I'm so sick of folks turning artistic cultural homages into that same old tired "Blackface" argument. Grrrrr.
This time, it's about Beyoncé's homage to the beauty of African ancestry in the super fabulous! L'Officiel Paris video below. Talk about making something out of nothing! Sheesh. Click here to read about the backlash.
Remember when Tyra's America's Next Top Model was under fire for a similar type of homage? I don't know about you, but I'm over it. If someone doesn't know the difference between yester year's Blackface and a celebration of culture, then phooey on them. #getalife Work it Bey!
