[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol at all the biddies going on and on about how trashy beyonce is, all while sitting in front of your little computer screens in your cozy home or office.  Meanwhile she's been around the world, can snap her fingers to go anywhere, probably the moon if she wanted to, all while doing something she enjoys doing and laughing all the way to the bank.

[b]To the parents upset that she's not being a good role model, how about YOU be a role model to the children you brought into this world, [/b]instead of expecting a stranger to do it for you. [/quote]

I'm assuming you don't have kids.  Peer influences and media count for a lot as kids get older.[/quote]

I’m assuming you blame everything other than your parenting for how your children turn out. [/quote]

Ah, so you don't have kids.  Mine are still young, but I'm not naive enough to think that our parenting alone will determine their trajectory.  Other inputs matter too.[/quote]

[b]So sit em in front of Nick Jr. and let em watch that crap[/b] - stop hating on musicians.[/quote]

Huh?  This doesn't even make sense in the context of my prior comment.  You Beyonce fans aren't really representing yourselves well here.

If you have kids at some point, feel free to have them twerking to Beyonce's music.  My little black daughter will not be.  Beyonce's songs are okay (just okay) for the club, but I don't really like their substance.[/quote]

Your little black daughter isn't obligated to doofus.  What the hell kind of autocratic power do you think Beyoncé has?  She's an artist/entertainer not a friggin dictator.  Stop whining about nothing and go give your kid a juice box.[/quote]

Of course popular culture and music influences kids, especially OUR kids.  Again, you Beyonce fans are just showing your ignorance, much like ratchet Beyonce herself.  [/quote]

So you don't know any other way to steer your kid in a positive direction aside from spewing negative hatred on OUR entertainers?  If your sole impression of a talented, successful artist/entertainer is that she is "ratchet" and willfully ignore all the other facets of her music and philanthropy that make her so admirable to so many then you are showing your ignorance.  While Beyoncé through her music and philanthropy [b]has boldly challenged the norms of what society says black women can/can't do and say in order to be respected[/b], you on the other hand are showing your ignorance when you willfully accept the negative narrative that makes black women feel they are not good enough which society has been force feeding for so long.  You are showing your ignorance when your reflex reaction to a successful black woman is to hate on her.  You are showing your ignorance when you willfully ignore the good and nitpick on simple shit when if you were as half a decent parent as you claim to be then you wouldn't be so paranoid about popular culture influencing your kid.[/quote]

PP here.  I acknowledged a few pages back that I'm aware she does some good charity work.  Still don't like her music--I think it's mediocre, and extremely contrived, and largely not her own work.  I think she gets by on her sex appeal, and has an incredible creative team behind her, including Jay-Z.  Just because I'm a black woman doesn't mean I can't criticize another black woman if I feel her music is lacking and a negative impact on black girls, many of whom do look up to her as a role model and lack other appropriate role models in their lives.

Btw, I tried to decipher the bolded, but can't--I have no idea what you're trying to say.[/quote]

You are ignorant and a hypocrite.  Did you consider Marvin Gaye ratchet when he repeatedly performed with his shirt open putting his chest on display grinding his pelvis onstage singing about Sexual Healing?  Did you consider Prince ratchet when he paraded around for years with his ass cheeks out shrieking Do Me Baby among his many other risqué hits?  No men, even black men, get a pass and are allowed to be as sexually suggestive or overtly vulgar as they wish because it’s understood they are entertainers.  Men, even black men, get a pass because it’s perfectly okay for little boys to be exposed to carnal popular culture influences but when a black woman exhibits a similar boldness and bravado (GASP!!) you immediately clutch your pearls and turn up your nose and feed into the stereotype - look at her, black women are such sluts.  Society brainwashes black women to be ashamed of their bodies and to think they can’t proudly claim their beauty or their sensuality - they can only do that if they’re freaks and whores while white women in popular culture can embrace Sex in the City and Fifty Shades of Grey without the consequence of losing society’s respect.  You are ignorant.[/quote]
