This RollingStone BLM front cover has divided opinions. Thoughts?

[Mr.Plan B]

I think it’s disrespectful, I was up in front line with other black men. It should be both black men and women not a Lil Ass boy.

 

[The Fade]

The black man is offensive/taboo in these and other nuances


That’s partly what it comes down to

Why does it matter where they get their money from?

Im so tired of this damn question . It matters because the person or persons that is giving you money has a say so within you organization. Nobody gives BLM 30 million for free and not expect something in return . Most of the people that is giving money is Democrats which is eyebrows raising plus it nothing but white people that is doing that . The black women that run black lives matter dosent understand just HOW dangerous George Soros is this nikkas has destabilized most the movements he's been apart of . He also founds ANTIFA which is also eyebrow raising . It no different than companies on the stock market if a certain group gives Facebook money in return they want to target and run all types of Republican ads and if face book dosent many SHAREHOLDERS will remove their service from facebook .

Trust all the money that BLM is getting it comes with contracts fro them to sign ...nothing is free . BLM reminds me of Captain America Winter soldier with shield actually being Hydra .

That's not always the case.

Not to mention that guilty by association < guilty by proof.

Try the guilt by proof angle ....

Not to mention that BLM is an organization AND it is a slogan AND it is a movement.

Simply saying 'BLM' does not subscribe you to all three.

Just like them saying "No Justice, No Peace" doesn't mean they are in all sense attached to the UK company called "No Justice No Peace" NO JUSTICE NO PEACE LIMITED - Overview (free company information from Companies House).

Press headlines can be confusing but it's our job to see beyond them.

Scuse me, just wanted to interject that in the original painting, that wasn't just a random woman with her kid. That was the goddess Libertas, or, france- specific, 'Marianne.'

Liberty (personification) - Wikipedia
Marianne - Wikipedia

(The US has a few different interpretations of the Libertas figure, but the statue of Liberty is the most well known. I also heard of a native American one they used to use out west, but i think she's seen as offensive nowadays. Also, the bw Calafia, from whose name we get California.

Calafia - Wikipedia)

None of these are intended to depict actual living women.



Apparently, even he's unaware that that was a symbolic woman, not a real one.

In fact, now that i think about it, as a bw, I'm actually annoyed that he used our image in this way. Im not a mule or a savior. I help black men, i don't lead them, and i don't like the implication that i should.

Same shyt my sister said

Plenty happens in a vacuum.



I already explained to OP that he is conflating the organization with the slogan with the movement.

Subscribing to one does not automatically subscribe you to the others.

Sarcasm aside



You are saying that the organization is getting the money from Soros but the movement doesn't have centralized leadership so they wouldn't (or really can't) take money like that.

I am saying that me for example saying "Black Lives Matter" would not make me a Soros acolyte.

Goal overlap is pretty common.

Plenty of people vote for a party candidate when they are not "members" of a party. Plenty (the majority I guess) vote for people with whom they do not agree 100%. I'd wager that that is the case for the vast majority of people. Plenty of people work together with people for a common goal even if ideologically they are not entirely on the same page.

Most brehs on here have a problem with the institution of US policing but most would call the police should the right circumstances arise - for example a car accident. A breh then calling the police is NOT subscribing to the KKK origins of the police force. It is done on the basis of common purpose.

To try to discredit multi-faceted and multi-regional goals on the basis of an organization whose platform has been to a large extent co-opted and synergized is missing the point.

People shouting "BLM" in London or Sydney do not want to see "BLM-USA" take over the world. They are calling for justice.

That "BLM" cry is the condensed vangard of the message of civil rights luminaries ranging back decades if not longer, wrapped up in a high-profile soundbite. They are also 'No Justice, No Peace" demos but the press prefer not to categorize them like that.

EDIT: Confusing the org with the movement with the slogan based - due to media conflation of the 3, is similar to how in the early days some could not understand that "coronavirus" did not mean coronavirus (the family of viruses) in a literal sense. A new colloquial meaning for coronavirus (meaning covid19) was coined on the fly during 2020 and it does NOT mean exactly what the old definition does.
