Beyonce's browner skin didn't make her look like Fela Kuti (google image him...LOL) and I don't see "Africa" when I look at her browner face and upper neck. So, I call a FAIL on that end if they are going to pretend that they were clueless as to how random her browner face/neck and yellow chest are.
