The Optics Of This Rihanna Vogue Cover

[Ziggiy]

Truth of the matter is that this is what happens when the status of one in the relationship is SIGNIFICANTLY above the others.

This wouldn’t be how a cover photo of Jay & Beyonce would look even if the article was Bey-centric

This wouldn’t be how a cover photo of Russell Wilson & Ciara would look

This wouldn’t be how a cover photo of Obama and Michelle would look

This wouldn’t even be how a cover photo of Will & Jada would look.


Rihanna is the MUCH bigger star and draw, ASAP hasn’t been poppin on his own in 5 years, therefore she’s in the dominant position.


I’m sure ASAP is well aware of this and doesn’t seem to give a fukk so i’m not sure what the big issue is. It isn’t an “emasculation” as much as it is a prioritization of whose the more important figure.

Another emasculated black male

Impregnate one of the most successful women of all time while being a fakkit, brehs.

Serious question:

Do y’all honestly think a man can marry a woman who makes significantly more than him, and still be the leader in the relationship? And they’re not even married. She’s just her boyfriend, and father of her child.

I see posts all the time from brehs congratulating men for dating wealthy women, so y’all have no problem with a man living off a woman, while she works, and pays the bills. Yet, he’s supposed to be the leader? Is this a result of being raised by so many single mothers, and watching those mothers do everything by themselves, so you’re fine with a woman supporting you? It wouldn’t make me feel good to live off a woman.

ASAP Rocky gave in to the humiliation ritual a long time ago. He's been emasculated for years. He be wearing women's clothes in public

That cover is terrible

I’m mad I missed this thread. The vibe of these comments my goodness. Nggas are clueless.

It’s way deeper than ‘well it’s Rihanna’ or who makes what. The erasure and feminization of American black men is real. A company I work with created a vid for Black history month highlighting how other countries support social Justice in the US. This was JUST after the Tyree case. They showed and interviewed a ton of black women, ‘people of color’, African men, but there was not 1 American black male in the vid. A vid for BHM days after Tyree is on every channel. Someone pointed it out and they literally replied like ‘Huh, didn’t think of that good point’.

Point being, fam no one takes black men seriously and y’all are clueless to it. Legit psychological warfare and conditioning and nggas blindingly ’but look at Rihanna ‘

This is Vogue. Theyre a fashion publication that enforces White supremacist beliefs in subtle and not so subtle ways.
They wouldnt dare try that with White couples though..

White people are slicker than you think, more on code with etsablishing themselves as heads of society than you may be willing to believe. They knew what they were doing. Same as with this controversial Lebron cover..

Now..try keep the same energy and justify this Lebron shyt..

The LGBT FEMINIZATION of The BLACK MALE

The LGBT FEMINIZATION of The BLACK MALE

This is nothing new..every group we have come up against that seeks to destroy or dominate us has used that tactic of feminising through culture or castration of Black males such as done by Arab's imperialists.
