Whatever your opinion may be of the politics of the Black Panthers it's important to remember pop stars are sort of known for making empty political gestures. It's been popular since the days of the Beatles. It's sort of a shock value thing.
The internet is a 24-hour controversy machine that generates a constant stream of press. Remember there is no such thing as bad publicity. at the end of the day though none of it is real. No one will "boycott" anything. How do you boycott a singer anyway? No one pays for music anymore. I'm not even sure if people know what a boycott is.
Is Beyonce a radical? Well before you answer that question stop and think is there anything more establishment-oriented than the super bowl? Well, maybe a super bowl that featured a commercial for a high tech laser shooting military jet.
