Take A Look At The Conversation That Took Place After This Image Was Posted:

take a look at the conversation that took place after this image was posted:

To raise awareness about the #millionhoodies march and general online campaign [elon james] posted the picture below on [his] social networks. This was the response on one of them. [REDACTED]: Um no. This guy IS suspicious. I would totally purse clutch and traffic dodge to avoid and I’m not sure of the message here. March for hoodies? [REDACTED]: I grasp the point racism is rasicm, no dress code needed. But we need to watch our PR and how our message is distributed. The above is not helping or helpful to disseminate the message. It’s an image of a thug in a hoodie. Treyon was not a thug, he was a child and this is the image that should be used. And the main goal is to make the “point” as EASY to grasp as possible. We can march and protest and leverage petitions, but if our attitude is, “read between the lines to get my point”, then we move no one. We also need to utilize the most powerful, personable images we have. This guy is not one of them. Elon James White: Oh HI [REDACTED] I’m the image of the “Thug in a hoodie.” Do you know who I am? Do you know what I do? You said that THAT’s an image of a thug in a hoodie and TREYVON WASNT A THUG. Ma’am, I’m not a thug. I’m an engaged political commentator with a background in I.T. I throw dinner parties and build studios from scratch. But YOU saw a thug in a hoodie. Do you understand the problem now?

Their expensive ad campaigns tend to work around bullying and dickishness. The rest is eerily similar to a cult. They're creepy, sizeist, and often childish. How's that?

You don’t have to add “but I don’t support them” every time you reference PETA. We get it. Either through misinformation or just plain disliking, you are trying to outright show that

even though you use their videos all the time, you don’t “support them”.

your superpower would be incredibly useful for when I get in trouble. Would you like to be my sidekick? And if not, are *you* accepting sidekick applications?

Between you and syd, I'm going to have to bail you folks out a lot. Let's just be a super team. But would we be heroes or villains?
