Well dressed black men standing in solidarity is a positive image
Is this an example of positive black male imagery?

The fact that such an innocuous image is drawing such negative visceral reaction is interesting but y'all keep thinking there is a 'we' and all black people are united
the suit shyt is extremely overrated though. Id rather see those kids winning math and engineering competitions.
It was like 98 in Dallas today!

Having been to two of these events, I've met men that were blue collar brothas, some that were entrepreneurs, in STEM, and some community organizers.
Not all of them, but they came there to congregate over something positive. It's a step in the right direction.
It also introduced me to IG pages like @theblackmancan and @thedadgang which shows positive Black male images as well as @blackwealthrenaissance
These the same birds who are overly invested in meg vs tory, travis vs kayla, brunch and travel
But as soon as they see GQ gang outside all of a sudden they want to hear about community volunteering

I'm not knocking the dudes for getting dressed up, but there is zero context here. Are they networking? Are they doing community outreach? Are they mentoring young black boys? Neither the tweet nor the OP provides any context.
Think about the message this sends. With no additional context, you are basically saying that the bar is so low for black men that all nikkas have to do is put on a suit and it's a 'positive image.'
