Shit I'm Too Black For

“It seems to me that Manago is using the definition of the oppressors—which regards manhood as one’s ability to dominate and destroy, a kind of hypermasculinity—instead of questioning whether or not it’s healthy for black men to seek that kind of ideal in the first place.

And the whole emasculation defense begins to fall apart for me once I realize that what’s being denied to black men by these white men is really an unhealthy approach to manhood. I hope black men NEVER attain the ability to be men as defined by capitalist patriarchal white supremacy. I hope that we find a MUCH healthier way of being men.”
