Beyonce UNDER ATTACK By The Mainstream Media ... They Claim Her Dereon Line Is BAD FOR CHILDREN - MediaTakeOut.com™ 2008


BEYONCE UNDER ATTACK BY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA ... THEY CLAIM HER DEREON LINE IS BAD FOR CHILDREN
 







May 09, 2008. MediaTakeOut.com has just caught wind that a number of mainstream blogs and new orgs are beginning to launch a campaign against Beyonce and her line of House Of Dereon. According to them, the above ad is somehow inappropriate

Here's what one mainstream blog is saying:
What is the next ad going to look like? Babies wearing gold metallic bikinis while five-year old boys throw Monopoly money on them.

Let our children be damn children atleast ’till the age of 8. Then they can worry about bikini waxes and putting out.

I am not blaming Bey and her Creole mama for the raising rates in pedophilia in this country, but this mess definitely doesn’t help.

Now y'all know that we're the first to go and criticize Beyonce and her fam about their clothes. But calling these ads inappropriate is just plain crazy.

Well, you knew that it was only a matter of time before the mainstream press tried to destroy our Bey. Get ready for the onslaught....

    As long as they are "revealing" too much (which they don't have nothing to reveal, and they aren't wearing tons of makeup. Then nothing is wrong with that. I like my little girls to still look like little girls. Not 18.

    FIRST OFF WHEN HAS A BLOG BEEN MAINSTREAM MEDIA? ANY ONE WITH TIME ON THEIR HANDS CAN RUN A BLOG! MAINSTREAM MEDIA WOULD BE ABC,NBC, CBS, AND OTHER NATIONAL STATIONS, YOU LOCAL NEWSPAPER WOULD BE MAINSTREAM.

    AS FAR AS THE CHILDREN DRESSED UP, WHOM HAVEN'T PLAYED DRESS UP AS A CHILD? I WORKED IN A DAYCARE FACILITY WHERE THE CHILDREN ARE ENCOURAGED TO PLAY DRESS UP. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY SELL THE LITTLE VANITY SETS FOR CHILDREN? WITH THE PURPOSE OF THEM TO PRETEND THEY ARE PUTTING ON MAKE UP AND DOING THEIR HAIR, YOU KNOW PLAYING THE ROLE OF A GROWN UP.

    I THINK IT IS SAD THAT HERE IS A AFRICAN AMERICAN FAMILY TRYING TO BUILD A FUTURE FOR THEIR FAMILY TO COME, OFFERING SOMETHING POSITIVE TO THE SOCIETY, THEY GET TALKED ABOUT LIKE THEY ARE RUNNING A METH LAB NEXT DOOR TO YOUR LOCAL CHURCH AND SCHOOL. THIS FAMILY WILL NEVER WIN IN THE EYES OF SOME OF YOU SO I GUEES THAT'S WHY THEY LIVE THEIR LIVES THE WAY THEY DO.

    LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THIS PRINT AD IS OLD!

    I can agree that the add is very adult and will send a wrong message to little girls. The heels the hand on thier hip the big prostitute hair all mixed together is a wrong message.

    And the way these little girls drop it outside while playing jump rope or just doing drill marches with thier friends is enough to make Levi's be boycotted.

    Our poor babies just getting exploited all over the damn place.

    There is a huge problem if you don't see a problem with this. Our kids(black kids) don't need to be taught to keep up with fashion. That's what's wrong with us now! This is why we got Bimmers and benzes and can't put no gas in it or it's uninsured. We always take a step back tryin to keep up with the joneses. The clothes aint innapropriate, but the message is!

    The ad an clothes are inappropriate. Just like Monica and the thugged out way she dresses her child. Black people need to quit!
     

    zphib1992
    As the mother of 3 girls, I am extremely discouraged and disheartned by the clothing industry for the clothes made for children. The ad is over the top. Kimora's kid line does not represent themselves like that, Sean John, Roc-A-fella and whatever clothing line for Black people. This is the 1st I have seen with children looking like hookers--that's not a vanity mirror and fake clothes--that is for the every day wear. My daugthers have the pretend-you know the plastic make-up that they simulate make overs and the such. I let them wear worn out clothes and the cheap toy store clothes to play dress up. The ad has gone too far, which is indicative of the times we are living in.

    Everyone needs to stop making excuses for their own parenting issues.

