Did Michelle Obama Make a Major Misstep with Beyonce? | Loop21 (via tballardbrown)

Wow, is this person being serious? Firstly, Beyonce is not best known for the song ‘Bootylicious’. She actually has a solo career that has seen her release four multi-platinum selling albums, has won more grammys than you can count on both hands, is worth $300 million, and is still going strong. If anything, Beyonce is a prime example of a woman who’s worked her fucking ass off to get every little bit of what she has, so don’t you dare come at her in this manner and diminish her worth to something ridiculous and as demeaning as what we all know you’re really alluding to.

Beyonce is a smart woman, so is Michelle Obama who is very aware of this fact. Both serve as equally amazing individuals for black girls, or anyone else for that matter, to look up to. 

Black girls can do whatever the hell they want to do - including having aspirations that merge superior academic goals with conquering the world of entertainment. 

This ain’t no misstep, get your facts in check.

wow…white rhetoric right there, that “armed with degrees”=the only way to be successful. except you don’t say this same shit to white entertainers who do not have shiny academic backgrounds; you don’t question their inspiration values now, do you?

besides academia is NOT the absolute method to test intelligence. that’s some grade A white bullshit that’s been shoved down our throats. not saying degrees don’t help in the long run, but you better the hell not degrade a person’s hard-working ethics to fuel your white, condescending logic

Being one of the most successful female performers in history isn’t something to aspire to now? Oh. I swear to God these respectability games aren’t about reality, they’re about shaming black children for wanting to create. What is it about art that makes some people twitch so damned hard?

Wow. There’s really no good enough if you’re a black woman, is there? Beyonce is NOT best known for bootylicious, get the fuck out. Here’s a woman with 16 grammys, hundreds of millions of record sold and who’s toured over 200 countries, arguably the biggest celebrity of our day and you disingenuously pick one of her more risque songs and label it “what’s she’s most known for”? Forreal doe?? She’s successful, talented, philanthropic and if you’re really trying to revert to dull, played-out traditional bullshit, she even did that by marrying Jay-Z and having a kid afterwards. This is so stupid. Fuck whoever wrote this.
