Piers Morgan Gets Blasted Over Beyoncé “Lemonade” Comments
Piers Morgan is currently getting the dragging of his life after the columnist wrote an unnecessary azz think piece on Beyoncé’s “Lemonade” titled “Jay-Z’s not the only one who needs to be worried about Beyoncé, the born-again-black woman with a political mission.”
According to Piers he “doesn’t like it when entertainers go all political”and notes that “it’s rarely done for genuine reasons but for strictly commercial ones.”
He then brings up Beyoncé and her new ‘visual-album’ Lemonade” and accuses her of “shamelessly exploiting” the mothers of Mike Brown and Trayvon Martin.
Via The Daily Mail:
[…]
There’s a clip of Malcolm X, the radical and controversial black separatist who opposed Dr Martin Luther King’s creed of non-violence, saying: ‘The most disrespected person in America is the black woman.’Another shows two grieving mothers appearing on camera.
The first is Lesley McSpadden, filmed crying as she holds a photo of her late son Mike Brown who was shot dead by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014 – an incident which sparked huge protests.
The second is Sybrina Fulton, whose 17-year-old son Trayvon Martin was killed in Florida by a local vigilante George Zimmerman in a case that sparked national outrage in 2012.
I have huge personal sympathy for both women and there is no doubt that African-Americans have been treated appallingly by certain rogue elements within the country’s police forces.
But I felt very uneasy watching these women being used in this way to sell an album. It smacks of shameless exploitation.
Really Piers??? You sure you wanna do this???
He then recaps a 2008 interview he had with Beyoncé where she discussed race. According to Piers he much prefers that Beyonce over the “agitating inflammatory” singer she is now.
‘Did you experience racism as you grew up?’ I asked.
‘A bit, but I feel like with my career I’ve now broken barriers. I don’t think people think about my race. I think they look at me as an entertainer and a musician and I’m very happy about that because that’s how I look at people. It’s not about color and race, and I’m happy that’s changing.’[…]
Beyoncé then was unrecognisable from the militant activist we see now. Then, she was at pains to be seen as an entertainer and musician and not as a black woman who sings.Now, it seems to be the complete opposite.
The new Beyoncé wants to be seen as a black woman political activist first and foremost, entertainer and musician second.
I still think she’s a wonderful singer and performer, and some of the music on Lemonade is fantastic.
But I have to be honest, I preferred the old Beyoncé.
The less inflammatory, agitating one.
The one who didn’t use grieving mothers to shift records and further fill her already massively enriched purse.
The one who didn’t play the race card so deliberately and to my mind, unnecessarily.
The one who wanted to be judged on her stupendous talent not her skin color, and wanted us all to do the same.
Beyoncé fans are of course up in arms and Piers is getting schooled by everyone from Roland Martin…
to Holly Robinson Peete.
STOP…TROLLING…US…PIERS.
