/// THE half-time routine saw dancers in an X formation, an apparent tribute to activist Malcolm X. ///

/// He opposed Martin Luther King’s non-violent approach to US integration and wanted his followers to create their own nation, free of whites. ///

""I have advised that I am commenting without the benefit of sight of the video clip"

so why answer then ?.... //

Because there is a selection of still photographs of the incident in question - I can see those.

As youre always making a point of correcting people and being about as pedantic as is possible...then "I have advised that I am commenting without the benefit of sight of the video clip but have seen a selection of still photographs"....im not sure what other kinds of photographs there are apart from "still" ones...

Complain about someone being pedantic and then pull someone up on the use of 'still photograph'. Bang! Hop hop hop.

Be advised there are 2 versions of 'Formation' out there 'dirty' and 'clean' though I'm sure we are all grown up enough to watch and listen to either.

Well, not looked at any other answers. I knew she was a mixed-race pop-singer, that's all - apart from gleaning that she was somewhat raunchy (looking at the pics that seems to be true).

^^^ Hit wrong key, sorry...

I remember the shock of the Black Power salute at the Olympics in --- goodness knows when. Just a repetition of that. Is it now a warning to white people? I don't know Most unseemly anyway - and that zip was totally unnecessary. Am I supposed to give credence to anyone like that ?
