"...This week, musical powerhouse Beyonce walked the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards with her daughter Blue Ivy. Since Blue Ivys birth, the child has been subjected to harsh criticism about her appearance. And reactions to her recent VMA appearance on Twitter and other social media were beyond embarrassing.
So are we all just supposed to pretend that Blue Ivy isnt ugly as hell forever? asked Twitter user @keltheyrich who also went on to write ...Blue Ivy is ugly as sin and theres no way around it....

What in the hell is WRONG with people? Blue Ivy is a beautiful little girl. I can't help thinking this is connected to Guiliani and his disgustingly inappropriate vendatta against Beyonce.

(8,703 posts)The kids will be fine - they are loved by many. One of my neighbors who has schizophrenia kept posting anti-Obama stuff on Facebook. Because of her mental fragility I let it go until she posted a negative comment about Sasha and Malia. I posted back to her that kids are off limits and she unfriended me - worked out well. Her husband who is not a Trump supporter also unfriended me - sticking with the wife's racism.
The few people I know who are for Trump, I knew were all racists before Trump was even running.

I'll never understand why some nobody with 284 followers to her name warrants mention in a story like this, though... (probably because she has a hawt avatar, sadly)

Not sure why twitter trolls get coverage. The internet is full of stupid hateful shit about everyone. Pick a person you can find hateful garbage about them on twitter no matter what color they are.

(2,830 posts)Sure they act racists, say racists things all the time, and treat anyone who doesn't have white skin as second-class citizens who are too stupid to "get off the plantation" and stop voting against their best interests? But is it racist?

tblue37
(65,340 posts)there would be no excuse for such comments about a child. None.
However, the jerks making such comments certainly expose how uglythey are, as well as how incredibly racist. Their nastiness toward a little girl is disgusting in and of itself, but their inability to see the child's evident, objective beauty proves that they can't see past her skin color and that to them anyone who is not white is by definition "ugly."

I don't follow celebrities and their children very much at all.
