As a queen, one always tries to portray oneself in the best light possible to have a better, more positive image.

But when Beyoncé took the stage in the Super Bowl 50 halftime show this year, there were diverse reactions to her artistic contribution.

Her outfit, choreography, and song all triggered a reaction from those that saw the performance as "racist" towards white people since there were no white dancers during her performance and the song had a strong political message. This backlash created several arguments and commotion among the media and social networks as viewers and users tried to make sense of the situation, siding either with or against the artist.

Yet, one of the main arguments attacking the successful singer was that of whether or not she should have used the word "negro" in the lyrics of her new single "Formation" - the song she sang at the Super Bowl. In the lyrics, she says that she likes her "negro nose."

This makes complete sense because, after all, she is black. It makes sense that most of the opposition to the message that her song is trying to convey has not come from people of color. There is a gigantic difference - and when I say gigantic, I mean immense, tremendous, gargantuan - between a white person and a black person using the N-word. While the white person could use it to dehumanize and degrade the black person, the black person could take that word on as an identity, a phrase to label themselves. So, therefore, Beyoncé is appreciating her heritage by describing her physical being as an identity and not using it to diminish her validity as a human.

Because, after all, she is black.
