[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope Beyoncé knows what she’s doing because her daughter is only 13 years old, she looks much older than that and she is very pretty. I would be worried about it, but I’m not her mom. I have no opinion on her talent or abilities because I know zero about that.[/quote]

Black girls always look older to some people :roll:  [/quote]

Only if dressed to show cleavage and tight clothes. Same goes for white girls. [/quote] You can think what you want about Blue Ivy but you should educate yourself on adultification.

Talk to Blue’s parents, who are clearly adultifying her at the age of 13.[/quote]
*sigh*    These are important conversations and I don't mind having them, but you really have to at least educate yourself on the topic before participating.  You keep blaming Beyoncé, but adultification isn’t about what a parent lets their kid wear, it’s about how you and society project adult or sexual meanings onto Black girls who are just being kids.

Blue Ivy performing in a sparkly outfit doesn’t make her grown. What makes her ‘look grown’ to you is adultification bias, the same bias that research shows leads people to see Black girls as older, less innocent, and more sexual than they actually are.

That’s not on Beyoncé. That’s on you[/quote]
