"Most Of Us Haven't Seen It And Wouldn't Understand It Even If We Did, But It Makes Us Mad Anyway"
Well, I didn't see this coming. I watched Beyonce perform her new song/video "Formation" at halftime of the Super Bowl and thought it was quite entertaining. That was me. Conservative America had a different reaction.
In Right-tard Land, they threw a hissy-fit. They saw black dancers in black berets (OMG! Black Panthers!), and they thought they heard references to Katrina, BlackLivesMatter, cops, afros, Jackson 5 nostrils, hot sauce, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, and yes, Red Lobster. They complained about things like "cultural decay" and "social rot" and "Beyonce's anti-cop political agenda." Way too black for them.
Rudy Giuliani probably put it best when, speaking on behalf of all the bubble-dwellers in Limbaugh-Drudge-Breitbart World, he went on Fox & Friends and said:
"I'm an old, white, angry, racist Republican, and I'm not alone. We are outraged! We don't like this Beyonce and whatever you call that stuff she does. We don't understand it and we don't care to try. Just a bunch of booty-shakin' uppity N-words disrespecting our great nation on America's High Holy Day. Who do they think they are, reminding us of things we want to forget?"
Rudy went on to explain that although many of his peers hadn't seen the game, hadn't watched the halftime show, hadn't heard the song, and hadn't watched the video, they were still correct to be pissed off at Beyonce.
