Something HORRIBLE Was Noticed About Beyonce’s Halftime Song!


By Kosar



There is no question that famous singer Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z are Obama-supporting activists. But people are noticing something about a hidden message Beyonce sent during tonight’s Super Bowl Half Time performance.

With Coldplay and Bruno Mars, Beyonce introduced her new song- which is called “Formation.” That song is a tribute to the radical Black Lives Movement, as you can see in the music video (below):

Video at link.

The story shows Beyonce on top of a cop car in New Orelans years after Hurricane Katrina.

The screen is covered with the words “Stop Shooting Us” and shows black children wearing hoodies. Pathetic!

Beyonce and Jay-Z have been supportive of the violent Black Lives movement, and spent thousands to bail people out of prison during the deadly Baltimore, MD riots.

But our police deserve respect! And the NFL should be embarrassed that Beyonce was allowed to send this pro-Black Lives Matter message out to more than 100 million viewers.

Beyoncé unleashes Black Panthers homage at Super Bowl 50

Star makes political statement with dancers posing with raised fists à la Tommie Smith and John Carlos at 1968 Olympics

With references to the Black Lives Matter movement, Malcolm X and the Black Panthers, Beyoncé’s half-time show at the Super Bowl on Sunday might be the most radical political statement from the superstar in her 20-year career.

Backing dancers wearing Black Panther-style berets and clad in black leather were photographed after the performance posing with raised fists evocative of the black power salute by Tommie Smith and John Carlos at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City.

Beyonce's dancers paid tribute to #MarioWoods, black man killed by San Francisco police. #SB50 #BlackLives

Woods, who was reportedly armed with a knife, was filmed as he was shot dead after being surrounded by about a dozen police officers. A lawyer representing Woods’s family has called for the federal government to investigate the case for civil rights violations and examine whether any of the five officers involved should face criminal charges.

The dancers’ visual homage to the Black Panthers marked 50 years since the formation of the group, which had its roots in Oakland, less than 50 miles from the stadium where the Super Bowl was played.

Founded by Huey P Newton and Bobby Seale, the movement was a revolutionary black nationalist organisation and one of the most influential civil rights group of the late 60s, but vilification in the media and some members’ connections to illegal activities led the then FBI director, J Edgar Hoover, to call it “the greatest threat to the internal security of the country”.

Beyoncé was widely tipped to be preparing to make a deeply political statement with her Super Bowl show after releasing a surprise single and video, Formation, on Saturday, which referenced both Hurricane Katrina and the recent mass protests across the US over police killings of unarmed young black men.

The video shows Beyoncé sitting on top of a police car and includes scenes showing a young black boy dancing in front of lines of riot police, who put their hands up, before cutting to a wall of graffiti that reads: “Stop shooting us.”
On Friday, Beyonce’s husband, Jay-Z, announced that he would donate $1.5million (£1m) raised at a charity concert run by his streaming service Tidal last year to the Black Lives Matter movement and other social justice organisations.

Beyoncé’s performance was not the only political statement of the night, with Coldplay’s set featuring a marriage-equality inspired rainbow wave of placards held up across the stadium, which spelled out: “Believe In Love”.

Commentators said the message was indicative of how far the gay rights movement has come. “This was a combination of local pride – I was born and used to live in San Francisco – and the simple reminder of the country’s progress on LGBTQ acceptance,” wrote Seth Millstein of Bustle.

“Even five years ago, it wouldn’t have been conceivable for the Super Bowl to express an unabashedly pro-gay message during the half-time show.”

• This article was amended on 8 February 2016 to clarify that the lawyer representing Mario Woods’s family is asking the federal government to consider criminal charges in the case, not seeking to bring them himself.

Obama endorses Beyonce: Role model for White House daughters

Beyonce hosts a campaign fundraiser for President Obama, and comes away with her own endorsement from the president as a role model for his daughters.

By Monitor Staff SEPTEMBER 20, 2012

Beyonce – singer and new mom of baby girl Blue Ivy – and her husbandJay-Z hosted a $40,000-a plate fundraiser for President Barack Obama's reelection campaign Sept. 19 with her husband at his 40/40 club in New York and got a presidential endorsement of her own ... as a role model to the first daughters.

"Beyonce could not be a better role model for my girls," Mr. Obama remarked.

Which seems on point, because Michelle Obama has said Beyonce is herrole model. When asked in May to choose someone she would like to emulate, the First Lady said, "I'd be Beyonce." And, Beyonce, too, has said Michelle is her role model.

The mutual backscratching has its roots in some wholesome mutual interests:

Beyonce has publicly supported the Obama campaign for years but went above and beyond this April by sending an open letter and video in support of the first lady. Citing Mrs. Obama as "the ultimate example of a truly strong African American woman," Beyonce describes the First Lady as a role model worth celebrating.

The dynamic duo also collaborated on a video entitled "Move Your Body," as part of a campaign designed to get kids fit through exercise. Beyonce even surprised students at Don Pedro Albizu campus in New York City last year by performing alongside them to the official "Lets Move! Flash Workout" for New York City.

Fundraising for the president clearly links her to the Obama brood, but Beyonce also has been active in fundraising for charities throughout her career.

