 Sorely lacking beauty.

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.

  1. I read she sang some anti-White song. Don't know - wouldn't
    listen to such. Trashy is as trashy does.

  2. I did watch it. Honestly, I couldn't understand a single word and of the singers. Her protest was a complete failure on me. Whatever she was singing about, I don't care.
