Ok, so you don't know what a Venn diagram is. You could have just said so.

What I am saying is that I suggest that the people who are complaining about the halftime show, will likely believe that Trump did nothing wrong and dismiss his behavior.

I didn't judge it, evaluate it, or allude anything. You're validating my hypothesis.

I'm not bashing Trump at all. What he does in his bedroom doesn't remotely concern me. Thank goodness.

How were Black Latinas left out? Shakira definitely included in her performance Afro-Colombian dance (champeta) with lingala music (Congolese), which is popular among Colombians of African descent. She’s from Barranquilla so that’s her culture too. And there were plenty black women on stage dancing with her. Not sure of their cultural origins but she made sure people of African origin were dancing it. She also danced Mapale, another Afro-Colombian dance.

I really love her because she is true to her roots and culture. When I heard the lingala and saw the champeta, I almost screamed. LOL.

Furthermore, please do not paint the whole of Latin America with a broad brush as though there are not those fighting against racism, colorism etc. People have long been fighting. Just because it is unknown to you as an outsider doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Colombia has some extremely conscious people...extremely.

1300 prudes with thin skin. I didn't watch the SuperBowl but after all the complaints about the half time show I did Youtube it. It wasn't to my taste, but it wasn't terrible. I admit that I have always found J Lo to be beautiful.

He isn't owed any forgiveness from the public for his personal life before he was even elected. Are you really this clueless? Get back with us when he starts cheating on Melania while president. You know like Bill Clinton did. You going to get back on topic now? If not, this will be my last response to you under this topic. Start a Trump bashing topic as if there isn't enough of them already by you and yours.

He was talking about his Christianity and usually Pence and other Christians say someone has changed after they are born again. Maybe Trump didnt need to go through all that. Nothing to do with Bill Clinton, and by the way, I dont care who you do or dont respond to. This is an internet forum. Just have fun.

I totally agree it was inappropriate.

Yeah me too. Shakira was wearing entirely too much clothing!

Doesn't make it better or right. Kids see murders on TV all the time, should they emulate that too?

Remember if you were a celebrity and said that, you would be fired or shunned from society. Of course we can say that. I like her and would enjoy her in every way, but lip sinking crap and dancing around was too low for her. She actually can sing and that should have been the focus for a half-time show, not her ass.

I don't dismiss anyone's past behavior but I don't allow it to cloud my opinion of them about how they are conducting themselves today. He has been married to Melania for 18 years and I haven't heard of any scandals in regards to his marriage to her. What Trump did or didn't do in the past is irrelevant to how he is running our country and it hasn't a damned thing to do with the half time show! So no, there is no hypocricy at all. Did he bare his crotch and butt cheeks on nationwide TV for all to see? Now you say what he does in his bedroom doesn't concern you and yet you brought it up and you're not bashing him? Geezus!

Get back on topic or this will be my last response to you on the subject of the SB half time show.

We got bigger problems.

Who cares about the halftime show at the Super Bowl? It's over. Done. Move on.