    The issue is the parents that would actually buy the metallic bikini for their child. Don't be mad at the creator when the purchaser has the option to buy...

    Baby Phat and AppleBottoms all have the same stuff. Why isn't anyone talkin about Kimora's grown looking children?

    But to be honest...Dereon' doesn't have adult appropriate stuff. Alot of the items are ugly.
    The point of ads are to make items stand out and catch your eye. I highly doubt you are going to see someones child in those red clogs but the jean outfit is cute. What is ugly is the fur boas and tons of makeup...

    I personally think the clothes are too grown up for little children to wear daily. This goes beyond the realm of playing with mommie's hills or her boa. This is sending our little girls out looking like they are child prostitutes. That is worng. And to be equal, our little boys looking like baby drive-by shooters, that is wrong also. But the biggest sin is allowing your children to believe that a label defines their character and who they are. Many of you are correct when you say if you don't like it, don't by it. Everyone does have a choice. But I believe that certain outlets are moving children into adulthood to quickly. It is seemingly subtle, but to any mature parent, one can see the underlying message. Let the kids be kids. Stop allowing them to grow up so quickly.
     

    sexy_cece
    I have to kind of agree w/them here, do y'all see the heels on that lil asian girl??lol even i have to think twice b4 i wear those and walk all over the place. Those clothes look like dress up playin clothes, you know wen lil kids wear their mama's clothes just to play around, only this time its for real..

    Well see I personally don't wear her clothing line because it is wack and the only time I see them are on white chicks who be up in Against All Odds tryin to be all ghetto and shyt but besides that I blame the damn parents because if they don't want their children being criticized for dressing all grown you shouldn't be buying them clothes like that.Only reason her clothing line offers clothes like that is because of the demand..you know the theory of supply and demand??I know some one had to take a business class up in here

    MyLoveIsLikeWoah
    In a way, I can see why people would think the ads are a little too much although I don't see the big deal here. IMO, to say they are inappropriate makes them seem alot worse than what I'm looking at HOWEVER, I cannot believe some of the comments on here. What do you mean this is why we have grown men lurking after little kids? Are you serious?? If a CHILD dresses like an adult, that does not make them an adult therefore grown ass men should not be looking their way. IT IS ILLEGAL and we cannot blame these CHILDREN and the way they dress for some GROWN man taking advantage of them. Heels, makeup or not, there is no excuse for pedophilia and it seems like some of ya'll are taking the blame off of the ADULT and placing it on the CHILD because the child wears make up and heels? If a teenager is walking home from school in her mini skirt and gets raped, is it her fault because she wore a skirt? I don't think so! Give me a break. Adults, you are away of the laws and if you have doubts, don't do it. Ask for some ID, if they don't even know what an ID is, keep it moving.

    The ad is inapproiate! Its the same reason I dont allow my 6 year old to play with Bratz dolls. Playing dress up in one thing, Dressing these children up like video ho's at such a young age reinforces all the negative stereotypes we say we HATE!

    Bill Cosby is right, why are there babies with $40 sneakers on but eat oodles and noodles every night of the week??

    Its all about priorties....Children and NOT little adults, they are children!

    I have to speak in Dereon's defense, I dont believe the ad above is offensive or degrading to young women.... I have an 8 y/o daughter and I have purchased some items from Dereon, its ok.... Now I live an community that is 90% caucasian and Abercrombie kids is very popular here and the child models are dressed suggestively and the the sagging short shorts with the bikinis showing... Exploitation of children is wrong and I dont believe Dereon is prmoting it.

    i kind of agree with the media but at the end of the day the parents have to ensure that they instill the proper values into their children

    The ad is promoting that. and Ambercrombie did take alot of heat for the thongs and the half naked ads....and the ads were at least teens not the under 6 set.

    Nobody is saying that Bey is promoting the exploitation of children but this ad is ill conceived and advocates a lifestyle thats a little too fast for kids......This is the message we are sending .....Fast is the way to be

    The only problem I have with this ad is the shoes on the little girl. Children should not be wearing heels that high. Otherwise, this is a fashion spread, the children are suppose to be made up like pageant girls. That is the nature of the business, like it or not.
     

    sexykitteesmith
    @ Real-Deal

    If that is what you are getting from this ad, then you are looking way too much into it. It is a fashion spread designed to make the girls look like they are playing dress up. If you were a girly girl as a child, that is what you did. There is no other message to this ad. I think as a society we are being way too sensitive about everything.

    its not about cost...i can afford that shyt but i WOULDNT... not for my little girl.... thats not a good look for little girls... its almost like they being "pimped" out... thats to grown and sexy for lil girls...the word SEXY should not be used in a vocab to describe little girls fashion... thats the wrong message....BEY dresses like a HOE/stripper... so i guess they see fit for little girls to do the same. MOST R&B SINGERS ARE OVERPRICED STRIPPERS.... thats a SHAME. we, as a people, USE to know better....

