Beyonce in blackface?..... What happened to black celebrities?

CORRECTION: BEYONCE APPEARED IN THE FRENCH MAGAZINE L'OFFICIEL'S MARCH 2011 ISSUE - APPARENT TRIBUTE TO FELA KUTI. Beyonce in blackface?..... What happened to black celebrities? What happened to the Paul Robesons, the Bill Cosbys, Dick Gregorys, Mahalia Jackson, etc. Little Wayne does not like dark skinned women but he like to get drunk and lick lollipops! SELF HATRED. Joan Rivers called Michelle Obama Blackie-O. Celebrity obsessed America. African American Black community, black consciousness.

I think ur right the media has frequently made fun of Beyonce's image with her being a willing participant, Some people really don't get it, I don't care who u r, my mom taught me not to let anybody make fun of me to my face or belittle you. Her husband wasn't thing either, b/c if I was Jay I would have told them to recall the damn shoot. Her mom wasn't thinking, she should have told them to paint all of beyonces body if they wanted to do a tribute. Pay attention, don't let people play you damn.

@CarpenterBabe Well said. Our celebrities are not worth our support. They have become so comfortable in their wealth, they have forgotten the challenges that face the everyday black person, they are not conscious to our issues anymore. What happened to KRSOne? Hip Hop is owned by white america, seems like we don't count anymore.

beyonce hasnt put out a statement yet explaning her disgraceful act..somebody in the mainstream better call her out on this bullshit

[Nenendude]

@fashizze Right, It made it to CNN, but I doubt if she'll address it. What could she possibly say?

[fashizze]

cant wait to hear what spike lee, al sharpton, michael eric dyson, tavis smiley, paul mooney, all have to say about beyonce

[Nenendude]

@fashizze Yes, we have coons everywhere. I doubt if any of them have the balls to speak on this. Tavis and Paul might go there and maybe Bill Cosby.

[fashizze]

Blackface is not fashion forward or edgy and in my opinion, it is just flat out offensive. Black folks must have a zero tolerance policy for any manifestation of blackface, period

[MrFalsettoVoice]

Look where your intelligence got you.

[MrFalsettoVoice]

You have no idea about what you're talking about.

[lilcoco770007]

I'm am sooo disgusted at these black boule celebrities. They are not idols or good representation of black people. They are an embarrassment. Black people be you own idol. Look up to yourself ...not these coons.

pretending to be an "african" will ever complain about beyonce's photoshoot ..

[SuperQueenofAfrica]

@dearestjen fela was an artist and guess what if he was alive there would never be a "fela the musical" because when alive trust me, HE DIDNT NEED THE MONEY .... we are not all poor and wretched like the media feeds you LIES ... and as a YORUBA WOMAN i am not offended by beyonce's photoshoot and i am nobodies PET, like this misguided fool calls africans out of hatred and resentment.. it is you americans complaining and minging do you see any african complaining here? .. only a troll channel will

[SuperQueenofAfrica]

@jlemaire22 thank you !!! at least there is ONE BLACK AMERICAN WHO U NDERSTANDS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE PHOTOSHOOT.. this woman here is full of hate for us and has issues she needs counselling .. she even hates on obama saying "ohh we are just doing him a favour" ? wtf?

[SuperQueenofAfrica]

you are whining and complaining about beyonce, she was inspired by FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI.. go and look up this name because am damn sure none of you have ever heard of this NIGERIAN MUSICAL ICON. is this not the same minger calling us africans "PETS" ? and saying "OBAMA IS NOT ONE OF US WE WERE DOING HIM A FAVOUR"??? so what are you complaining about then? after all, the tribute had nothing to do with YOU .. its about us africans who are busy being "PETS" ... ridiculous creature..

[Lifeducation]

Oh my God!! It's a relief to hear wisdom!

[2blakandbold]

It was distasteful because she is not dark skinned!Why not have Ataui Deng or Ale Wek?Their beautiful supermodels!They could have posed with her!

And as far as the comment about Racists only posing in blackface...someone needs to do reasearch!Bert Williams was a blackman who appeared in blackface!The problem is that this sort of publicity is wrong, it's not needed.There was a time when "we" didn't have many options.But today ,there are more opportunities .Intelligence or just plain Greed?
