King Beyoncé’s new film takes you on a journey of Black art, music, history and fashion...
The voyage feels even more special during the current state of the world, as the Black experience has been looked at closely in the wake of the many deaths of Black people, and the Black Lives Matter movement that continues to protest racism and inequality. And for those of us who have been stuck in place for months because of the coronavirus pandemic, the voyage and escapism are welcomed.
Beyoncé continues to dig deep into her roots and share her discovery with the world, like she did on the sweet masterpiece “Lemonade.” Black pride is the center of the film, with African artists strongly represented...
“When it’s all said and done, I don’t even know my own native tongue. And if I can’t speak myself, I can’t think myself. And if I can’t think myself, I can’t be myself. And if I can’t be myself, I will never know me,” a man says. “So Uncle Sam, tell me this, if I will never know me, how can you?”
Powerful.
“We have always been wonderful. I see us reflected in the world’s most heavenly things. Black is king. We were beauty before they knew what beauty was.”
That leads into “Brown Skin Girl,” as Naomi Campbell, Lupita Nyong’o and Kelly Rowland — queens that Beyoncé name-drops on the song — make appearances alongside other black and brown women and girls in a deep celebration of melanin, diversity and sisterhood. Beyoncé singing “because you’re beautiful,” face-to-face with Rowland, could induce tears.
“Black Is King” also highlights music’s royal family: The Carters.
“Black Parade” plays as the credits scroll at the end of “Black Is King,” and the song title could be the best way to describe the film: a procession into Beyoncé’s black liberation.
I'm not even racist but is anybody getting sick of these fucking black people and the chips on their shoulders? So what your people didn't have some great history.. you're your own person stop being such a fucking victim 24/7 its disgusting.

Serious question to burgers - do niggers generally even know they weren't snatched from the bush by white people and other blacks sold them?
How does nobody call this out? America is fucking sick.

cunt can barely speak English, let alone the clicks and grunts of the lower order primates it's descended from
Austin Bell
Very tired of black Americans acting like they have any connection to continental African culture
Jace Lee
the niggers with this massive inferiority complex the SCREAM so loudly will never be equal
Isaac Rogers
not everyone is of equal capacity user, some people just want to take things until they feel their material and cultural possessions are sufficient to fill the vacuum inside them.
an incredibly similar thing happens to foreigners who live in asian countries for many years, after failing to integrate into the society they try to reshape it to make themselves more comfortable. it's very hard for african people to assimilate to non-african civilization because the project is not an african one, hundreds of generations of non-african people created cuisine, music, art, poetry, literature, architecture, religious movements and 'ages' of being which are completely alien to the non-indigenous people.
imagine if i asked you to teach your children chinese and raise them to be chinese. it would be a sick joke for chinese people and for yourself and it would confuse and infuriate your children who will eventually face some kind of psychotic self-loathing episode. they will be neo-chinese, superficially integrated into the way of life of the modern chinese, but completely alien in a very subtle and almost imperceptible way.
barrack obama wrote extensively about this in his autobiography regarding his trip back to kenya and the time he spent there and how he felt being surrounded by the kenyan people, their poverty, their misery but the brotherhood he felt being home despite all of the hardships. black people will never feel welcomed in america until america ceases to be a european melting pot and becomes a proper diaspora nation (not just for european jews). this typically happens as a republic shifts into an empire, and then all of it's citizens believe in the empire and abandon their race religion and creed for the greater glory of conquering the world.
america is experiencing the last death throes of its republic and the birth of it's empire, as it must combat the rising chinese superpower.

I guess it serves a purpose for them to create some sort of mythology for themselves, from which they could then build a positive identity. It wouldn't even be a problem that they're delusional if they were isolated in their own communities, but americans just have to take their delusions and put it on center stage while pretending it's a genius piece of art.

>black fashion Wearing european designer brands is somehow considered “black fashion”? >”b-but us nigs made it cool!” NO, wearing a designer a belt on your sagging pants and gucci sneakers isn’t /fa/

Go somewhere else chuds
>im not even racist
Sure youre not
They dont have connection to continental american culture except via slavery, hence chip on shoulder. They have to creat culture
Neither will the ones who dont do this, they L always be treat as less than equals and theyll always resent that
They were isolated, then gentrification and over policing and economic isolation occurred where they were basically subject to us laws, but never a benefitiary of the laws.
>america is experiencing the last death throes of its republic
Havent heard that before
Samuel Martinez
>Neither will the ones who dont do this, they >L always be treat as less than equals and theyll always resent that
Wrong, tons of black americans who're just normal and not seething wakandans

Zig Forums: >I HATE HOW BLACK PEOPLE FORCE THEMSELVES INTO OUR FILMS >WHY CAN'T BLACK PEOPLE JUST MAKE THEIR OWN MOVIES Beyonce >I'm making my own film for Black people Zig Forums: >NOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T DO THAT
First of all, I'm not a Liberal, I'm a progressive. Second of all, the Zig Forums incels in this thread are only critizing Beyonce's film because they hate Black poeple, wish isn't a valid criticisim.
Lincoln Lopez
If ANYONE makes a movie called "White is King" it's called racist before its even a movie... why is it ok for blaks?
Lincoln Wood
You mean it's not a massive We Wuz Kangs ego trip?
>>I'm not a Liberal, I'm a progressive
These are different. REALLLY, trust me.
Michael Mitchell
It sounds like beat poetry, which sucks from any race
Colton Russell
>That leads into “Brown Skin Girl,” as Naomi Campbell, Lupita Nyong’o and Kelly Rowland those 3 are Dark Skins, opposed to BeyDogs Light Skinness. the failure of her work to address the Light v Dark battle of the blacks means her work is without true value.
Mason Cruz

>When it’s all said and done, I don’t even know my own native tongue. Your American, it’s Americanised English you fucking moron. I truly loath this insufferable Racist cunt And her nigger husband.
Joseph Martin
African languages don’t use grunts m8. And the clicking is a Khoisan/Nguni thing.
Ian Sanchez
I think she means the colourful shit the Africans wear but still that was first designed and made in Holland.
