US university launches Beyonce politics course

wtf? at least the 2pac one made logical sense since he was a activist. whats beyonce going to do shaker her ass and call it curves 101?

An American university is launching a course studying the politics of Beyonce.

The Politicizing Beyonce course, offered by Rutgers University, will compare Beyonce's lyrics with texts by black feminist writers.

Professor Kevin Allred, the lecturer who launched the course, said Beyonce's music was a "nice gateway" for getting students interested in race and gender politics.

He told BBC Radio 5 live's Up All Night: "They know her music... so it makes for an exciting way to dive into these discussions."

Her ass deserves to be taken a closer look at and studied.

Uhh... what?

Ain't that the truth.

Don't even know what to say about this

Dabooti tho.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore...

But Beyonce is a simple minded Democrat... I mean it's easy because she do like most black folk and follow behind everything our wonderful big ear President says.

Uh huh....

SMH

Just study the African-American female writers and activists. Why drag Beyonce into it?

Are young people really that shallow and unmotivated that they need a gimmick like this?

Sad day America.

@mitran: When you put it that way it sounds so reasonable...

Amen
