This RollingStone BLM front cover has divided opinions. Thoughts?

[karim]

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.

First of, there are black men on the cover. Second, the reason the woman and child are prominently in the forefront is, that there are a woman and a child on the forefront of the painting that this cover is referencing. And third, you and the other morons in this thread are creating division by making this about your fragile male egos, insinuating that blm is about a supposed "agenda" to emasculate black men instead of a movement that fights for the lives and equality of black people, especially by highlighting the insane amount of police brutality black men are experiencing in the united states. Y'all should be embarrassed of yourselves

You’re being a moron saying something that isn’t true. I did not say once BLM had an agenda to emasculate black men.

Only time you hear me say anything about Black women is when they diss Black men.

Anyway, with this cover I admit I didn’t look into it how it was portrayed:

Them showing a Mother and Child without a Father because of the system.

I said what I initially thought.

I looked at it like why not a whole family on the cover?

Then I see what they really meant, ok I admit it.

Y’all really mad because I said why not have a whole Black family there, iight.

Y’all coming at me like I said “take them off the cover and only put a Black man.”

black men don't create or lead progressive advocacy groups?

The tone of the picture is that black men apparently important enough to be on the cover as the woman and child.

They claim black lives matter, but what was so hard to have a black man on the cover as well.

My question is why is it only a single mother and her child front and center? Where is her husband, where is his father?

You're the only one with a coherent reason for being upset about the pic. I appreciate it.

There's black men in the picture tho. Why does it need to be front and center? That's what I'm not understanding. If there weren't any then it would be an issue. It's men and women black, Asian, Hispanic and white.

I have more of a problem with it not being all black people. Where they stand behind a black leader isn't really an issue to me. As long as it's a black leader. It should've been all black people tho.

why are you assuming she's a single mother?

Why are you ok with Black men being in the back of the picture and not front and center with the woman and child? Why is it ok for them to be in the back and not the front?

I’m saying that they all should be front and center.

I see now that they’re saying that it’s to show that the Father isn’t there because of the system.

I didn’t look at it at first like that. I just saw what I saw and I admit it.

I don’t agree with other race people being there either, but whatever.

I appreciate having a discussion about this without name calling because I only asked why can’t a Black man be front and center too and people have been upset with me asking that. I don’t get it.

I still would prefer it, but whatever.

 

[Balla]

why are you assuming she's a single mother?

Because it’s only her and a child.

 

[bnew]

Because it’s only her and a child.

when you see images of a black man and a child, do you immediately think he's a single dad?

Hilarious.

I would say the same thing too if that was on the magazine.

I would say why is it only the dad and his child? And not the whole family?

Y’all getting mad makes no sense to me at all.

I literally said, “why is it only a woman and child and not a black man with them too?”

Then y’all get riled up like I said a black man should only be on the cover.

Then you ask me this question....

I said she was a single mother because I don’t see where the child’s father with them.

How is that hard to understand?

I didn’t think they were showing that to show black men taken by the system.

Which I see now.

I’ll say it again; I admit I didn’t see it that way at first.

I looked and made a comment about there not being a whole Black family on the cover, big deal.

Yeah I would perfer all black people and a family being up front but I'm not upset with black men being on it. People act like they aren't any black men.

To me it doesn't matter if it's a black man or black woman. It's not black men's lives matter. I feel as long as it's black men, women and children there we're represented. We don't need those other races. That's not what this is about.

And All the money going to fukk head ass Democrats and the money haven't come from many black people in power which should raise an eyebrow .

If we did promise it wouldn't get funds from Democrats and black women would challenge the authority...
