NOBODY CARES: Beyonce

Sandra Rose March 17, 2009

Do we have to post every single cover of every single magazine that this wench Beyonce is featured on??? Don’t worry, I’m not posting the latest magazine cover that Beyonce is on, but I did take an interest in this photo from the feature inside the magazine.

Take a good look because black people have already been superseded in the media by mixed race people. It’s going to be even worse now that this country has elected a mixed race president. If you have dark skinned kids, they won’t see themselves represented in the media.

And I hope that’s a little girl standing in front of Beyonce giving the camera the business like a mini B. Scott?

Charles

Sandra thats a boy hes here hes queer and he proud of it

Oh so that’s why you hate Barack? Because he is light skinnedded? Normally I don’t buy into your color issues, but even I noticed that all the children were light skinnedded with the exception of two of them. But what can you do? Maybe they represent the black race in Italy. Heck in your own country there are an extrodinary amount of mixed race people from what I’ve seen.

i see a couple of dark skin kids in this photo….but what a petty topic!!
Kymystry

Charles .. KWallace and Divine were Banned … as far as I know .. YOU are the only one who can say and do whateva and be “banned” .. and yet remain on the site …

Well…

Good thing Barack Hussein Obama didn’t PERPETRATE the “light skinned” sterotype by marrying a “light skinned” woman…

SIGH…

“Oh so that’s why you hate Barack? Because he is light skinnedded?” by Bird
===================================================

i was about to say the same thing. i see now if he was white or dark skinned it would be ok. so all of the other people who dis like President Obama, hate him because he has light skin as well ? i cant help you with your feeling of self hate or worth, but President Obama didnt create him self, he had no choice over what his skin color would be. i dont think beyonce chose the kids in the photos maybe you should question the photographer as to why he chose the kids he chose.
sexyma078

As I stated yesterday I AM RESPONSIBLE for my kids in all ways…I dont want them looking to the media for anything but information not self assurance….maybe sandra that is why you have your issues because noone told you you were beautiful (YOU ARE OKAY)…I didn’t have to look to mags, tv ect. to know I was beacause I was told everyday by my mother father and as I got older myself (i still start the day with I love you your beautiful. NOw i instill those same thoughts into my kids if you know your self worth others will see it and respect it!!!

I thought the relevancy of African American skintones died with slavery? Cause TODAY yella, brown, or blurple you still have one box to check!
Kymystry

ok … at the end of the day … they BLACK .. light skin .. dark skin .. paper sack brown .. pecan tan .. high yella .. dirty red … WE ARE ALL BLACK !

I’ll take a million solange in war paint posts and hear about Sandra’s holy trinity ( Monica, Tiny and Diamond) than these uninspired posts about this creole heifer. She already said she wishes she was Latino, leave her be already Sandy.

why was kwallace banned?????!
Kymystry

Karaz … KWeezy asked to be banned … she felt the treatment of folk who spoke their minds was unfair .. and the fact Sandra allows some to get away with much worse…

again .. this is Sandra’s Blog … shrugs
keely107

@sexyma:

(applause) Cause ANYONE who uses their skintone or THE MEDIA to validate themselves CLEARLY had other issues going on.
Lala11_7

Okay…

I couldn’t see the picture earlier…

Hats off to “Auntie” (though it CHOKES me to type this and Auntie knows why…but I will ALWAYS give credit where credit is due, in hopes that OTHERS do the same) on the “Monica” gif….CLASSIC SISTA STANCE!!! LOVES IT!!!

And yes…Black folks do come in incredibly wonderful hues of brown…though if you look at ANYTHING that has to do with Ms. Jay-Z and the “House of Horrors…I mean Dereon”, you WON’T see that particular hue on the other end of the spectrum…

And unfortunately…the “dark/light” war continues no matter how subversive it SEEMS to be…I only have to look at my own messed up family to see THAT!!!

