Beyoncé’s Super Bowl Performance Causes Political Backlash

One Twitter user blasted: “What is the National Football League thinking when they permit Beyonce to sing some race baiting rant at Super Bowl 50?”

First Lady Michelle Obama revealed in a pre-game Super Bowl interview that she “cared deeply” about what turned out to be the controversial, anti-police half-time show featuring Beyonce among other performers.

Rudy Giuliani singled out “If I Were A Boy” hitmaker Beyonce, who along with her dancers, put her fist in the air during the performance, as it evoked the “Black Power” salute.

Nothing brings us all together better than a hatred of Fox News.

Although Giuliani and Raven-Symone aren’t fans, Beyonce was proud of her performance. Her choreography also included an X-shaped formation in tribute to civil rights activist Malcolm X. Later, the police raise their hands up like people under arrest as graffiti on the wall reads, “Stop shooting us”.

Of course, it is no surprise that Queen B slayed the halftime performance, but there is more- she did not only gave a banging performance on the Super Bowl 50 halftime show but took it in a bit of a political and deeper level this time, and it’s making waves in social media, CNN reported Monday. “So if you can have entertainment, let’s have decent wholesome entertainment”.

“I thought it was really outrageous that she used it as a platform to attack police officers”, Giuliani said, “who are the people who protect her and protect us to keep us alive”. “I miss that girl singing”.

‘And what we should be doing, in the African-American community and in all communities, is build up respect for police officers and focus on the fact that when something does go wrong, OK, we’ll work on that’.

If you missed the Super Bowl halftime show, you missed one of Beyoncé’s clearest racial political messages.

So did Beyonce’s performance bring attention to the Black Lives Matters movement?

“It [made] me proud”, Beyonce tells Entertainment Tonight’s Kevin Frazier in the following video after caught up with the artist at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on Sunday, not long after halftime ended.

“You know what’s right in the middle of America?”
