BEYONCE creates an uproar as she and her dancers adorn BLACK PANTHER garb for their halftime SUPER BOWL 50 performance.  Reported on the heel of the performance was BEYONCE and JAY-Z  donation of $1.5M to the BLACK LIVES MATTER movement.  Many people applauded BEY for making such a political statement on the world's largest stage, however former NEW YORK MAYOR, RUDY GIULIANI called the performance an "ATTACK ON COPS."  Some in the BLACK community found the gyrating performance, distasteful to the BLACK PANTHERS, and felt she was only exploiting the BLACK LIVES MATTER movement to generate interest in her upcoming FORMATION TOUR. Lastly there are others who judged the overall performance as a veil attempt to align the #BLM and GAY RIGHTS MOVEMENT. Beyonce and Jay-Z have they all of sudden becoming conscious, or are they capitalistic vultures?  MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask?  "ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK"