I DIDN’T KNOW WE CAN PICK THE COLOR OF OUR SKIN WE ARE BORN IN…OH WAIT WE CAN’T!
BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL IN EVERY SHADE!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE MY BLACK SKIN..LOVE MY RACE!!!!!!!!!
IT SAD/PATHETIC OTHER RACES AND EVEN OUR OWN RACE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE COLOR BLACK SKIN NO MATTER WHAT SHADE IT IS.
Shauny

@Kym
I didn’t know that’s why kwall isn’t here anymore. She was cool peeps and blogger (my fellow Chi town sista). Dang

Also, what you speak is the truth. There are a few peeps on here that must be kin folks because they got away with murda!
KaraZ

WTF, how did I miss that?
heavn_sent

LOL @ sexyma..I agree..Sandra is definitley the one with issues.
teecee

as some one who went to college in da 80’s, black college campus weren’t so much about skin color. light skinned and drk skinned people protested. we protested against apartheid and companies who invest in south Africa. the battles people had were about economics. rich kids versus the poor kids was the battle. the preppy look was not cheap. LOL
Daisy

Black is beautiful in ALL shades I agree with that statement but that statment is usually uttered at the lack of brown or dark skinned blacks in media. So sad. All shades are equally pretty to bad a pic this size has only light or light brown *sighs*

I was not impressed by Beyonce on the cover of Italian Vogue w/ the blonde wig. She has no ummph in that pic to me.
jazi65

How come the darker shades are in the back? And who photoshopped the hell out of this photo..her arms & face haven’t been that skinny since destiny’s child!
keely107

@Lala:I only have to look at my own messed up family to see THAT!!!
_________________________________________________________

EXACTLY! There are other issues there!!!! This is used as a scapegoat for OTHER issues.
__________________________________________________________

What about the fact plus sizes are not put on the frontline in the media as well? What about the fact that our NATURAL hair is not accepted widely in the media as well? Skintones being an issue amongst US is like a 350 pound woman calling a 300 pound woman “too fat!” The point being is we still have the same battles to fight, same stereotypes to break, same statistics to escape. If my sistahs and brothas wanna argue amongst themselves about who is of higher esteem, thats ignorant, truth is we have much bigger battles to fight and sure to NOT win if we are steady fighting amongst ourselves.
Kymystry

Yep @ Shauny … Blogger too … but we all keep in touch on the reg… one good thing came outta posting our email addy’s …

Thanks Sandra for this blog… it has brought friends together …. we’re more like extended family

@ teecee .. I went to a The Oldest Historically Black College in America.. Lincoln Univ Pa .. and I honetly didn’t experience the “colorism” on campus .. it was just a bunch of Black Folk …

wait … I take that Back .. Rush Week … A.K.A’s back there were excuslively light and I was considered as I wasn’t TOO dark and had “pretty” hair is what one of the Big sister’s told me … I didn’t pledge and won’t.
Daisy

OFF TOPIC- Speaking of covers and spreads, Kim and Reggies GQ spread is right cute. I know most on this site don’t like her but I think they make a cute couple!
iscream

I still don’t know why Caramel drop was banned? Kwallace was cool and funny till her last post. When she begged Sandra to ban her she didn’t have to be comical about it. & as I stated b4 I feel Divine B was banned unfairly. She apologized for hurting whomever feelings and she seemed sincere. After that it seemed people were being banned left & right.

But at the end of the day this is Sandra’s board and she does what she see’s fit. So my opinion is just another a hole.
Kymystry

iscream … one person cried wolf.. and Sandra felt she needed to break up a “clique” … rollin eyes … whateva … Divine DID apologize as did Blogger .. and yet they are still bannished … KWeezy … she was riding for her sister’s … I can’t call it ..

all I know is … I was called a HO by Charles …. he was banned for it .. and she allowed him back .. he called Tiny a Ho .. his comment was banned and he’s still here …

make sense to anyone ? ?
sexyma078

OH AND MY SPIRIT DIED AT THE MINI B.SCOTT comments….that was hilarious!!!
http://www.hiphossip.com Kemi at HipHossip Canada

Sandra, I disagree with you on that dark skin bit. Though I can’t stand this Beyonce cover, they should have taken children of different ethnic groups. my celeb son KJ is the darkest in the land and I am getting him media exposure. Just check out thekidreporterdotcom. I am not taking that competition crap from any light skin brat!
teecee

President Obama had nothing to do with the bonus AIG paid its executives. those contracts are between the employees ans AIG. those contracts are valid and they can take AIG to court and get their money unless AIG ask them to renegotiate those contracts. contract wok both ways and its not President Obama fought AIG negotiated bad contracts knowing they had short amount of cash.
Shauny

I didn’t know Carameldrop was banned either, I thought she just stopped coming on. When did I miss that?

