She had an opportunity to connect with her on a deeper level if she would’ve just been normal and expressed empathy instead of using this situation for clout and trying to paint Sza as a mean girl for advocating for herself.
It’s so weird that this is the attitude for “that” film instead of all films. The Hunger Games director is literally a Zionist and yet this is the convo we’re having. And it’s still Free Palestine.
@TheJobfather__
I’m weak af. Expecting Capitol Grille and showing up to koolaid in wine glasses and steak that’s prob not the right temperature 💀 she had every reason to be pissed off.
@queenveej
As hip-hop and rap have become more popular they love to cosplay in the culture. It’s interesting as a black gen Z to see them turn our culture into “trends” and then try to judge us when they’re tired of the “trend” but it’s a part of our lives so it’s not going anywhere.

The internet and us having so much access to the world at large makes people think everything is new… I promise 9/10 it’s not just our generation and it didn’t just start happening
I'm all for people having their opinion but come on, this take is absolutely baseless. Beyonce did the research to ensure people from the culture were included. Resulting in queer people being included in the songwriting, production, sampling, and features on this album.
@DiversityHire
I be tryna tell people this. She’s literally one of the best athletes we’ve ever seen across sports. They would score her new stunts low on purpose to give other girls a chance and she still wins.
@TheKalenAllen
Oh that lady was bold af. That was so unprofessional and rude like Raven didn't have one of the biggest shows and movies from Disney Channel. I wish Raven would've given her the response she deserved cause that resume is long.
@shaTIRED
I hate when people do this to women like Doja Cat or Zendaya bc they’re talented and hardworking women. We can bring up the women that deserve shine without comparing them (or at least pick better examples of colorism boosting mediocrity).
The woman has refused to perform over there for nearly a decade in solidarity with the BDS cultural boycott. Her company and films creative director is very vocally Pro-Palestine. People love a gotcha moment but let’s focus on making actual impact.
You may not want to hear this but Beyonce is a star rated vocalist. Her instrument is not up for debate. The legends we uplift (Michael, Prince, Whitney, Stevie, Patti, Gladys, Tina Turner, Anita Baker, Diana Ross, etc.) disagree with you and respect her.
@NinaSerafina
Like psychological warfare with a toddler??? It was never that serious. Plus her telling the story like a cute anecdote when she was basically a victim was crazy.

Okay but how did Hawaii become a US state? Not peacefully or willingly so the point still stands that the locals of the islands don’t want tourists there and our presence negatively affects their society
@jiggyjayy2
I think she made a good point. A lot of the people I see critique colorism on here don’t seem to do it from a genuine place. They use it to drag down women they don’t like.
@heyyitsjanea
I had a looser curl pattern nd def got treated different when my hair was bone straight, that being said I think the representation for the campaign still should’ve been different

@HelloKennedi
It’s a term of endearment, idk why ppl tryna make it into shade. I’ve noticed irl people across the diaspora do it and it’s never a disrespectful thing.
@keescrawford
Me personally I don’t order unless I have 5 for tip but this trend of ppl being pissed over it is wild when the companies are really the problem. Doordash/Ubereats should be paying folks enough to not need a tip.

It’s like kids with discovering a toy. They’ll pick up aave terms/slang randomly and proceed to overuse it. Soon as they’re tired of it then try to make it seem cringe 🤦🏾

@WNBA
It’s crazy af because Angel was the top NIL earner for 2023 and has 6 millions followers between IG & TikTok the last time I checked. There’s several other incoming rookies with decent followings as well, I’m tired of them basically being ignored like they don’t have star power.
@grizzgoatsports
Her wearing an outfit doesn’t mean people are allowed to sexualize her. Angel and her teammates have been referred to as dirty debutants in a LA times article… you can’t possibly believe that’s appropriate or warranted.

Adele is a dark mezzo-soprano, Bey is a mezzo soprano. Bey has a wider range (she can go lower and higher than Adele) so Bey could sing literally any Adele ballad but Adele would struggle with several Bey ballads.

Earlier this year I accidentally walked into the wrong apartment coming back from getting the mail. It’s terrifying that I really could’ve lost my life that day bc of how this country is set up.
@takirahhhh
Raven guarded her for 3 quarters and held her to 12 points on 5-20 and 4 turnovers but she didn’t put the clamps on her 😂 I hate when ppl don’t actually watch
@Dreadful4Tymes
If I’m arguing with a Nazi and someone chooses to say hey you both have a point I’m def looking at you like you’re just as bad as the nazi. I don’t understand how centrists don’t see the harm in that.
People really lose all logical thinking when it comes to Beyonce. If all it took to be Beyonce was upper middle class parents there’d be a lot more Beyoncé’s out here…
Let's not act like Nepotism Beyoncé wasn't privileged from birth.
Her success from the DC days to get solo days was handed to her by her Dad. While other DC members watered out she was the only one standing due to the unending privileges.
@jiggyjayy2
I’m dismissive of colorism bc I don’t think it should be heralded as the only reason for a girls career when ppl don’t like them? I’m 100% for the critique of colorism nd it’s impact on the industry but that shouldn’t include tearing women down or pitting them against each other.
I’ll add this, if you want to participate in the boycott and support Palestine visit the BDS website. It is full of information on the boycott and which companies are the targets. Palestine will be free 🇵🇸

@deytimeee
Black men treat being called out for being misogynistic the same way white people treat being called out for being racist. Def not an insult we just live in a society that conditions people early and often and it needs to be fought.
I read the article in full, and it's hypocritical. There are nods to the seamless transitions, but the closing statements say it's not cohesive. We recognize the members of ballroom included in the project, but because Beyonce isn't ballroom, it falls flat.
@ctrlxchris
@shaTIRED
Idk it’s just weird (imo) to pick Doja (who put in YEARS of work for that mainstream success) and Zendaya (who constantly speaks against colorism and is conscious of it when choosing/pursuing roles). I feel there’s better examples of colorism boosting lackluster careers.
@jiggyjayy2
It’s nearly impossible to completely boycott everything that’s the whole purpose of BDS and the targeted boycott. A structured boycott is the best way to make an impact. They lay all of this out on their website but I don’t think many ppl take the time to read it.
The last paragraph contradicts the rest of the article and its praises causing it to come off as very biased. It's as if the writer is searching for something negative in the album. Insinuations that Beyonce is burying queer history are defamatory and unsubstantiated.
Beyonce has stood by and supported her queer fans for years. This album was a dedication to her Uncle Johnny, who helped to raise her. Reaching assumptions that Beyonce lacks understanding of the subcultures featured on this album are backed by no actual evidence.
I’ll never forget we was talking to my mom and she said she had the greatest kids in the world and I jokingly said idk Tina got Beyonce and Solange and my momma agreed with me??? Like even if it’s true don’t say it 💀
@starshine65
It’s okay to be wrong 😂 my feelings aren’t hurt about anything and my self worth is based only on myself and my accomplishments. Just a music lover with ears that doesn’t need to make things up to hate on talented and successful black women. Have a nice day.
I could continue on, but I will stop here. Like I said in the beginning I understand everyone having their opinions. I in no way expect every listener to fall in love with the album, but a professional critique should at least be based on fact and be consistent.
@mxmsworld
My sister and I eat like normal ppl then here comes our lil brother 💀 we’ll cook hella food thinking we finna have leftovers until my brother decides to go in the kitchen at 2 am and eat everything in that mf
@DeeLaSheeArt
When I first saw the clip I assumed it would have something to do with the plot but he really just did it for fun and that makes it funnier to me 💀
