      Doing a class project in the coming weeks and we are allowed to use any resource, that includes online threads. I'm trying to find photos that are controversial, things like race/sexuality/gender/etc. Just can't be memes since someone has already assigned meaning to the photo. Here's some examples...

      0_1468344829767_woman confront riot police.jpg

      It's for things on social theories like conflict theory, postmodernism, feminism, etc. I don't necessarily need an explanation as I'll be doing all that. I'm just having trouble finding photos to start talking about. I just need some controversial photos (not just conflict theory like riots, etc, but those are good). If you have some, they'd be helpful and appreciated!

            Juxtaposition and irony thread is what you're looking for? I mean the first one is ironic, the second one doesn't really say much other than it's a bunch of cops, but there's no provided context. With the first we can infer a lot based on our common knowledge of history and economics, the second one we basically have to make up from zero what could possibly be happening and how it's just as important as the first image.
