Political Cartoons by Michael Ramirez
CBS New York  . . . "Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., told CBS2 that the NFL should have canceled her appearance.
“ 'I found the entire show objectionable. It was extolling the Black Panthers who were a terrorist organization, killing police officers in the 60s and 70s,” King said.  A protest is even being held against Beyonce next week outside NFL’s headquarters in New York.
"According to an Event Brite page, an Anti-Beyonce Protest rally will be held Tuesday, Feb. 16, from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.
“ Are you offended as an American that BeyoncĂ© pulled her race-baiting stunt at the Superbowl? Do you agree that it was a slap in the face to law enforcement? Do you agree that the Black Panthers was/is a hate group which should not be glorified? Come and let’s stand together. Let’s tell the NFL we don’t want hate speech & racism at the Superbowl ever again!” the page reads.
"Despite the criticism, Beyonce has seen her share of supporters for her performance. Black Lives Matter activist Melina Abdullah praised her for being like artists who “are willing to raise social consciousness and use their artistry to advance social justice.' ” . . .  Obama's America

BLACK ACTIVIST GROUP IN CHICAGO DEMANDS REPARATIONS FOR SLAVERY

BeyoncĂ©'s 'black power' salute during Super Bowl 50 halftime show slammed by Rudy Giuliani as 'attack' on police“This is football, not Hollywood, and I thought it was really outrageous that she used it as a platform to attack police officers who are the people who protect her and protect us, and keep us alive,” Giuliani said.

“And what we should be doing in the African-American community, and all communities, is build up respect for police officers. And focus on the fact that when something does go wrong, OK, we’ll work on that. But the vast majority of police officers risk their lives to keep us safe,” he said."
