This morning,
I woke up to Beyonce's picture all over my timeline. There was
Beyonce, Queen of the Universe, holding her babies while standing in
front of a beautifully lit flower wreath looking like Mother Nature
herself. I am here for it ya'll!!! After listening to Lemonade and 4:44 back to back for about a week, I was anticipating something hugecoming from the Carters and this was it! All of us on black twitter
had a feeling that the twins had been born some time ago and that
Beyonce was just witholding pictures from the public to be able to
spend some time with her babies before the blogs completely lost it.
And we have!! She named those babies Rumi and Sir Carter! She made sure to name her baby son Sir that way people had no choice, but to address him by Sir. I love it!
I am so happy
for Beyonce, so I will be breaking down some things for people who
don't understand the importance of this. When Beyonce announced her
pregnancy, white women got in a tizzle over this and completely went
off in their whiny nasally think pieces. Listen up here white women!
What we are not going to do is speak anything but goodwill on Beyonce
and her beautiful family. Beyonce has had to deal with a shifty
marriage and work out all the kinks with that marriage behind closed
doors. She has had many miscarriages and stillborns. Moreover, every
other week people were coming out saying that Beyonce was pregnant,
when she knew that she wasn't. Every single move she makes is
scrutinized and criticized. People say she shouldn't dance around on
stage because she's older and she's a mother. She shouldn't sing
about having sex with her husband and that her feminism isn't real
feminism because she focuses a lot on femininity in her music and
that she doesn't give back to her community.
First of all,
white women have no place to tell Beyonce anything. She is literally
one of the best singers and performers of our time. Everything you
are going to write about her announcements is just you complaining
because it makes you feel some type of way because Beyonce is happy
and you're upset that a Starbucks barista spelled your name Maggy
instead of Maggie. Ya'll are really upset because when Beyonce posts a picture on her personal Instagram and we all get very excited. We are happy for Beyonce because we recognize how amazing she is and how hard she works everyday to have the level of success that she has. We recognize this, but you and some black women, I ain't forgot about ya'll "pick me's", get so upset because we are happy for Bey. Like let us have our happiness! Black women do not live happy and lavish lives to
satisfy you. If you don't like Beyonce's instagram announcements,well then tough because no one care if you're hurt Becky. How aboutyou deal with whatever low self-esteem is making you take out yourwhite tears on Beyonce and her beautiful babies. Get over yourself.If you really think your negative opinion on Beyonce's growing family matters, then honey you are seriously delusional.
Onto Beyonce
giving back, she and Jay Z has donated money plenty of times to people in theUS and across the world. We all know that Beyonce and Jay- Z are
extremely private about their own personal lives. So that means they
have found time to give back to the community without making a huge
announcement about it. Because honestly, if make a huge deal of
giving back to your community, then you're really doing it for
publicity and for people to think that you are a good person. Jay Zwired money to bail out the Baltimore protesters in 2015 after
filmaker Dream Hampton tweeted out to him in now deleted tweets.
Apparently Jay Z wired tens of thousands of dollars. Beyonce has her
BeyGood foundation that does very important charity work in Nepalafter the 7.2 magnitude earthquake and in Haiti to help disadvataged children.
Now, Beyonce's feminism is valid. Just because her music is usually about women's
sexuality and femininity doesn't make it invalid. Beyonce sings about
having sex with her husband and she wears what she wants on stage
because she is her own person! She will wear whatever she wants after
any pregnancy and she will be killing it on stage! Moreover, she created Lemonade which is an award winnning piece of black feminist art that is extremely important to so many black women still to this day. Femnism comes in
all kinds of packages, but as long as it focuses on being equitable
to all people despite their gender identity, sexual orientation,
race, physical and mental ability, or socioeconomic background.
Moreover, BeyGood has focused on pushing forward an agenda to pursue
worldwide gender equality.
So if ya'll
got any hate for Beyonce, don't bring that negative energy over here.
No ma'am
