Since Queen Bey’s epic, unapologetically black Coachella performance, the whole world has been talking. Black folks have their chests puffed out in pride over it, yet there are others out there who saw the same performance and only found hate. How Sway?!

I wonder if they’re aware that the opposite of love is actually indifference, not hate. Hate requires your energy. And God knows these people love giving their energy to Beyoncé.