Co-founder of the Survivor Foundation, an organization dedicated to helping victims of Katrina, she was also an ambassador for World Children’s Day in 2005 which takes place internationally every Nov. 20. In 2004, she teamed up with Jay-Z and raised $1 million for the Shawn Carter Foundation, a nonprofit that provides scholarships for low income students pursuing higher education.

In 2010, The Council of Fashion Designers of America named Beyonce the official face of their “Fashion For Haiti” T-shirt. All Proceeds were donated to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.

Don't forget to add female empowerment to the philanthropic star's repertoire, Beyonce recorded the song, "Run the world (Girls)," a track capable of serenading any young girl whether she’s an Obama or not.

Michelle Obama’s pre-game support of Beyonce’s ‘racist’ halftime – was she in on it?

February 8, 2016 | Tom Tillison |

Michelle Obama’s pre-game Super Bowl fluff interview revealed that she “cared deeply about the halftime show,” even coordinating her outfit for Beyonce’s approval.

President and Mrs. Obama sat down Sunday with “CBS This Morning” anchor Gayle King, a family friend, for what has become a tradition — a pre-Super Bowl interview.

Sunday’s performance was a far cry from the contentious exchange that occurred two years earlier with Fox News host Bill O’Reilly. In fact, it was nothing short of a love fest that threatened to ruin the day for serious sports fans.

Joined by the first lady for the first time, it was a given that the Obamas complained — about such things like bad Wi-Fi service at the White House — before discussing first dates and post-presidency plans, among other hard-hitting topics.

The first lady said she cared “deeply about the halftime game show,” likely because pal Beyoncé, one of this year’s halftime performers, was planning to get political in support of Black Lives Matter.

“I got dressed for the halftime show,” Michelle said. “I hope Beyoncé likes what I’ve got on.”



Mrs. Obama was dressed in all black, we assume in simpatico with the artist’s dancers who performed inwardrobes that resembled the Black Panthers. The only thing missing was a Black Panther beret. Furious Americans are expressing their disappointment and outrage that the Super Bowl halftime show was allowed to be hijacked for political purposes and given a racist, black power theme.

But the overall message for viewers was that when it comes to watching the big game, the Obama family is “like everybody else.”
In fact, Mrs. Obama jokingly tried to convince King that she cooked “all day” for Sunday’s game.

“Don’t let her tell stories, now,” the president chimed in with a laugh.

Not that it was necessary for the president to do so, as the image of Michelle Obama spending hours over a hot stove just doesn’t come to mind.

If the above exchange didn’t send the contents of one’s stomach back up in search of air, perhaps this lovely little game of “I love it when…” will do the trick:

The reaction on social media clearly shows that unlike an adoring media, most Americans are long over the allure of “hope and change” that Obama transfixed a nation with seven very long years ago.

Beyonce is disgusting - her performance choice should have been nixed by NFL. A presidential family endorsing it is doubly disgusting.

Wow, all the dancers are dressed like Black Panthers!

Planned anti-Beyonce demonstration outside NFL headquarters fizzles as no protestors show up, only supporters

Not a single lady — or any other anti-Beyonce demonstrator — turned out Tuesday for a promised protest against the chart-topping singer outside NFL headquarters.

A crowd backing Queen Bey instead buzzed outside the Park Ave. building, offering their support of Beyonce for her controversial Super Bowl halftime show.

Critics, including NYPD detective union head Michael Palladino and ex-mayor Rudolph Giuliani, ripped Beyonce’s provocative Feb. 7 performance of her new song “Formation.”

Giuliani charged the song and its choreography were “outrageous,” with dancers wearing outfits taken from the militant Black Panthers movement and Beyonce offering support for the Black Lives Matter movement.

She also raised a fist in a black power gesture reminiscent of the 1968 Olympic protest by black American athletes Tommy Smith and John Carlos.

Beyonce critics had promised a protest outside the league’s offices, but none turned out on a rainy Midtown morning. The Beyonce backers were out in vocal force, holding signs in a show of support.

One demonstrator held a poster listing the name of 16 black women who died in police-related incidents. “Say Her Name,” read the message atop the sign, playing off the hit Destiny’s Child single.

“Why are people afraid of black pride?” asked a handwritten question on a simple black and white sign held by another woman. A third protester, dressed in a leather Panthers-style jacket, held a sign announcing, “End police brutality and murder!”

The promised twin demonstrations were set for the same day that tickets went on sale for the North American leg of Beyonce’s upcoming world tour.

Anti-Beyonce demonstration a dud as no protestors show up - NY Daily News

Beyonce critics had promised a protest outside the league’s offices, but none turned out on a rainy Midtown morning. The Beyonce backers were out in vocal force, holding signs in a show of support.

How embarrassing. If you're not willing to walk the talk .... keep your mouth shut. Don't promise something you're not wiling to go through with! Beyonce was wrong and the NFL was wrong to support her NFL halftime program.

Beyonce's performance on Sunday's Superbowl that featured backing dancers dressed as members of armed civil rights group the Black Panthers, predictably amassed fierce criticism from some within minutes.

And the video of her new single Formation has since been dubbed a rallying cry for the Black Lives Matter movement - as well as a 'slap in the face' to the US police force.

Now, a rally is being staged outside the NFL building as support for #BoycottBeyonce steps up a gear.
