Well Mrs Tina is of Louisiana Creole heritage and they have a history of keeping their bloodline “pure” aka light as hell/passing. And they also felt like they were better than darker skinned black people. This is a historical fact, not an opinion. Now I’m not saying Tina or Beyonce has these beliefs but Bey has proudly represented that heritage. With that being said, Beyonce has always been light skinned. Mathew Knowles approached Tina Knowles thinking she was a white woman.