    Thats why young black girls are giving birth at 14 instead of being in school. My 10 year old wears no urban clothing it all looks trashy and hood to me. But every store has that going on, you as the parent have to know what is approiate for your child. It lucky brand, seven for all mankkind, and heatherette sweat suits. I think there clothes are tacky as is, no one should wear them.

    people always make a big issue out of something small. these kids look like theyre just playing dressup anyway, big deal.
    little kids wouldnt really wear these kinds of clothes i hope. they were just having fun with it, the kids are cute, but it is true though there are alot of pedophiles out there. with or with out the ad there will be there. I dont see the pictures MTO posted as anything offensive. maybe there was worse, but if there was MTO woulda surely posted it! so it cant be worse that what they posted.

    "Wow, at least she's not like white folks making THONGS for 8 year olds like you find in LIMITED TOO."

    Wow, thongs? Which limited too did you see thongs at? Bc they do not have them on the website.

    I do not think the clothes are bad, I think the ad is bad. And the high heels are HORRIBLE. Girls that age should be looking cute not pretty.
     

    HotLatte
    Wow @ the little girl with high HIGH heels on. I didn't notice that earlier.... Well this is definitely a pedophile's dream. I'm glad people are speaking out about this because when I saw Nelly's slide-a-credit-card-down-her-azz-tipdrill-self on Rip the Runway, walk out with those little girls wearing AppleBottoms my first thought was WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY THINKING?? APPLEBOTTOM is an OBVIOUS sexual term referring to the shape of a woman's azz. Now how are these little girls going to walk around grown men without the men conjuring up images of APPLEBOTTOMS and feeling some kind of way?

    People have really lost all moral aspect. It's getting scary...

    NO THIS IS NOT WHY SO MANY YOUNG BLACK GIRLS ARE GIVING BIRTH AT 14. THESE CLOTHES NOR ADS CAN RAISE ANYONE'S CHILD. IT IS WHAT THE PARENT INSTILL IN THE CHILD. SOMETIMES, BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN FIRST HAND YOU CAN TELL YOUR CHILD MANY THINGS POSITIVE, ONLY FOR THEM TO DO THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE. YOU RAISE YOUR OWN CHILD, NOT THE MEDIA!

    While I don't think the ad is appropriate for children, children is a large part of her fan base.

    Club wear for kids huh?

    Let a child....BE A CHILD!

    Why people find it 'cute' to have a kid looking and acting like an adult is beyond me.

    theyre stripped of their childhood b4 they even hit high school these days.

    People should stop treating their kids like their homies and homegirls....and then wonder why their kids are [EXPLETIVE] ups in school and only dream of being the next beyonce or Jayz when they grow up.

    See this all the time... that's the problem with our race now, too focused on the things that don't really matter...rich White people put their children in moderatley priced clothing b/c they're smart enough to invest in the things that will ultimately help their children to succeed, like piano lessons, karate,youth sports, Sylvan after school, while Black parents spend waay too much money trying to impress...who? And their sons/daughters are voted best-dressed, but are going straight to Wal-Mart to work after high school, while the White boy who's parents bought him his clothes on sale at TJ Maxx gets a full academic scholarship...all the money you all are spending on Rocawear could be put into a pre-paid college fund, that's where this little girl's money goes...

    lol I am not mad at parents for having some kind of values. I forgot that parents like that still existed. I wouldn't want my kid dressed up as a ghetto diva at age 4 either. They do look like the Hood versions of Jon Benay Ramsey.
     

    real-deal
    For the few that responded to my comment that I was reading too much into it and even inferred that I mustve been a bad girl and for all the others who see nothing wrong with the ad.

    I was a good girl, If I would have looked like these little girls, i wouldve been told to change. and possible been cracked on my but for thinking I was grown!

