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.

That show was HORRIBLE! There was no DIVERSITY!

-Americans making DIVERSITY, EQUALITY, INCLUSION illegal!

Affirmative Action. Critical Race Theory. DEI. We fought a Civil War over this. People got lynched. There were protests. People got beaten, bitten by dogs and hosed with water over this. And for what? So it can be taken away with the stroke of a pen. It’s a shame.

I can't fathom the logic but maybe that's because I'm not racist. The best thing here would be if people would just enjoy shit and shut the fuck up. I will straight up admit I didn't understand a fuckin word Lamar said on stage, but I also understand that my taste in music doesn't include whatever type of rap it is that he performs. But I cannot fathom sitting there watching that and the only thought on my mind is 'holy SHIT there's not a single white person on the stage ?!?!?!!' Just...wat.

I'm sure he's banned from ever doing another Superbowl

Wouldn't putting even one white performer in the show count as.... "Forced inclusion"?

No one ever accused these people of being smart.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nah, I don't think it's about being smart or not. For them it was never about "logic" or "congruence", they are just hopelessly racist.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago

Yeah you're definitely right. They're looking at an all black show and calling it DEI. So they don't actually care what DEI stands for, when they say DEI they mean "black". Or more accurately probably the other word. I guess we all already knew that though.
