While some stars shy away from illuminating their views on recent events in the US, Beyonce is addressing the issue head-on.
Following the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile at the hands of police officers, Queen Bey urged fans to put pressure on authorities act.
Many shared her sentiment to protest peacefully, however a select few have resorted to violence (which is never the answer). One such instance was an incident in Dallas which saw Micah Johnson shoot 11 police officers, five of which have since died.
Responding to the latest events, the 34-year-old singer offered the following…
Rest in peace to the officers whose lives were senselessly taken yesterday in Dallas. I am praying for a full recovery of the seven others injured. No violence will create peace. Every human life is valuable. We must be the solution. Every human being has the right to gather in peaceful protest without suffering more unnecessary violence.
To effect change we must show love in the face of hate and peace in the face of violence.
Again, kudos to Bey for using her platform to propagate good.
Exactlyyy I agree! People need to understand that not all cops are corrupt and those cops that died did not kill those two guys. People can’t just go around killing cops based on the actions of other police officers. Violence is not the damn answer damn it
I absolutely agree…Solange posted on Twitter that mothers of little black kids texted her saying that their kids asked them if they were going to die…a 7 year old said, “I’m not going to get big, I will be shot like all the other kids”…I cried reading that! Prayers to the families and friends of the police officers…and prayers and respect for all noble police officers!
so true, the thing is the good is suffering for the bad.
it’s war so you will have collateral damage,so people are really angry because they protest and protest and nothing isn’t changing, so i guess they are trying another way. mybe to scare the cops straight i don’t now, they hoping for some change in history drastic changes always come with blood, spill. even in the mark alot of blood was spilled. i wish things was different, but as far as i see it history is repeating it’s self.
You praise worship a woman who just realize her black culture in the past year naming an album about her husband cheating and forming a tour about being black what has Beyonce done physically in terms for black people to get ahead or praise her fellow blacks what is her record on helping she wore blond hair for a white company in order to make money loreal she design clothes with a company that slaves people in factories her and Jay turn their backs on two black kids that was discriminated against while shopping in barneys Jay did business with them anyway took his money said nothing so,miss me with these two Johnny come lately uncle tom riding d****
Rih been supportive of the black American community she would post supportive things when black men get killed unlike be and Jay both coming now because they ass just milked the community last welfare check for her formation tour black Americans hate Rihanna drag her on black blogs all day everyday stop killing each other then yall problems solve 80 percent
Black lives should matter to each other why is it only matter when white cop kill blacks why no one saving the lives in Chicago why no one shining a light in the black community there are blacks who are fearful of their own who robs them and carjacking them need cops for support so the police lives matter
Believe me my heart has been heavy all week and frustrated that we still have to protest s*** my grandparents did back in the 60s but it is true. Violence will solve nothing but cause much more bloodshed to the innocent while the evil will live on to continue to spread fear and hate. I don’t wish death on nobody, not even my worst enemy we just need justice or else there will continue to be retaliation.
So glad she spoke up! A few website called her out for not sharing anything about what’s going on in her home state of Texas. At the end of the day Beyoncé isn’t Wonder Women or a X-men who has super natural powers. While she is powerful, influential, & has a huge fan base/following there is only so much one can do. It’s just great to see that she is aware & concious of what’s going on in the real world. Someone of her kind can easily turn a blind eye and live inside her glamorous bubble! Keep it up Bey!!!
Bey stain Since 19 97 say Omg thanks you said it all love
You welcome!
I love her so much, and my heart hurts for the families of those cops that were murdered senselessly.
Why isn’t Rihanna saying anything? Hmmm…
Bíťch…
.
1) Why are you so obsessed with Rihanna?
.
2) What Beyonce has said and done is commendable and admirable – this is not the time to perpetrate a stan war and yet you are.
.
3) Beyonce is an AFRICAN-AMERICAN woman; born and raised in the United States of America thus it would be expected of her to speak on issues that affects the community for which she belongs too in her own country. Rihanna is an Afro-Caribbean woman from Barbados. More often than not she speak on issues that plagues the country from which she is from and does her best to help those within her community eg. opening schools; community centres; restaurants, starting scholarships, donating money to multiple hospitals and other charities etc. Yes, she may be Black (and she does address many problems that trouble Black people as whole and she has addressed the “Alton” case) however she is also not American!
