Beyonce turns Super Bowl halftime into Black Panthers, Black Lives Matter, Malcom X rallying cry
February 8, 2016 | Michael Dorstewitz | 1 Comment | Print Article
 

Pop star Beyonce turned one of America’s greatest annual sporting events into a political propaganda statement with a halftime show honoring the controversial Black Lives Matter movement.

As she belted out her new song “Formation,” a celebrated anthem for black pride, dancers performed in wardrobe similar to members of the Black Panthers.

The dancers formed the letter “X” at one point and brought their arms in the air with clenched fists in a black power salute, leaving many to speculate a likely reference to the militant black civil rights leader Malcom X.

Mic.News senior staff writer Jamilah King tweeted”

 
Here’s Entertainment Tonight’s report of Beyonce’s show:
 

Take a look at some of the pictures of the performance from social media.

This is exactly why I didn't, and won't, watch the Super Commercial, Political Statement, Social Media Bowl.  Less than 1/2 the time of the TV coverage is actually game.

In other words, the game is an excuse for everything else - to make money, make statements, show off, for teims (professional players have put the I in team with all

their dances, twerking, and running down the field,  begging people to look at themselves, spiking the ball after they make a play), and get face time.  It is a truly

disgusting show of the "new" America; one the world can watch and say "how sick and egotistical."

I remember well the first game as I was a freshman in college.  It was a football game and we watched it in the dorm with our one and only TV.  The problem is networks has been "improving" it ever since, and have turned into a carnival, a farce.

It's sports as entertainment, or sports and entertainment combined.

Not a thing wrong with it. A little something for everyone.

It's the ONE event of the year when my entire family sits together and enjoys something that lasts longer than dinner.

We start early, cook, tell stories, knock down a few, watch the game, comment on the commercials, watch the half time, and sit there through the final gun, even when the game itself is not a good game.

Sometimes, things are what you make of them.

Packer/Chiefs.  35-10 Green Bay victory.

Sometimes I wonder about little kids today....how it appears to THEM...to see, for example a video of said game, and wonder if the players looked underwhelming...like OLD baseball film, with baseball gloves no larger than driving gloves...waddling around the bases on a HR trot, etc..

Digital video always looks current and never looks like your watching 'silent movies'.

Yeah, I tend to agree. I stopped watching the SB after Joe Montana retired from the game. Half-time shows can be dreadful. With Beyoncé it appears the tradition continues.

I watch the football.  Never watch the halftime stuff.   Works very well.

Rep. King Bashes Beyonce’s Super Bowl Performance: It Was ‘Pro-Black Panther And Anti-Cop’

Posted By Kaitlan Collins On 5:03 PM 02/08/2016 In | No Comments

Rep. Peter King criticized Beyonce’s Super Bowl performance Sunday night because he said it was “pro-Black Panther and anti-cop.”

King called out the singer in a lengthy Facebook post on Monday.

“The mainstream media’s acceptance of her pro-Black Panther and anti-cop video ‘Formation’ and her Super Bowl appearance is just one more example of how acceptable it has become to be anti-police when it is the men and women in blue who put their lives on the line for all of us and deserve our strong support,” King wrote. (RELATED: Eddie Griffin: ‘Cosby Rape Accusations Are Part Of Conspiracy To Bring Down Successful Black Men’)

“Michael Brown was a criminal who had robbed a convenience store and then attempted to kill Police Officer Darren Wilson,” he continued.

“Michael Brown never raised his hands above his head and never tried to surrender. He was killed in self-defense by Officer Wilson after Brown first attempted to take the officer’s weapon away and then charged at him.”

“Yet the big lie continues by Black Lives Matter, by pandering politicians and now by Beyonce, who gets star billing at the Super Bowl,” King added. (VIDEO: Rihanna’s New Video So Shocking It Has A Viewer Discretion Label)

“Maybe it’s because I’ve attended too many police funerals and because my father proudly served in the NYPD for more than 30 years but I strongly believe that this false and irresponsible narrative of police violence premised on lies and distortion endangers police officer lives.”

Beyonce performed her newest song “Formation” Sunday night.

In the music video for the song, a small child in a black hoodie stands in front of a line of officers before the words “Stop shooting us” flash across the screen. (RELATED: Will Beyonce Perform This Song About ‘Black Lives Matter’ At The Super Bowl?)

The part-socialist, part-black nationalist Black Panther Party is headline news again, thanks to Beyonce’s Super Bowl 50 halftime show performance of her song “Formation,”–“a big wet kiss to Black Lives Matter” that pays tribute to the 1960s militant group.

In the fall of 1966, the Black Panther Party was founded by left-wing militants Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale. Newton, like Seale, had several run-ins with police. He was convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison for the shooting death of an Oakland police officer. Publicity around his arrest and the popularity of “Free Newton” propaganda provided the public pressure that led to his release.

Seale and seven others (now known as the Chicago Seven) were arrested at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Seale was sentenced to four years in prison for contempt of court. He now lives and works with young political activists in Oakland, California.

Below are seven facts about the Black Panther Party:

1. The Black Panther Party’s “Platform and Program” called for guaranteed housing, income, and jobs for black people:

    We want full employment for our people.

        We believe that the federal government is responsible and obligated to give every man employment or a guaranteed income. We believe that if the white American businessmen will not give full employment, then the means of production should be taken from the businessmen and placed in the community so that the people of the community can organize and employ all of its people and give a high standard of living.

