He’d like to hang with Beyonce in a nice way, get to know her by doing small pleasant things together like playing board games and going out for ice cream, or how about this, a three-week trial run in some tropical paradise where they can hang together in that nice way and possibly fall in love, and meanwhile fuck each other’s brains out in their spare time. He wants both, he wants the entire body-soul connect because anything less is just demeaning.","author":"Ben Fountain","tags":["beyonce","falling-in-love"],"id":109966,"author_id":"Ben+Fountain"},{"text":"WHEN PEOPLE SHOW YOU THEIR TRUE COLORS, DON'T GO COLOR BLIND.","author":"Qwana Reynolds-Frasier","tags":["beyonce","black-girl-magic","breaking-news","colors","god","goddess","love","music","school","self-help","teach","trump"],"id":124199,"author_id":"Qwana+Reynolds-Frasier"},{"text":"Yes beyonce, thank you very very much!!!Growing up wasn’t easy for me, even as a boy, then as a black boy, then it was even harder as a black boy who lives in Africa. You might think that white privilege is more prevalent in America but no, it is worse here in Africa were white people are literally worshiped as gods.While growing up as a boy in my teens, I had serious self esteem issues, I didn’t like the color of my skin, I didn’t like my hair, I didn’t like my butt, and I was a boy!!! Can you believe it? In 2007 I even tried bleaching my skin, lucky for me I bought a fake bleaching cream, translation, it didn’t work. I dyed my hair blonde several times.But after a while I started to get my self esteem in place, the fact that I had so many white folks as friends at that time didn’t help, truth is most white people living here in Africa claim not to be racist but when you catch that stare, hear that comment, see the way they react, you can smell racism all over them. I can give you a simple example, I had a white friend years ago who was an exec at a big oil company here in Nigeria, I had just graduated and needed a job, I spoke to him about it and y’all wont believe what he suggested, well, he suggested I work as his steward.You see, a lot of Nigerians will jump at it, but I smelt racism all over that offer and I wasn’t gonna be a slave to a white man who still had slave-owner tendencies, he totally undermined my degree and felt I was better off as his “slave”.When Beyonce dropped ‘formation’ I was blown away, never before have I felt more proud to be black!!! And now her ‘lemonade’ album is here and it is everything the black community needs. Beyonce has ‘black’ going mainstream, her lemonade album has white girls wishing they were black, getting tans, dying their hair black, talking gangster etc. Black is the new black.I really do appreciate what bey has done for the black race, now black men and women will walk the streets, heads held high in all their blackness and be proud!!! THANKS BEY!!!","author":"joseph ejiro","tags":["beyonce","music","racism","white-privilege","white-supremacy"],"id":166809,"author_id":"joseph+ejiro"},{"text":"Trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it's broken, but you can still see the crack in that mother fucker's reflection.","author":"Lady Gaga","tags":["beyonce","lady-gaga","mirror","trust"],"id":234900,"author_id":"Lady+Gaga"},{"text":"NEVER LIVE A LIE BECAUSE'THEY'WON'T ACCEPT YOUR TRUTH!","author":"Qwana Reynolds-Frasier","tags":["beyonce","black-girl-magic","breaking-news","colors","god","goddess","love","music","school","self-help","teach","trump"],"id":299234,"author_id":"Qwana+Reynolds-Frasier"},{"text":"I AM GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF THEBACKSTABBING BECAUSE IT MADE MEA STRAIGHT-SHOOTER!","author":"Qwana Reynolds-Frasier","tags":["beyonce","black-girl-magic","breaking-news","colors","god","goddess","inspirational","love","music","quotes","school","self-help","teach","trump","writer"],"id":307127,"author_id":"Qwana+Reynolds-Frasier"},{"text":"HOLDING ONTO HOPE MAY MAKE YOU TIRED BUT IF YOU LET GO OF HOPE, THE FALL CAN SPIRITUALLY KILL YOU!
