OR...maybe she’s actually concerned about what’s happening to black people. Black pop singers in America, especially female ones, have been known to speak out against injustice whilst entertaining us.

All you said is true but this article is about a black man being shot. I have no need for generalizations about American violence, right now that is.

The Puritan Backroom is also the name of my Salem Witch Hunt-themed gay sex dungeon.

Agreed. Had the police not killed him, he would have been arrested and maybe tried and convicted, and justice, per the United States of America, would have been served.

It doesn’t. Fucking. Matter. If he was “no angel”. Can you not follow your own philosophy back, from your statement, back to its inevitable conclusion? The man was still entitled to arrest, counsel, and a trial and/or medical intervention. That you seem to shrug and espouse a mentality of “human garbage got swept…

Racists are soooo mad about this performance too. So mad. It's the icing on the cake.

I guess what genuinely startlets me is that Beyonce and Jay Z - at least where I am - are seen like such a success story (and on all objective accounts they are). Someone everyone can easily be proud of, and yet they see vitriol that other (white) stars don’t. I remember some time ago Bill O’Reilly and his tirade…

The earlier line is a reference to criticisms of her baby. The “negro nose” line is a reference to criticisms of Jay-Z’s appearance. The general thrust of the song is about deflecting racist characterizations of black people and taking pride in and ownership of black identity.

How dare a talented, political black woman exist in full view of white people!!

That part right there.

“And what we should be doing in the African-American community, and all communities, is build up respect for police officers.”

Cop here.

As the great Beyonce would say,

Beyoncé *preforms a show based around the idea of black power and loving yourself as a black person* Fox News: "BUT WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO DO THAT WHEN IT MAKES US LOOK BAD"

Bey didn’t almost fall - gravity momentarily forgot who it was fuckng with.

I have. And I think most of us have,

For my life? Yes.

During his confession, O’Kroley told the police “it was easy to kill” Nosal because “she had ruined my life.”
