That would depend on one's definition of "upper class"

In the black community it's not as easy bake oven apple pie as she makes it sound...There are a few books she could goread on the subject,but I'llleave it alone.


1. WHAT private school did she attend? There is a very marked difference in the world of class and academia between going to a religiously affilated school and a college preparatory. St.Fill-In-The-Blank doesn't count, hon....You need to come up with Hathaway Brown, Spence, Phillips Exeter, Miss Porter's, Westpoint, or Hawken, dear...

and why does she not have a college degree from either an IVY LEAGUE or HBCU....? This is in no way to demean anyone who has chosen to take a break from schooling or not choose a 1st tier, 2nd tier,or historically landmarked school...but damn... she should AT LEAST be able to compete to get into some.kinda.institution. I don't recall her name being on the register of National Honor Society. Actually,I'm wondering can we even get this girl at least into the ACTOR's STUDIO????

2. Had she attended college there would be the question of how high she scored nationally on her SATs...as quiet as it's kept, the SATs were actually developed as a tool to help the best and the brightest in our country transcend traditional class structure, use and embrace their natural brilliance regardlesss of wealth or "pedigree" to become part of the upper echelon in our society. While Bey-Bey looks good shaking her rump in a miniskirt, I have a hard time to imagine her writing treatise on Locke, Adams, and Socrates, or constructing a traffic light, or discovering a hundred or so uses for the peanut or ways deconstruct and rebuild a human heart--or anything for the betterment of society that doesn't involve body glitter and melismatic screeching in some way.


--private school my booty, Girl...you are seriously TRIPPING. Go ask some of your actor friends who actually took ACTs and SATs and learned how to write in a 50 page blue book during exams for consideration by REAL SCHOOLS how it's done ...and while you're at it...when was your Debut, who was the sponsoring committee and what age did you joing Jack and Jill

Say that, Sista, Ottie. . . and let me add that for this chick to even say she was upper class coming from Houston with it's generations of BILLIONAIRES and blue bloods is TRULY laughable. Houston and Austin is where the descendants of the founders of the state of Texas reside. I KNOW cuz I went to high school and college with their offspring. Just cuz your daddy worked at Xerox and yo mama did hurrrrr doesn't classify you as "upper class." Furthermore, even with all her wealth and celebrity the truly upper class of Houston STILL wouldn't let her ass in their house. So I'ma need her to pump her breaks and stop trynta put down the Jacksons, who despite their urshers have collectively done more for music and entertainment than she ever could. Upper class my pinky toe. If she had ANY class she never would have made this statement and would know that a Jag doesn't equate to class.

Oh, and, Jack and Jill in da house!

Also, how could she think she was upper or middle class in the Houston area? All of that oil money is still down there. Hell, the Bush's own so much property there it's not funny.

Beyonce is talking about her family upbringing and why the Knowles are NOT the Jacksons in the new OK! magazine:

“I grew up upper-class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar,” she recalls. “We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like the Jacksons. But I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation
