Beyonce's Lemonade

We have started to watch Beyonce's Lemonade during our english class yesterday. I definitely understand why it was a controversal album. It was very explicit, very raw, and it picked the brain a little bit. Before each song there was a poem that she read. Before that there was one word put on the screen that was sort of the theme of the poem and the song. The music was outstanding and the poems were very well written. Each song felt like it touched a different genre which is genius on Beyonce's part. Under all of the music and acting and speaking in the album there seems to be an underlying theme. One is Black women empowerment. During the album a playback of Malcom X's speech that talk about black women oppression was played. Malcolm X stated that the most oppressed group of people in america is the black women. I can definitely agree with that statement. I agree because let's look at the chart of inequality for a second. At the bottom of the list which is the group that is most oppressed are black people. Because the most oppressed group are black people that automatically makes the black women the most oppressed group. That is because women are definitely more oppressed then men so any group that is oppressed at all by default the women in that group are more oppressed. I like Lemonade and I believe what Beyonce has done was raise awareness of this social problem. With everyone talking about LGBT rights and black lives she wants to remind everyone that gender equality is still a major problem in America. Left unaddress this problem can continue for generation which is unacceptable.
