“I came across this video today and decided to post it after seeing all the racist, stupid, ignorant and hateful statements made towards her, such as her lightening her skin and wearing platinum hair to be white be.
“She wore a silver wig to match her silver dress,” answers Tina Knowles. And to point the finger at TMZ’s “white journalist” who had the “audacity” to discuss the color of Beyoncé’s skin.
Then to attack certain African Americans “who lie and act like they don’t know that black women have been wearing platinum wigs since Etta James.” “Was she trying to be black?” she wonders.
“Every time she goes out of her way to do something, it reflects her work ethic, talent and resilience. And you, sad, hateful gentlemen, come out of the forest. Jealousy and racism, sexism, double standards, all perpetuated,” Tina Knowles continues, dressing the haters for winter.
