Beyonce‘s set a this year’s Super Bowl continues to pull in criticism from those who claim she used it to “race bait.”
Today, the latest group of people to join the anti-‘Formation’ brigade is the New York Police Department.
Full story below…
The NYPD detectives union had this to say about the entertainer’s Black Panther-inspired performance:
Michael Palladino president of the Detectives’ Endowment Association:
She should direct her message where it’s needed most, and that’s in the ’hood, because that’s where it all takes place. So if the Black Lives Matter movement really wants to make a difference, they should pour the medicine directly on the wound. Get into the ghetto, the ’hood. Get to the bottom of why people of colour prey on other people of colour in their own neighbourhoods.
His comment was met with criticism by those who outlined the differences between racially motivated police brutality and crimes committed by civilians against other civilians of the same race in impoverished neighbourhoods.
Monifa Bandele, a spokeswoman for Communities United for Police Reform, argued:
The reality is that when civilians kill or brutalize other civilians, they face legal accountability. But police officers typically do not and often don’t even face meaningful discipline by their departments.
Beyonce is yet to respond.
Blacks who kill other black people aren’t killing them because they don’t like black people seeing as they are black themselves. Black on black crime has everything to do with poverty and the after effects of slavery and not race. If it did Africa would have the highest rates of it.
Saturday night live said it right white people just realized beyonce is black and bey is standing up for her people they want her to stay in the corner say nothing it’s as if she should stay in her place in order to stay in their good grace bey should never mention she is black what did white people think they were looking at a white woman I’m glad and proud she took a stand stop killing black men like dogs in the streets when it comes to white men I don’t see that from police Obama had to please these people to win the white house and never mention race as soon as he did the same thing they realize Obama black and turn on him he spoke on race and the bloodclot white people mad
Well black people should stop acting like dogs on the street and they gonna stop treating yall like dogs complain about that and don’t say nothing about yall behavior..and not only black lives matter, all lives matter and yall need to leave the past in the past is not black people alone had slavery days if yall dont know that
When Oprah start speaking on race they will turn on her too
I doubt that. Oprah is old money and co-exist with the 1%…she meets with the billionaires of the world & beyond, every year in regards to meetings dealing with the well-being of the world…her opening her mouth to speak or her dying would be a tragedy and super suspicious. The elite aren’t that dumb and neither is Oprah, she knows her boundaries and plans for the future that is mere civilians don’t.
But sweetheart, Africa DOES have the highest rate of Black on Black crime. There are currently countless civil conflicts going on in Africa. This is without mentioning all the genocide, raping, child abductions, bigotry, oppression, disease, starvation, and just general hell-on-earth that is that entire continent (with the exception of South Africa – the country not the region)
And white have the highest rates of white on white and everything living killin. U sick white hoez r disgusting!! All u devils do is lie steal and kill
and that has everything to do with the effects of colonialism. A lot of these countries are corrupt and impoverished because of the fact of how they were left and ill prepared to survive in this day and age
See unlike you, I wasn’t making a racist generalized statement about Black people. My statement was pointing out the fact that the continent of Africa is currently experiencing endless amounts of Black suffering and death.
You, on the other hand, are attacking and blaming White people when they barely exist in Africa.
Yes colonialism is to blame, but South Africa managed to pull it together. You would think at least ONE more country could be capable of the same. Obviously, I don’t expect it from North Africa as they are completely brainwashed by Islam and won’t be making any progress in the foreseeable future.
@omg u bigotted ho
They’re all delusional, Beyoncé did get it right.
Mmm, hey boo ? My Latino lover on here with the avi got some competition
lol he is a cutie hey but id so corrupt him if I had my hands on him
PERV!!!!!
Ummm the special ed blonde already calculated that this would be talked about and get race discussions going. What she/he didn’t see coming is the backlash against her/his career. She thought this would help her music sell.
