I disagree w/ the use of the N-word regardless of race. I think it shows a lack of historical understanding, reverence, and compassion and that it's demoralizing. I don't allow anyone who I consider close to me to use that word in my presence. If they do, I simply remove myself from the vicinity. B/c of course you can't fight everybody and you can't control what grown people do. But as black people we must really start to push ourselves closer to God. Not merely towards what's hip or cool.

Beyoncé won't get too much surg hopefully. I really doubt it though because she considers herself a champion for black people, and wants to do everything she can to remain authentically black.

I don't see anyone questioning Patti Labelle's blackness knowing she got that Bell Pepper in the middle of her face sliced in half 

Since when does surg make your blackness inauthentic

I didn't explain that right. The average  person cannot afford cosmetic surgery. It just seems like Bey would never take it as far as say,  Lil Kim, who went out of her way to look less and less like a black woman and it backfired on her too,,because she lost a lot of fans in the community and she became a laughing stock because of her appearance . Her black listeners stopped relating to her.

Classic whataboutism. Are you capable of critiquing Beyonce? Or does anything go w/ "Queen Bey?"

Why am I critiquing Beyonce - or anyone, over alleged surgery?

Well, you critiqued Patti Labelle just a few moments ago. Not sure why your commentary about Patti can't be used to discuss Beyonce... Or maybe you simply can't. Her celebrity may have a stronghold on you. That's called idol worship. God is constantly critiqued. Why not Beyonce? Go ahead, give it a try.

I didn't critique Patti's reasoning for getting a nose job because who cares? I said she got her fat ass nose done and no one questioned her blackness...

Now back to my question, mr lawyer man. Why is any black person getting a nose job a threat to their authentic blackness?

Yes, that's called a critique. Not sure how I can make that easier for you to understand. That portion of this thread is not an argument that I've made. You can view my commentary for yourself. To my point, have you turned Beyonce into an idol? Are you capable of discussing her in a critical way w/o rose-colored glasses? Doesn't seem likely considering your evasive responses.

wow wow wow...he lit you up Kae'!

Nobody asked her to be a stereotype. I just feel Beyoncé would achieve everything she has in the same fro and black girl magic from debut era.

I'm shaking

That's fair! I do think Beyonce is responsible enough not to damage herself beyond repair. But plastic surgery in general is a symptom of body dysmorphia. It's a recognized mental illness in the DSM-5. Many of these celebrities and non-celebrities are suffering w/ it. And that's a problem that needs to be addressed.

well we all gotta kinda downplay our blackness in some way to excel in a white country

id love to be able to just BUST into the office and be all types of southside jamaica queens all up n thru there

rollin my neck and just being the complete ghetto fag i was born tah be

but thats not reality - at least if ur looking to get to certain levels within a space

It's one thing to comport oneself w/ professionalism, but it's a different thing to downplay one's blackness and black support into ambiguity. Not saying Beyonce intended to do this, but many white people accepted Beyonce in her previous form b/c they weren't aware of how pro-black she actually was. She was even perceived as white adjacent to some people in foreign countries as a result of certain imagery (the infamous Revlon ad comes to mind). Also, white people also change themselves in professional settings. As black people, we have to be careful that we don't lose our authenticity trying to climb the ladder of success. B/c you'll most likely regret it when you're faced w/ the racism those in some of these elite circles have for you regardless of your position/social standing. Never sacrifice the crux of your blackness/being trying to fit into boxes created by white people.

It's not about sacrificing all of who you are, it's about having to find a required balance.

You can still be very Black and proud of your Blackness - and display it loudly and proudly.

I can call my Black coworkers "sister" and "King", etc. in the open without second thought because it's my right to do so. And I dare someone to tell me it's inappropriate or unprofessional, cuz it's totally not. lol Unless someone who you're directing it to prefers not to be called that.

But at the same time, there's some conformity in the name of remaining professional in a specific space. That's a given .

I'd even say it's an ART - balancing it all .

yup and no one does it better than we (our people) do. That Art you're speaking of

👏🏾

You're so sweet. And since you are a spiritual man, like me, let me give you a fair warning in biblical terms. You've just stepped into the lions den here on B Source. Hope you ready lolz