.
4) This has nothing to do with what Black person says this and what other Black person says that… have some damn respect and grow up for the situation as a whole.
Why does Rihanna need to respond? Doesn’t she get dragged for being from Barbados? I’m sure she is some where praying about the lives lost. Poor bey, she allowed the media to place her on this high pedestal, Rihanna didn’t.
So because Rihanna is not American she shouldn’t speak out on what’s going on here? Stupidest argument ever
Chile! Levels is actually apart of The Nazi’s ???
What a terrible argument. This isn’t some random country people are expecting Rihanna to support either. You mean to tell me, Rihanna can Live in Anerica, Work in America, Benefit from all of the opportunities America has to offer, opportunities that wouldn’t be available to her if not for the labor of AFRICAN-AMERICANS, but when it comes to the issues that plague us, she’s suddenly not American enough to be involved? She’s American enough to be participate in the good, so why isn’t she American enough to participate in the bad? She doesn’t need to be the next MLK, but let’s not act like black foreigners aren’t often guilty of the same things white prople are when it comes to embracing African-Americans and our contributions to their lives when it’s convenient, when it benefits them.
Why are y’all so worried about what Rhanna is saying? What are you doing to help besides sit on a blog all day waiting for celebrity responses?
What is Keri doing to aid to Black Community? Keri is a local celebrity but I’m sure her name holds some weight in ATL.
Get up and support the cause, c00n. The hive+ is so jealous and intimidated by other female artists.
Leave rih out of this post and out your mouth today
You hating piece of s*** come here hating on rih why do you need her statement go drink bleach this is not the time you behives need to let it the f*** go and take your favorite statement leave rih alone pathetic this is the hate that plagues your communities in America stop it what did she do to you today
Pathetic black people always hating on each other examples Chicago where is Kanye West and these rappers not starting to help build their communities the hood in the islands criminals protect their own black people drug dealers help their hood by opening schools and bringing economical stability the hood with their drug money all these rich black American celebrity is all about showing how much chain boats you can buy go in the hood give those little girls and boys hope that you can come out the ghetto Oprah is the only one who I see help her people get ahead Kanye is up kims ass trying to get up the white man pants instead of helping Chicago Bob Marley came out the ghetto went back to his country brought peace even though they tried killing him
Poor people in other countries don’t have government welfare these people make something out of nothing but African Americans will find excuses to every problem that happen in their lives let’s hope and pray the problem of police brutality is solve and see if blacks will pick their selves up work stop killing robbing each other build the black community and stop with the excuses let’s see if white people put jobs and schools in the hood will they go to school and work let’s see if white people give you all that is owed to blacks from slavery days will that satisfy African Americans or can Kanye Jay bey build a school in the hood or bring a business with all the money those three have don’t think so these bums taking photo pics and writing songs call a spade a spade Latinos Jews every other race help each other get ahead why can’t blacks
she don’t have to say anything, pff you people need to start looking up to yall selves and stop looking up to celebs to lead yall, in this situation you are clearly trying to start something, let the woman live goddamn.
Tell them Bey
White Americans are just trash. African Americans are being slaughtered by cops UNLAWFULLY and UNETHICALLY and yet they try to justify the killings but calling the victims “thugs”, blaming the Black Lives Matter movement, blaming Obama (what did he do?), and so much more.
I wonder if your racist ass even realizes that twice as many White have been shot to death by cops this year even though Blacks commit a much higher percentage of crimes.
can the starving Africans stay in their lane and deal with the multiple racists that are appearing in their nation please?
.
thank you!
But you are African. You’re from Africa. You live in Africa and you’re the poorest kind of African you trolling African Hyena. ??????????????????????????????????????????
Aren’t you from Africa?
561 known people killed by police this year: “Don’t Blame all cops”.
5 Dallas cops killed last night: Blame Obama & the entire BLM movement
As a percentage of the US population, cops are getting killed at a higher number than the percent of people getting killed by police officers. Nice try though.
When cops die, everyone is to blame. When civilians die by hands of police, no one is to blame except the victim.
