This RollingStone BLM front cover has divided opinions. Thoughts?

We discussed this shyt ad nausem in another thread. But yeah you can see ALOT of symbolism in this shyt.

- Why the white boy the only wearing a proper mask while the others wearing associated with aggressive activity? (This is a bigger pic. Never noticed the breh on the bike had a proper mask..but still..)
- Why he under the flag with his fist up, making a V of sorts?
- Why there ain't a strong black male ANYWHERE in that bytch?
- That 'breh' in the back holding a sign saying "OUR lives matters" compromised as fukk.
- Why that kid in the front smiling when serious shyt going on?
- Why the black woman wearing a red white and blue flag kerchief around her damned neck instead of a grey or black one?
-Why the artists chose to put an actual hand obscuring the Black fist vector logo??

It's still, fukk this shyt. Women and children WILL NOT BE LEADING THE fukkING CHARGE come any war situation, man. They purposefully ommitance of any black figure of power or authority was more than likely deliberately set in this fukk ass picture. I've no problem with strong women, I've no problem with kids down for the cause, but best believe me and ANY OTHER black man would have them besides us, not in front.

Again, fukk this cover.
Link to thread? I searched but couldn’t find it.

Shouldn't there be a black man leading the charge tho...:patrice:
We need to talk about this new black empowerment/awareness diatribe that omits black men from the conversation all while being built on the bodies of dead black men slain by police.

It's becoming more and more prevalent people wanna talk about us without us being there or (as a result) having full autonomy of our destinies.

They really do fear black men
Malcolm X said the most disrespected person on the planet is the Black Woman.

Then the most feared and hated person on the planet is the Black Man...by default.

Either way I'm going to fall into gender divisions cause judging by the fact that black men and black women and black children are being killed by police and white supremacists...i really have my doubts the status quo cares about our well being during this time. We're still collectively a nuisance to them...they just want our money...

None of their efforts are truly going to uplift black people...this is all for symbolism and show. They arent really putting in the efforts to make the neccessary changes to dismantle this system they benefit from.
