1. Don't instruct me how I should feel about art.
2. When did Beyonce claim this is a political statement?
3. How you going to tell other people how to do their art. Either you dig it or you don't. Don't tell an artist or an entertainer what there art should be.
4. How you going to be dismissive of what you state they'be done for the moment. Did a documentary, bail BLM protesters out of jail and donated 1.5M to BLM, that all sounds pretty substantial and I gaurantee more than what the writer has done.
5. And how are you going to diss for being late to the party then list all she had done before the superbowl?
6. How you going to diss two lines of the song because it "conveniently glosses over the history of colorism that’s baked into Creole identity." How was she suppose to address all that in two lines of a song? One of the dumber critiques in this piece.
7. And the whole thing about Beyonce using the footage without permission is just wrong. I would have fact checked that before publishing because they got too many lawyers to do something so stupid.
