Knowles’ tweets chronicled her experience going to a predominantly white Kraftwerk concert in which she had something thrown at her and was told to sit down by white concert-goers.
In her explanation, she detailed just why Black people don’t feel safe in white spaces and why Black women are justifiably perceived as “angry” as times.
She sets the scene at a concert, where her and her family were in the minority of attendees.

Knowles began the tweet series at around 9 p.m. Friday, when she said a group of four women-all white women, Knowles said-singled her out among a crowd of an estimated 1,500 concertgoers and demanded she and her family sit down. “Now back to me & my husbands favorite song “Autobahn” she wrote.
Solange claims the women threw something at her back, which she says her son later “confirmed it was a lime”. They yell, “u need to sit down now”…
Knowles points out that when black citizens are just trying to have a good time like everybody else, it’s often labeled as creating drama..
After speaking out on the issue, Knowles was about to move on and enjoy the rest of the show.
