“Why is race brought in at the halftime show of the Super Bowl?” “But the vast majority of police officers risk their lives to keep us safe”. And she did provide some vocals for a track on their new album. If you thought it was performing her new song- guess again.

As I have said: I find it incredible that somebody like Beyonce is sticking to what she believes in and trying to make a difference despite knowing full well there would have been some sort of backlash.
Beyonce’s publicist had no immediate response to an email request for comment.
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.
“The Black Panthers are a subversive hate group in America”.
And if you guessed her performance would mirror that, you’d be right.
“It’s, in fact, telling in the same manner as white people’s discomfort with the words “Black Lives Matter” â a simple and self-evident concept that nonetheless troubles people”, he adds. She chose part of a song she has just released which takes police to task for the deaths of young black youths. Woods was shot and killed by San Francisco police in December and has become a symbol to the Black Lives Matter movement.
We literally cannot stop thinking about Beyonce’s incredible halftime show performance at Super Bowl 50, but unfortunately, since it was really Coldplay’s show, we didn’t get to hear almost enough music from Bey.
One wrote on Twitter: “Beyoncé just gave America a Black history lesson this week”.
Beyonce’s Super Bowl appearance hit a nerve with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who called her Black Panther-inspired performance an “attack on police officers”. The halftime show I thought was ridiculous anyway. I didn’t know what the heck it was – a bunch of people, like, bouncing around….
