Matthew Knowles is not happy Beyonce didn't win a Golden Globe.
So by now we all know that Beyonce did not win either of the Golden Globe awards she was up for Monday night. Best Original Song went to Prince, and Best Lead Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical/Comedy went to Meryl Streep. The latter was expected. But apparently Beyonce's father Matthew Knowles cannot get over the fact that his daughter actually lost an award, even if both of them were to living legends. This is his statement to the press directly after the Golden Globes Monday night.…

I am an African American woman and by no means do I believe that racism is over. But I do know racism when I see it. That is ridiculous for Beyonce's father to say some idiotic crap like that. I saw Dreamgirls, and to be quite honest, I was not impressed. Only Eddie Murphy really set the movie. Unfortunately, I believe, Mr Knowles wants Beyonce to win everything. The sad part of life is that you dont win everything. DUH! I hate spoiled brats. Be more humble and people will respect you more.

Another opportunity to destroy the hard work of a fellow African American by one of its own. Dreamgirls was fantastic from beginning to end. Beyonce's performance was much improved over all of her previous movies! But, in life there will always be room for growth and improvement. Jennifer is a new up and coming singer/actress with a fresh voice and a natural acting ability. She was poised, confident and relaxed in her role. "Each One Teach One" -- means, if you have made accomplishments and are doing well, reach back and give someone a helping hand up and don't be afraid to encourage someone along the way. Allow Jennifer this opportunity to enjoy her day in the sun, she really deserves it. It's a shame to try and deminish her light by pulling the, ever so faithful, race card! Not in this instance. It was all about talent and this time talent won out over popularity! Every cast member should be proud of the job that they all did, remember there is NO "I" in "TEAM" and it took the hardwork and efforts of everyone involved to pull off such an amazing movie!! Excellent Job By All -- Period!!!

when beyonce first became famous, i thought she had one of the most beautiful voices i had heard in quite a long time and she was one of the most beautiful people i had seen, but her image and sound never changes; even in a film so individual she manages to stay looking and sounding quite boring..
now somebody new, with pure amazing talent at both acting and singing has come along...she beyonce may have had her nose pushed out, but Jennifer is definitely not faking who she is, unlike beyonce.
racism was nothing to do with who won, its a pathetic excuse with no evidence, if i were beyonce i would be absolutely humiliated by my father for saying such outrageous things!
i think beyonce should stick with singing, due to the fact her acting is rather weak, and let somebody else take the attention for once, because lets face it, for years now beyonce has been in the spotlight...due to her looks.
Oh and one more thing, if Beyonce and her family are proud of being black and comfortable about the way she is, then why is she turning our back on us and trying to look white by having her skin lightened? i would never ever turn my back on my race! and im sure not many black people true to their country would either!

Well we all know racism is alive, but I don't think Beyonce's father actualy said this crazy stuff. Saying this could have put a dent in beyonce's career. I love Beyonce, yeah she's sexy what is that a crime. J Hudsen is now trying to loose wieght. Believe me this is not the last time B will be nominated for a GG and not the last time accused of doing or saying somthing that is as untrue as this. Don't Hate.....

Let me ask all of you a question.... Are you going to believe a bunch of gossip? This is nothing more than a publicity scam. I'm black and native american and i know that racism is not over. However, please read in between the lines. He is not talking about famous african americans but working class people of all colors ( other than white). So please for the love of God leave this whole situation alone. Shut the fuck up all you dumb ass low class trashy motherfuckers and stop trying to divide ourselves. What happened to unity.

Beyonce shot to stardom after she started looking and acting White. She doesn't even look Black so why the Black pretense? The same with Tyra Banks who is as plastic as it gets, fake nose, fake skin color, fake boobs, fake teeth, fake hair. Why do these women call themselves black when they are doing everything they can to make themselves look White? Hypocrites and phonies!

