The Queen B’s recent song, “Black Parade” was released on Juneteenth, a holiday celebrating the liberation of those who had been enslaved in the United States.
In the song Beyoncé signifies her motherland, Africa. Where she and her fellow black people are cherished and considered as equals as well as their own. Being fed up with the hatred and racism in the United States against black people regarding recent events such as the case of George Floyd, the pop star comes to a conclusion that maybe having the color black itself is being blessed so much so that the brutal people of the past have just been envy of.
She tells her fans, commonly referred to as ‘The Army’ or ‘The Bey-hive’ to join forces together and stand tall as the barbarity of the opposition wont last against them and no matter what they try they won’ tolerate any more cruelty. Beyoncé stands for all black people in the leadership of the protest and is willing to go to all lengths to defend the honor and peace of her people.
Woo, wearin' all attire white to the funeral
In the U.S people wear black attire to a funeral, but the queen has other plans for such traditions as she refuses to let black be a color of grief. Instead she declares it as a color of pride and celebration, so wear it proudly! Elegantly concluding the last verse, she holds hands with all her fans and tells them to pray for the infinite list of black heroes who gave their lives fighting for equal rights and honor for the black.
Indeed, race has just been a color for human beings. It has been a source for identifying people, their tribes and the characteristics they excel in and the rich culture and knowledge they are known for. It is definitely not a scale for who’s superior. Each and every race, culture and human being is special in their own way and that’s what makes meeting new people and learning from them, life more interesting and worth living for!