I was on here when the whole D, B, and A battle went down and in the end they squashed it themselves. Then there was another battle with 2 other ladies…dang the battles use to be popping on here…lol
Shauny

@teecee
I was going to comment on the latest Obama bull post but I wont even waste my breath.
iscream

@ keely # 26 I soooooo agree with everything you just said. I know Dove started a campaign for plus size women.

I hate the way the media acts as if we are all the same when we are not. The way they did Jessica Simpson is a damn shame. & she is one of theirs. & what does her dumb azz do. Go and lose a ton of weight. That’s not how you win the fight. You have to fight back.

& putting the blame on Beyonce is crazy. She has all kind’ve women in her videos and band. Big women, dark women, tall women, short women, skinny women.
Freak’em dress had plus size women.
& kudos’s to Jamie Foxx for advocating his love for the big girls (if he really like women that is)

@ Kym I’m sorry that you were called out of your name. & by a man who is always reaching out like he has respect for you, confusing.
missmiami

Ditto @ Sandra, I agree. Blacks already feel that the lighter you are; the more priveleged u r.

I wonder who these kids are. that girl in the front favors a young Beyonce. Are they her cousins? Are they creole?

they’re cute.

anyway, mixed people come in all shades and with all physical feature, even as dark as you. The issue isn’t whether or not more/less blacks are shown in the media – It’s more “Is there fair phenotype representation across the board?”

No matter what a person looks like, or what their heritage or bloodline is…we all should be able to look in the media and see people who look like we do. It doesn’t matter if one is pale with straight blonde hair, or brown with red kinky hair.
GAGIRL73

OH LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR, I’M SPEAKING FOR ME.
NOT ALL BLACKS WITH A LIGHTER SHADE OF SKIN THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN OTHER BLACKS WITH DARKER SHADES ATLEAST I DONT. MY SKIN IS ON THE LIGHTER SHADE OF BLACK. MY MAMA (RIP) AND SON ARE A DARKER SHADE OF BLACK AND WHERE & ARE BEAUTIFUL. I LOVED THE BEAUTY OF MY MOMS SKIN AND LOVE MY SON’S SKIN TONE. SOME PEOPLE EVEN ASK IF I’M HIS MOTHER DID I BIRTH HIM. MY ANSWER TO THEM WHY DO YOU ASK THAT LIKE IT’S IMPOSSIBLE. ARE YOU ASKING DUE TO THE DIFFRENCE OF OUR SKIN COLOR AND NO I’M NOT NICE ABOUT WHY SHOULD I BE!!
HIS MINE FOR THE TOP OF HIS HEAD TO THE BOTTOM OF HIS FEET IS ME! AS FOR MY BABY GIRL AND MY HUSBAND ARE IN BETWEEN AND I LOVE THEY SKIN COLOR, SO ONLY (CERTAIN BLACKS) OF THE LIGHTER SHADE OF SKIN THINK THAT ALL! NO MATTER WHAT SHADE OF BLACK YOUR ARE, YOUR ARE STILL SEEN AS BLACK…LOVE IT!
IF ANY TYPO’S I’M SORRY!!!

keely107

Sad topic, I tell you, “blacks”/people in this world feel all kinds of ways that arent justified factually, but pick one topic that someone is insecure about and here we go its everybody’s fault but the person who needs the empathy card. What about the lil’ boys out here that think it cool to “sag” they pants then walk around pulling them up all day? What about the 13 year old girls that think having a baby is cute? What about the super smart student scared to challenge their mind in fear of being “lame”? What part did the MEDIA play in this? Those that even pay attention or care how others feel about themselves are obviously not paying enough attention to their own person. I surely dont know what this chick in the cube next to me thinks of her complexion in contrast to mines, and please ask me so I care.
miamore73

Some of those kids may be light but I bet they all aren’t directly mixed.

