Beyoncé - L'Officiel Magazine (Making Of Photoshoot)

[Onegurrrlrev]

wow, she looked nice with the black paint on her face. Reminded me of the women of sudan.

[Maticallo]

How some of you can say "They should have chosen a African darker girl" is beyond me. Beyonce is a black woman who has every right and honour to embrace her heritage like ANY other black woman regardless of skin tone .... Why are black people so caught up on this colour thing. I see a beautiful and stunning sister here who is doing the damn thing ....leave her to it !

[NiymbleFingers]

She looks stunning. No matter what shade.

[hearttopmodel05]

People darken there skin all the time, don't they? With spray tans and bronzer and such. In my opinion, darkening your skin is only offensive when it is MEANT offensively. And here it clearly wasn't.

[phatgemini1]

Love You Beyonce'!!!!!!!!

[phatgemini1]

@eiler Just let it go your not right its like your mind is young and you just dont understand.I just dont appreciate your comment some people bring up slavery for the wrong reasons but your comment was wrong and insensitive.peolple still have problems with black people just by our looks.this isnt my everyday rant at all im OK you just pissed me off too!! so have a nice life goodbye

[phatgemini1]

RACIST PEOPLE ARE RIGHT UP THERE WITH KILLERS CHILD MOLESTERS TRAITORS JUST THE FING SCUM OF THE EARTH I WISH WE COULD PUT YALL ON 1 PLANET TOGETHER AND BE RID OF THE POISON!!!

[classyjewel]

She looked beautiful in all the photos, especially the ones with her face painted!

[missmiya100]

why does it seem that the only people who are sayin her painting her face was racist or affending to black people are not even black so wots ur problem im black i this didnt affend me atall although if it was a white person paintin there face black well that would be a whole other story

[cctime731]

this is showing how beautiful the black race is, not killing it.

[germanblume]

it would be insulting if she was white..but obviously she's not! so where's the problem

[blackmigmag]

best photo shooting of Bee

[slk110]

i didnt think so before but she is really beautiful and i think the whole shoot changed my opinion of black women, they can be beautiful too and strong

[JPZ83]

@slk110 lol so stupid you are

[phatgemini1]

@slk110 WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN STRONG BLACK PEOPLE R THE STRONGEST CUZ WEVE BEEN THRU THE MOST SO IF U THINK WERE NOT BEAUTIFUL TELL STOP GETTING TANS AND LIP INJECTIONS IM NOT RACIST I LOVE EVEY INTELLIGENT PERSON IN THE WORLD WHAT R U GOING TO EXPLAIN TO GOD ABOUT THAT COMMENT ? WHAT IS IT GONNA TAKE ALIENS TO TRY TO ABOLISH US FOR US TO BE TOGETHER ITS JUST SAD AND DEPRESSING!!!!

[futureomega]

Yall bastards make me so damn sick, I would rather see he w a darken her face, then bleaching it like Mic, I mean can she do something w/o have ppl downing her for it! She owning 2011, so let her shine, she grind hard... don't hate

[rutendok]

i dnt see any problem.it shows she is proud of her african roots

[korokosso]

not really diggin' this!

[JPZ83]

I ama African African, I don't see any problem with this, she represents all the variation on skin color that we have in the Afro race.

God bless QUEEN B, AFRICAN and of course USA!

[snowball1988]

@JPZ83 i 100% agree

[musoni13]

@JPZ83 i agree my rents are african they dont ahve a prob with it i dont kno why others do GOOD GOD

[TheLexijenx]

Couldn't they get a non celebrity TRUE AFRICAN, born and raised there, to do this? Beyonce's already famous enough, just saying.

[IwannaBeUrGod]

It's Beyoncé Queen, where is the problem?

[moke22]

beyonce is de beste 

[TheTrinity848]

I don't see the point of being so mad at Beyonce for doing a damn photo shoot with her face darkened. It's not like it's offensive or anything but then again some people are just overly sensitive. *Sigh* haters will be haters I guess. If this is the best they can come up with then good for them.

[blackmigmag]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooouuuu­uuuuuuh. for me its her best shooting !!! dresses are awose! she is beautiful !!! too many curves !

[kamei18]

regiaaaaaaaa! regiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

[dgotmusic]

@ 19 KayKay96 the song is Beng Beng Beng by Femi Kuti

[kennedythalexclusive]

BEAUTIFUL!

[coolfann1]

Why did she paint her face black? She already has a black face.

[drbayoms]

@coolfann1

Because she is a fucking moron. She will do anything her owners tell her to do. It's like LeBron on the Vogue magazine cover. Young black money does not have the sophistication to understand when they are being played. The secret is to use someone who looks like them as a "buffer". Ah, Right on que, you can hear those defending her by screaming "It's art"! I'm not black, but I know there will be thousands of black people who defend her. If only you people TRULY knew.

