Agreed

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 didn't say that. But wasn't this the same girl that had all her promotioial pics shades lighter not too long ago? She did give white woman a lot before her pro black era.

but when it comes to Nicki, you haven't followed her career enough yea aight

You're right it wasn't. It was a Question. I quoted the wrong post but i dont follow her career. When have you seen me in a nicki thread?

Nicki was wearing blue contacts and blonde hair for the longest talking about nappy this and nappy that, calling black women apes and all kinds of ugly only talks of "black empowerment" and uses the race card whenever she thinks she's a victim of something she perceives is injustice when it's actually just because she's a miserable whiney cunt.
Doesn't that apply to her?

The girls get very selective depending on who is being discussed. I'm giggling

Nooo. You GUhs love to deflect. Focus on the subjects at hand.

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 .

That's fair. Balance is definitely key. But sometimes it can be difficult to recognize when we cross lines, especially if we're too focused on attaining success and money.  Being black is a hefty experience. But I wouldn't want to be any other race.

And thats what exactly happened. She started out great but balance was lost and pushed me away as a fan. I would also say the soul was sucked outta her music to go along with the images.
