#BLACK LIVES MATTER.

Black lives matter

 #Black lives matter is a movement against police brutality towards blacks, it has got celebrities such as Beyoncé, Barack Obama crying and voicing their views out. This movement started back in 2013, when a police officer by the name of George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin an African American teenager, for suspicious behaviour. How it all started

Super bowl picture

 Beyoncé’s involvement with the black lives matter movement has coursed a lot of trouble for her. She has received critics over her performance of Formation at the Super bowl. She broke the internet once again people were going insane on Facebook over Queen Bey's #Blacklivesmatter anthem,How people responded. Critics were saying her performance had political implication, because : Her girl squad wore black leather with barrettes, like black panthers from the 60's. : They threw the fist, as the sign of power to black people : They performed a human X to represent Malcolm X

 Beyoncé has a huge voice as a brand, people look up to her and it is good that she is using it to empower people, it is good that she get people talking on social platforms like twitter and Facebook. People were going insane on Facebook over the #black lives matter anthem. People had different views about her performance some were saying it was racist some were supporting saying it actually empowers Africans Comments. Even the former mayor of New York Mr Rudy Giuliani was saying that the video and her performance was an attack on the police.Giuliani's attack on Beyonce                                                                            



Beyoncé’s Response on social media 

 Beyoncé is not so active on social sites, she has a twitter account which she does not use often, and she is active on Instagram though. The only form of response that's available is from Beyoncé her self-saying" she wanted to empower people and make them feel proud". Saying that, that was the whole purpose of her performance.

Advantages and Disadvantages

 Social media means free publicity, if people talk about your brand on social pages, it helps gunner support and it helps you appeal better on your supporters Advantages & disadvantages. Social sites are like a word of mouth and people trust a WOM than advertisements. People talking about Beyoncé’s formation performance generated free publicity for her, which is good for her brand. The disadvantage is that haters may hack your project and make it sound negative, like people did with her super bowl performance calling it racist. For future reference I will recommend that people think of how the other person will receive the message you twitting.
