Crazy how these publications can get away with this though.
Im not buying their excuse. This is too coincidental to be a coincidence. Somebody in the NYT games department deliberately did this
And for the black people saying "not my business" I mean, swastikas and nazi symbilism has been used alongside confederate flags as racist intimidation towards black people by white supremacists...so the racist NYT is sending a message here.
Either way I stopped subscribing to them and checking them out ages ago.
They are saying that because we are always the first one throw in the fire we are like black meat shield when we get attack no one come running to help us out in any serous way at best all we get is empty gestures of symbolism,solidarity and unity on some "I with ya in spirit" 
but when other groups are being attack they expect us to act as their attack dogs/meat shield/political mules so I dont blame any of those black posters that hitting the 
on this.
