Beyonce's Blackface

and don't forget the hair.

Blackface with 'blonde' hair...wow.

I have this feeling that not a lot of research was put into this venture for this to be a tribute.

In that ANTM photo shoot, the girl HERSELF was upset that she had to portray Grace Jones because she had a hangup about being dark skinned. Tyra pretty much read her the riot act. Tyra does a lot of stupid shit but she was right on where this incident was concerned.

As far as that Beyonce pic, IMO it's not an "homage." It's blackface. I don't care if she is wearing tribal markings or leopard print, in fact that makes it even more offensive, like "ooh, see, she is wearing jungle print so it's OK."

BluPhire, their response was a big load of bullshit. Silence on their part would've made more sense.
