Is Beyonce's New Video "Formation" too Politically Charge? - See for Yourself



With an expected stellar appearance at Super Bowl 50 from the world's best living performer, Beyonceshe has taken an opportunity use her celebrity to address America's social injusitice and hate made towards her family.



Beyonce's new video Formation alludes to the city of New Orlean's history—from visuals that conjure the free Creole women to Hurricane Katrina and her daughter.  The video opens with the clip features shots of Queen B lying on top of a sinking New Orleans police cruiser as well as a graffiti’d wall that says, “Stop shooting us.”



There’s also a scene of a black child in a hoodie dancing in front of a line of police officers in riot gear. At one point a man holds up a newspaper called “The Truth” with an image of Martin Luther King Jr. on the front page captioned, “More than a dreamer.” Blue Ivy Carter, Beyonce’s daughter, also appears in the video.


The video is viewable for now. so click on it below.  You know the tidal and Youtube war will have the video gone in a minute.  I never understand why you have to pay for what used to be free?  To me the social media is free advertising by fans that help drive demand for consumers to make purchase.
