What do some Republicans have against Beyonce and Jay-Z?

[Suburbia]

I like some of their music, some of their music can be too explicit, and I am not a Republican. I'm a proud Independent. However, I've noticed some Republicans in the media have thrown some vitriol against the superstar music couple. Why is that so?

[bagelman]

They are both trashy people who make awful music. What do you expect of corporate owned Hollywood celebrities?

Also, while race has nothing to do with why I don't like them, other might have, err, differing, uhh, attitudes.

[dead0man]

I couldn't pick either one of them out of a line up of similar celebrities.  I'm pretty sure Jay-Z is black so I'd know the difference between him and Macklemore, I have no idea about her.

[Lief 🗽]

Uh, because they're uppity blacks. Is this thread serious?

Some of their music is good....

They're successful black people who are friends with Obama.

EDIT: Really trying to be nicer on this site.  But this is a ridiculous post, and I think some of you red avatars need a nice, friendly slap in the face to generate a more down to earth attitude.

I'm not a republican, but I don't like Beyoncé because my sister doesn't seem to know how to stop singing her songs.

Who is that, Cam'ron? I think Bill O'Reilly had him on his show a few years ago ranting about black music.

Because they're Hollywood celebrities who vocally supported Hillary Clinton. Why wouldn't Republicans hate them?

[Santander]

Because they're awful people who make bad music.

This. Obviously.

Who's Macklemore and Jay-Z?

Well, I mean, Magna Carta Holy Grail was a pretty disappointing entry to Jay Z's discography.

[Roronoa D. Law]

I think alot of it has to do with the reason that they are black. Other than the Charleston Shooting I can't name many instances in which Republicans praise, show condolences, or even show respect for anybody in the African American community in fact the opposite.
