Last week, Beyoncé released a surprise new music video for her new song “Formation” and the world temporarily hit pause on itself so everyone could watch it, as is often the case when she does just about anything. However, this song and its video instantly courted controversy, as far too many white commenters and writers and what-have-you found themselves churning out think pieces and hot takes about how the beloved pop singer used this opportunity to embrace her heritage. In other words, a bunch of white people suddenly found themselves deeply uncomfortable that Beyoncé was black and SNL has parodied this with a fake movie trailer.
Many have criticized Beyonce's Super Bowl performance for being too political, but one TV host decided to drag her husband's past into the conversation.
Roughly 24 hours after Beyonce shocked and awed us with her politically-charged, over-slaying video for “Formation,” fans are still posting reaction memes on social media.
