Like are you reading what you’re saying?? Ignore them. People here made their mind up about her back when Lemonade was getting its 5 star reviews and they decided enough was enough I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill.

HermesGr 679 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Yeah sure. Let’s rent the biggest museum on Europe in France cause we are upper class. The woman is totally full of herself with every f*cking opportunity. If u can’t see it it’s fine! I think it’s very clear for years for many people. It’s not about races or talent everything, it’s about mentality. But we can agree that we disagree about her obviously Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sales of this are going to charity. She isn't benefitting from it. Maybe "clout" but she's already got enough of that so... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't relate and don't like it, then I'm betting the song wasn't FOR you. Some of y'all #ALMdaily members aren't getting that, and it's making y'all look goofy. Unfortunate 😂 Even if the song isn't for us, we should still be able to judge the song and decide if we like it or not. Example: "To be Young, Gifted, and Black" by Nina Simone is NOT for my demographic but it's still an incredible song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOUBLE STANDARTS AGAIN The reverse doesn't work because whites were never oppressed by blacks. These kind of songs are not saying "blacks are better than whites". The idea is more "we've been crapped on for so long, but we have good qualities TOO" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT: The song goes off and I'm so glad she's supporting all those black businesses and not just financially but giving them a bunch of promo too. Yet everyone is asking why she wasn't at a protest..... No one reads they just run in here to hate on Beyoncé. I literally asked one simple question without any undertone and yet you got so offended by it you decided to try me, yikes. I guess some of us just like to read.
