Aka an american appropriating African culture which she directly has not a lot connection with. That's one of the problems I think Beyoncé has taken advantage of the fact that she is light skinned for years. When has she ever not been a honey blonde? I love her and I do understand that she is African American but I can't get behind this. I mean I remember the video for Beautiful Liar with Shakira.

Beyoncé apparently has never been to Africa. So basically nobody seems to really know about Africa in this conversation on Twitter...but thats jsut my theory Majority of the ones OP quoted that are outraged seem to live in Africa so I think that they do know about living in Africa and their outrage and opinions are a lot more valid compared to americans.

Also I saw people mentioning the fact that her ancestors were white slave owners,something she confessed herself last year. Most southern African Americans have white slave owning ancestors...  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
