She is black, her mother has some Creole background, I believe.

She's black. Black is black.

Beyoncé is black. Her mother is Creole, but Creole is black, no matter how you twist it. Look at her she light, but still Black.

french creole

She is black....First of all nobody is just one nationality so everybody is mixed with SOMETHING.....but without her make-up and her weave she is a regular black chick from the hood....This is a Puerto Rician talking and i'm telling you that she is black...IDK why she came out with a spanish album..and making songs with shakira....Her spanish is horrible compared to us...somebody needs to tell her to stop...but she's pretty and she can sing...So Go Gurl

she's black

puerto rican spice sounds ignorant...she is not from the hood. if you've ever heard beyonce talk about her childhood you would know that instead of assuming she's from the hood just because she's black. her spanish isn't that good because that's not her native tongue, you'd also know that if you pay attention in her interviews. she clearly says that she strictly sings in spanish, not speak it. so i dont understand how you sit there and criticize her and then say u like her...you're just a hater cuz u dont look like her...ignorant ass!

I HEARD Beyonce is of French Creole and Cherokee Indian from her mother's side.

shes mixed race her mum is very light....creole(mixed with french white and black) but shes more WHITE.you cant say u c people that look like her in AFRICA!! her skin is different (Lighter), most AFRICANS have WIDE noses--- BEYONCES MOM dont have a WIDE NOSE its much more narrow! like BEYONCE HASNT GOT A WIDE NOSE its 50/50 best of both.i DONT CARE WHAT N E ONE SAYS SHE AINT FULLY BLACK...SO WHY CHAT SHIT, YOU KNOW ITS TRUUU! dad is BLACK.

She is black, but her mom is Hatian. Hatians are black people from Haiti. Beyonce is just light skin, but there are hatians that are black.

sorry, I meant that there are Haitans that are light skinned.

Beyonce is Black. In this country if you have one drop of black blood then you are considered black. Does she have some other races in there like white and cherokee-Yes. Her grandmother was mixed blkac/white but since African Americans already have a history of mixes in their race, its not suprising that even though Beynces father appears to be a dark skinned black man, he also has some cherokee in his heritage. Its all about genetics. You can have two dark skinned parents and pop out a light skinned or bi-racial looking child. Mr Knowles and Beyonce's mother have mixed races in their heirtage. But yes Beyonce's mom is very mixed and Beyonce and her sister just happened to look more like her. But that doesnt mean that Beyonce child will be as light as she is. Also Beyonce enhances her "light skinnedness" by putting on those never ending weaves and doesnt sun tan alot plus make up always helps. I guess she's realized that you sell more records when you look more white than black! Thats why sho no longer puts in cornrolls on her her as she used to when she was a nobody.

LOL, she is Chinese!!!

she looks black to me warum haben sie kein namen?

Black and Creole

My girl B is black, we come in all colors. Do you think she is mixed because she is pretty, or is it the light skin, or the weaved hair.

Creole is African American/Black, just mixtures into one! so overall she is Black regardless, i hope your just asking this because you didn't know what she was not because "she's pretty for a black girl"

Beyonce does not look Black. She looks like she is a mixture. Halle Berry doesn't look Black either. I know a lot of lighter complected Black women and they look African American. But Beyonce does not look Black at all. She looks like a honey colored white woman or mixed. I never thought she looked Black even when she rocked the braids. Cause a lot of mixed and Spanish women rock braids. Her mother looks Spanish not Black. SHe is mixed tho. Beyonce took after her Mother. Beyonce does not look American Black and MOST American Blacks have West African Blood in them. ANd she does not look or resemble the West Africans at all. When I look at most Black women, they do no resemble Beyonce. Even though they are attractive as well.

First of all Beyonce is not the prettiest Black woman I have ever seen. She is actually just average cute. I don't think Beyonce is beautiful she is pretty. But not because she is light skinned. She is not high yellow or anything. But she is cute. Her body is beautiful and I think most women Black or white would want her figure. She does have the BEST body in show business and that's all there is to it. Black women sound so insecure. Black women need to lose weight and realize that men don't notice skin color, they notice how in shape you are. They don't even notice your face as much as they do your body. So get in shape and stop using the beyonce is light skin excuse. Beyonce gets attention because she takes care of her curves. And that's a fact.

Her father looks Eitheopean and he mom looks like a light skin black woman period , Beyonce tries to make herself look hispanic , or more like mix or exotic by wearing a lot of make up and spending lots and lots of money in wigs and fake ponytails but she is and will always be concider anywhere she goes Black.

