I find it interesting that Beyoncé never mentioned police once in this perfomance and white America can somehow find a way to connect to an anti-police mentality. Almost as if police brutality IS a prevelant issue that NEEDS to be discussed.
My view on all this is that Beyoncé have a platform she can use and she motherfucking used it. The super bowl is a great opportunity to bring up a world-problem! She is an artist and if she want to aim her attention and focus on this devastating problem she absolutely should!
lmao when did Beyonce sing about cops?? lol because I replay that song constantly and never heard her once say anything about police...they just want to stay relevant.
I'm noy very good at english but I have read the translation of the song and... I can't see why it's controversial. I read that some people find it "reverse racist" (¿?) but for me it sounds mostly like any other popular song now (i'ma star, blabla, paparazzi, money, blabla, a meaningless refrain/chorus) with some things concerning black people (the baby hair, the nose, black Bill Gates) and that's all. I'm confused. I don't see the "racism against white people" neither criticism against real racism in the song. Can someone explain to me why there is so much debate about this song? Thanks =)
no girl, it's about embracing your melanin...because here in the U.S. if you aren't a white person they treat you like crap. The most discriminated people in the U.S are 1) afro-descendants and 2) Indigenous descendants (what people call Native American, Mexican, Guatemalan Salvadoran, etc). This song, at least to me, tells me that I don't have to change myself to a European standard in order to be okay with myself & be proud of my culture. For many years we, "brown" and "black" people, have been treated like slaves. Even till this day you can drive up to central California & see families of Mexican farm workers picking fruits in the fields for less than $5 an hour and living in shacks & tents w/out any rights (just one example of modern slavery). But you have to understand how this nation was built...on the exploitation of non-white people.
Maria Montoro yes there are cops in the video and in the video there's graffiti on the wall that says "stop shooting us" but she never sang about the cops
I do not in anyway stand with or agree with what those newscasters were saying and I felt so embarrassed that community members of color had to hear that garbage. I am slightly removed from American pop culture right now as I live overseas, so I had no idea about the half time show and whatever controversy. The overall response I give to people scared that I support BLM causes is that how can we say any lives matter when we don't protect and celebrate every life in every cultural background. Once that's squared away in our society I'll support another cause.
Beyonce is the baddest bitch in the world. And she knows that. What she also knows is that she can help change the world and help her people. There's artists out there singing and rapping about sex and shit then y'all niggas wanna hear someone sing or rap about some real shit and real problems. That's exactly what Beyonce did, but bitches out hear complaining that it was too harsh and that she needs to calm down. When is the world going to accept "freedom of speech" instead of freedom of speech to a damn limit"? Beyonce isn't going to do that. She will give it to you straight- no chaser. I'm glad she's using her fame for something unlike some other basic artists.. No shade though...
I thought this video was relevant *AND* entirely understandable. I do not understand how *ANYONE* could have been offended by this video, right? Beyoncé wasn’t inciting violence or hate... she was celebrating her ethnicity and bringing attention to a very troubling trend in our country.🤦🏻♀️
4:01 its the aggressive ass tone for me, that white lady deadass be yelling 2 seconds after complaining that beyonce was too aggressive with her political message
The black panthers were just monitoring the behavior of the police and going against police brutality and they were armed but so were the police who would use violence just because they were full of hate. So she's just hella one sided.
We need white America to change their Hearts.America is Proud Country, The Bible says Pride comes before destruction. We as a Nation got to fall on our knees continually fasting and praying to Jesus Christ to accept him in our. Hearts Too. Righteous Change will last this way.

who..who is that becky with a hair.. see now! this is exactly what happens when ppl open their mouth without thinking.. so u ask yourself britney.. am i a good music listener? do i understand what the song is about? or is it that im viewing the video with the audio disabled.. because u sound like a person who wants to use beyonce's name to get ratings on a night-light background show! so former mayor of the last of the mohicans or samurai nd this miranda lambert throwback.. just stick with country.. u dont know street smart from book smart.. its like youre picking all ur Favorited jelly beans colors instead of a handful. ~Ronald Reagan.
Fox News definitely was overreacting. Obviously Beyonce did it for attention, but i just wish there was some difference in opinion. Everyone who watched the video essentially said the same thing. So boring video overall

Beyonce doesn't need attention, she's doing this for the message and she stands for all race and women empowerment
uh no just black
Yes she does but this song was to uplift BLACK WOMEN, BLACK PEOPLE IN GENERAL
Reemani990 lol sorry just black

Okay, when that girl said, 'OOOH YOU BITCH!' I had to laugh out loud because that was reaction to that woman's comments.

it's not even a black panther costume. it's Michael Jackson.
true it was a tribute to Michael Jackson
Exactly
Exactly Fox news is bs
MJ copied it from the black Panthers its wasn't a tribute to mj it was for the black Panthers
Beyoncé was dressed like MJ but the dancers was dressed like black panthers
The most people did not got her absolutely wonderful performance at all! The song means that black people also matter! It's not against police at all!
Someone tell that barbie... her roots are showing.
both physically and metaphorically😂😂
