Ariel Kohane, the only anti-Beyonce protester visible an hour into the protest was quickly surrounded by a rowdy group of self-described Black Lives Matter counter-protesters who hurled insults at him, suggesting he was in favor of police officers shooting innocent black people. But the performance sparked criticism from some conservative corners and a protest against Beyonce was announced shortly after.
A planned NY protest against Beyonce in response to her controversial Super Bowl performance has turned out to be a flop after fans of the R&B singer came out in droves to support the music star.
The invite read: “Are you offended as an American that Beyonce pulled her race-baiting stunt at the Super Bowl?“.
According to the organisers of the event, this was a “slap in the face to law enforcement”.
“Let’s tell the National Football League we don’t want hate speech & racism at the Super Bowl ever again”.
But it appears that nearly no-one identifies with their feelings about the performance after only two men and one woman were spotted demonstrating outside. It’s a business day.
An anti-Beyonce protest was promptly organised to coincide with the release of tickets to her upcoming tour, however it seems there wasn’t much of a turn out.
Unless you’ve been buried inside a cave these past couple of weeks, you won’t have failed to notice the general furore and outrage from a lot of people who are hella-upset with Beyoncé’s latest single Formation which premiered at the 2016 Superbowl. Being black isn’t something you can shake-off and shrug on when it’s convenient, and er, last time we checked, Bey has always been a black singer. “Even lunch time – 12 p.m., 1 p.m”. And I pray for them because I worry for them, especially my black cop friends.
