Solange - "F.U.B.U" | Live at Sydney Opera House

[@edneisales5048]

I love the fact that she looked for black people in the audience and sang to them.

[@TititoDeBologay]

She always does that. For Don't touch my hair too. I cried my soul out when she did that in Paris.

[@katisop5991]

Lol not possible to single blacks out in my corner of the world, South Africa. Incidentally we still experience some of the worst oppression in the world. Mandela's movement had been turned into a corruption scheme, and those fighting for the people like EFF always get called out. But if they ever win an election, they're sure as hell also gone be sooo corrupt. Every day another state company is in crisis from that which was fine under apartheid. One crazy complicated country we are.

[@theee1111]

That was the shit.

[@kokolatte825]

That part made me start tearing up. The thing that's frustrating is thinking that many Whites in that audience still won't even get it. Not in a way that they carry the thought with them in their day to day lives.

[@theee1111]

@@ctshabangu No this song is to black people. Not the disabled.

[@GK-yh9yh]

@@ctshabangu no. The song uses the n-word. A lot. A word taken back from us, white people. She’s saying not to feel bad that we can’t sing the song as white people because we can still enjoy the song and the rest of the privilege we enjoy, but the song was made for black people. It’s a beautiful lyric.

This performance is ICONIC! If you know anything about Australia's treatment of its Indigenous population and black immigrants, you know how iconic it is for Solo to be singing this to all these white Australians.

Beyonce: I’ll take Cochella 💅🏾 Solange: Yass, I wanted the opera house 🙌🏾

[@ObservingtheMatrix]

Omg I would have killed to be at this concert. The way she performs it and reached out to the black audience members and sang directly to them. Ugh. It's heartbreaking how much commercialism ruins everything because her talent and artistry are at the very top of her craft.

[@kagisom.3170]

I’ll never forget.Afropunk South Africa, she came into the crowd to sing this with us🥺

[@threatofjoy]

Any performance of this song always reminds me of that story of when she got harassed by white people at a Kraftwerk concert because she "didn't belong there", I always felt like this song was a response to that incident, in addition to the overall message of the song. So when she purposefully goes to the black people in the audience here (let's be honest there's like 5), it's really great to see.

[@tayloralliease8013]

Can we just admire how she intentionally went into the crowd to sing this song to her people 💔😿 this shit is for us !
