How incredibly odd and outrageous, then, for two white women, intelligent enough to understand America's volatile relationship with black motherhood, to take the stage on one of entertainment's biggest nights, after one of the most meaningful performances by a black woman celebrating her choice, need and desire to mother her own children, and pronounce they want her to mother them. To be in service to them. To be their Magical Negro Mammy
 
Mostly outrage towards black celebrities getting portrayed as supermoms and how regular black mom's are stereotyped/underappreciated.

What I want to know however, is what is the deal with black singers trying to pass themselves as religious icons of late? Kanye as the Black Jesus and now Beyonce clearly is trying to promote the symbolism of the Virgin Mary.
