash ur triangle sign if you feeling my energy *HA* #Jesus is the way 2 tha light

Yeah, really. REALLY. I was raised around women built like that, went to church every Sunday seeing women like that. I've come to appreciate women in all sizes but that right there? Baby, that's home.

You see the way she wearing that dress? You see them big, soft, plush lookin' titties? I know they ripple every step she takes. And her butt? Lawd, I just want to spoon with her in a warm bed on a cool night, wake her up about 2:30 in the morning and git some.

Look at that arm fat, man I'd stick my bidnizz in between that and perv myself stupid on her. Roll her on her back, bury my head in her neck, grab big handfuls of that ass and just grind, mmm mm mmmmm.

So yeah, really. Seriously. Rosie O'Donnell said this mexican dude once told her why he was checking her out instead of her slimmer girlfriend; "Bone is for the dog. Meat is for the man." Ya feel me? ;-)

these discussions do matter -- it's not just internet bullshit, some of these discussions of race and gender on dlisted to the core of our prejudices against each other that get acted out consciously or subconsciously in our daily lives. as kortni so eloquently put it there is "involuntary racism" everywhere towards everyone. we are different i guess in that i do "gaf" about talking about this stuff and everybody getting their shit on the table and dealing with it

You even touched upon the black community's attitude toward you in your response to me, so... Anyway, keep on with the lessons. We obviously need them! Oh, and it seems like you are quite beautiful to look at.

I'm sorry you've experienced that. I've experienced the opposite where I've been told I'm pretty for a black girl or I would be really pretty if I were light skinned (this by both blacks and whites). On the flip side, I've also been accused of being an Oreo, uppity and trying to 'talk white'. To all those people I said fuck you. You are not going to put me in a box and define who I am.

If you're going to comment on black folks and our skin color and hair texture, you should have a basic understanding of the subject.

====================================================

I think if you're going to criticize someone else's comments, you shouldn't shoot yourself in the foot with your own comments, and you should know what you're responding to.

You said: "90% of African Americans whose ancestors were enslaved have white ancestry. And the number with Native American ancestry varies between 25-75% Depending on who you talk to."

Thank you for bringing that up. Because knowing that, you should conclude that beyonce's not different in terms ancestry than any other African American.

I never said that beyonce didn't have a creole ancestor. I also never claimed that creoles didn't have French & Native American heritage, so it's ridiculous that you wrote a post responding to me as if I had said those things.

I said:

"...she [Beyonce] constantly talks about being creole...as if that's the perfect defense to the never ending skin lightening (and blonde wigs, and nose jobs, and hazel contact lenses)."

My point, which you missed, was that she uses "creole" as an excuse for personal, aesthetic choices.

If "90% of African Americans whose ancestors were enslaved have white ancestry", it's funny that 90% of African Americans don't necessarily use that fact to justify skin lightening, blonde wigs, nose jobs, and contacts. Beyonce does. Which is why her personal aesthetic choices are not exactly the same as someone just deciding to wear contacts, dye their hair, or whatever. Beyonce could just do what she does, and let that be it, but she needs to justify herself with "creole", the same way she needs to lie about things that don't matter (or wouldn't if she didn't lie about them). She's a bullshit artist.

You said that people "make being Creole about skin color...It should be about culture."

Has it never occurred to you that beyonce is one of those people who make "creole" about skin color rather than culture? Or that she's playing on the ignorance of such individuals? Beyonce's skin has lightened over the years (through makeup or other means). She exclusively wears blonde wigs, has narrowed her nose to a point, and started wearing hazel contacts. She says she's creole. But beyonce admittedly speaks no French or Patois, and knows nothing about Creole culture (She only ever mentions that her mother makes gumbo, and that she had a Creole ancestor on her mother's side of the family.)

It's not about heritage, it's about justification. Being "creole" implies French and/or Native American ancestry, as you say (I never denied this. But it's cute you looked up "creole" for this discussion). These need not be specifically noted, unless you want justification for skin lightening, blonde wigs, nose jobs, and contacts (that's why I brought up her throwing "French" and "Native American" out there).

And for the record, beyonce's eyes aren't hazel just because Trya Banks' might be. Beyonce had brown eyes until relatively recently. Also, beyonce's natural hair color isn't blonde, it's dark brown.