The first comment of yours I agree with….
officers of law are not to be harmed. people never seem to get that
.
such thing of police brutality happens in SA too, but we don’t go around killing innocent cops
.
rather let the law take it course
I still feel like Beyonce has an agenda but good for her for speaking out. #BlackLivesMatter
Let’s not act like you HAVE to be African American to state your opinion on injustice. I am for one am not, but I’ll be damned if i’m going to sit here with my mouth closed while my race continues to get killed off one by one. White Supremacy is at an all time high, especially in America. Just a few days ago Obama was addressing the issue, and got cut off by Fox News (who we all know are a racist network). Instead of focusing on which celebrity speaking out against the issue, why don’t you focusing on what YOU could be doing for the cause.
*focus
CHILE!!!! Not my fellow BeyHive giving each other lashings! I like Career Ender but DEATH @Annalise addressing @CareerEnder as TaylorToriAzelia ?!!! Y’all a mess! Love ya both still ???
I hope part of this is not dedicated to me. lest I obliterate you in a minute!
Get a life you f** not everything is about you on this blog???
@TaylorToriPigzalea Gosh, NO! I rarely acknowledge your existence tbh. I’ve had no trouble DRAGGING you before, so why would I indirect you? Did you even bother to READ what I wrote? If it applies to you, then clearly you are PART of the problem!
BTW the first part was addressing @SkidMark saying that because his fave isn’t from America that she doesn’t need to address the issue. If you were LITERATE, you would’ve realised that. Get the f*ck out of my replies with your BS!
you rarely acknowledge the Legendary One like the Legendary One is always up your comments acknowledging you smh
.
have a sit -> _/
.
thanks for clarifying that it wasn’t meant for me. cos im the only commemter so far to tell people to stay in their lane in this comment section.
GREAT!
_
So take your own advice and stay in your own lane boo!
and not saying you have dragged me before, for all I can remember; this is our first exchange eversice you tried to label me Tyler Tori and left the scene
@Taylor Hunnie, Do you really want me to dig up all the comments you left about me being a ‘HBIC’ and begging me to follow you on twitter (NEVER GONNA HAPPEN, BTW). Lmao, I didn’t have a problem with you until you started coming for me under your Slütlor-Swift account. Even then I paid you dust, but now you want to start some BS again? B*TCH I WILL drag you from Africa to America and transform you into an African-American. BYE!!!
ha! are you gon use your inner dark IGBO powers to do that?
.
how many times must I say that I ain’t Taylor Tori? , I also have multiple receipts dragging him for dragging Bey
.
Why would all of a sudden start a war with a fellow BeyHive member? , like you said, I did call you HBIC and asked you and HailBeysus to follow me (it shows I don’t have bad blood with you)
.
you’re the one who started this xit by labelling me Taylor Tori
.
its no secret I like you , HailBeysus and all other Hive cos we on the same team
.
its up to you if you wan create the Bad Blood with me by accusimg me of being someone I ain’t
SHUT UP HEAUX! I made it clear that I wasn’t addressing u in my original comment, so why is that cøcksucker still open? What your sub-Saharan ass should’ve done was apologise for foolishly trying me (and losing!) Hive or no hive, nobody is going to play me? BYE @TaylorToriPigzalea
ggjjğhufhvjgfdnfhhyhhtcfff

me career ended?
.
My grammar says otherwise
& LMAO @ you always replying to this trash using my EX username
.
In my Rih03 talk-singing voice “This ho3 got me feeling like Molly (always mentioning me), so pardon me if I’m impolite, you take me higher….”
i’m not black. and i do think what i can do. just 3rd eye tho. i’m still searching for reliable crime statistics. nothing butchered by the propaganda machine. and well… this is the picture the robocops have. risk estimation. i’ve seen a lot of crap the past hours. the cops are seriously not perfect either. some robots and cowboys. i saw 7 officers shoot one person. that is a f***** up procedure. back to school. some ethics. media reception course. do all on camera. i gotta say tho…. if you wanna change something you gotta change the picture they paint of you. blend yourself with the lowest chain link in your community. and… be aware that… numbers don’t lie.
