(13,616 posts)Yes it is her money, and I never implied she was anything close to a charity case. If anything I applaud the fact that she does make money, but, she should be honest about how that money is made. It would be one thing is this was like the Chris Rock movie "Cb4" where a bunch of artists pruposely try to be nasty in order to sell records, but it is another to believe your own propaganda, because then you become fat easy prey for those who know how to cater to your ego, and who would use you against your own people. Case in point, I am Puerto Rican, and for a while "raggaeton" was gettign big. One of the guys in it was Don Omar, who caled himself "king of Kings." Now, as you may or may not know, the king of king refer to the latin kings. It would be one thing if he was a latin king, singing about his life, but this kid was a yout evenagelist in his popi's church. The reason I am pissed at him is because he is making money off a stereotype, the same as many "gangsta" rappers make money off of blakc steretypes, and while yes, it is her money, keep in mind that in the music buisness, every diem you make is only done by making an executive richer, one who very often has explited people befre you and will do so after you are gone. Say what you will about Suge Knight, but he was one of the few to challenege the music executives, and when he fell, it is nto accident the media took, and still takes, the worst shots at him possible.
Second, as far as bad plastic surgery, if you curcified everyone who got messed up by a plastic surgeon, you would need a stadium. However, the whole idea of looking "white" is not that well defined anymore. Is Beyonce selling out by dying her hair blonde? You ask most people what color is Beyonce's hair, it is blonde, now, I do not think is her trying to be "white" I think it is her being her, same way Nicki Minaj is known for a Pink wig (she wears pink hair more than Pink does, and looks better in it.)
