Beyst tried very hard to be white for the first 10 years of her solo career, she even had the ballad/international-appeal singles from IASF filmed in black and white with white love interests to make herself look as caucasian as possible (for a light skinned black woman like her, black and white evens out her skin tone with the white co-stars).
Now that pro-"black power" rhetoric has seeped into the mainstream enough (it's ALL over college campuses, the internet, PC culture is gone mad in the corporate world), her handlers have decided to present this new, "enlightened" version of her. Should the political/social climate change, she'll go right back to peroxide, Ryan Tedder, and L'oreal.
On that note, Beyonce looked a biiiiiit chubs during the Super Bowl. She needs to lose a bit of weight. And no, "thick" is not attractive or healthy, and I'm not going to pay attention to the beauty ideas of a community which (through no fault of their own I must add, it's the product of centuries of marginalization) has such a tragically distorted view of what women's bodies are supposed to look like since 4/5 of their women are overweight.
Beyonce surpassed Britney years ago and angry threads on ATRL won't change that.
