am mean... I would dare say a majority of her career wasn't built on Native American and French sales, but black sales.
But the second Loreal wanted to market ha power for more sales, it's like... bam

but up until that point, she'd been a dominant African-American force.

This is actually a good discussion, because as African-Americans we know we're essentially mutts.

But with the skin-whitening, and blonde wigs... do we downplay our AA too much?

what if Bey did the commercial with her natural hair, which I'd imagine looks closer to Solange's styling. Isn't that her truth?

nnnnnnssnnssnnsnsnnsns

wtf

But in all seriousness, she has the right to claim her heritage. However...
I wish she had like you recommended, gone all natural.

She should have known that claiming French blood with a blond wig PLOPPED on ur head would cause some controversy.

Also, I don't know if she took this step or not.....but before I claim anything I'd make sure it was actually was in my bloodstream through....as in, confirming through scientific means. Especially for an advertisement which promotes products to compliment your ethnic mix.

A lot of us are walking around with light skin thinking we have Native mess in us, and it's just not there.
It's more slave rape white mix than anything.

it's alarming how disappointed these gorls were.

!!!!!!
I know I presented it in a comical way, but seeing that GIF of that girl reading her results should make us think

look at Nicki, look at Bey
what role model would make her want to be black or connect with those features 

[FINE.]

This is pointless. n

[Bentley!]

Afro... maybe you can clear this up
Why does the pic say, "African-American, Native American & French"

that's not a proper breakdown is it?

I mean, did your results come back reading African-American? .... I always just thought we were a culture, and we accept the fact we are mutts

[RekeRig]

[Bentley!]

Well TELL it then, Bents! sdffffff

am mean... Bey needs to love her truth

the term African American, by default....can include a myriad of countries and ethnicities.
Due to the slave trade...

ALL of us have detectable European in our blood. ALL of us. You are not going to find one black person who was born here, who has family going at least 2-3 generations back in the states and would test as 100 percent African in a DNA test. impossible.

The listing:
African
French
Native American

Would have been more fitting IMO. Even though African is very general. Native American is very general as well. The tribes were spread throughout North America, South America and Mesoamerica. they mentioned no specific tribe affiliation. and that's fine. French would be the only thing really specified.

African American is always gonna include some sort of European mess. but mess.
I guess that was just L'Oreal's way of saying "black". Which again though...ugh nvm

More of us should look to our families to find solace within ourselves, and comfortability in our skin. Looking to media or social media for validation is a recipe for psychological disaster -- most of us are somehow programmed now to NITPICK everything about people .

"oh, cute pic , but she using a filter!"
"her shoes aren't tied...."
"her nose, when she turns to a 90 degree angle, it looks big.. "
"i know he got activator in his head lolz"

If you don't know who the hell you are, you are wide open for these miserable people to invade your personal space, since your being is based off of THEM, not your truth and self knowledge and love.

There's nothing more powerful, that I've experienced at least, than knowing who you are inside just as well as you know your outside. I'm so happy I have inspired others to know their truth. This is something we've been ROBBED of for so long as black people, why the fuck not take advantage of it?!
