"Beyoncé don’t give no fucks about your Saturday afternoon."
Beyoncé dropped a new video Saturday afternoon like a bomb on an unsuspecting internet populace. In Formation, an unapologetically black southern anthem, Queen Bey foretells our future: "You know you that bitch when you cause all this coversation."
Dr. Zandria Robinson, on her blog New South Negress, writes about Formation as "a different kind of resistance practice, one rooted in the epistemology of (and sometimes only visible/detectable to) folks on the margins of blackness," an argument she later elaborates on for Rolling Stone following Beyoncé's historic Super Bowl 50 halftime performance. And Dr. Robinson isn't the only one offering deeply insightful analyses of the symbolism in (and implications of) Formation.
