So I've been meaning to touch on this topic for a while since I first viewed the video and saw Beyonce's video "Formation". My question is... Is this a new problem of America or now it is an issue because of the most influencial people in music right now has decided to express her freedom of creativity and expose the way of our world?
Mental slavery and division is nothing new in America. It has been dated back many years ago and it is still going on till this day! Beyonce was the person who stuck the nerve with America! Everyone walked around called her Illuminati, called her evil and how she conformed to the music industry but that's the furthest from the truth...
Quick Facts On Beyonce:
1. She invested millions into housing for the less fortunate in TX
2. Beyonce donated her whole check from "Cadillac Records" to the Phoenix House. Phoenix House is an organization of rehabilitation centers for heroin addicts around the country.
Amongst other things, she has definitely given back to the community without the media exposure! I salute her for everything. They say she's not a role model because she wears leotards all the time... And? She's a grown woman and that is now her trademark!
Back to the issue at hand, just had to shed some light on the woman you may not have known about! So Miami Fraternal Order of Police urged a boycot for Beyonce's April tour launch in Marlin's Park. What sparked this outrage with law enforcement? The now infamous video "Formation" where Beyonce is standing face to face with law enforcement with a hoodie (representing Trayvon Martin) with the words supporting her on the wall behind her "Stop Shooting Us" made have hurt their feelings. Was she wrong? NO! Beyonce has every right to say and express her outlook on the world's issues! I mean it is facts right??? Just saying! Let's not forget SuperBowl at halftime when she came out with African American ladies dressed as Black Panther costumes supporting her! Yesssss, I loved the natural hair of the woman (Wished Beyonce did the same) but the message was definitely received!
What makes this story so amazing is Minister Louis Farrakhan has stepped up and offered protection for her world tour! This is a huge step in making a national and global statement. This brings awareness in some many levels. The police and the government will feel the raft of the Nation of Islam.
Here's a statemnt from Minister Farrakhan:
"She started talking that black stuff ... and white folks (said), 'We don't know how to deal with that. But when one of us shows some independence, look how you treating Beyoncé now. You gonna picket. You not going to offer her police protection? But the (Fruit of Islam, the security branch of his organization,) will."
