I absolutely understand why you didn't get the new Beyoncé album. *Newsflash, honey* it wasn't made for you... and I'm going to need you to be cool with that.

Now, I found quite a few of the comments in your piece to be highly "inflammatory and agitating." As a black woman, I am deeply offended by your lack of due care when writing this article, but I would like to take this opportunity to help you out, and assist you in making the whole "Lemonade thing" a little less bitter for you.

You are a middle-aged, British white man. You have no idea - I repeat, NO. IDEA. - what it is like to be a black woman. And furthermore, the sacrificial, struggle-filled, tongue-biting, mask-wearing fight it is to become a successful one....

Beyoncé's album is not an attack on anyone. It is a celebration of the strength, endurance and potential within black womanhood. The fact that you are mad/uncomfortable/agitated about it is evidence enough of how blind you are to the realities of being one.
