just like you can't tell me that everybody in the republican party is straight.
just like you can't tell me that every politician is a slim ball.
just like you can't tell me that all chicken taste the same.
are you a yoga instructor? you go some serious reach from those stretches.

You made the statement the Black Panthers of the 60's were not racist I made no claim to any of the groups you listed you are trying to deflect the issue and failing.
You can't make that statement for a fact but you can say you believe it to be true, which doesn't make it factual.
Beyoncé references Black Panther Party at Super Bowl halftime show
And 99.9% of those that watched had no idea until 2 days later when it is pointed out to them.
Gimme a break with this outraged crowd in here. I forgot how bad it was since I've avoided the Everything Else section for years now. It's like Cheech (I'll give you one guess) showing up at a conservative retirement home to argue about political/social issues.
Might as well start talking about Beyonce's SHOCKING new music video while we're at it. OUTRAGEOUS. SHOOOOOCCKING, I tell's ya! Gimme a break.

So don't open the thread and post in it there your problem solved!
the point was that there is a few bad apples in every group's, with respect to their agenda.
were there some racist black panthers members? probably.
but just because there were a few doesn't take away from the overall message and the groups ideology.
MLK had a massive following. there were some racist people that followed him. does that make MLK racist as well?
there's some racist in the republican party. that doesn't make the republican party racist.
you're the one grasping for straws.
but at the end of the day, i'm not gonna be able to change yours or anybody elses mind.
you seem to be stuck thinking what beyonce did was super wrong and racist. whatever bro, if thats what helps you sleep at night.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

Yes, yes it was wrong was not the time or place for political agenda of any kind.
if there's no rule saying it's not, then what?
all you can do is be mad and act outrage. if you're so pissed off, make a petition, and get the signatures needed to ban political stuff from the SB halftime.
if you're not gonna take action, then have fun losing hair over nothing.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Nope, but you can't tell me for a fact the EVERY member of the Black Panthers of the 60's was not racist in the least little bit. If they were not why the BLACK in the name why not just PANTHERS.
Geez, probably because they were already segregated way before the political party was started. You're looking at an already segregated group, due to the racist policies of the United States pre-60's, which includes, but is not limited to: Slavery, Segregation, Jim Crow Laws, Blockbusting and other acts of Housing Discrimination. However, they weren't even racist(!) They worked with many other minority groups, including White Appalachians, and other white majority groups, including The Weathermen.
I think a better question is: Why were there no groups, ran by or alongside, white people, that emphasized community empowerment and support (The Black Panthers created free clinic programs, one of the first orgs to do it after The Brown Berets, the Hispanic org. They also did free breakfasts and dinners for their communities. Feeding many people who would have starved otherwise), the self defense of African Americans (Not everyone thought getting stomped on by KKK members was a good idea), and a reformation of our justice system (Something that's still being debated about today)? Is it because they're racist?
Of course not. Neither were the Panthers. Can we stop labeling everything as racist now?

Ahh I see so as long as there is no rule saying don't do it right or WRONG, it's OK to do got it. For someone who breaks the RULES by smoking pot you sure are a stickler for the rules.
I'm not mad I don't think it was right to do but in the end she made herself look foolish.
At one point in time there was no RULE about owning slaves either but we all know how wrong people were to do that...common sense.
you're outraged over choreography and a singer's political idea. think about that.

i didn't lose anything. but you taking this L in EE right now.

I'm willing to put money on this. When she was the Headliner one of her associate singers flipped the bird to the camera. She was still invited this. This is pretty minor and the NFL is desperately trying to reach out to women. The best way to do that is Bey. She's unstoppable. She'll probably be Bill Gates when she's 80.

Sorry. Just thrown off seeing this nonsense in the NFL Post-Season section. If I sniff anymore hot topics like Beyonce, Janet's Boob, or what Katie Perry wore, I'll be sure to steer clear.
We all know that all whites are racists and trying to hold down the black man and that all blacks are not racist and are just trying to be treated fairly.
It really is that simple. As clear as black and white.
Gotta admit I had no idea who she was when she came out... Thought she was lil Kim or someone... Personally thought she was awful but I don't typically care for halftime show in general
Had no idea she was paying homage to black panthers... Didn't find it racist when I watched it and still think it's overblown... If it was a political stunt then she got what she wanted because everyone is talking about it
i guess you can say they were united in the cause.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
The one thing that would have made this halftime show totally epic is if Beyonce had come up one side of the stage with her wannabe black panther dancers while Kid Rock was coming up the stairs on the other side of the stage in his confederate flag jacket... I would have paid money to see that.
This thread is hysterical. People can't possibly be truly offended by a SB halftime show, can they? Beyonce, offensive?. God bless message boards for their entertainment value!
it went from him posting the number of police killed by the black panthers, to all the races killed by police so it doesn't matter.
beyonce thanks you. regardless of what you claim on DT, i have no doubt in my mind you're all over FB or something crying about it.
thanks for giving her more publicity over absolutely nothing.
