This RollingStone BLM front cover has divided opinions. Thoughts?

[Sex Luthor]

Whilst I agree with a lot of this post, let’s not deny the power of imagery and perception. It has a huge affect on our mentality, especially on our impressionable youth.

Very true indeed. If any black people are affected by this it should be black men going harder in this fight bc we are under represented and black women being empowered bc they already feel nobody notices them. Kids won't understand how deep this really is by not having a black man on it. They'll see that kid in the front fighting that looks just like them.

In no way am I for the painter or the painting. This is merely what I hope black people get from this. We can't be blinded by hate and not see the bigger picture.

Funny because I seriously doubt BLM is going to make it past the month of July stay tuned. Those that are paying attention know what's up.

The last time Black Men created a major Black movement was the 90/00sBLM aint a Black Mens movement, if it was shyt would be different...
Yall think mfs would twerking & all talking this LGBTQ shyt at a MillonManMarch(Something that was actually created By Black Men)? naw..
BLM was created by Gays, White Folks, BlackWomen and thats whos at the forefront as well..

Million Man March back in October 2015

Imagine being so gender sensitive and gender egocentric that a protest picture missing a black man creates phony outrage.

Piece of shyt demon

So you saying that black men in America are gonna end like black men from Argentina?

Worse.

I don’t trust any of this.. it’s predicated on historic and legitimate issues in our community but it’s not organic and it’s morphing agenda is putting black men and women (specifically black men) on a direct, physical collision course with racist, far right radicals without properly preparing us for said coming conflict. I know propaganda when I see it and I see exactly where we are heading..all this keyboard talk and arguing is going to be moot soon, if you’re not mentally prepared to physically fight in the streets soon..you might as well be ready to lay down and give up the ghost.

Besides the fukking white man on the cover I don’t see too much wrong with it.

A black woman and her son protesting isn’t a bad look or message.

Again there should be NO WHITE PEOPLE on the cover whatsoever. THAT should be the problem

Black Men ain't leading these BLM protests in real life, so it is what it is..


And truth be told White people got these protests & riots popping

Nah

This isn't true though. I've been in multiple marches with BM as the organizers.

 

[colicolicoli]

why do people keep saying there’s no black men on this cover

 

[call_me_step_daddy]

if a cac made the painting then i could agree with some of the conspiracy points being made..but a black dude made it so even if he's a f@ggot or a soft shoed c00n then it still isn't as deep as ya'll tryna make it out to be..plus somebody already said its a remake of some old cac painting so fukk it
