Beyoncé and racism is always such an interesting topic. It depends on the side you’re viewing it from. It’s complicated. She drops a Black empowerment song: Black community: “We’re tired of this Black empowerment music, Mufasa jams, drag queen music.” A non-Black person dances, covers, or appreciates the music: Black community: “This isn’t for them. Why are there white people at Club Renaissance? Why are they at Club Cowboy Carter? Do they even understand the theme of the music? We can’t have anything.” A song you said you didn’t hear, an event you didn’t attend. You’re mad that non-Black people are appreciating it? So what would you rather? Beyoncé drops music reclaiming Black genres that were whitewashed: Black community: “She’s so performative. She only cares about money. She’s using the Black community to stay relevant. I’m not streaming that.” Non-Black person: “That album healed me. I learned so much history. I’m writing an essay about it.” Black community: “This isn’t for y’all. Stay out of Black people’s business.” So why are you mad they’re appreciating music you don’t even want to support? Beyoncé releases Cécred: Black community: “She’s such a capitalist. Another cash grab. It’ll pack up in three months. We need to talk about consumerism.” White person: “Cécred is the truth. It’s the best hair care line I’ve used in years. Beyoncé did her thing.” Black community: “We can’t have nothing. It’s for Black hair. Stay out of our business.” So what’s the issue? I don’t remember Beyoncé ever saying Cécred was only for Black hair. Beyoncé drops merch: Black community: “Now’s not the time. With everything going on, she’s greedy. Another waste for the planet. She and her husband only care about money.” White person: “I love the merch. I bought five.” Black person: “Buying merch you don’t even understand the theme of? Imagine a white person wearing Cowboy Carter. I’m sick.” So why are you mad they bought merch you weren’t going to buy anyway? In conclusion, y’all don’t support Beyoncé but still want to gatekeep her products from those who do. Deep down, it’s not about race or art. You just want her to flop. Her success makes you angry, so you hide behind whatever pseudo-puritanical narrative is trending that year. And that brings me back to my earlier point- how can we even discuss racism around Beyoncé when some of the people in her own community are at the forefront of the hate she gets? And to be clear, this isn’t me excusing racism from white people, and it’s not me saying every Black person does this. But some of y’all will say it is.

Black American says something has to change in America with ‘Black culture’ “I'm Black and I have Black fatigue — You cannot call a pattern of facts, racism and stereotype. Stereotypes all come from a truth” “Black Americans — we need to have a talk. You know, it comes to a point where supporting and defending your community just becomes so exhausting that you feel this frustration, and you start to understand why people have the Black fatigue that they talk about — Guess what? I'm Black and I have Black fatigue” “I am tired of the wrong type of people in our community, because let me preface this, this is not all Black people. This is not. You have people over here making life miserable for other fellow Americans because you have no manners, you have no standards, you have no morals. I don't care how you were brought up. If you were raised in the hood, I don't care. Having character and manners will always take you far” “You cannot call a pattern of facts, racism and stereotype. Stereotypes all come from a truth. What a concept” For those that don’t know what “Black fatigue” is here’s a description “‘Black fatigue’ describes frustration or exhaustion with negative behaviors stereotypically associated with some segments of Black culture — such as “ghetto,” “ratchet,” entitled, or victimhood-oriented attitudes, crime, or public disruptions” This woman has incredible self awareness and she’s right, it’s not all black people She’s not trying to offend anyone, she’s asking for accountability and for self introspection. Things can change and get better but you have to accept there is a problem and work to do better
