As a black man I really don't care about some damn animated/painted rolling stone magazine cover when there's bigger fish to fry...you want something done? DO IT YOURSELF that's what my pop taught me.
A real man doesn't cry about every nook and cranny he can find but instead takes that energy and puts in work IF he truly wants things done rather than wait for others to do it for him...
This is some very weak shyt to be angry about that it's somewhat laughable
Black man will never be respected if he continues to tantrum over the littlest things. It's time to stop throwing fits and make things happen.

My issue is that it doesn't say Black Lives Matter on the prominent sign.

You gotta pick and choose your battles
this ain’t it
If you feel like you’ve been slighted by this, feel free to create your own shyt like a man is supposed to do anyway.
And I’m pretty sure he’s ADOS and he portrays African American life in a positive light on the regular

At the end of the day, this. Couldn't agree more.
Black men, STOP expecting things. From white media, from America, from the world, even from black women.
Any narrative that you want to see, you need to expect to have to put it out into the world yourself. That's it.
Y'all are either cac agents on here deliberately creating divisions or increadibly fukking stupid. That cover is referencing a very well known picture and in doing so, puts the current protests in a historical context of struggles for freedom and equality that lie at the very core of the self perception of western liberal democracies such as the US.
Y'all motherfukkers are really exposing yourselves engaging in blatent smear campaigns.
A lot of the same black men complaining about the lack of black men in drawing also haven't been to any protests.
You hate to see it.

It’s a remix of the Delacroix painting
This is probably the only reason I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.
But somehow I wouldn't be shocked if they didn't reference this painting at all.
I didn’t think of it like that
Hilarious
How am I creating a division when I asked why aren’t Black men on the cover with the woman and child? Does that make sense?
I have not said that Black men should date out or anything like that.
I only get pissed when I see Black women dissing black men and when black men get dissed by the media, that’s it.
It’s crazy to see I get backlash when I defend black men.
nikkas can have their own fukkin opinion.
Would you say LeBron James is not a man?
Would you say Tyrese Gibson is not a man?
Would you say Jay-Z is not a man?
Would you say Diddy is not a man?
Would you say Kevin Hart is not a man?
Would you say 50 Cent is not a man?
Would you say Samuel L. Jackson is not a man?
The men who are still around step up..."it takes a village". And it doesn't necessarily have to be marriage and stepfathering to do that, but this is where the
the pro-black Coli gives towards single mothers overplays itself. We try to tell brehs to not touch them with a ten foot pole or use them as sex toys, so how are we going to knock how these boys in 20 years turn out when it's advised to hide from them while bending their mothers over?Furthermore, many of us lament on here about how in comparison to sisters they at least are pushed in education and corporate hiring quotas while we as the tangible threats are left roadside or hunted to be killed or locked away. So while I understand y'all want to see a nuclear black family, that concept and reality has been shattered for about half a century now and with the supposed consciousness here, I thought it would be understood why a picture inspired by a black man's nation-shaking death does not feature another one front and center:
George Floyd might be the straw who broke the camel's back, but he's not unique. We're hunted into two boxes, iron or pine.

Geez my first thought when I saw this BEYOND knowing the historic art piece it was referencing, was a harder hitting point that when they target blk men with incarceration, death, lynching—all u have LEFT is women and children.
