Look. These dudes has fickle penis feelings that need a conspiracy to understand. I think Alex has a mad crush on Bey, but can't express it.

Yeah, "research" is looking up shit at infowars and accepting it as gospel. Right. Sure. It's not like Ol' Alex doesn't have a slight agenda or anything...

Alex Jones and Matt Drudge experts in the illusion of explanation. Jim Hoft is just an illusion.

It astonishes me how terrified some white men are of black people.

All goes back to slave revolts in the South. Nat Turner's reach is all the way to the 21st Century.

That's not fair. You can also go to prisonplanet.com for a different perspective from the exact same crazy person.

Very true. But that was 160 years ago. It's time people got the hell over this bullshit.

You are 100% correct, and I've apologized to him (or her). I should not have snarled like that. That was me stupidly bringing in three days worth of annoyance at the many, many completely dismissive comments I've seen - reflexive ones, at that. There's a large subgroup of Guardian readers (for instance) who were happy to glance briefly at a review of the album/film and then go straight to the comments section to post a whole bunch of uninformed commentary laden with not especially subtle racism and misogyny.

None of which is to say that anyone has to be a Beyonce fan - hell, I'm not, on the whole - but I do think this film is impressive enough that it deserves to be taken seriously.

I'm more afraid of the rural terrorists like the Bundys than Beyonce.
