Troy Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 The image of Barack Obama (by himself) was sent to me a few moments ago. I do not believe that Obama struck this pose accidentally; I'm curious why he did it. Surely Obama does not fancy himself as modern day El Haji Malik Shabazz X, or does he? Maybe is was just a coincidence... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Hopkins Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) I think they are both freemasons. This would mean the imagery doesn't belong to either - it is sign - a signal to their rise in the group.

Troy Posted June 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Good answer! But appropriation is not limited to anyone. Who was first? Whose image was is most known? , I don't know if any of these men are Free Masons, or if that is what it signals, though it would be interesting if that is that case. I guess, as more people strike this pose it will become a cliché; like the woman, in a red dress, with her arms folded across her chest; or a black teen in the B-Boy stance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest An Old Blackman Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 As I've thought about brother Malcolm's pose over the years, I've come to the conclusion that he was telling us as a people to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