[Agnelum1]

@drbayoms co-sign. Beyonce is a moron with no bounds. she's become a complete disgrace. i just read about this latest garbage and the idiots responsible saying "the inspiration came from several African rituals during which paint is used on the face"... sooooo, couldn't they use a "REAL" black model instead of "blacking up" this broad? i guess they figured "there'll be too much trouble if we use Gisele Bundchen, but we'll get away with it if we use Beyonce".

[eilier]

@Agnelum1 I really do not get all this commoton!

[Agnelum1]

@eilier ok, i'll break it down for you. the "commotion" stems from the negative stereotypical portrayal of black people. that's why drbayoms mentioned the LeBron James ad that he did. there are subtle undertones there that speak volumes. the LeBron ad was a throwback to the king kong movie poster (the ape holding the white dame).

in this ad, they can't just shoot an ad with normal black/African models that they have to darken her skin and then throw in all this bones & tribal paint crap?

[eilier]

@Agnelum1 But it is the way some african tribes looked . . . so it's no big deal, some black ppl should stipo bitching, You're not slaves anymore

[Agnelum1]

@eilier hahaha. and in that statement i see there is no point in trying to educate you or continue this. you've got some nerve to declare it as "bitching" that people don't want and don't like being cast in negative stereotypes in the 21st century.

please kill yourself before you poison the human gene pool.

[eilier]

@Agnelum1 Why is it negative for you? I mean they looked like that in the tribal africa . . . it's not a Big deal, my ancestors were noisy, and violent vikings . . . the man is better when he accepts his past

[phatgemini1]

@eilier OH NO THE HELL U DIDNT! OF COURSE WE'RE NOT.WHAT DO PEOPLE X PECT AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS OF DEATHN SEPERATION THE LOSS OF OUR HERITAGE AND WAYS NO LAND OR ANYTHING WHEN WE COMB THIS LAND WITH OUR BARE HANDS AND AFTER THAT WE R CONSIDERED THE LEAST BEAUTIFUL OF MANKIND? OH I KNOW TANKS MASTER ISA DO YA WORK FO YAS RIGHT AWAY U JUST DONT WORRY BOUT MYS DIGTY OBAMA N OFFICE SO WE CAN JUST 4 GET BOUT ALL DIS! ALOT OF MY PEOPLE R LOST BUT DONT U DARE BRING UP SLAVERY KKK POLICE BRUTALITY

[eilier]

@phatgemini1 Stop bitching about . . . You're not a slave and your parents were not slaves, so cut it out, If you miss yout heritage . . Then GO BACK TO AFRICA

[phatgemini1]

@eilier ancestors are your fucking parents buy my dmn ticket and i will honestly if you are educated you know good and damn well where that im right .you cant expect for black people to just forget we were treated the worst and have nothing to show for it but anger! I dont condone it but I why the hell would i go back im african american yall brought us here remember this is more my land than yours you stole this just like you stole us I know its hard to swollow GOD BLESS!! PEACE

[eilier]

@phatgemini1 I did not bring you here, and I did not take this land from the natives . . . Pick your shit, and COME BACK TO THE PRESENT

[phatgemini1]

@eilier I cant beleive your a mormon I thought yall were peacefull and religious? You seem very rebellious! I know you could never understand where im comming from. Its called inheritance just like when someone in your family dies you inherit bills or money Im right here in the 7-7-2011 of course you didnt bring me but you told me to go back and stop trying to tell me what to do Im not a slave anymore remember and good damn night!!!

[eilier]

@phatgemini1 I'm not a mormon PAY ATTENTION . . . I know a lot of black european and a lot of black americnas . . . And only the black americans take the race card out . . . I wonder why!!!

[phatgemini1]

@eilier u know a lot, but how many are your friends? u just answered all of your own questions america is where this disgrace happens i know black people in Germany dont have these problems Its only here.you must not be from america if so why are you acting like your first comment wasnt wrong you have no right to tell someone to stop talking abot slavery when people are on here having those same feelings that slve owners had!read them! I cant change the past i guess it will take 400moreyears

[eilier]

@phatgemini1 I don't think so . . . You just love drama, you all do

[Onegurrrlrev]

@eilier America is so race oriented still. I went to a UCLA interview for graduate school and the white program coordinator was very surprised to see i was black and then kept suggesting i should write about "my struggles" in my admissions essay. I was very annoyed. I want to move to europe where they are more accepting and don't make me feel like an outcast. I also worry about starting my career in this country. I think the only way tobe successful is to be an entrepreneur.

[eilier]

@phatgemini1 I'm sure you were not ''treated the worst ''

[lilKashRock]

@Agnelum1 my either i totally agree with u

[eilier]

@drbayoms I Don't see a Problem

[19KayKay96]