    We want an end to the robbery by the white man of our Black Community.

        We believe that this racist government has robbed us and now we are demanding the overdue debt of forty acres and two mules. Forty acres and two mules was promised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor and mass murder of black people. We will accept the payment as currency which will be distributed to our many communities. The Germans are now aiding the Jews in Israel for the genocide of the Jewish people. The Germans murdered six million Jews. The American racist has taken part in the slaughter of over twenty million black people; therefore, we feel that this is a modest demand that we make.

    We want decent housing, fit for shelter of human beings.

        We believe that if the white landlords will not give decent housing to our black community, then the housing and the land should be made into cooperatives so that our community, with government aid, can build and make decent housing for its people.

2. The Black Panther Party was against capitalism and supported socialism:

“We have two evils to fight, capitalism and racism. We must destroy both racism and capitalism,” said Black Panther Party founder Huey P. Newton.

“We do not fight racism with racism. We fight racism with solidarity. We do not fight exploitative capitalism with Black capitalism. We fight capitalism with basic socialism. And we do not fight imperialism with more imperialism. We fight imperialism with proletarian internationalism,” wrote Black Panther Party founder Bobby Seale in his biography Seize the Time: The Story of the Black Panther Party and Huey P. Newton.

3. The Black Panther Party wanted “all black men to be exempt from military service”:

    We believe that Black people should not be forced to fight in the military service to defend a racist government that does not protect us. We will not fight and kill other people of color in the world who, like black people, are being victimized by the white racist government of America. We will protect ourselves from the force and violence of the racist police and the racist military, by whatever means necessary.

Rule number six of the “Rules of the Black Panther Party” states, “No party member can join any other army force, other than the Black Liberation Army.”

4. The Black Panther Party supported the Second Amendment as a means to “end police brutality in our black community”:

    We believe we can end police brutality in our black community by organizing black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We therefore believe that all black people should arm themselves for self defense.

5. The Black Panther Party called for “freedom for all black men held in federal, state, county and city prisons and jails.”

6. In its “Ten-Point Program,” The Black Panther Party sought to overthrow the U.S. government.

7. The Black Panther Party implored its members not to “ill-treat” those whom they “take captive.”

...but not a peep about the overtly racist Beyoncé insult to good Americans, black and white, everywhere.

Indeed. Judging by the media literati,  Beyoncé's performance was the highlight of the night. I'm not kidding.

Look, I know Coldplay isn't exactly the kind of power-pop show most people want from the Super Bowl halftime, but the fact that so many in the media instinctively praised that mish-mash of racist drivel, open defiance and tacky twerking simply an illustration of collusion.

Let me help you guys out.  I agree 100%, man, this is a LOUSY country for you blacks, nothing but chit ever since we brought you over here 200+ years ago.  So you are 100% right, we owe big time, so much so that 40 acres and 2 mules  (which by the way, is HARD WORK!) is not fair enough.


I have talked to all my WHITEY cracker friends and we think the best thing we can do for the Blacks is give you a one way ticket to a better life somewhere else outside of this racist, capitalist country.  Leave your Drivers License, passport and citizenship at the African Airlines gate and grab the next plane hot and smoking East bound and down.  The seats are comfy, KFC is catering and you are on the way to the land of milk and honey, the promised land and you can hip hop all you want and don't call us, we will call you...

It was much worse than a Black Lives matter performance - it was in celebration of 50 years of the Black Panthers.

Anchor GOES OFF on racist Beyonce: What about little white girls? You and your ex-drug dealer husband are pathetic
February 11, 2016 | Michael Dorstewitz 
 

The Blaze anchor Tomi Lahren eviscerated pop singer Beyoncé‘s Super Bowl halftime show honoring the Black Lives Matter movement, Malcolm X and the Black Panthers “as a way to advance the notion that black lives matter more.”

She said that it “has nothing to do with equality,” and it’s stunts like this that put America in a place that “can’t heal.”

She noted that the Black Panthers criticized the non-violent movement promoted by the late Martin Luther King Jr.
ADVERTISING

“They committed violence instead,” Lahren said.

She also criticized Beyoncé’s use of the Super Bowl to make her highly charged message.

“A game that brings Americans of every color, background and political party together. A game where black fans cheer next to white fans,” she said.

“What is the political message here? What is it they are trying to convey here? A salute to what? A group that used violence and intimidation to advance not racial equality, but an overthrow of white domination?”

Fahren wasn’t alone in her disgust of the halftime show.

From the moment the show aired, social media lit up eviscerating the pop star.

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, an African-American, blasted it as being racist, and former Mayor Rudi Giuliani scorned Beyoncé’s anti-police message, especially because she was given a police escort to the stadium.

One person of note that supported the show was first lady Michelle Obama.

Watch the clip via The Blaze.

And for the hopelessly naive.....

Beyonce and her husband are very close to Barack and Michelle Obama.  You can be sure the Obamas had a hand in the theme chosen for the Halftime Show.

Wish that all Caucasians would boycott attending stadium games next season.   Let's see if Obama's economy can fill the stadiums with people of color. 

And boycott all NFL gameday sponsors and apparel sponsors.

Next SuperBowl, they'll be showing a Bambi Cartoon at halftime and feature Andre Bocelli.
