If this had been a white person saying they only make music for white people, they would've be flogged:
Beyoncé Knowles has sparked controversy by saying she only makes records for black people.

Since the 'Déjà Vu' singer made the astonishing statement sales of her new album, 'B'Day', have fallen by 70 per cent in the US.

Beyoncé, 25, said in an interview with Blender magazine: "I make black records. I write records like I speak, and I don't try to change my songs so everyone else likes them."

The singer has also admitted she can relate to celebrities who attack the paparazzi.

Beyoncé said: "It must be really scary to have your children in front of all these people. That's your kids. That's when Mama Knowles is gonna be punching some photographers!"

Meanwhile, Beyoncé's name was booed at the MOBO awards in London on Wednesday night (09.20.06) when she failed to turn up to collect her three prizes.

The 'Crazy In Love' singer received the most awards after her single 'Déjà Vu' won the Best Song and Best Video categories and she was named Best International Female at the ceremony - which recognises music of black origin.

I think Beyonce is on a pretty good track to be the next Whitney Houston, with Jay-Z as her Bobby Brown ;)

I don't think they're together anymore and Jay-Z has some Asian in him.

these comments on the site linked echo my sentiment...

"I?m not a big Beyonce fan but I feel like this was kind of taken out of context. This actual paragraph from Blender says:

The film, costarring Jamie Foxx and Eddie Murphy, deals with issues of race in romance and culture ? including the compromises a black group has to make in crossing over. Beyoncé says compromise is one thing she doesn?t have in common with Deena Jones. ?I make black records,? she says indignantly. ?I write records like I speak, and I don?t try to change my songs so everyone else likes them.?

"She never said anything racist or mean. She just said that she makes records to suit her; her personality, life, speech, etc."

as much as I dislike Beyonce, she NEVER said she only makes records for black people, that is taking her comment so far out of context it's not even funny. If people are getting that from "I don't try to change my songs so everyone else likes them." they are a retard. She's saying her music is a black woman singing, and if you have a problem with black music then she could give 2 sh!ts about you. She sucks, but it's unfair she gets blasted on for people reading into her words and making huge assumptions.

It seem lawsuits are warranted. Do we know who came up with the headline? That is the person who needs to be broke.

its funny how the anti-pc crew is so quick to try to complain about someone not being pc...you are in fact doing to her what you profess others do to "whites" ..calling out the fact that she said something that was in no way meant to be racist and trying to twist it into something else

not a good business model to tell 90% of your customer base that you don't want them.

Wait a minute... has anyone confirmed what this meant? Is she saying she makes records for black people, or is she saying the same thing as "I make dark records"? :confused:

edit:
oh nevermind, haha, just looked a the video. I was thinking of another singer...
