They are using DEI with a hard "R"

Wouldn't putting even one white performer in the show count as.... "Forced inclusion"?

I watched it and thought Kendrick Lamar is awesome! Samuel L Jackson is awesome! Serena Williams is awesome! DJ Mustard is awesome!

I never thought oh they're all black...

Why are we still printing articles that quote nothing but tweets as if it’s real reporting on real human opinions instead of a psyop bot farm?

Tell them it was all based on merit and watch their heads explode

Affirmative Action. Critical Race Theory. DEI. We fought a Civil War over this. People got lynched. There were protests. People got beaten, bitten by dogs and hosed with water over this. And for what? So it can be taken away with the stroke of a pen. It’s a shame.

I found this somewhere and thought it was a pretty good explanation for all the symbolism in his performance.

And even tho I'm not super familiar with his music, I do respect him and an artist and really enjoyed the show.

Edit: and Serena crip-walking on Drake getting called a pedophile on international TV was just the icing on the cake for me.

I can't fathom the logic but maybe that's because I'm not racist. The best thing here would be if people would just enjoy shit and shut the fuck up. I will straight up admit I didn't understand a fuckin word Lamar said on stage, but I also understand that my taste in music doesn't include whatever type of rap it is that he performs. But I cannot fathom sitting there watching that and the only thought on my mind is 'holy SHIT there's not a single white person on the stage ?!?!?!!' Just...wat.

I noticed. I intentionally checked. And when I saw there were no white people I chuckled to myself because I know this would make piss the racists the fuck off.

"DEI only goes one direction" which means what exists when there is no DEI?

Take your time.

I forget the part where the whites were forced to watch it. When did that part happen ?

Because listening to and reporting on the whites whining is not required, either.

wtf is wrong with people. You watch a show and all you can think of if the race of the ppl dancing? Stop this obsession ppl!

That show was HORRIBLE! There was no DIVERSITY!

-Americans making DIVERSITY, EQUALITY, INCLUSION illegal!

X users are taking to the platform to complain amid the [Super Bowl].

Well that’s your problem, you got nazis in your platform.

Oh, cry me a river.

Was never an issue when ya'll were pouring acid to get us out of the pool. Or when we couldn't go to "white only" businesses. Or schools.

A white performer can have an entire stage of nothing but white dancers and they wouldn't say boo, but the black performer does the same, suddenly they see it as unfair. 🙄

I thought we were going to be a color blind society based on merit?

I didn't enjoy the entire superbowl. Not a single commercial was memorable, or with me right now. The game was sad and one sided, while the commentators just kept trying to suck off KC.

And as far as the halftime show, I didn't like it. Now, as far as the music goes, I never like the music. But usually the music at least brings with it some amazing visuals. It usually feels like the biggest performance of the year.

Instead, they had one move. Yes, the dancing in colors to eventually form a flag that waves IS pretty cool.....but you got a 20 minute performance. That visual is a minute at most. What else ya got? Oh, just a lot of dancers marching down the street.....still forming a flag. Oh, the majority of your show is the flag? Yeah, it was kinda cool the first time....but that CANNOT be your only move. I forget who was billed as the official act, but there was one that broke down into a whole bunch of singers. You had jay z and eminem, and mary j blige and snoop dogg, and it just kept changing styles. That one was kinda cool.

I think that's what I want in superbowl halftime shows. Larger than life productions where you get lost in the theatrical production of all, and it becomes an ensamble cast of artists and styles.

I want one where TLC leads into Lady Gaga, leads into Destinys Child, leads into Beyonce, capped off by GWAR.

Imagine that halftime show.

Are One Direction even still together?

I was whining about how lame the performance was.

Ehh, theyre just confirming that they are racists. Also rap and hiphop is a mainly black thing. Its in their culture because of the opression. Its like being upset that there are only french skiers or something.

Kendrick Lamar's halftime show performance ... not having one white performer on stage

Heh-heh, excellent.
