This RollingStone BLM front cover has divided opinions. Thoughts?

My beef is, I’ve seen a concerted effort for decades to never portray a strong healthy black family. Be it in advertising, news, entertainment.. there’s either a broken home or dysfunction. This is by design and not coincidence.
Bingo.

The destruction of the nuclear black family unit continues.

I keep that problem solver on my hip at all times when I go out:francis:

shyt is getting spookier by the day.

All day, my guy. ALL DAY.

I’m concerned about these keyboarders who ain’t ready for this bullshyt coming down. nikkas gonna be screaming “We gotta vote!” and “We gotta march !” while these white folks trying to string you up by the ankles.

Tired of the mind games, tired of the propaganda..folks need to be geared up and ready to defend at a moment’s notice.

We are at war. Do you not understand how cacs use propaganda in warfare?
Yes I do and it's clearly working on you. You're on here in your feelings about a picture. What about the videos of cacs killing black men in public? What about the pictures of black men hanging from trees by their necks?

They have you in here wasting time about a picture and not using your time to fight for real issues. They have you mad at another black man while theyre relaxing in their homes after treating black people like sub humans. So yeah go ahead and be mad at the painter and me. You're doing exactly what they want you to do. Divide and conquer. I know exactly how propaganda works

I swear I hate being under NDA’s..some of you folks are clueless as to how asymmetrical the psychological warfare blueprint is towards minorities, especially black folks. It is what it is.

We've reached a point where people are genuinely saying it's a negative image to see a black woman and child lead the March over the death of their black men. :mjlol:

So you're implying that the two in the front are the ones leading the battle over the death of their husband/father? If they were characters in a story with an already established lore, with names that were already given, then that would have been quite fine. But the fact that who ever commissioned this shyt made sure to show no powerful, threatening, proud, defiant black men in this fight....FOR BLACK, fukkING PEOPLE....is not something anyone who cares about this shyt should simply gloss over.

And to the folk saying "I'm seeing Black men:heh:" Y'all can't be talking about them docile caricatures on the left? A black man, in a multiracial crowd holding a sign (With a weird looking lip, I might add. He biting that shyt?:scusthov:) saying "OUR" on that shyt automatically includes ERRYONE in the fukking crowd which is basically a covert way of shoehorning "All lives matter" without saying it explicitly.

The other brother on his knees consoling Logic Lamar for his own reasons looking down like he prolly trying not to cry too with his shades on, with the only other actual brother all the way in the back, with his face obscured...by the head of another protester, deliberately I might add because the artist had to DRAW said person as opposed to having his face blocked out by natural placement like one would find in a photograph taken without direction.

Couple all of that shyt with the Black Fist Vector sign being obscured and some crude effigy on the far right that almost looks like a "BLM" and you got all the symbolism you need for this shyt.

I got no problem with women and kids down for the cause, but let's not act like they're gonna be on the front lines alone if Black folk gotta actually start fighting back with Fist and Fire. I'd forgive it even if they had a strong looking pre-teen black kid on the front, not that little smiling homey that instantly takes away any seriousness you should have for him up at the front, grinning like they going out to go play Soldier or some shyt.

You can call these reaches, and I'm not gonna act like I'm some sort of super perspective militant cat, but when you see it and what they blocked out of it and omitted on purpose, it should piss you off as a black person, male or female.