Biitch just stfi and goto hell…u ho
Leave Beyoncé alone! Dear Lord! She can’t win for losing. My fave is doing GOOD with her stardom and I respect her for it. White people will never be pleased, regardless of how “high-yellow” you are.
They’re not going to get a response from Beyonce. EVER. That’s the whole point. People said Beyonce doesn’t use her platform to address social or political issues, but when she does there’s so much outrage Lol. It’s called powerful marketing…. She used the music video to voice her views without leaving a trace of indignation in the song’s musical content.
I agree babe ❤️
And you’re new shortened name and avi are cute, sis
But she only did it because she has a new album coming out soon. Jesus, why are you people so naive. Thighyonce doesn’t have a sympathetic bone in her body.
Eat mine AND her pusssy u pressed biitch!!
BEYONCÉ will NEVER respond. Yes, silent is the only thing that can make your hater gets angrier.
Since Bey us giving us ratchet I need her to drop a mixtape going in on her new haters. She can call it “F**k You Ho*s”! lol
Ha.
Am loving the backlash …is time this fake b**** got what’s coming to her .
This comment is so entirely moronic and IRONIC, that I’m just gonna pay it.
It’s a HALF ASSED backlash. She’s getting no flack from the NFL or CBS. Newsflash: Her performance had to be approved. It’s hard to imagine that the powers that be would have allowed it in the first place if they felt it was a problem.
She is nothing but a useless uneducated ugly fat ghetto tout .
And what is your fave? Nonexistent? Tuh.
But still outsells beyonce worldwide
Shakira 70 million albums
Beyonce 20 million .
Lmao try again.
Lmao Bey has 31.5 million albums sold. Shegoat has 70 million but also has like double the albums out. Not to mention SheGoat has literally been around for like 25 years kiii!!! Bey is unbothered. Because over all Beyonce outsold she goat with Albums and Singles combined. We see why you mad.
But Shakira made herself a success. She didn’t fu ck anyone over or step on anyone else to get to where she’s at today. She also writes her music unlike a certain someone. She also had to do the impossible which is to successfully make it into the English speaking market as a Spanish speaker.
Lmao Bey never fuxked her eay to the top. The whole stepping on toes is something haters like you always usr against her. Bottom line is the GP wanted Bey. If any of the other girls were as talented as her, they could have stole the light (hence Jennifer Hudson). Bey going solo could have back fired. Also Bey writes some of her songs to. She goat doesn’t write her entire discography and neither does Bey. Artists singing what others wrote is a common practice and has been going on long before Bey and SheGoat stepped on the scene. She only made it in the English market by selling out. She dragged by the Latin world for going with a more English Mainstream sound. People were upset she went from talking about problems in Columbia through her music to My Hips Don’t Lie. But you know why y’all act like Beys the only with a sketchy history is beyond me. (Sips tea ☕?)
It wasn’t about talent. You know damn well that Matthew Knowles made sure that the only star shining on DC was Thighyonce. She got all the lines, she was center stage, she was the face of the group. If any of the other girls wanted so much as a word in an interview, Ms. Thing had to give a nod of approval.
Shakira has always had catchy pop songs on her albums as well as more serious ones. The only reason her English ones don’t make use of her specific and unique word play is because that gets lost in translation. She typically writes her songs in Spanish and then translates them if they get an English version.
Beyonce is a Jezebel ,a wicked woman and she is responsible for blacks being put in this awkward position… I hate this devil ,this illuminati puppet.
And your fave is responsible for singing about She-Wolves, all whilst sounding like a machine gun? What socially conscious thing has she done besides learn to use better English?
Don’t try it .Just Google shakira and see she is a godess in Latin America they even built her monument.
Everyone in texas hates beyonce ,they think she is a selfish w**** ..a gold digging b**** who faked her pregnancy.
Shakira is one of the most famous humanitarians… How you’re so blissfully ignorant of this fact is astonishing to me… oh wait you’re a Thighyonce stan – I’m never surprised at their ignorance.
