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

The black man or woman killed by the police has to be totally innocent and angelic. We don’t want to taint our cause with those “that were no angels”.

And this why black girls rock. Stay strong sisterfriends.

Ah yes, shall we just return to the mashed potato and twist to satisfy your generational needs?

“by the way im not white”

No, I said if you don’t “get it,” not if you don’t “like” it. Two completely fucking different things. There’s lots of things that I don’t get but I like; there’s lots of things I don’t like but I get.

Yes it is! This video is so black it’s unreal.

Quick PSA: If you don’t “get” this video, it’s because Beyonce didn’t make it for you. There’s nothing that says black culture needs to be distilled and broken down for the masses. Some things are just for us.

IS THAT MS BIG FREEDIA QUEEN DIVA IN THE SPOKEN BITS!?

This video was so goddamn black it’s not funny. I’m not southern, but my roots are, and that bit with the girls dancing in the shorts gave me flashbacks to the cheer and dance squads we used to have in the hood. Beyonce is black. Black as the bottom of your grandmama’s cast-iron skillet. Blackity black, black, black.

Like those tires would DARE!

I SAID GODDAMN. “I might be a black Bill Gates in the making.”

The song is meh if you’re looking to something to belt in the car or dance along to.

that little boy in a hoodie in front of the police, and the cutting to the “stop shooting us”... damn, that did me in.

Idris Elba absolutely would have been nominated for an Oscar. He wasn’t because not enough people saw, or wanted to see, a film about child soldiers.

This.^^ On my FB town page a while back, someone posted some bullshit about how we need tighter voter ID laws. I was pointing out the fact that historically, such laws were used to deny POC their rights, and the person I was talking to didn’t know what POC meant.

You are one of my favorites. There’s a lot of this type of information I am unaware of as well and you are always succinct and polite in your responses. (Also you are a wizard hat and I have mad respect for that. I imagine you as a Carmen SanDiego/Merlin mix.)

Michigan apparently has a form of indeterminate sentencing where the legislature sets a maximum sentence and a judge sets a minimum sentence. When the convicted person reaches the minimum sentence he’s allowed to go in front of a parole board to ask for release on parole, but must serve at least the minimum.

At least give me the satisfaction of knowing you’re out there beating up niggers right now

But can we PLEASE leave out Luke’s awful brother-in-law? I don’t think I can stand one more scene.
