125 complaints seems like nothing. How many complaints last year?

thepissedoldlady.bsky.social•11 days ago

Their complaints just show how ignorant they are that they couldn't grasp the concept of Kendrick Lamar's brilliant half time production. Ignorance is what drives the strife between us. Unfortunately, some is willful ignorance while the other is ingrained.

It's not any different than the sport itself... not exactly diverse

Aww, poor white people. So oppressed. So beaten down. So excluded. Maybe we should get reparations. /s

Can we just break “white people” down into two groups …

Those that are so weak they need a leg up, and those that don’t and are not afraid of DEI.

“Why was Uncle Sam Black when Uncle Sam is white". The stupid, it burns!

I think that sums up the mentality behind a lot of these complaints.

Are these same people complaining about all the whitewashing this regime is doing?

plus2otto.bsky.social•11 days ago

Only 125 people were bothered enough to complain to the FCC

My fellow mayosapiens, are the worst.

This is the only half-time show that I have watched more than once. It was simply "brilliant".

A whole lot of folks arguing for diversity, equity and inclusion.

These are the same people who scream that white fragility isn't a thing.

bobcalder.bsky.social•11 days ago

Maybe they had a casting call with tryouts?

Sorry, but this isn’t newsworthy. 125 complaints from a Super Bowl audience? And only SOME of them were about not enough white people?! Media needs to stop giving the lunatics so much airtime. It empowers them & makes them seem bigger than they are. There are too many of them, granted, but still

I think we may have erred in making white people think that they are entitled to be in every space and right up at the top.

gratefuladam.bsky.social•11 days ago

Can’t they just tell Drake to stop calling?

🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾

Absolutely fantastic that one of the complaints was (unironically) that the show was "too ghetto."

Way to completely miss and prove the point at the same time.

“Government is too intrusive. Also, fix the halftime show. “
