Also, some of his comments beyond Bey are a little troubling.

I think thats the point. Instead of being truly revolutionary Beyonce is watering down the radical sentiment that the movement needs to succeed by commodifying it, making it trendy, boosting her own brand all while distracting from the actual issues. We don't need Black Lives Matter to be easily digestible and entertaining. This line of thinking is the reason why cops currently think its cute to pretend to pull people over to hand out ice cream cones and have BBQ's all while cops are still shooting people dead in the streets.
