Feeling shocked, uncomfortable or excluded after watching Beyonce’s new music video? Too bad.

Beyonce (aka Queen B) dropped her latest and most talked about music video “Formation” after the Superbowl. The song initially caused a stir over the costumes, which were reminiscent of the Black Panthers, the dancers wore during the halftime show. There was political commentary throughout the video’s duration. The video features imagery that highlights the devastation and after-effects of Hurricane Katrina and expresses distaste for police brutality.

The song lyrics and the video’s cinematography are brilliantly laced with positive messages and images that celebrate black people. Leave it up to Queen B to make the issue of race and the lack of racial discussion an amazing piece of art for people to enjoy. Hopefully by now we can all agree this is more than just a song; it is a new anthem representing black pride. While this is a positive thing, not everyone views it that way.

The mere fact that the video had only black dancers left some white people feeling excluded. Some even called it racist. But here’s the shocker, people: Beyonce is black. In order to show pride in her culture, she needed to represent people who also are black. Queen B also enthusiastically praises natural black hair, braids, fros and twist outs. She also features her daughter, Blue Ivy, who smiles brightly as she rocks an afro, a style she has been ridiculed for.

Beyonce is unapologetically celebrating traits which only black Americans can relate to. We shouldn’t attack an artist who is stepping up and representing a community that is underrepresented. This should be a celebratory moment in music history. Beyonce is spreading the message of self-­love to a group of individuals who don’t get that celebration often. Beyonce, like every other musician, is singing about things that matter to her.

Everyone can enjoy “Formation.” The song teaches self acceptance, pride and determination. But the song was made with a black audience in mind. Stand in solidarity with one another and be proud that you live in a time where history is changing right before your eyes.
