Protests against 'Racist' Beyonce (sigh)
 
Quote:

It might have been Coldplay's halftime show, but days later Beyoncé's Super Bowl performance is the one people are still talking about.

Apparently not everyone was impressed by the singer's debut outing of her new song 'Formation' and its reference to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Beyoncé and her dancers paid homage to the Black Panthers, and now some people are planning a protest.

​"Are you offended as an American that Beyoncé pulled her race-baiting stunt at the Superbowl?" the event description said.

"Do you agree that it was a slap in the face to law enforcement?"​ it continued, before accusing Beyoncé's performance of "hate speech" and "racism".

Beyoncé was also criticised for the 'anti-police' message of 'Formation' by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

​"I thought it was really outrageous that she used it as a platform to attack police officers who are the people who protect her and protect us, and keep us alive," he told Fox News.

Meanwhile, Beyoncé has been widely praised for addressing racial issues and celebrating her heritage in 'Formation,' when over 1,000 young black men were killed by police officers in America in 2015.
I hate humanity.

If only The Police was doing that for the young black men that have been shot throughout the last year.

She was paid to sing not make some half-assed political statement

The police have a hard enough job without pop singers trying to make it harder

silly woman

So we should all ignore the fact that there's a massive issue of police brutality in America? Why should the Police Force be above criticism when there's enough incidents to suggest that the whole 'Protect and Serve' thing doesn't apply to black people?

There's a massive imbalance in America at the moment, to deny it is to deny reality.

America is a democratic society, if you have an issue use the political system available that allows debate

Do not abuse your position as she did to force an opinion down peoples throats when they are there to be entertained

shameful

shameful

I wasn't aware she personally took the entire nation hostage and forced them to watch her performance because she couldn't have really forced her opinion down anyone's throat if they are watching of their own free will.

The only thing that's shameful is people like yourself trying to downplay a real and serious issue because it makes you uncomfortable.

Former legendary Mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani said

The halftime show, I thought, was ridiculous anyway. I don’t know what the heck it was. A bunch of people bouncing around and all strange things. It was terrible.”

“This is football, not Hollywood, and I thought it was really outrageous that she used it as a platform to attack police officers who are the people who protect her and protect us, and keep us alive,” Giuliani said.

“And what we should be doing in the African-American community, and all communities, is build up respect for police officers. And focus on the fact that when something does go wrong, OK, we’ll work on that. But the vast majority of police officers risk their lives to keep us safe,” he said.

It's all just self promotion on her part.

She doesn't care about black lives. She wants to be white.

She doesn't care about black or white lives, she wants to get richer!

Her impact?

Kizzy 11-02-2016 09:17 AM

She illuminatified Chris Martin...There's the real issue! :fist:

Seriously though I love socially and politically charged music, it's a form of artistic expression and therefore as a medium to express your personal beliefs it's totally valid.

I agree. Lots of artists do this, I don't see why it's an issue because it's Beyonce?

Fine if you are Billy Brag penning a politically charged song but not if you were paid to do one thing and you hijack it for your own personal feelings

So if Chris Martin had used his spot to say that Gay Marriage was wrong and should be outlawed, would that be ok too?


Pretty sure Dezzy would not make a fanboy thread about that?