We do need to focus on the hood but not only because we are killing each other but because society discriminates against us and tells us we are not worth much. This issue is bigger than beyonce. Honestly beyonce didn’t do much talking about the subject. The song lyrics do not match the message of the video and her performance. her visuals did all the speaking. Yet, still even the media is making this about beyonce when the picture is bigger than her.
Exactly, because the media loves to polarize and frame the issues as if they pertain directly to the celebrities, and that the responsibility lies solely with them…when in reality all they’re doing is distracting from the bigger picture of how whites put drugs into the ghettos and gave them to the African American community…or how they’re poisoning our water with toxic levels of acidic chemicals as a means for population control and altering our history books to lie to the next generation…flooding our foods with GMO’s that are genetically unstable and destroying chemical bonds and chains within our body, thereby weakening our immune systems and making us vulnerable to these new made up laboratory viruses and diseases, as a means of “population control”…or how they’re forcing technological advancements as a means to distract the youth from what’s really going on in the world…you’re right, the problem isn’t Beyoncé…it’s not Rihanna…or Mariah…it’s the global elite and their genocidal agenda.
I feel sorry for people like you
Take responsibility for yourself first then blame others, in your case – white people – damn what a racist b*tch you are
And b*tch i’m not “white” so save the time…
It’s actually a proved fact that the government pumped drugs into African American communities in the 70s and 80s. Blaming someone for your problems and acknowledging what they did to you are two different things.
I never realised the people on this blog were so well informed. There is indeed an agenda to wipe out minorities.
Girl… I’m going to need you to take your schizophrenic medication before turning on your computer and opening up the internet. You’re embarrassing yourself with all this conspiracy theory nonsense.
It’s bigger than her yet they gona use her as a scape goat to spill their racist guts… Just like she used black issues as scapegoats to gain more Benjis.
Taking responsibility for your own action and staying woke to the truth is two different things. The US government has been discriminating against African Americans and other Non Caucasian races since they claimed to have discovered America.
All i see here is Whiny b*tches with lil info and a lot of racism, hate and incitement.
if you use drugs blame yourself – B*TCH!
lil b*tches with bubble heads need to wake up
let me burst your bubble
It’s not about making excuses for those who use drugs or turn to crime. It’s about taking action and showing them a different way. Instilling hope into a community, regardless of what you say, is taught they can not have more than what they have. If you’ve never lived in these communities, you will never know. No, it is not right to turn to drugs or crime, but when a person is taught, we all know the outcome. I, personally know how it is in these streets, and I do my part in brining hope back. So, if all you see is whining, I in return see you as part of the problem. The problem of ignorance #NotKnowing
Oh she will respond. With more music. This backlash has probably got her in the studio with Jay doing the remix “reformation” white folks are super sensitive and always miss the point
They’re super sensitive about anything that will elicit real truths and make them temporarily uncomfortable for the sake of progress. It kills me when whites people or Uncle Tom ass black people say, “I don’t see color”. That dismissive and lack of acknowledgment is as much of a deterrent as it for them to not understand how far African-American’s have come or what we’ve endured. We’re not like everyone else. We’re not the majority who have had it easy all their lives. Our COLOR is an intrinsic and inherent part of who we are, and the whites people can stay mad but I know who I am and I’m proud of it.
You better speak on it! I hate that line “oh i dont see color” that infers that you dont see my color and want me to pretend im not of color so we can be insane together. Lets see everyones color and appreciate the differences. Also people who say “i dont care if youre black white or purple with green spots” if a girl with purple and green spots existed she would make headline news. Let’s be real
Hmmm…Shakira: semi-almost-relevant for a SECOND…. or Beyoncé: Legendary for eternity. I’ll let you decide on that one 🙂
A semi relevant person outsold your fav has bigger hits that your fav can only dream of out danced her in her own video that she had to clone shakira twice has performed in the world cup the biggest sporting events in the world thrice …don’t drag yourself b**** !
