But I&#039;m going to take this a few steps further because I don&#039;t care about offending Beyonce&#039;s haters.People who hate Beyonce ain&#039;t nothing but shiftless mediocre lazy fools who ain&#039;t nothing in life and won&#039;t ever be anything in life until they get over their senseless hate.  Beyonce is successful because she is hard-working, beautiful and good-spirited.  No discussion of her lacefronts, complexion, accent or other perceived imperfections can ever detract from these features, which are far removed from such rank superficiality.It is quite simple.  The common plebes who hate Beyonce are unsuccessful because they spend more time trying to discredit Beyonce&#039;s distinguishing qualities than working toward them. Thus, hating Beyonce is one of my litmus tests of general worthiness.  I cannot be friends with a Beyonce-hater.  Why?  At the most basic level: if you hate on Beyonce, you will surely hate on me.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amen!

But I can&#039;t just let 666 comments sit on a post about Beyonce. The Stan in me won&#039;t allow it as fuel for these Illuminati conspiracy theorists. *shrugs*I can&#039;t take anyone seriously who doesn&#039;t appreciate Beyonce. She&#039;s too good at what she does. A woman hating on Beyonce is the same as a guy that hates Kobe cause his favorite player doesn&#039;t have a ring.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, this post is a year and a half old.

AMAZING! The only thing that irritates me about the Beyonky haters is when they say &quot;she can&#039;t sing and that&#039;s why I hate her&quot;. I would just like to know who they THINK they&#039;re listening to because last I checked she ACTUALLY could sing. Sometimes people hate just to hate when there is REALLY nothing to hate on her for. Now, it is not beyond me to point out a few INDISPUTABLE FACTS about Beyonky but they are never wildly outrageous snipes to her character that would display some sort of unwarranted hatred. I, in all honesty, am a Beyonky stan. I know when someone has been OVERLY represented in the entertainment world...is that her fault? SURE! But if you stood to make 80+ million (IN A DAMN YEAR) by being OVERLY represented in ALL arenas of entertainment, fashion, and whatever the hell else made her rich, wouldn&#039;t you? I know I sure in the hell would jump in line and thank her for paving the way. Point of my babblage (read: comment) is, people pretty much hate her because they ain&#039;t her.   She gives me something to aspire to...wealth and an equally wealthy man to flaunt it with.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>wow&#8230;664 comments on a blog about the hatred of Beyonky.

At that moment I freed myself from the pressure. How can you really hate on a woman who&#039;s song was so hott that marketers and advertisers paid her to not only remix the song but REMIX THE VIDEO for their commercial??!!All hail Bey! She makes the songs EVERY WOMAN screams and hits the dance floor for and gets the strength to liberate herself from &#039;him&#039;. She upgrades him, tells him he&#039;s irreplaceable, screams ring the alarm and when he&#039;s finally off the mark reminds him if he liked it he shoulda put a ring on it.

Like Jay-Z she has incredible talent, skill, product, and mass appeal. But I wouldn&#039;t call her THE greatest. There are too many other singers to consider to name just one. And in the rap game I would definitely quantify Jigga as among the Greats, LL Cool J too. But I wouldn&#039;t say that he&#039;s the greatest. In my opinion he&#039;s just NOT. There are many other&#039;s that share his charisma and skill at word play, but aren&#039;t on the radar like he is.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>@The Champ,</p><p>I think that Mariah is among the greatest.

I think she&#039;s a bit overexposed but eh, if she can get it from somewhere more power to her cuz she sho aint getting mine. I can respect the hustle on the entertainment front.But the fact that she&#039;s submissive is very relevant to me, if simply for the fact that her marriage to Jay-Z is touted by the media as ideal. Same way we look at Barak and Michelle, we&#039;re looking at Jay and Bey. The fact that she stays ten steps behind is some ol&#039; concubine submissive BS and I really hate that image being promoted to women and men in our age group as ideal.  Quite frankly I think its dangerous to the strides women have made as whole, and its disrespectful to the fact that Bey is a force in her own right. She needs to step up to the plate and own that and maybe set an example for young women in the process.And on the whole judgement tip I&#039;ll simply stay this: we judge people and their actions every single day. If we didnt we wouldnt survive. You decided my comment was worthy of a response and your judgement told you to comment didnt it?</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>@Gem of the Ocean,</p><p>If you read the above post you&#8217;ll see I gave Bey her props for being able to make them dollars.