Beyonce is of African decent,as are most afro-american citizens. Beyonce is also of European decent,as are most afro-american citizens. Beyonce is a mongrel,as are most AMERICAN citizens. The fact that she has a light complexion is simply a matter of DNA. Kelly Rowland who has a deep brown complexion is probably just as racially diverse as Beyonce is. In my opinion Kelly is the more exotic beauty of the two (If you own the Destiny Fulfilled CD take a look at Kelly's beauty shot in the albums insert;she's breath-takingly beautiful. She looks like a somalian). The only reason people question Beyonce's heritage is because her skin is light and she makes every effort to look as european as she possibly can (long,blond weaves and wigs,contouring with makeup,etc.). As far as "white society" is concerned,Beyonce is as "black" as you or I. That is the label we've been given,but I refuse to be defined by labels (especially false ones). I am afro-american;among other things. The same applies to Beyonce. There is no such thing as a pure race. We are all apart of one another wether we like it or not;but because of the world we live in every american of color is seen as "black."

BEYONCE's ethnic background:her father is African American and her mother is creole, her mother doesn't speak creole because she didn't want to learn the language their forth Beyonce doesn't speak creole nighther.

Her dad is Black (High Yellow) and her mom is Puerto Rican.

1) Beyonce Knowles is MIXED-RACE. She is of an MGM-Mixed /Mixed-Race Lineage. 2) Her maternal lineage is that of Creole. . ****************************************************** A comment on the concept of the 'One Drop Rule' ****************************************************** The 'One-Drop' Rule (the false teaching that 'any amount' of Black ancestral lineage make a person "full Black") is nothing more than pure-racism. The racist 'One-Drop Rule' (used only by the United States government, by the way) was created during the antebellum/chattel-slavery era by White-supremacists in order to get people to believe the false racist myth that the so-called White "race" was "pure" and tp falsely see the Black "racial" admixture (even the slightest amount) in a person's ancestral lineage as being "tainted". To embrace the 'One-Drop Rule' is the equivalent of BOTH embracing "racism" and also embracing the false teaching that a Mixed-Race person's Black lineage is "tainted". My advice is that a non-Racist should *not* embrace the concept of the 'One-Drop Rule' -- as "Black blood" is *not* "tainted" -- and should never be perceived or embraced as being so (not even in the name of so-called "pride" and "unity"). In addition, legally-speaking, attempted forcible application of the racist 'One-Drop Rule' -- against any individual or group -- was made illegal and ruled as unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court in 1967 via the case of 'Loving vs. The State of Virginia'. Through the 'Loving vs. Virginia' case, the U.S. Supreme Court, ruled against both all of the laws banning Interracial marriage -- and -- also ruled that any so-called law which forcibly applied the 'One Drop Rule' -- was racist, discriminatory, illegal, unconstitutional, and non-enforcible. . ****************************************************** A comment on the term of "Light Skin Black" ****************************************************** It is often a surprise for people to learn that, in reality, there is actually No Such Thing As a "Light Skinned Black" person. The term "Light Skinned Black" is really nothing more than a racist oxymoron that was created by White Supremacists in an effort to forcibly deny most of the Mixed-Race individuals, who are of a Multi-Generational Multiracially-Mixed (MGM-Mixed) Lineage, the right to fully embrace and to also receive public support in choosing to acknowledge the truth regarding their full ancestral heritage. The people who have been slapped with the false label and oxymoronic misnomer of "Light Skinned Black" person are simply Mixed-Race individuals -- who re from families which have became and have remained continually Mixed-Race throughout their multiple generations. It should also be noted that no one is saying that having a light skin complexion is the 'only' or even a 'required' proof of being of a continuously Mixed-Race lineage. What is simply being said here is that it is just one of the clearly-visible and openly undeniable forms of proof that a person is of a Mixed-Race lineage.

Her mother is Creole, which is a mixture of the following races/nationalities in varying ratios:Black American (African Descent), White American (Anglo Descent), Native American (Cherokee, Choctaw etc, who are ancient descendants of prehistoric Asian peoples living in North America) and French (French). Her Dad is African American, a mixture of White American and Black American in unknown ratios; no matter what the colour of an African American's skin, it's almost impossible to ascertain the actual amount of white-black intermarriage in the persons family tree. Beyonce, therefore, is mixed race with brown skin and black Afro hair,a curvy, thick body, perfectly evenly spaced facial features; dark brown almond shaped eyes, a curvy, thick body, lovely bone structure, a straight Indian/Anglo bridge in her nose but with a little African flair in the nostrils, a full mouth; and a LOVELY VOICE. But then y'all knew that already, I'm sure!!
