I think the donation to the protesters was less about them trying to hide it and more of them not feeling the need to broadcast it. They've been open about donating to black causes in the past (katrina,sean bell,etc).

Your whole MJ point kinda makes my case, cuz like I said he was well in his 30s when he started doing that, and Bey is still in her early 30s. She's probably now just be getting to the point of her life/career where she's no longer worried about the backlash she's inevitably going to receive for being more vocal on the issues. I'm sure she's seen what happened to MJ.

I agree they do have power, but besides donating and highlighting the issues in their music, what else should they be doing?

You're right in the sense of "they dont need to broadcast it."

But it also brings up the "what are you afraid of?" question... Are they afraid folks are gonna come out the woodworks wanting more? Are they afraid folks back at home in the hood gonna put their hands out in a "What about me?" fashion? Or are they afraid that their corporate sponsors and handlers are gonna disassociate with them?

I will say while you're right about MJ even despite the fact in his Off The Wall/Thriller days he was opening fighting with executives about getting black videos and music on those big networks at the time (even tho MTV wasn't what it would become til they aired Thriller)

When it comes to what else they should be doing? Well theres plenty of things. Build some black schools, fund black owned banks, save those failing HBCU's Dr. Umar Johnson was talking about a few months ago. Open up black film studios so we could get more movies. They could be the spark that get other celebs with power to join in. All you have to do is look on your IG feed, when Beyonce say jump: people jump.

Im assuming the latter, cuz I'm sure folks back home been asking for handouts since day 1. @bolded .

I agree 100% with the rest. I still do think asking that much of someone in their 20s is alot, I'm hoping at this point of her career she's willing to take the risk and this song/video was a good start.

This would have been a really dope song for somebody other than Bey, but since since it is Bey, the track is like "Meh." It's cool, it bumps, but I really have high expectations when it comes to Mrs. Carter, plus this video was a little too sweet for my tastes.
