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.
