Have any of these conspiratards stop to think that maybe the artist of the video directors like the biblical imagery?

Like if she was riding a pegasus would that be a greek mithology conspiracy?
Anything non-Christian is demonized here in America. Her last few albums had dark themes; Beyoncé was highly sexual, lemonade was voodoo/Orisha heavy, and even the lion king album was different from what we would expect.

I can see both sides, because as a Christian I can’t deny the imagery, but that brings us back to the century old dialogue that started with Alain Locke and Langston Hughes and DuBois in the Harlem Renaissance; what is The Negro in Art? Can we make art that is purely aesthetic or is everything to be judged as a political or spiritual statement?

All of the conspiracy theories that came out after AstroWorld were ridiculous. Talking about the CERN super collider and all that, harvesting souls, claiming that Kris Jenner needeed 8 blood sacrifices for her 66th birthday which was on that day, 8 flames on stage, the "see you on the other side" image.

I got sucked into that rabbit hole and couldn't listen to Travis Scott anymore. Cause some of it started seeming very real.

Don’t compare those authors from Harlem with today’s popular artists with demonic imagery. Kendrick mocking Christ with a iced out crown of thorns. Kanye West mocking Jesus in I Am God and had someone playing as white Jesus in his concerts during the YEEZUS tour.

Open your eyes.

any books, video essays, or podcasts that discuss this topic?

There was a symposium in The Crisis in that this dialogue originated in.

Quoted from the Wikipedia:

The issue of the portrayal of African Americans in culture became an increasingly pressing one for the NAACP's leader, W. E. B. Du Bois, as what became known as the New Negro Movement (or Harlem Renaissance) began to take off.[1] Black artists found it very difficult to overcome the predominance of racial stereotypes as they sought to portray the more vibrant black culture of the 20th century.[2] Concerned with the direction cultural representation would take, Du Bois foresaw many issues arising.[3]


DescriptionEdit

The Crisis literary editor, Jesse Redmon Fauset, focused the discussion points and asked critic Carl Van Vechten to draft the final questionnaire.[1] Seven questions were posed on the topics of artistic freedom, character choice, writer's responsibility, publisher's attitudes, misrepresentation (effects and responses), and influence.[4] While broadly using the term 'art', the focus was specifically literature.[5]

In addition to Fauset and Van Vechten, participants who responded included Charles W. Chesnutt, Georgia Douglas Johnson, Walter White, Countee Cullen and Langston Hughes. Also responding were Alfred A. Knopf, John C. Farrar, H. L. Mencken, Sherwood Anderson, Vachel Lindsay, Sinclair Lewis, DuBose Heyward, Julia Peterkin, and Joel Spingarn.[1][3][4]

Yes your absolutely right and Beyonce is a high ranking witch but these fools are blind so no pont trying to explain that to them.
Yes, she certainly is. And no, you can't explain everything to everyone unfortunately. People will believe what they want despite the evidence being right in our faces. 😞

Have you read Cane? The book that started the Harlem Renaissance? It’s all about Black Death, interracial relationships, n*gger this and that, and the author, who was a descendant of the first black governor of Louisiana, basically denounced his blackness (Jean Toomer).

Half of them were gay or closeted. Countee Cullen, the man who made The Blacker the Berry Wallace Thurman, Langston Hughes, Alain Locke, and others were all rumored to have dalliances with men.
