Beyonce selling 'Boycott Beyonce' shirts
by Lisa Respers France @CNNMoney
In February Beyonce dropped the music video for her single "Formation," and it included a reference to the Black Lives Matters movement. She followed that by including backup dancers dressed in Black Panther-esque outfits during her Super Bowl halftime show.
Some police unions viewed the show as being anti-police and asked their members not to provide off-duty security for her stadium tour.

(10,597 posts)... I'll take a million Beyonces over that bunch of crazy demons, any old day. Seriously... did anyone actually click the link and read their vicious rants against Beyonce? We need to take everyone of those SOBs and throw their butts in prison and throw away the key. How's that for an opinion? Also, they don't like the ARTs either. Basically, they are a group of disgruntled old misogynists.

I just don't understand the need to develop such elaborate rationales for disliking an artist's work. All they're doing is preaching to the choir (as it were) and won't influence any new opinions in their readers.
Myself, I'm not moved by her music. I could go into details, but they're irrelevant. I prefer other musicians, other types of music. If other people are moved or inspired by her art, then they've found something in it that speaks to them. I hope they are able to act upon the emotions and issues which she touches on in her work, and find therein either satisfaction or inspiration in their own lives. I'm not about to try to inject myself or my opinions into another person's taste in music to try and change them. I could discuss the music I enjoy, and how it moves me, but I'd do that by heaping praise on it, not by heaping dung or insults on someone else.
Why is this simple concept so alien to such a small but quite vocal slice of America?

(46,327 posts)A guy I know and I, like to notice when we make funny typos in our e-mails, like the time he asked me about the "batroom."
But the king of typos was on the old Fidonet, a guy named Goldberg who made so many typos typing 300 words per second, (the guy was extremely bright and tore up fundies something fierce,) we had "Glodbregs."
