OP either got, or will get, a 200 on the verbal portion of the SAT.

The Straw Man fallacy is committed when a person simply ignores a person's actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated or misrepresented version of that position. This sort of "reasoning" has the following pattern:


Person A has position X.
Person B presents position Y (which is a distorted version of X).
Person B attacks position Y.
Therefore X is false/incorrect/flawed.

This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because attacking a distorted version of a position simply does not constitute an attack on the position itself. One might as well expect an attack on a poor drawing of a person to hurt the person.

There are articles about this all over the place, I own some of her cd's, that's why it shocked me and her sales have fallen 70% after these statements have been publicized. If you go to google and search the news for Beyonce there are several websites reporting this.

Yeah, I mean not making music for asian, whites, or latinos is much worse than burning down black churches and lyching people.

Klompy - I am extremely hungover, so maybe I screwed that up I was just telling you OP is retarded and that it's not true that she's necessarily a racist.

OP - if this is the only attributable quote that led to this contoversy:

[ QUOTE ]
Beyonce, 25, said in an interview with Blender magazine: "I make black records. I write records like I speak, and I don't try to change my songs so everyone else likes them."

[/ QUOTE ]

Well then you are not the only moran out there.

Didn't Lauren Hill do this in the 90's, only she came right out and said she'd rather sell zero records than sell them to whites?

No that was just a stupid urban legend. When I was in elementary school people were saying that Tommy Hilfiger said the same thing about backs buying his clothes during an appearance on Oprah. I really hate stupid urban legends like this.
