(CNN) — The moment Beyoncé fans have been waiting for is finally here: The 24-time Grammy Award-winning queen of pop has released her hotly anticipated visual album "Black Is King", inspired by "The Lion King," on Disney+.

The album, based on the singer's soundtrack album "The Lion King: The Gift" for the 2019 remake of the Disney film, reimagines the lessons from the movie for "today's young kings and queens in search of their own crowns," Disney+ said in a release, and is a "celebratory memoir for the world on the black experience.

The vibrant cinematographic album was produced over the course of a year and features a diverse cast and crew hailing from multiple locations where it was shot, including New York, Los Angeles, South Africa, West Africa, London and Belgium.

Twenty-four Grammy Awards.

How far that once meaningful award has fallen.

It’s the VFW - Very Few Whites - or in this case, none.

Like all awards commandeered by the left. The Nobel peace prize might as well be a 3 cent Cracker jack toy now.

I learned about 15 years ago that when a movie shows on its cover all black people, I will not enjoy it. The reason is simple: They cater to a culture I can’t relate to. That is, there is so little common ground regarding world view and culture, that they are simply not entertaining.

“Black is King”

Everything is about race with these leftist idiots today, race, race race race, but we’re the racists? These idiots spend more time obsessing about race than the freakin’ Nazis, and BTW, when are they going to show us the evidence that Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd because of racism? Can these idiots read minds now? If he is such a killer racist how did he resist killing the Asian and black cops working along side him?

Yeah,right up until the time the border walls come down and there are 160 million Hispanics staring 45 million blacks in the face...Wonder how much pull blacks will have in the dem party ,then????? 65 million Hispanics already here and 100 million waiting just beyond the border walls..

The only smart thing to do would be for black dems to vote republican..Hard to do when every black dem seems to have an IQ of -3..

Milli Vanilli won Grammys

When the Beatles were together, not so much
