Beyonceâs âBlack Pantherâ Super Bowl show SLAMMED by former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani who says singer 'used it as a platform to attack police officersâ
Beyonce is being criticized by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani for her Super Bowl halftime performance
'I thought that she used it as a platform to attack police officers, who are the people who protect her and protect us and keep us alive,â said Giuliani
Members of the National Sheriffsâ Association who watched the game turned off the TV when Beyonce appeared on the halftime show and voiced their outrage that the NFL would allow an anti-police song to be performed
Beyonceâs backing dancers appeared dressed as Black Panthers activists with all-black outfits and signature black berets
Several dancers also appeared in an image holding a piece of paper reading 'justice 4 Martin Woods, a black man shot dead by around a dozen police in San Francisco after refusing to drop a knife
The Black Panthers were an armed group involved in the black power movement of the Sixties and Seventies
Yâalla bunch of âfree speechâ hypocrites, thatâs what.
Anyway, nowâs the perfect time to bring up the current statistics for how racist and incredibly out of touch whites are:
Apart from the upper class, only two groups tend to be seen as 'takersâ rather than 'giversâ: black Americans and Hispanic Americans. 45% of the country views black Americans as 'takersâ, while only 20% see them as 'giversâ. 35% say that Hispanics are takers and 31% say that they are givers.
50% of white Americans say that blacks take more than they give, while 16% say that they give more to society than they take. 44% of Hispanics say that black Americans take more, while 45% of black Americans say that they give more than they take.
Respondents were asked to identify which class they consider themselves. 45% of white Americans identify as working class while 52% identify as middle class. There is very little difference between working class whites (49%) and middle class whites (51%) in how likely they are to view black Americans as 'takersâ.
Ideology, however, has a significant impact. Liberal whites tend to say that blacks give more than they take, with 41% of white liberals, something working class white liberals also agree with. Most white moderates (53%) and white conservatives (69%) say that black Americans take more than they give.
White Americans (38%) are much less likely than either black Americans (83%) or Hispanics (62%) to say that their racial identity is important to them. There is very little difference between working class (38%) and middle class (40%) whites on this issue, though conservative whites (44%) are slightly more likely than liberal whites (37%) to say that their race is important to them.
Most white Americans (62%) say that your class has a bigger impact on your life in America than your race (19%), something black Americans definitely do not agree with. 67% of black Americans say that race is more important than class, something only 23% disagree with. Hispanics are split 41% to 41%.
My only issue with the poll is I would have liked to see a further break down of âhispanicâ- which ones are white latinos, non-Black latinos, and Black latinos? I want to know how informed this antiblackness is.
From the article Iâm not linking because theyâre trash:
Beyonce walked on to the field with the performers in a straight line before they formed an 'Xâ, thought to refer to Malcolm X
Wouldnât it be cool if it were that deep doe (who knows, with Formation era Bey, it just might be).
With some closing thoughts (related via analysis of whiteness, but unrelated to being directly about this whiteâs comments about Beyonce and Black Pride VS police brutality what Iâm posting) by thetrudz (gradientlair) on twitter:
