“I came across this today and decided to post it after seeing the whole stupid, ignorant self, hating racist statements about hair, lightening her skin and wearing platinum hair that wanted to be white,” Knowles began her lengthy caption.

She explained that BeyoncĂ©'s look was solely for her renaissance documentary, “where the whole theme is silver with silver hair, a silver carpet and silver clothes and you idiots decide she's trying to be a white woman and bleaching her skin? '

“How sad it is that some of her own people continue the stupid story with hatred and jealousy,” she seethed. “Duh, she wore silver hair to match her silver dress as a fashion statement clown. ALIEN Superstar duh!'
