Bad Bunny's halftime show at the Superbowl ended with him listing all the nations of America (South to North order).

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz - Not a nation of immigrants, but a settler colony state based on indigenous eviction and genocide.

I mean last I checked America was racist as fuck and glorified a felon rapist pedophile by making him their leader.

[–] culprit@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

The United States is just a nation of America. America is two whole continents of peoples. That is the whole point the end of the performance was making. USians aren't the only "Americans".

The implication in his performance is that America, as in the U.S., is a conglomerate of peoples from many places, and doesn't belong to a specific race.

Good message. I agree.

I'm simply pointing out that, right now, based on America's voting habits, the reality is that it's an incredibly racist nation that glorifies felon rapist pedophiles. That is a fact.

The dude didn't stand in the U.S., during the U.S.'s most popular sporting event, and say "this is America" like it's a geography lesson to make sure everyone knows America is two continents. He clearly meant "THIS" as in "the United States". As in "hey look, the U.S. is a mix of races and that's what makes it strong".

Again. I agree. Unfortunately, the majority of voting Americans (United Statesians?) in 2024 did not. Factually.

Despite not liking his music, I think that was one of the most entertaining half time shows (other than last year) in the past decade plus.

lmfao this guy is so ridiculous

[–] TemplaerDude@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

He’s racist. He’s not ridiculous. He’s a fucking racist. Him and that racist halftime show that for some reason not a single person I’ve seen has called out for being racist even though it’s very fucking clearly just a big racist celebration of racism? For the racist president???

“...makes no sense…” because he spent his prime years fucking kids instead of learning Spanish

Are you kidding me!? The super bowl halftime show failed to address the 401k values!? Unacceptable!

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I KNEW he couldn't help but watch it!

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 8 points 9 hours ago

Real talk! He will avoid arenas his handlers know he'll get boo'd at. But the bitch can't help himself but pay attention to pop culture.

[–] hubobes@piefed.europe.pub 11 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

He didn't thank us for our attention!

HaVe yOu sAiD ThAnK YoU OnCe?

That's how you know it was good

[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 9 points 14 hours ago

Well let’s be fair, HE should know what is and isn’t appropriate for young kids 🙄

The way Gambino's message and Bad Bunny's message show two completely different, both extremely valid sides of the same powerful argument. Love this.

[–] gary_host_laptop@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Well, actually what Bad Bunny did was done already by Residente in a song where he replies to Gambino saying the same, that America is not Usonia.

I would also recommend this other video that is also really good: https://youtu.be/Zl_GlPquElI

And he did some tracks with Bad Bunny years ago.