I’m light but both of my parents are light. At what point are u not mixed?

I think alot of America’s children today come from generations and generations of beautiful black people of all shades mixing. We’re all mixed.
omina-homina

EXACTLY! it’s a rare thing to find a person who is full-blooded anything. you can come from many generations of black identified people, have dark skin, kinky hair even and be just as mixed.

starr

I’m gonna have to side with sandra PARTIALLY on this one. the first thing i noticed was the lack of darkskin brownness(if those are even proper phrases to use). I’m not usually one to get caught up in color, but most blacks represented on TV or of lighter shade. uhhh, what was that show with Taye Diggs,( i think). One time i remembered a brwonskin paper, next thing i know its some lightskin baby. Then there was my wife and kids, Jennifer freeman replaced that other gurl…..and it goes on. This is what the media pushes in our face, and yes its the job to let their kids know that they beautiful the way you are, but the media pushes the light is right pretty hard.
intown51

Why did y’all ban Scooty Poop and Hunter Eyes???
intown51

Oh, and my girl Shantazria! Miss you girl!
only1fe

I’m didn’t want to go there.. because these are kids..but i too busy noticing how.. um.. questionable one kid in the pic looks……
but anywhoo
and as a brown skinned mother or a lighter child.. I think a big percentage doesn’t necessarily look to identity with what they see in the media.. but identifies with his household ..and daily interactions.. my family looks like container of those dippin dots. and then the school he goes to has some influence as well. but when he looks in his kids magazines & kids shows on tv. he sees a goood mixture of it all. good example the tv show- Corey ( the lil boy of thats so Raven)
but whaddaya do?
iscream

@ Starr that works both ways. The kids on Bernie Mack show was not Lightskinned neither was Bernie or his wife for the matter.

& On the Cosby Show not all the kids were Lighskin (Vanessa, Rudy & Theo). If you are looking for it you will find it. But to me there are so many different shades of black that it would be impossible to only see one shade on your Tv. (unless it’s a black & white TV set)

& Keely again you are so on point. I wish you posted more.
& Muncho you always bring the facts… love that.
licia

i’m light skinned and the whole post p*sses me off. complete and utter bs for real.

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

Bird, I’m surprised at you. I don’t like Obama because he’s a liar. His parentage has nothing to with my dislike for him.
Daisy

@Sandra so that means you don’t like any politicans cause they all lie. You call Pres Obama a liar because you feel he is breaking his campaign “promises” he ran on what HE WANTS to do doesn’t mean he will be able to make it happen. Clinton didnt do everything he said and Bush sure as heck didnt. Also as far as AIG I believe a TON of my money went and is still going to WARS I do NOT support so what else is new. Get a clue soon please. You just don’t like Pres Obama point blank period no matter what he does and doesnt do so please keep it real.
https://sandrarose.com Sandra Rose

@ Daisy:

If you do a search for Obama on this blog you will see that in the beginning I supported the man until he started lying about everything from Bill Ayers to Rev. Wright. It’s no surprise that he has reneged on almost all of hi campaign promises because he’s a liar. His lying is almost pathological. I know you can’t see it because you’re caught up in that Kool aid bliss. But soon it will become very clear even to you.
https://sandrarose.com Sandra Rose

Also @ Daisy, as I pointed out yesterday, Obama has spent TWICE what Bush spent on the entire Iraqi war! Bush did it over 5 years. Obama has outspent Bush in only 40 days. Please let me know when you begin to see any of that money.
Daisy