I also said: "It started out as pathetic, and now it's annoying. And her stans make it worse, wanting to argue endlessly about her creole-ness, and pseudo-genetics bullshit about how 1/100th of a drop of French blood 250 years back in her mother's side of her family tree make it reasonable that she's lightened 10 shades in 10 years."

I stand by that comment.

I don't care what she does with her body. I do care about bs being waved in my face.

You claimed that you met beyonce. Even if I chose to believe that, what is that supposed to prove? That you met her when she was slathered in make-up? Or after she had avoided sunlight for weeks? Or after years of skin treatments? Sorry, no cigar.

Finally, I never brought up Beyonce's daughter.

Foxxy - did Tina actually renounce her citizenship? I knew she had narrowed her dating material down to European men because they were more "romantic", and before that she had narrowed her dating down to white men.

Interesting fact: I read her book and she says she never experienced any racism in the extremely small southern (gasp) town she was born and raised in. I've heard the same thing from several prominent black artists and such, too. Many of them have also said they only became aware of being treated differently when they moved up to the "liberal" north or moved to big cities like Chicago (ghettos: the end result of liberal utopian dreams and places where the underclass are sure to stay the underclass and therefore vote Democrat into perpetuity!). Another interesting fact: Oprah says she didn't experience any racism in her small southern town either. She was, however, raped by her uncle. Oh well, love Tina.

Yesss to all that Foxxy Brown... Ok I'll take Janelle Monae any day over Bey even Jilly from Philly..

To the people who are saying they like/liked Beyonce but she went from being private to being everywhere because she's trying to prove she really carried BIC, please correct me if I'm wrong here. Though I didn't see the actual show, didn't she put on a big production of "ME! ME! ME! ME! ME!" when she let the world know she was pregnant? Was that award show HER award show? I only saw a clip and some pictures of her coyly caressing her stomach while the audience squealed but let me tell you, that little scene did not endear her to me (and I did like her somewhat before even though I knew nothing about her because of the Kanye/Taylor Swift incident, which I didn't witness in real time either but only saw after the fact). Now she is truly acting like she is the most special person in the world while faking just about everything it seems. Maybe the slobbering devotion from the likes of GOOPY has finally gone to her head, but when "Put A Ring On It" is the sum total of your contribution to the world... well, she doesn't deserve a big head. She deserves her money and fame, but not that attitude.

Yay! But just to confirm, you were talking about Pinky the porn star right?

Also, I never understood why Bey and other African-American celebs, since she's not the first to say this crap, brag about their mixed heritage like anyone gives a flip.

i tend to default to thinking that it is not necessarily a personal lifestyle choice but rather that "their people" have them do it for career advancement to help them become more palatable to "middle america" or the international audience. so many of them do it, there probably are marketing/p.r./sales/etc. studies to back up this approach.

stunningly, i think there are middle [and eastern and western] american consumers and international consumers who buy music and movie tickets but do not like or understand people they perceive as "100%" kinky haired Black American. i know, right? i'm shocked too. perhaps for some reason those people in the mass market feel more comfortable with entertainers with whom they believe they share...something...in common

Y'all need to calm down, lol. None of us know Beyonce and I doubt she'd care if something happened to us.

I don't think Bouncy is lightening her skin in "real life". I do think that she doesn't necessarily mind if her skin is lightened in photos and things as long as the picture is nice. If companies are asking her to misrepresent her skin tone or are doing it on their own accord, she shouldn't go along with it and then turn around and fly the "I'm Black and I'm Proud" flag.

I do think Matt Knowles (and Beyonce is continuing) was very cognizant of the fact that it would be easier to market her as a star if she weren't perceived as "too Black". The older members of Destiny's Child stating that they had to tan lends credence to this theory. Hence the harping on her being Creole. Granted a lot of Louisiana Creoles do it without being famous. I think it goes back to issues of colorism in the African-American community. Many Creoles just as much European ancestry as other African-Americans, they just happen to be lighter in shade.

Also, the skin color issue is just an easy hook for people to get into discussing their dislike of Beyonce. Personally, I find her predictable and packaged. It is very commercially viable for her to be, but being the pageant queen of the music world is fucking boring.

I know TONS of people who are of mixed decent and they don't make a big deal about it. I even know some Creole girls myself who speak French and they don't brag. They're the sweetest people I've ever met. Hell, my cousin is of Japanese, Mexican, and African-American descent, and he doesn't brag. I don't get it! *Kanye shrug*