Beyonce does not look white, nor does she act white. And what is acting white or black anyway. That is a racist statement to make. So your idea of being black means she has to go on tv saying stuff like "you know girl" so is talking white like Paris Hilton "like really like so hot" get real. And every black person doesn't have to look like they walked straight out of Africa. Our race comes in different colors the same as yours. And so when whites go and tan their skin and get fuller lips are they trying to look black???? And you sound stupid saying that they go and get nose jobs and fake boobs, so do white women. Don't let me go down the list of white women that have had stuff done to them in Hollywood. Whos really the hypocrities and phonies.

The only people crying RACISM are black people. Whatever race problems exist today are 100% caused by blacks and blacks alone. We white people don't give a crap what color you are. All we want to do is live our lifes as honestly and as lovingly and as respectfully as possible. For God's sake, stop freakin crying and playing the blame game and get on with your lives.

i agree with the fact the fact that beyonce shouldn't have won. frankly, i don't think that she should have even been nominated. the fact that she did get nominated however, is an award in itself.

So you're saying Meril Streep won simply because she's "old and white?" My mother is also "old and white" so that must mean my mom should win a Golden Globe - M o r o n.

racism will never die for sure. B is my girl but i think she is abit overrated. Her song was definitely better than Prince, because we all know Prince can not sing. b is pretty and cravey but thats not all to life. she use to be my favorite but i realized that she is just a spoiled, selfish brit and she really need to be herself. i think too many people have control over her life, like her dad and J-Z she need to find her own identity. i know she treated JH really bad on set and even her two band members Kelly and Micheal she is just a bitch.

b kooked great in her attire but she is not the best actress. a nomination was good enough for her.
41 - No names
Well written!!! Agree with EVERY word. Beyonce is waaaay overrated. If it weren't for her daddy pulling the strings behond the scene, Beyonce wouldn't be getting half the gigs she gets.
Can't stand her on stage. She's so fake. No talent what so ever.

As a young African American woman I find Beyonce an embarrassment to my race and a HUGE disappointment. I loved her first album, but ever since then her skin has gotten lighter and lighter with every year or album. I have completely lost all of my respect for her as a fellow musician and black woman. She needs to understand that you can't be on top ALL the time. There are other beautiful singers out there like Jazmine Sullivan, Keyshia Cole and J. Hudson. I wonder how successful she would be right now if she put on some clothes for once, didn't marry Jay-Z, didn't lighten her skin complexion or showed people her REAL personality. I can't wait for her to get over herself.

I dont know Mr knowles, but I'll tell you one thing. I and a lot of others are becoming more and more "racist" every single damn day when we hear the kind of shit black people like you are constantly talking out your necks about us, as if the whole world revolves around you@ Black people, always crying and whining and bitching. I'll tell what you're gonna end up doing with all your damn foolish pride is gonna make racism come back in style, IN SPADES!!!
44 - Jordan Richardson
Wow, cool! You're going to make racism trendy? You and a "lot of others?" Are you going to start by commenting on articles all over the internet? And are you going to start by making sure those articles are years old?
Oooh, that'll get 'em. And are you going to start making racism cool again (?) by crying and whining and bitching about how "black people" cry and whine and bitch? Are ya? Huh? Are ya?
Aww, that's great there, Valorie. You're a credit to your rash...er, I mean race. You certainly are. I especially like the part when you essentially tell all those black people you love so much that their pride is "foolish."
That's just super!

So what? Beyonce wants to look more white and so do MOST black women. That's why they straighten their hair and uses extensions. Black woman hair doesn't look like that. When is the last time you seen a black woman with an afro? Exactly. Black men like white women and will only date a black if she's "got her weave on right". No perm, no love! Black females put all kinds of God awful chemicals in their hair every day just to look like the cute white chick next door. Black hair ain't meant to blow in the wind! You all doing all you can to look like white people. Why shouldn't Beyonce? Anyway only a piss poor businessperson would cater to blacks. Blacks don't wanna pay for anything. They'd rather steal and bootleg everything they own. Look at all these rappers that gotta run drugs on the side just to keep up appearances. Every car and every piece of bling belongs to rent-a-center. You can't make a living with blacks as your fan base. Go head Beyonce!
