I’m pretty sure it was a political message, just like Samuel L Jackson dressing up as “Uncle” Sam to narrate the show and one of the first lines being “the revolution will be televised, but you picked the wrong guy”
Kendrick Lamar packs layers and symbolism into his work… The guy won a Pulitzer prize for one of his albums and destroyed Drake’s career and reputation in another, so much so that Drake sued everyone involved except for him. None of it is unintentional, one of his diss tracks uses nothing but the titles of Drake’s songs
I mean, dude choreographed out the PlayStation controller buttons as he rapped about America being a rigged game… The amount of symbolism in that performance is insane, there’s no way the dancers being black wasn’t a choice in service to his message
The man is savage when he tears into someone… Trump literally left just after, read into that how you like
I mean, at a certain point, it is about race. He’s the headliner and he gets to pick. Maybe he wanted to showcase his people to specifically piss off these DEI morons. I doubt that there were no white or latino candidates who were qualified. But this is also entertainment, which is about presentation.
Ultimately, whatever the reason was it got the reaction we expected: racists outing themselves
did Kendrick push for diversity hires? or is he just black lol

I don’t recall Kendrick ever making any statements about DEI, ever, so the commenter is just being racist towards black people.
