Adding to the symbolism, the students are all black and it's an MLK event.

[–] wetbeardhairs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 6 days ago

So it was cold too.

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 113 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Those girls look miserable.

They are definitely miserable. Not only are the stuck out in the ~~rain~~ cold with no ~~waterproof~~ jackets, but they also have to listen to Sarah Huckabee.

Edit: corrected my earlier point where I thought it was raining.

The part that gets me is "have to."

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I agree they're miserable, but they aren't wet and it isn't raining in that picture.

Still, Sarah can GTFO. Then kids damn well didn't want to be around there.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Good point. It looks like it was raining. But probably wasn't still raining when that photo. That poor girl in the right of the photo looks especially cold and miserable. Poor kid.

Not only is this heartless and cruel, but why a dimly lit tent in the middle of a parking lot? It's like the miserable black girls in the back are the focus of the image's optics, which is kinda telling.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 35 points 6 days ago

Any camera or phone made in the last 10 years or so would have auto focused and balanced Huckasans face as the closest subject.

This was intentional on the part of the photographer.

[–] its_prolly_fine@sh.itjust.works 17 points 6 days ago

Hate to be contrary cause I agree the optics are not great. But, it looks like that because of the photographer. The focus is on the girls, the framing helps this too. The exposure helps the most, SH is shadowed on purpose. It's possible it was accidental, getting 2 subjects in different lighting bothe clear and visible is difficult. I'd still think this is purposeful though.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 days ago

Those optics are intentional.

[–] poccalyps@sh.itjust.works 57 points 6 days ago

Increasing hostility right to left: accepting and showing her misery, stoic in the face of it, eyeing SH like “bitch, hurry up”, then finally “I will personally end you, rascist white bitch”.

Fuck Sarah Huckabee

Hey, I seem to remember an appropriate song by Tay Zonday

[–] solariplex@slrpnk.net 23 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (3 children)

Never noticed the lyrics, always thought of it as a weird meme. TIL. Also really cool that it's licensed Creative Commons (CC-BY-NC-ND 3.0)

tay is surprisingly active and unafraid to state his opinions, it's amazing to see

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Congratulations, you are one of today’s lucky 10000.

[–] solariplex@slrpnk.net 8 points 6 days ago

Thank you kindly

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Yeah he had a bad case of 13 year old face + grown ass man voice, but the song is quite powerful

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago

Fkn lol what a shithole country.

[–] BeefandSquints@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This is the sort of shit poor white trash thrive on.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I don't think Sarah Huckabee Sanders is poor.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 24 points 6 days ago

No, but her supporters are.

No, but the vast majority of her voter/fan base is.
