pimmelfratze Posted June 2 Posted June 2 Beyonce was never the trendsetter of anything and rode on waves created by others for her own benefits 4 1 5
Polgg48 Posted June 2 Posted June 2 tasty chicken lovely chicken ot: she did benefit from activism but far and away from profiting her total pocket money. when maya said it, she means by small amount contributed to beyonce account which nobody bother at the end.
favorite crime Posted June 2 Posted June 2 1 hour ago, Kristie Kuwa said: When Childish Gambino hit #1 with This Is America, he was celebrated. When Beyonce released Formation, she was threatened by the US Police with less protection. Formation came before This Is America. Thats all im going to say to this topic Hives are so- . TIA was also plenty controversial and the only reason Formation wasn't a #1 was because it was a Tidal exclusive. Artists like Nina Simone and Billie Holiday were actually risking their lives before Beyoncé was even born + Prince, Michael Jackson, dozens of rapppers all released political singles before Bey did 12 1
Great808 Posted June 2 Posted June 2 Someone who was born into political circumstances calling out someone who doesn't have any real experience in the real world let alone what they think they know what they're talking about and ppl have the nerve to pick on her in here is peak delusional and borderline comedic. The fact that she apparently has all these intense feelings and statements but yet she hasn't made a REAL statement outside of songs that are not written by her to begin with is embarrassing. That woman would lose against M.I.A. In a debate so damn fast 3 1
Dreajae Posted June 2 Posted June 2 What losers. Half of the people with something to say can't even open their mouth when someone cuts in front of them in a fast food order line but want to go up for any civil war conflict on twitter. And the ethics many have when it comes to supporting other faves sweat shops, carbon emissions, and infrastructure heavy tours is a joke. Always a problem with Beyonce. 1

They're saying that it's easier for any other black person to gain clout points off black marginalization and social injustice without doing much. No one in the new millieum has taken a stand like the artists of the Civil Rights movement. But even now, black spaces are having conversations about these guys flaws and the long term effects of some of their stances. I.e that assimilation wasn't the answer, but our men wanted proximity to other groups of women. Donald is a clown in the black community TODAY. He has made racist and degrading jokes at his own expense and in an effort to chase a whole other rave of woman. But one song in 2017 made him a black activist. He other experience with their blackness are easier validated over Beyonce. And yall will let any POC sell out clown get a bad word in about Beyonce. 3

The bolded letting me know what type of person you are you probably believe everything the FBI has said about Martin Luther King and all other types of divestor/new black lies about the CRM.

I made it because it goes to show it didnt serve as the source of her becoming a billionaire and also that she wasn't purely celebrated for it like the host was literally stating before MIA made her remark 1

Chris Posted June 2 Posted June 2 Some of you are so weird. It's like people expect Beyonce and only Beyonce to magically rid the world of all their problems or something. It's kind of embarrassing and just reeks of performative activism and virtue signaling. 3 1
Apolonio ₃₄ Posted June 2 Posted June 2 M.I.A. is so lost lmao. Girl you got bigger issues to worry about instead of Beyoncé. 2 1
Shelter Posted June 2 Posted June 2 The same people in here moaning are the ones crying for her to say something now. So many fake people on here Also who cares what that flop has to say
superben Posted June 2 Posted June 2 While Mia maybe a hypocrite and/or lunatic, there's no denial Beyonce has profited a lot from her "activism". 1
TipToe Posted June 2 Posted June 2 Her actvism being authentic or not it's not the factor that made her a billionaire, she's a billionaire because she's Beyoncé , lol. Now these people that think there are superior people that can be called true this or that are just signaling virtue, in the end it's not about your real intentions but the results. It's good that Beyoncé as a big name gives platform to sociopolitical issues, or isn't it? She should be not allowed to become sensible about some subjects at some point and incorporate it on her art because she's profiting from it or because she just didn't do it since the very first day of her career? That's ridiculous to me.
perfect blue Posted June 2 Posted June 2 5 hours ago, Dolce Vita said: as much as i love her music she can't really talk like isn't her ex husband/baby daddy a billionaire? what about the big designer brand collabs she's done over the years? lmao she's benefitted from the same machine beyonce has But does that invalidate ANYTHING that she said?

Lose My Breath Posted June 2 Posted June 2 3 hours ago, TeemoR said: Well she is right. Beyonce is a faux activist, benefitted from supporting what is "cool to support" in America. She doesn't do anything remotely risky that could hurt her brand though. Do what? She tributed the Black Panthers at the superbowl Do you live in the US? 1