and just to paint a picture. dunno what is castillo’s dresscode. and telling the cop he’s got a gun was bad i think. draws the sh*t. and the failed cops started. they shoulda exracted all out of the car. started with hands. split the threat, check the credentials and gun and the issue woulda been solved. really just an ‘unlucky’ day. real bad to say it like that tho. -_-
Yes queen bey there is no hate in your mind for police but haters like to twist your word you are a good hearted star this is why you are love by God good people and your wounderful fans may godcontinue to bless protect you and your family for life more power more success in all you do I love you so much
Soooooo many said her pro black look was fake but this woman has stayed true to what she believes in and continues to! Fuxk a fake b**** who wanna act like they stood by Bey all this time! She lost over 200k followers on instagram for her BLM post and I’ve been seeing loads of nasty comments left about her on Twitter! So fuxk the nonsense about a bitxh tryna use this as a way to sell albums. I’ve even seen BeyHive fans denounce their support for her because of this. Such a shame that so many will choose to stay ignorant and act as if racism and superiority doesn’t exists in this world.
Hailegendbeysus omg well said thanks let’s continue to love and support our bey for life
DAMAGE CONTROL
Her team wrote the statement, chick is dumb.
She hurt her “friends” Latavia and Latoya,hurt Neyo, she only cares about her self.
Someone who strong-armed writers to get credits (BC Jean, Fussary and more), even has an album (Bday Delux) pulled from store shelves because of stealing and unethical actions.
Someone who kicked out her childhood friends can’t be trusted.
You are so sick hater mongers get a life and stope hating lying on bey 47 7
Annalise is something else for attacking career ended like that smh.
ha! are you gon use your inner dark IGBO powers to do that?

stop mentioning my name you don’t exist in my realm anymore
.
stay in your xit licking lane
You never existed in mine. I just felt bad for your no life havin cockroach eating ass.
The president is the most protected.To them we’re the lab rats.Terrorist attacked a school yet here they are protecting one man.
Blacks can’t keep their children safe.Instead of chasing the real criminals, they’re harassing innocent people.Truth is, the corrupt police are helping gang bangers destroy the black community.They pretty much handed them the weapons.
Police brutality is a real issue that deserves attention, but why have we allowed a much more prevalent threat against black lives–gun violence in the black community–to become such a normal part of our existence that we don’t move to stop it with the same energy, passion and the same organized voice of opposition that we give for BLM and police brutality? Maybe the truth is we are overprotective of criminals when they happen to be our sons, nephews, cousins and friends who we don’t want to see locked up, and if that’s true, then we can’t point out other peoples’ crimes while hiding the ones that happen in our streets. Either we want to stop violence and abuse against blacks (particulary our young men) or we don’t. “Black lives matter!” doesn’t mean anything if we never sweep around our own front door.
I apologize for calling you a fool the other day…you’re obviously not…I was angry after hearing about Alton Sterling and Philando Castile…I see where you’re coming from with this comment…sorry.
DEATH @MøldyHøe clinging to CareerEnder ?. Whether we argue or not, we are still HIVE and proud BLACK’s. Something you’ll never be!!!

So I’m supposed to believe you’re an Engineer ( i.e.: Someone who is able to design materials, structures, and systems) … And yet you can’t even form a basic sentence. LMAO. The KII’s write themselves.
@Annalise No one is clinging to anyone. But how do you just accuse your fellow hive member of trolling? You show you have NO LOYALTY.
Wtf would you know about loyalty? The Navy has accused you of trolling. The Hive has accused you of trolling but did that prevent you from kissing any of our ass? Lol NO. You’re an idiot.
Lmao, come thru Tyler!
@Career Ender
Girl! Look at The Biracial Maid trying to come to your defense. You’ve dragged that fake b**** how many times?? LOL She’s the epitome of a sidekick.
KIII @Mildred-The-NonBlack-Maid is obsessed with me! ?? who came for who first? Who responded to who first? The receipts of the trolling were there already. Lmao and you pretty much just described yourself with that ‘loyalty’ comment
But how do you just accuse your good girlfriend like that? You make beef outta nothing.
I know right..
.
She’s as fake as YOU
.
OK maybe a little bit more

“I WILL drag you from Africa to America and transform you into an African-American”
Looooool I’m so stealing that line?????
Much better. I’m always happy to drag Thighyonce, but this is a positive message I can get behind.
Oh, so the message that she made about how police officers should stop using EXCESSIVE force and killing UNARMED people in cold blood wasnt positive? Fake ass wanna be Donald Trump
Nice
Some things will never change