    Its about a mindset. You cannot tell me that this does NOT rep a FAST lifestyle. When over 50% of black teens drop out of High School, live in poverty and way more are single parents with multiple children...you cant possibly NOT understand why this is wrong and what it encourages....Our Youth are being brain washes BY US!!! If the adults allow and reward this behavior, then why would they stop it?

    If your not part of the sloution , your part of the problem
     

    Nubian_Huntress
    I agree with the author of the blog. While the clothes aren't provocative in the sense that the girls are covered, they are way too grown for a child. Children are supposed to look like children, not mini-teenagers preparing to slore it up on the town. And UKNOWUAINTRIGHT is spot on with the Jon Benet Ramsey comparison. There's no reason a child should be dressed to look like a grown woman. Put some Osh-Kosh-Bgosh on your kids and call it day. (Besides, why would anyone in their right mind spend that much money clothes just so they can be torn to hell on the playground within a week?)

    THese clothes are obviously inappropriate for little girls. These clothes look more appropriate for girls starting at age 12. It's ridiculous how laxed black people can be when it comes to fashion. Our little girls are already looked upon as being fast and loose. These clothes are inappropriate for any small child of any race. Also inappropriate is the tons of makeup on these babies; they look like little fashionable hookers. This just makes them pedophile targets. SMH!
     

    Cocoabella
    I don't think those clothes are "inappropriate" but they sure are TACKY AS HELL! You would never catch one of my daughters (if I had any) caught DEAD in that tacky-ass mess. Looks like their going to a damn bingo convention... Some of y'all that said this look was "cute" surely need to get your eyes checked, or watch as ep of "What Not To Wear"... LOL

    Ridiculous some of these comments. SOme of you have absolutely no values, and stand for absolutely nothing, and will fall for any and everything. Little by little, and step by step, this is why our world is in shambles. Whoever said nobody is forcing you to buy it, well how about why the "f" they making [EXPLETIVE] like that for kids? That [EXPLETIVE] is inappropriate, stop falling for everything they shove in your face. Recall your morals values and good common sense.

    Oh Plz MTO..you can't have your cake and eat it too. One minute Bey is on you shyt list (well most of the time she is). If MTO doesn't see anything wrong with this ad, then you are full of shyt. Those kids are dressed like little hookers. Who the hell puts heels on a 6yr old? Better yet Who the hell buys these ghetto ho' clothes?

    oh I forgot.... I assume they picked the little light skinned blond girl because they felt she resembled Bey, but Bey can forget it she will never have a child that pretty.

    This is just an AD........COME ON People.

    I have seen adn I purchase her clothes for my little gurls off Dr. Jays.com.............

    HER CLOTHES FOR LITTLE GURLS AND YOUNGER CHILDREN ARE VERY APPROPIATE SO MAYBE YOU SHOULD LOOK AT THE WHOLE LINE BEFORE YOU JUDGE HER...



    AND FURTHER MORE I BUY BABBY PHAT AS WELL, BUT IF ANYTHING KIMORA HAS THE CLOTHING LINE WITH THE BIKINS FOR LITTLE KIDS, SHORT SKITS AND TWO PIECES...........


    ACTUALLY SO DOES WALMART, TOMMY HILFIGER, AND OTHER DESIGNERS, THEY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT STYLE FROM AGE 0-18 YEARS FOR LITTLE GURLS.....


    SO If you dont like it dont buy it....... And who has litlle gurls that dont like to dress up from time to time and wear make up????


    SO I GUESS ITS OKAY TO SUPPRT HANNAH MONTANA, LIZZY MCGUIRE AND ALL THE OTHER WHITE YOUNG GURLS WHO CLOTHES ARE ALMOST MORE THEN NAME BRAND URBAN WEAR AND ITS OKAY TO LET OUR BLACK KIDS SIGN AND WEAR THEIR CLOTHES???????? AND MANY TIMES THE SHOWS ARE VERY VERY INAPPROPRIATE AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY VALUE OR KNOWLEDGE GAIN FORM WATCH IT..................




    WELL I DONT BUY THOSE CLOTHES FOR MY KIDS. I rather support a black women that has made it and carries herself well and is positive then to let my kids wear some made up character from Nickelodian Channel

    This so called "childrens line" IS INAPPROPRIATE ! What child should be cohersed into wearing heels ! I mean come on. Lets keep in mind that Bey is not creating this line for playing "dress up" but for everyday wear. I hate to see how she would actually dress her children.
