>> It has been EXCEEDINGLY difficult for me to refrain from commenting on my Facebook friends status regarding the Beyonce matter. I have absolutely no problem with Beyonce having her own stance & supporting her own race & heritage- that's a beautiful thing! But the Super Bowl wasn't the time or place for that song IMO. Would it have been cool with everyone if a white country performer sang about taking pride in their confederate country roots during a halftime Super Bowl show? Hell no! People would be up in arms rallying, protesting, demanding apologies, fines, AND GETTING THEM! That's just how it is. It's one thing if it's a concert or an event catered to a group of people who are on the same page as her & what she's singing about, but a melting pot of *families* watching the super bowl wasn't the appropriate platform for that song or performance IMO. Not to mention the fact that her all black, no whites allowed back up dancers were wearing black panther tribute outfits was essentially the equivalent of all white back up dancers wearing KKK hoods & robes as well. Defend her video any way you'd like, but I have zero respect for anyone who disrespects our law enforcement in anyway, shape, or form. Ask any officer what they think about it & I guarantee they won't take it lightly. Instead of the BS she put in her excuse of a video, why not empower people by singing the importance of education & bettering oneself to come out on top rather than "sippin quervo & goin off"?!? Yet she says cops are the problem... #ALLlivesmatter. COPS TOO! I sincerely hope that some of her fans stop drinking her kool aid after that performance & realize what she's been feeding them all this time.
@Heathur:
That performance and song had nothing to do with her supporting her race and heritage. Trust me. The majority of black people have no interest whatsoever in the BLM movement.
I really need to look at the performance again. I couldn't understand a word of what she was saying and her dance, attire, ect. was typical Beyonce. I didn't even realize it was about BLM until the internet exploded.
@J2911:
lol I said I can't hear a word of her song. It's a boring half time show. My dh agreed and them it all blew up.
I'm actually lol at all the stupidness over it all. As far as the whole face media thing, I tend not to comment and scroll on down to something I actually enjoy reading and seeing.
