In 2018 social media has produced another internet star with a video posted by Robert Miller to Facebook. The video shows Miller learning how to do a striptease lap dance and it has sparked a discussion about Black male imagery and masculinity. As the video racked up millions of views in a few days, Miller posted the following on his page “Dear Facebook, look what u did. Made me change my name from SumthnSeriousTheFame to my gvt name. Now im stuck with that. Ugh!!!”


Viewers of the video are also stuck because “that which is seen cannot be unseen.”