Shakira will aalways be superior to fakeyonce ..isn’t it because of her thatbbeyonce wanted to become a latina and denied her roots even learnt how to belly dance and salsa now after 10 years and counting of acting like a latina drag in blonde wigs she finally remembers her roots .
Until you can learn to utilize proper grammar, then I think we’re done here. Have a good night and be blessed.
You got my message loud and clear that’s all that matters .
I Wish you a restless sleep and lots of nightmares …choke on beyonce’s fading career.
Since you’re so concerned with proper grammar, the correct phrase is “we’re FINISHED” not “we’re done.” Chicken is done, a conversation is finished. You also forgot the comma in your compound sentence (fyi it belongs between ‘night’ and ‘and’).
Perfect your own grammar if you’re going to be a pretentious Grammar Nazi.
Mr. Michael Palladino – are you sure you wanna take it there? Let’s not forget that Former President George Bush while serving the Ronald Reagan Administration in the 1980’s, was responsible for flooding the “Ghettos” with crack cocaine – fueling gang violence and creating chaos in our communities – LETS TALK ABOUT THAT! Got some nerve and your people have something to do with the issues we faced as African Americans! Always want to put your hands up in innocence.
This whole situation is like blaming someone for leaving the stove on and their house burning down when the insulation between the walls were covered in gasoline the whole time.
Don’t speak in riddles. Say what you mean and mean what You say. Even Ann Coulter admits that the black community has been targeted by legislation designed to harm it and prevent its growth. Nobody is saying that everything is white people’s fault but the problems within the black community are a direct result of the trauma it has been forced to endure. There is no difference in the Dnas of Africans and African Americans except for the fact that the latter are actually more “African” because slaves from different tribes were forced to have s** with one other. If to be black means to be inherently bad why don’t Africans have the same problems as African Americans seeing as they are just as black? The answer? R***, torture, cattle slavery and denial by a white supremacist government. That is why the African American goes through what it goes through. How many of us were taught that the founding father of gynaecology experimented on little black girls? Or that black men were r**** by their owners in front of their families in order to break their spirits? You didn’t know these things? Wonder why
Actually, a large amount of African Americans have some amount of Caucasian genetics in them. Thomas Jefferson wasn’t the only s**** owner who enjoyed the company of Black women.
As for Africa, have you seen or read ANYTHING about it in the last 20 years? It is a fu cking disaster. Stability is almost nonexistent. The amount warlords, dictators and terrorists running around is tragic to read about. It also puts the issues people complain about here in the US into perspective.
It still doesn’t justify why so many lives have been taken away by those who swore to protect. Beyoncé is not a police officer.
That includes White lives. Of course the news ignores them, so who cares right?
Who cares about the autistic White guy that the police was gunned down in his own home last week right? They were called in to help him and instead they killed him, but he’s White, so it obviously doesn’t matter.
What about the autistic 6 year old who was shot and killed by the police? Also White, also receives no coverage. Who cares right?
Shut up white devil
Is that like some sort of catchy phrase? Either way, it’s a racist term, so keep your hypocrisy privilege in check.
Yes, I am referring to all lives. However, there have been more black victims which leaves one to question whether or not it’s done with malicious intent. Maybe Taylor Swift needs to start a White Lives Matter Campaign…
Yes, I believe I misread your post. It’s definitely right to question. As for Swift, I try to ignore her existence, so I won’t comment.
Nobody cares about those rats make an article about Beyoncé already selling out stadium across Europe
Why don’t people get it that Giselle doesn’t care about black issues, she just used it as a gimmick to sell concert tickets.
‘
Actually listen to the song, like really listen to the lyrics of the song, they are egoistic, generic, repulsive and garbage. All she is talking about is herself.
‘
The video may be considered “powerful” but in what sense, did Giselle speak up on New Orleans the way Kanye West did? When has she ever spoken up about Black issues whilst spotting a blonde wig?
‘
The truth is she doesn’t care, this is all a gimmick to stay in the press.
