Beyoncé Renaissance Film, Selective Activism & Outrage

I think a lot of the disappointment comes because (whether anyone cares to admit it) Beyoncé has been able to make a considerable profit and critical acclaim by aligning her latest projects with marginalised groups and political movements. We don’t see all that she does to empower people systematically and financially outside of what she lets us see which is more than reasonable. However, it does often mean that when we see her vouching for the worth of disenfranchised people, it is often attached to a massive payday for her. There lies contradiction in sporting the attire of the Black Panthers whilst being a billionaire, as is there contradiction with releasing an album dedicated to the glory of African culture and music and later being an ambassador for Tiffany whilst sporting a blood diamond in your campaign. I am a huge fan of Beyoncé and her work and work ethic and willingness to shine light on marginalised groups. However, we would be kidding ourselves if we were to say that it doesn’t serve her to do so. Also we would be kidding ourselves by ignoring that by attaching her public expressions of solidarity with performance it starts to look performative. In short, I think she is getting so much heat because people don’t want advocacy to be commodified by people in positions of power. Yes, she is undoubtedly getting more heat because she is a black woman. However, Beyoncé opened herself up to this critique when she invoked the imagery of activism for self gain.

You said all the things! I don’t really have anything to add right now because I’m absorbing what you said with my thoughts to come to a new place of thought. Plus, I feel similar to what you said. What I love about listening to your thoughts is that you always expand our thoughts without pressing the triggered button every sentence like a lot of people that speak on these issues. You open the space for the topic and and you don’t force the upset or disappointment— you simply open the floor for those who want to step into the circle of thought and you do it with this graceful hospitality— whether we’re getting down to the gritty subject of politics, or the breakdown and review of the film. I’d say the Renaissance film is a 9.5 for me, because I’m manifesting an extended version when it hits streaming. Thank you for posting this because it was helpful and comforting to know that we share similar and same opinions and for being a whole damn joy and vibe.
