Unapologetic.

Okay so, let's do this because I could seriously sit here and go off about this video all day long. Beyoncè's 'Formation' video is everything. I don't even know what I like most.  Is it the fact that she silence the naysayers about the Illuminati bullshit? I like that. Simply on the strength that she's conveying that as a black celebrity, devil worshipping is not the way she got her success.  I don't know why the common consensus is anyone with color to their skin that has made a life for themselves in a major way has to be doing something extra. Other than just freaking working hard, being diligent as well as precise about every decision that they make. I'm glad she said that, definitely. Let's talk about how HARD she  represented the Black Lives Matter Movement.  Please can we talk about that? That was so imperative. Ingenious too, because one can't avoid the movement if it's smack dab in front of their face  a Beyoncè video. Ain't no "All Lives Matter" bih!!  Only some do, to societal standards ,  and none of those lives are black. Let's talk about her background dancers decked out in Black Panther leather circa 1970. Let's talk about how she was just so powerful and gorgeous in every frame just oozing and advocating for that female sexual agency.  For all the hoteps ready to stir, SIT YOUR ASS DOWN. SILENTLY. I'm so excited, I can sit here and go on and on.  Thank goodness, she finally told people to shut the hell up about Blue Ivy's hair. She likes her baby's hair with baby hair and afros, and there' s nothing you could do about it because of black girl magic. I literally exploded with pride. Lets keep it real, the fact that this beat is so hard and ratchet and danceable and everything just black and beautiful, makes it SOOOO MUCH MORE than a song. This is an ANTHEM. I am bursting at the seams about it. I will be listening to this song more than once a day,  every single day. Beyonce just smacked the world in the face with blackness. On such a grand beautiful scale, on such a large basis. She took her platform and made it as black and as beautiful as it can be. Let us please relish in the fact that she pulled the protective coating off of the fact that New Orleans is still destroyed by Hurricane Katrina after over a decade's time.  Let's focus on that. She took so many important issues that I love to run my mouth and move my fingers about every day and put them smack dab in one video.  On top of that, not only does she sit and list how fabulous black people and black women are she made it known that she doesn't want us to stop being fabulous. She wants us to get in Formation and be fabulous  and fearless, because of or in spite of all the shit that we have to go through every single day. Beyoncé!! Yes, Beyoncè!! You know why because she keeps hot sauce in her bag. Swag. You can't tell me that this is not one of the greatest things ever to even exist. Beyoncé is our voice right now, and when I say our, I mean black people. She is speaking for us,finally someone who has some clout, someone who has some power, someone who has some influence on a serious level is speaking for us.  That's why my brain is exploding right now ,this is the most amazing thing. I could not be more proud.  If you haven't heard the song or seen the video, you need to watch this video. Not even only if you're black either. If you're not black you need to watch this video and understand what is unfolding in front of you. Black pride. Black power. Black awareness. Black strength. Recognize it and respect it.  See it. We do exist. We are still here. I've been trying to get people to be in formation for a long time. I've been here in my arrogance and my passion and my blackness, with my big nose, and my happy black hair waiting for someone to stand up and advocate for sometime. Someone with a voice that's bigger than mine I'm so happy right now. Beyoncè made a song, with a video  said that black people are beautiful in all our strength and we matter. She's right, and I'm not sorry she got the message out.
