OMG! Where do I start??? OK let's see... Uhm... She is SMART!!! She is beautiful! She is genuine. But back to smart. A smart woman stirs fear in men. This is why we are considered second class around the world. No matter your ethnicity, gender decides your status in life. Then skin color.
Now here we have a beautiful black woman who figured how to use her gender to her advantage. For those of you old enough to remember Charo, let's just say she was the trailblazer. Then lets acknowledge Tina Turner. Tina left the blueprint for Beyoncé when she walked out on Ike.
For centuries women were and still are used as sexual objects. Wars have been fought over women. We have and continue to be raped and mutilated throughout the world. And in 2016 a woman is still struggling to become President of these United States.
So here we are throwing stones at a woman situated to become only the second black female billionaire in America. She is a wife, mother and a daughter. Now lean in... Pay attention... and get in FORMATION! That's right! This woman took a gamble and placed it all on the line to get the ear of HER people! Guess what people! FORMATION was brilliantly penned as a metaphorical battle cry to alarm the black female. The lyrics were meant for millennials to take stock of their surroundings and prepare to protect what is theirs.
Yes, I love Beyoncé. I may very well be the oldest member of her beehive. She is a creative genius who has the power to affect a nation with a song!
In closing, I'd like to reflect on my perspective of Bey standing there dressed in black and holding up two middle fingers uttering the words Red Lobster. Yaaaas... If you coming for my people you'd better come HARD! Cause after all is said and done... I'll treat you to a one star meal just to let you know... YOU CANT BREAK MY SPIRIT!
My diamond - flawless - my rock - flawless
Boom!
