Lamar filled the stage with performers, but none of them seemed to be white. While most may not even have noticed, some particularly upset users took to X to express their frustration.
“There’s no diversity in the half time show. DEI only goes one direction and this horrible halftime show perfectly represents why DEI needs to die,” a user wrote.
I can’t fathom the logic but maybe that’s because I’m not racist. The best thing here would be if people would just enjoy shit and shut the fuck up. I will straight up admit I didn’t understand a fuckin word Lamar said on stage, but I also understand that my taste in music doesn’t include whatever type of rap it is that he performs. But I cannot fathom sitting there watching that and the only thought on my mind is ‘holy SHIT there’s not a single white person on the stage !!!’ Just…wat.
Closed Captions are your friend. KL writes excellent lyrics that are relevant to who he is and where he comes from.
Honestly didn’t think of this and I usually have subtitles on. Appreciate it!
Audio quality was terrible, i saw a clip online later that was much clearer on audio
If you’ve tuned out the vocals because you can’t understand it, the music because you don’t like it, and have to sit there for 15 minutes with it on because you don’t want to miss the actual game, then that kind of thinking happens. Not saying it’s right. I’ll be honest, it was odd, but IDGAF about the half time show. So yes, people are looking for the opportunity to point this type of thing out.
