that's fine, i'm not a huge fan of r&b music myself tbh, and i've never been a huge beyoncé fan, it's just the s/t that's jaw-dropping
not to start this conversation, but i think it's fine that u like whatever u like, regardless of race, and people should respect that

I've never heard a Beyonce album before and have never been a fan really, but this really blew me away
Also, @Maco, wasn't the Formation video practically that anyway?

Does anyone find it a little unbelievable that the experience of Beyonce, a multimillionaire pop culture icon, who's succeeded in an allegedly oppressive country for years, is representative of the everyday repressed experience of black women -- whatever that means?
I don't have to listen to Lemonade to recognize, as so described by this reviewer, that it's inherently contradictory: To wit, promulgating Critical Race Theory and critiquing the culture industry via pop music -- i.e., perpetuating the culture industry -- is not exactly what the innovators of Critical Theory had in mind when they wanted to unify theory and praxis.
Moreover, you mention appropriation. Funny how these same innovators were Jewish and literally fled Nazi Germany soon after Hitler came to power. To understand Critical Theory, one must understand its development in response to antisemitism both in Europe and America. I see the likes of Beyonce, Kendrick Lamar, beneficiaries and willing members of the culture industry, and others having no qualms about waxing poetically about oppression and appropriation, taking the Critical mantle for themselves, when Theodor Adorno, one of the aforementioned Jewish innovators, bitterly intoned: "Writing poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric."
Social justice has become the trade of megalomaniacal hypocrites and dilettantes, who are fooled by their own con. If anyone thinks Lemonade is some monumental progressive achievement, they also are so fooled.

yes, lots of people think what you think, surely many of them in this very thread

would have been more intersectional had it been about irn-bru

There's still too many who don't. Most people who cheer social justice and believe themselves on the "right side of history" have no idea where those notions come from and the bloody history involved in them.

so because she's rich she can't feel strongly about/write about the oppression of her people that makes about as much sense as the sjw "YOU'RE A WHITE MALE" argument so you're stance is hardly any better than those you are attacking
