At the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, racially-charged superstar Beyonce decided to advance the false narrative that police officers are the enemy of the black community, targeting and murdering black men in the streets at staggering rates.
Beyonce’s “Pray You Catch Me” performance featured her 16 background dancers, wearing all white outfits and standing under a bright spotlight, being “shot down” on stage one-by-one, representing police shootings of black men, a topic the singer has consistently politicized. After the dancers are “shot” and covered in a pool of blood-red light, a man in a black hoodie, a reference to the late Trayvon Martin, a black man shot by a civilian in a highly-politicized 2012 incident, appears behind Beyonce.
