      he looks like a thug or gang member,

      My man looks like a nerd at his first high school debate. Where do you get gang member of a skinny guy in a suit?

        I didn’t even notice the suit in the first photo until I saw your comment, I just saw his face and thought of the “I’m the captain now” meme.

          You mean like, “I’m the captain of the lacrosse team at Falls Church High School”, right?

      Please step back and analyze your biases to figure out why his image fits those stereotypes in your mind.

        Please step back and analyze your need to call out people based on incomplete information to figure out why you couldn’t just ask for more info like the other comments in the thread.

        This is my reason why I thought the first photo made him look like a thug.

        When I first saw the photo I thought he looked very similar to the “I am the captain now” guy. That was my initial reaction, now obviously the more you study the images the more differences you find, so after a while you realize they a quite different.

        fr, the original photo he’s wearing a suit and tie and sitting at a desk. There’s nothing there making him look like a “thug or gang member” beyond his race.
