[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Let me take a moment to REITERATE my point to all of y'all with severe reading comprehension issues.

I like Beyonce. I have probably heard every song she and DC have released. I even jammed out to the DC song she did back with Silkk the Shocker ( waaaay back in the day - yes, I'm a OLDER person lol). They played that on BET only when Destiny's Child were still suffering in obscurity. I still have my The Writing's on the Wall and B'Day CDs.

So I do not begrudge Beyonce her more salicious material at all. I know her songs. I probably know all the lyrics. I have danced to Freekum Dress more times than I can count.

My ISSUE with her is that she created a musical event to bring awareness and recognition to HBCUs. It's a laudable goal. A respectable one. She stated that HBCUs were important to her and her family. Same with me. I identified with her sentiment and once I heard about her documentary, I was excited. I wanted to share it with my daughter who will be looking into colleges in the future.

I was ALSO thrilled that an AA woman was directing and writing the docufilm.

So when we got the popcorn, settled in to watch, and I couldn't help but be shocked when she sang THOSE songs. Chose to use the N word and say "bitch" repeatedy, when she has DOZENs if not HUNDREDS of other songs she had written (or could have written) that have positive and empowering messages of hope and pride.

I didn't even share how shocked I was when she came out in the latex S&M outfit that looked straight out of a PORNO.

So that's it. My final statement on this. I like Beyonce but expected better. Hopefully her future Netflix films are better.

[/quote] I respect your opinion, I don't agree but I respect it.  But I'm not sure what your beef with Beyonce is.  You say you like her and know her music yet you were shocked and caught off guard when she performed her more current hit songs?  You do know about Coachella, right? I'm not asking in a snarky way, my sister in law hadn't heard of it before beyonce's performance.  It's a HUGE platform and her performance was highly anticipated. It's a no brainer that she would be performing her newer more current songs.  And to your other part about not wanting to expose our dd to these type of lyrics and costuming.  Beyonce has been doing this gig for many years now.  Barely dressed and singing very bold aggressive lyrics, I'm assuming as someoe who likes her you are aware of this. She never strays from her brand. If only you had thought to check the ratings, if nothing else gave you an inkling of what to expect, the MA rating would have.[/quote]
