Have you even read the lyrics? They're barely related to race.

Wait what? That song was about people hating on her, literally nothing about her being black or anyone else or race at all

Sounds like she finally discovered the Beatles and tried to imitate their Hindu inspired songs (poorly)

Is the first link song different than the video?

I turned the song off quickly and went to the video. That song was fricking awful.

The song in the video isn't much better. It definitely has images of oppressive acts against black America and then the lyrics celebrate being black and what blacks have done for America. Not sure why white people would be offended by it.

And isn't Coldplay playing the Super Bowl?

In addition to the explicit lyrics, the video, which was directed by Beyoncé and shot in New Orleans, takes on black culture and police brutality with a handful of powerful images, including a cop car, a police line, a Southern plantation home, and a shot of graffiti on a wall that reads, "Stop shooting us." Watch the video above now!

Totally agree, but I'm sure someone will find a way to be outraged at something. Coldplay is performing, but so is Beyoncé.
