Beyoncé is more real than Israel!!!!! FREE PALESTINE!

The Stranger Truth
Ok, so PAUSE first off, I couldn’t get an interview, and here’s why. I asked this girl, twice now, and won’t ever again if I could interview her and…
See now the first time, I just thought it was just a miscommunication because she did say YES. I took pics of her too for the occasion because it was a show she was performing at and she agreed to let me take pics of her!!!!
So, ok I let it go. I saw her again at a mic and I just straight up asked her and INSTEAD of just saying no like a sane human being she was being all weird, staring, saying ok sure but didn’t answer me when it said I couldn’t message her on IG to her face and she just stares at me. DUMB BITCH. I’m sorry but that annoyed me so badly…like girl you grown just say NO!!!! I hate fake weirdos like them.
But I’ll regress. Now let’s get to the title.
Beyoncé Renaissance concert photo I went to last summer.
I don’t like country but I love Beyoncé
Now, Beyoncé, Beyoncé, Beyoncé. What ELSE could I say about her that no one else has???
The woman has won 32 Grammies, she has the most Grammies in HISTORY!!!! Been in the game for 27 YEARS!!! DOMINATING THE CHARTS SINCE SHE WAS 16 YEARS OLD!!! From her time in Destiny’s Child to being a solo artist with her first solo album, Dangerously in Love, debuting at number 1 in 2003. To her surprise COUNTRY singles, Texas Hold ‘Em and 16 Carriages, debuting on Super Bowl Sunday (aka 2 days ago as of 02/13/24), already topped the iTunes chart at number 4 and 6. All while just getting off one of the highest-grossing tours of all time, Renaissance. She is a mother of 3 and married to HOV aka Jay-Z. AND SHE HAS DONE SO MUCH MORE!!! LIKE SO MUCH!!!! Just Google it, hell I’ll Google it for you!
So her announcement of dropping a country album was not super shocking in my opinion because well she is from Texas and has never hidden that also she’s Beyoncé! That woman can do whatever she wants and it’ll be amazing, she doesn’t even know what half-ass means! Also, there was a rumor almost two years ago that Renaissance is a 3 part project, first act House, second act Country, and third Rock; all genres that black people created yet have somehow become excluded from. Instead of being put inside a box, the R&B and hip-hop genre. Both are amazing genres but Beyoncé and Rihanna are considered R&B artists and not just simply pop artists. Sure they have R&B songs but Beyoncé has done pop since her Destiny’s Child days and Rihanna, Pon De Replay, We Found Love, Only Girl, You Da One and so many more.
So when I saw this tweet from Variety, I was very much offended because this is very blatant racism but also not surprised…country influences my ass IT IS COUNTRY!!!
I took this screenshot when I saw it on the 12th.
So what does Israel have to do with this?
Wait, I’m getting there.
So all this being said I am a die-hard Beyoncé fan! But it does feel weird to enjoy and consume things while a genocide is going on not even just in Palestine but the Congo, Sudan, Haiti, and more. What’s even more anxious inducing is that I still have to fight for my rights, hell even Beyoncé has too, while we fight for other people’s rights all over the world. All have in common being somehow oppressed by the hands of white supremacy.
Beyoncé has not said anything about what’s going on in Palestine but to be fair many others haven’t either like another huge pop star, Taylor Swift, she has not said a single thing either. And I get it, they’re musicians, pop stars, we don’t look at them for political advice. But just because they don’t have to doesn’t mean they shouldn’t. It doesn’t mean it’s not kind of fucked up that two people who yes also face oppression but at the same time are two of the biggest stars in the world right now haven’t said a single thing about something the entire planet is talking about right now.
Sunday
During us watching Usher channel his inner Teddy Pendergrass and Michael Jackson, as the Chiefs won (lord that name is racist as fuck) Temu had 3 Super Bowl commercials and Beyoncé dropped new music and an album; children were murdered.
In Rafah, a city located south-west of Gaza, is filled with 1.3 million displaced Palestinians. Rafah is the most densely populated area on earth with 22,000+ people a km because Israel forced Palestinians to flee from northern and central Gaza with non-stop attacks. Rafha is their last “safe zone”.
At 2 a.m. Gaza time, 67+ people were killed, mostly children, by massive Israeli bombardment they targeted homes and several mosques. Israel even aired a Super Bowl commercial while all this was happening. They purposely waited for Americans to be distracted just like over the holiday season that just passed.
This is extremely sad and I don’t what to do, the future seems bleak for humanity, we’re just regressing. All I do know is that the people suffering right now whether they're from Palestine or the Congo, they don’t want us to shut up, don’t forget them, use our voices. So the least I can do is make a blog post.
