Imagine saying a black women is culturally appropriating country music for singing one of _her_ songs in a genre that was literally _created_ by black people

[@dopaminefiend6182]

Country music wasn't created by Black people. The genre itself is heavily influenced by many other folk music genres, as well as other cultures' music. The banjo was an African instrument, but it isn't the conception of country music haha. 'Country' music exists all over the world, differing depending on culture and traditional instruments used. Country music isn't solely American country music, even in America it's was heavily influenced by folk music from multiple cultures and countries do to migration from Europe (Ireland and Germanic speaking countries for example) and forced 'migration' from countries in Africa and Asia too. In Thailand we have traditional country songs and instruments that have been used for centuries to make folk music :)

- Country Music Loby : We don’t want Beyoncé or those Dixie Chicks at country music awards ceremonies cause of their position about war and their feminism engagement ! -Beyoncé at the biggest country music award ceremony : PLEASE GIVE IT UP FOR THE DIXIE CHICKS ! #BadBeytch 💁‍♂️

[@ariellionn]

This was the catalyst. The reaction from a lot of people in that audience fuelled this next era of music to be born. Roll on Beyoncé’s new album act ii 🤠 🔥👏🏼

[@dess_xxoox]

she can literally sing any genre

[@sbd2qr]

This is what music is about! The feeling and uplifting our spirits. I hate how Beyoncé was being judged and you can see it on everyone of their faces. Not half of those white folks were dancing or supporting her while she delivered a show stopping performance! This is why Beyoncé will always be queen! Rise above the hate of racism in venue full of racists.

Nah they liked it bruh. White people at the CMAs ain't never been the dancing type.

Not sure what all the fuss was about? Are we forgetting country Music is 1 of 25 music genres created by Black Americans? Beyonce was right at home.

[@lehadden3305]

I guess she wasn't supposed to do country and her performance with them was controversial since they had been banned because of their comment about Bush. Either way -- good performance.

She was amazing it’s more historically authentic than your average modern country song so it indeed was one of the best modern performances of a historical American genre.

Beyonce as a black woman singing about rights to carry and conceal weapons in a country music awards which mostly celebrates white men is the level of free speech and confrontational conversation we need. Also Bringing the dixie chicks to validate free speech... Beyonce is a very savvy woman.

The country music establishment is embarrassing. This was one of the greatest live TV performances of any genre of any music ever. I'm not even that much of a fan of either but there is no denying what they accomplished during this performances. It is the definition of making music.

To the people who are saying "nobody in the audience was being racist": Y'all don't understand the context behind the people calling out the racism because ur 5yrs late to the video. Back when this was first performed, there were so much criticism, backlash, racist comments etc that CMV took down the Beyonce's performance video temporarily. So yh there definitely were some racist audience members

[@HAHA-kk2xy]

Well fuck those audience memebers they are dumb. This performance was magical! 💖

[@gapless1001]

This is something I come back to every month or so. One of the best performances ever. The talent! The musicians! The chicks are legendary and the way they and Beyonce compiled this collaboration was just FIRE! They showed us we could be listening to all whole new sound with blending country and R& B and it is amazing!