‘
If you really want to hear music that actually speaks up, listen to Tupac’s Changes, Janet Jackson’ Rhythm Nation…etc. These songs actually convey a powerful message.
That’s what I like to read. Unquestionable and simple logic. +20 points for Tupac and Rhythm Nation.
The same person mad at Beyoncé for supporting the movement is the same one who criticized her for not publicly taking action (she was being supportive behind the scenes). *exhibit A*
Lol she Is so fake
Yep the t has been spilt here
http://doomsdayisnear.com/beyonce-yall-haters-corny-with-that-illuminati-mess-but-she-is-corny-for-associating-black-culture-with-police-disrespect
But why isn’t the black on black crime ever acknowledged? Why is it always when a “white person” does something? That’s what’s wrong with this whole movement. It’s diverting the core issue and that’s the whole violent mentality that is so accepted these days as normal that nobody wants to address. Why has there not been one stance on the black on black violence? Beyoncé is just riding the wave and trying to be relevant. Why isn’t she addressing other violence? Why aren’t ANY of these folks? It’s pathetic.
Why do white people always feel the need to turn a blind eye to the issue at hand?
This isn’t about white on white , black on black, or Latino on Latino violence. This is about police brutality and the Black Lives Matter Movement .
The Black Community does not feel protected by the people who are supposed to protect us!
Meanwhile
Performance Beyoncé Amsterdam Arena sold out
The occurrence of Beyoncé has sold out in the Amsterdam Arena. The singer will be there on July 16 to make her appearance.
The boss of concert organizer Mojo, Wilbert Mutsaers, has announced to organize a second appearance. Also ticket seller Ticketmaster reports that there may be a second show.
Mojo has now opened a waiting list for people who can not get a ticket.
Lol! The girls are seething! Yonce has stopped the world once again! Rihanna who? Anti what?
I agree with Lovebird, her song was a gimmicks to sell a tour, I’m so disappointed in her. She has the opportunity to voice out her opinion on black issues but she chose to instead made it about the money and exploit. The song had so much potential if she decided to make it about everyone and not herself. smh
You agree with everything that Lovebird says…
Tell us something that we don’t know.
I don’t agree with LB on everything just on this. The lyrics of the song are contradicting the video.
she could made this a classic trap political song if she chose to have much more clearer and precise message.
The song is about pro black radicalism.
The trap beat has nothing to do with the meaning behind it!
Even if it was a ballad the message would still be the SAME!
The point is, you can not prove that Beyoncé is only doing this for opportunity, but what is evident are her actions: attending the march for Trayvon Martin, bailing protesters out of jail, aiding the victims of Katrina, bringing light to this issue- risking losing white fans and being black mailed- during the half time superbowl which is watched by a billion people, and using proceeds from her tour to help aid poisoned victims in Flint because of the water crisis. This what Beyoncé has done and we can see that.
The Navy is worried bout the wrong things kii. Anti gold yer?

Meanwhile THE FORMATION TOUR is on track to become the most successful tour of all time since tour gross per night will be around $6.2 million per night. At the rate tickets are selling out she will no doubt be adding atleast 15 more shows (between encores & new dates). Thats 55 shows at 6.2 million the equivalant of $341 million tour gross beating HER OWN record for highest grossing tour by a black artist. #UNBOTHERED
*faints*
Omg logic ,LB ,rihanna navy
I love you guys a ton you are the only reason I still come to this stupid site .
Turn yo punk ass ova!
Thanks babe, the amount of stupid from the hive is nauseating to be honest. Glad there are more people like you who use logic and intelligence.
Update, U2s 360 tour grossed over 700 million with 6.7 million avg but Bey is super close lol Amsterdam which hold 53K sold out in 20 MINUTES… #POORDAT! #STADIUMSTATUS #UNBOTHERED #WHENRIHSCEDULED?
Didn’t the hive won award for the dumbest fan base ever? Lol stanning for that blonde witch who doesn’t even care enough to have direct contact with them via social media kiiiiii
Beyonce won’t repsond ever
