A democracy without accountability, without open critique of law enforcement is not a democracy. “Risking your life,” doesn’t earn anyone the inalienable right to unending goodness and respect. The NFL Superbowl is the perfect opportunity to send such a message to as many people in Amerikkka as possible. An unofficial U.S. holiday, millions of Americans habitually gather annually to watch the football game, commercials, and half-time performance. In the wake of countless race-based police killings of Black Americans, Knowles infuriated Blue-Lives-Matter-Pro-Police Amerikkka in her half-time performance. As a business womxn, she intentionally employed only Black female musicians and dancers. As an artist, the fifty-plus ensemble performed her song, “Formation,” dressed in Anti-Police Pro-Black 60s Black Panther gear and 80s Micheal Jackson fashion. The costume and provocative song immediately polarized Amerikkka. The right-wing felt personally attacked, accusing Knowles of co-opting the half-time to disturb a family event with race politics. That is exactly what she did. And necessarily so, for the sake potentially safeguarding future Black lives, because the totalitarian alternative is not a reality continuing to live.
