No, you're absolutely spot on. The most dangerous propaganda is the kind that Beyonce does. There's a lot of ways to take it, but when you put it together *with the whole* it's very clearly propaganda.
Also, is Bey meticulous or not? Does she consider every detail or not? Cause people like to take away her agency when it makes them uncomfortable too. I love the music, but it's just that. Bey doesn't speak for me, and I *AM* a Black Southerner. I lived in NYC for a decade and experienced the elitism first hand.
+10000 to all of this Madison. Appreciate this "Lunch n Learn" lol 💜
As an arab southerner the flag part was actually so cringy to me. The flag??? The flag? The American flag? Like I guess if that's what yall want. But they cannot convince me she was "subverting" the flag during the Olympic campaign with team USA.
This is exactly how I feel. Like she is a generational Talent. full stop. But whatever they are saying she is doing politically is not subversive enough for me.
I haven't said a lot on Tik Tok cause I don't think it's my place, but have been reposting videos from people who I think are sharing valuable and somewhat generalizable information. But anyway, I am mixed (Filipino and white), and my boyfriend is Palestinian American and this discourse has just been a time. Seeing so much biracial discourse and MORE discussion about leftists vs liberals, the election results, etc. is certainly not what I was expecting the first part of 2025 to have in store for us.

She had me hella fooled up until about two or three years ago. The talent fine catchy songs whatever but I’m not ok with this anymore.
