Well... on the one hand BLM/Black Panthers are controversial. I have my own opinions but I would never go as far as to say anyone and everyone who supports BLM/Black Panthers is calling for attacks on the police. I thought that comment by Giuliani was ridiculous and hypocritical since in the same breath he advocated for supporting the police effectively blindly and trusting them to "work on it" when things go wrong. Please. I'm white privilege walking and even I don't buy that. BLM/Black Panthers among other things were exercising a very fundamental right to petition that far outweighs the interest of supporting the police to act with impunity. I have problems with some of the methods, particularly with the Black Panthers. Some of what they did was downright heinous. They did also exercise that right to petition, however, which IS the civil rights movement. I think that's much more what Beyonce was alluding to than let's go kill us some pigs.
In this analysis of the video, the author explains how the concept of rewarding the male for his prowess is a form of resistance to the accepted standard that women are rewarded for their sexuality. Your initial reaction is, it sounds disgusting for a woman to say this about her man, the next step should be to acknowledge that it is also disgusting for a man to say the the same thingabout a woman and instead of shrugging it off as "that's the way it is" move on to realizing that change is needed and starting to work towards that change.
From your explanation in the link, seems to tell us she may have been speaking to the men playing football.......now I really don't get why this would help the cause of BLM.....
Chick Fil a donated to multiple hate groups, some of which work to push legislation to make homosexuality illegal, and some of those groups have donated to international hate groups that outright try to kill gay people.
What a crock of baloney which, even if it had happened, wasn't even the reason for the boycott. Let's rehash it: the CEO (like Barilla's) was snookered by a mean-spirited "reporter," who then cried anti-gay and got the bandwagon puppets to boycott.

The problem that Beyonce exposes with the Red Lobster is that it "shocking" when a woman appears to be proud to reward good sex. It's the awareness that is the thing to focus on, it's not about turning the tables as much as it is about realizing that our casual acceptance of when men say the same thing is the problem. It starts the dialogue and that is where the change starts, notice how in this exchange we have already reached a common ground and both agree that there is an attitude that needs to be changed. Contrast that with someone just attacking your acceptance of a belief, we are put on the defensive and a less likely to want to question your own views.
I'm not sure where you are getting the impression that Beyonce has gotten angry or that she hates men. What most people have failed to understand about this video and song is that it address several issues and there are even some critiques of black culture but it has all gotten lost due to what amounts to about 15 seconds of the video. I have read several critiques of the history and meaning behind the images in the video and I have to say that I was quite impressed about what it is presenting. Regardless of how you feel about this issue Beyonce pretty much addressed the controversy at the end of the song when she says

stop smoking what you're smoking, they have the right to donate to who they want to donate to and no one would care if you boycotted them
I wish we had a good Red Lobster in our town. The only one here is in the Ghetto part and the whole place sucks. I have eaten at some great RL, but this ain't one of them.
