AceShowbiz - Beyonce Knowles continues to make use of her social media platform to raise awareness about Black Lives Matter movement following the murder of George Floyd. The "Lemonade" hitmaker recently took to her Instagram account to urge her fans to stay focused during protests for justice.
"The world came together for George Floyd. We know there is a long road ahead," so the words on the picture she shared on Wednesday, June 3 read. "Let's remain aligned and focused in our call for real justice."
Fans applauded her for the post as one commented, "beyonce for president." Another user said, "Perfectly said Bey!" with someone else writing, "Thank you bey for using your power to help voice those in need."
This arrived after Beyonce shared a powerful message about racism and police brutality in a video uploaded last month. In a May 29 clip, the wife of Jay-Z said, "We need justice for George Floyd. We all witnessed his murder in broad daylight. We're broken and we're disgusted. We cannot normalize this pain. I'm not only speaking to people of color."
She went on saying, "If you're white, black, brown, or anything in between, I'm sure you feel hopeless about the racism going on in America right now. No more senseless killings of human beings. No more seeing people of color as less than human. We can no longer look away."
Paying tribute to George, Beyonce added, "George is all of our family, and humanity. He's our family because he's a fellow American. There have been too many times that we've seen these violent killings, and no consequences. Yes, someone's been charged, but justice is far from being achieved. Please sign the petition and continue to pray for peace, compassion and healing for our country."
While some appreciated his video, some others took issue with the fact that she used filter in the video. "This is a serious matter. Why you using a filter?" asked the person. Another naysayer chimed in, "busy worrying about what her face gonna look like giving a powerful message."
