Super Bowl fans whine over Kendrick Lamar's halftime show - 'DEI only goes one direction' (www.irishstar.com)

Lamar filled the stage with performers, but none of them seemed to be white. While most may not even have noticed, some particularly upset users took to X to express their frustration.

"There's no diversity in the half time show. DEI only goes one direction and this horrible halftime show perfectly represents why DEI needs to die," a user wrote.

Uhm, what?

It was intentional. Did you not hear the lines Samuel L. Jackson said and what he wore? He was specifically playing the part of racist america. "It's too ghetto" "oh see the slow song was nice". Everyone being black was completely, 100% intentional.

I'm saying it's a good thing cause it's a middle finger to uppity white people in this country who clutch their pearls at anything more than a suntan level skin color. Look at this successful black man with all these successful black people in your white America.

Lol well I guess i really can't say much because i didn't watch it, but if that's the message then I'm glad I didn't bother. Nobody cares if black people are successful, and the couple of "uppity white people" who are bothered by their success don't matter anyway. Seriously we've had successful black people in this country for a hundred years, especially in the entertainment industry. It's not like it's notable or offensive to anyone anymore.

Unfortunately the president matters as much as I wish he didn’t.
