Beyonce’s new hit single, “Formation,” and recent Super Bowl performance has sparked a ton of controversy. Fans love that the singer has incorporated a message of Black empowerment into her new music and paid tribute to the Black Panther Party at the Super Bowl. However, critics like former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani argue that the song is divisive and that her “anti-cop” performance was inappropriate for the Super Bowl.
On Sunday, Selena Hill, Ilyssa Fuchs, Jaqi Cohen and Stanley Fritz held a live round table discussion on the public’s reaction to Formation and the intersectionality of capitalism and social justice.
