Is this an example of positive black male imagery?

nikkas in suits in a line. If they don't go volunteer instead of being a photop

So you know all them dudes and that they don't ALSO volunteer?

U def a cac or cac adjacent.

Certain demo THE WORLD has a palpable disdain for hetero black males. Apparently, if you aren't laying down your life for a black woman or toiling for one, you're a waste of space

Fixed.

I have no issue with someone feeling this is corny or tryhard. But I have an issue with the very same people who have spent the last decade telling us presentation (imagery, fashion, protest, sociopolitical stances via what you wear, etc) matters now telling us presentation doesn't matter because black men are doing it. They just need to admit they hate black men and move on.

Some straight up crazy people in the comments.

This is what femcel babble looks like

This post is causing people to show their true colors. And it’s not just the women in the tweets. Dudes in this thread are on some sucker shyt too.

A lot of these suit events end up being good networking events 9 times out of 10... so thats actually important.

But of course they hate on it though.

I noticed a lot of women on social media unintentionally insult themselves a LOT.

Lol, none of these tweets make any sense. It's just clothes, not a character assessment. Tweets like the ones posted just reinforce negative stereotypes about Black men as if it's abnormal to see a Black man dressed in anything other than flashy streetwear.

I see a line full of Black men dressed up in suits and casual wear with upbeat music playing in the background. Men in my family dress like this all the time, especially in occasional situations.

You might have some self-esteem issues and stereotypical perceptions to get all teary-eyed about seeing Black men dressed casually and make a big case study out of it. It's not that deep unless you've brought into negative stereotypes and assumptions as mentioned.

With that said, they all look nice.

That’s exactly my view on this

When there’s a whole cavalcade of people inside & outside our culture tearing down our image then yea.

Insecure black people get mad at these videos because it reminds them of men that(rightfully) want nothing to do with them.

You nailed it. It also begs the question, do black feminists and black LGBTQ actively try to sabotage black boys? WS and police already do enough, but when your own parents dont prepare you to compete...ON PURPOSE.....

 

[yung Herbie Hancock]

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

These nikkas dont get it yet. They'll wake up in 7 yaers once "IT" happens.

 

[yung Herbie Hancock]

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

Most of them dont care about "community", they're just grandstanding. they showed this during the BLM years when they were accepting sponsorships from WS companies like ford in exchange for selling out.

[I Really Mean It]

i don’t fukk with suits and always felt the emphasis on wearing one that many black men place was corny. however, my opinion on them has slightly changed somewhat.

ask yourself this: if you went to a venue, would you feel more comfortable if the dudes there looked like this:

or like this:
