^Beyonce bleaches her skin.

 

I wish all these American pop culture turds would go away, the last 30 years has been the same shit repackaged with regressing talent & abilities as each year passes.

she spent her entire career trying to look white. She is an "African American" when it fits her agenda.

^Kiki, I agree with you 100% on Beyonce...... in America people would say your were racist for saying that, fuck them.

Everyone is racist to a certain degree whether intentionally or not. I have noticed it is those who claim not to be racist are usually the ones who are the most racist

I agree. As an "Evangelical Christian" myself I am often ashamed and disgusted by my some of my peeps. Some give us a horrible reputation  

racism and other labels are user/group/culturally defined.

Everyone racist? maybe not.  But everyone has a bias towards "racial" clichés

(yes, @Stromboli1 I've used "racial" because I don't know what other word to use)

You mean, from the white american culture ? All that topic belongs to the eternal question, in which level a culture belongs to the race who developate it. This question itself recall so many under topics mixing race, culture and history.

^^More from what I see and hear from her. What she delivers as a so call "African American" woman.

And I don't think a culture belongs to a particular ethnic group.

When you create something -music, literature, painting, dance, etc- it's something you offer to the world and everybody.

 "cultural appropriation" is bullshit.

Because I am too tired to go into an explanation ATM, and it is one of those things you either get it (or want to get it) or you don't. I am not here to educate anyone. If someone wants to fully understand the topic there are tons of resources out here. I am also not sure is this one of those topics in which our point of views would be easily changed b/c our social experiences are very different. I could imagine it getting ugly b/c of misunderstandings. However if you are genuinely interested in having an open discussion and understanding why said what I said, perhaps we could do it via PM
