Or how she's always advocated for the independence and free will of females. Her constant support of gays, by simply hiring them and working with them. People are so dense. Their logic of "if I don't know about it, it didn't happen or matter" is beyond stupid.
And these are the same people who probably don't lift a finger to help others.

She's just milking to for her advantage and so many people are seeing it for what it is.

MIA has been making political statements her entire career. What albums has she released for free? Was BTW a free album? To Pimp a Butterfly? Oh, wait! Firework was a free song too, huh?
Or does this asinine logic only apply to Beyonce, a woman who recently released a pro-black song...wait for it...FOR FREE?

These people don't actually believe it's new with her, what upsets them is that she's doing it in the first place.
Beyonce gave a black panther salute and BLM tribute, ALOT of white people tull today get really mad and uncomfortable when a black person unapologetically displays their blackness. End of.
Like I said I stopped caring A while ago and it's been great. As a black person I'm not going to compromise myself for the majority white populous. If I want to protest what's Goin on I'll do it I'm my own way. Period. If that makes a white person uncomfortable then that's their problem it's not my fault

You mean like when she released a free song about black pride and it's still free today? Would that be fine for you?
And "just her attempts" is still going to motivate and empower a lot of people, so in your scenario it's still a win-win. Like, why are you complaining?

She makes a great point in talking about how others should be talking about other POC movements but the Beyonce comment was unneeded. Because really, we know how it would turn out. The cultural appropriation word would be thrown around, people would get upset because she's using a group of people to seem whatever and how this isn't her issues blah blah blah.

One thing I will never understand is how people like M.I.A. is trying to discredit an important case like Black Lives Matter because Beyoncé isn't focused about Muslim Lives Matter. Like everyone else do human have a heart case near their heart for something that they can relate to. Why focus so much on Beyoncé when you can go out and use your voice for something which is important to you. If human started focusing on themselves and what they can bring to the table I promise you, we would have gotten so much longer. But trying to discredit other because they don't fight for the same thing is there where the problem is. Stop focusing on the negative and fight for what YOU believe in.
and i'm not saying fighting for something which can bring negativity to other people. But EQUALITY for everyone. Muslim Lives Matter is important. But M.I.A. went the whoooole wrong way with it.

Right, but when it comes to women's and gay rights, it's all kosher. Protest away! The black struggle is always downplayed to uplift other oppression.

Why would she release her art for free,something that she worked hard on,are you going to cover her production cost and pay for
the services of people she hired for the project? even charity have some methods of getting funding,maybe you expect her to ask for a donation to fund the album?cos God knows she can't cover all the cost by herself,plus she already put out formation for free.
Knowing my fave am very sure that just like she is doing with her tour some proceeds will go towards a worthy cause.

Her whole B'Day album is based on her roots. You as a fan since DIL should be aware of this.

Not too long ago they were bitching about her not advocating for the gays.  It's like they spin a wheel and decide what to fume about every week. Best believe that if Bey released a pro-gay anthem, like they're basically asking her to do, they would then accuse her of doing it for attention.

No one is calling black people the enemy. Im not saying your movement doesnt matter, im just interested in seeing my own come up and be recognized. Because latinos are often shoved under the rug.

So you go advocate for Latinos then. You have as many hours in the day as Bey.
As an artist, the art you create comes from your own inspirations, experiences, and dreams. As a black woman, why would Bey create music that advocates for Latinos? As a woman, why would she advocate for the rights of men? As a Christian, why would she advocate for Muslims? I mean, she COULD advocate for it, but you nor anyone else needs to tell she Should or Needs to do it. Ya'll make is seem like she's sitting in the studio like "Lets make sure all the other races don't feel empowered by this, I hate everyone but black people". Go take action yourself and stop complaining.
