Context
Note: Please be aware that swear words and offensive expressions are used intermittently in some of these music videos. Much of the time these words are appropriate to the musical context. Offensive terms like ‘nigger’ are used by Beyoncé to culturally reclaim the term and take ownership of the African American experience. In the process of reclaiming the term ‘bitch’ she takes the power away from those who seek to use it to discriminate against females.