He did NOT Lie about Rev Wright or Ayers. I happen to agree with 99% of what Rev. Wright said. Pres. Obama said he knew of some things that were said regarding Wright and race and other issues/topics that they disagreed with. He was there for the word and he said more than once he didnt go to chuch every sun. I dont agree with Pastor all the time so what. I see you drank that kool aid since you love to say we drink kool aid as well. The man is NOT God and will make mistakes. The govt and Bush have LIED about how much money we have spent in Iraq thank you very much. Again you keep missing me say I AM NOT NOR WAS I a FAN of this stimulus package but at the end of the day govt money is SPENT on stuff everyday that I dont agree with and that goes for every administration.
https://sandrarose.com Sandra Rose

@ Daisy:

I’m not going back and forth with you in the comments. We just disagree.
Lala11_7

Okay…

I will say this regarding the last few comments…

If Auntie is saying that Obama is a pathological liar…what did he pathologically lie about? He didn’t lie about his relationship with Ayers…I live in Chicago…have lived here all my life…grew up in Hyde Park…he and Ayers had a PROFESSIONAL relationship based upon the fact that they were trying to get quality education for poor children…they weren’t playing b-ball together and kicking it at each others house over a Miller Lite…

And regarding the spending situation…Obama is PRESIDENT…not KING…folks in here are KILLING me on the earmark stuff…an earmark isn’t a BAD thing in itself…I worked for a program at LaRabida Hospital that got funding to find out why so many poor children developed asthma…THAT WAS AN EARMARK PROJECT (and by the way, what we found out…SHOCKING)…spending money on telescopes that see out into space is an earmark…but guess what…we have THOUSDANDS OF PIECES OF DEBRIS…JUST FLOATING UP IN SPACE…AND WHEN THEY FALL AND WE DON’T HAVE THE TELESCOPES TO SEE WHAT’S GOING ON…do you forsee a problem…as Obama said…earmarks aren’t the problem…lyin’ cheatin’, stealing politicians are…who try to get millions of dollars to build a “dog park” in a nice suburb…or fund a outdoor concert hall that will have seats that are lined in gold…see…those are BAD EARMARK PROJECTS!!!

And yes, Obama has spent beaucoup money…but UNLIKE the Republicans…the money is being spent to make the lives better for EVERYBODY that particpates in this forum…not just the 1%…

It is NOT about drinking kool-aid…it is knowing that the ONLY PRESIDENTS in the modern history of the United States of America that have built programs that benefit ALL and not just SOME in this country…

Are Democrats…and Obama is following that SAME STANCE!

Thank you.

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

When he was asked by John McCain on national tv in front of millions of Americans what his relationship with Ayers was, he lied and said “he’s just someone I know from the neighborhood.” That was a lie and it followed the other big lie about him not hearing Rev. Wright say inflammatory statements about the U.S. government in 20 years. That was when I decided that I would no longer support him because he can’t be trusted to tell the truth. I HATE liars. It came out later that he knew Ayers very well. Even after all of that came out in the media about him and Ayers, he continued to lie. Obama even made a commercial claiming that Ayers did not throw that famous fund raising party for him at his house even though people were in attendance and saw him there!! It was one lie after another with him. Maybe you should do a little research on your president.
Daisy

Sandra get off of it already. He is NOT best friends with Ayers. They are/were on boards together and knew ppl in the same circles so what. I dont care if he went to his house or not or if he had a fundraiser. As far as Rev Wright, did you attend Trinity and see Pres Obama at church on THOSE Suns? He said he knew how Rev Wright saw race in america(he did NOT agree) but he didn’t know he made those comments that were taken out of context in a 30 sec loop (that I agreed with by the way).
GAGIRL73

@ Sandra let’s be fair, you yourself. Have posted things on this very site that was not true and flat out LIE.
I wont call it out but you know, that you did not research on before you stated it! but it’s okay there no one perfect walking this earth. Yeah it was a while ago but you have done the same action that you say President Obama has done as well as many others. I have too, see I’m not to full of myself not saying that you are. When I see others’ actions, the life they live or even comments here are whatever the case may be.When I’m about to pass judgement on others’ I have to step back and look at me,myself & I Kawana. Because I have my faults too. See it’s true and real judge the one you see when you look into that mirror!
EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!
