The emasculation of the Black Man continues...

[atribecalledgabi]

The more I look at shit like this the more I see it’s a war on men.

You know what? I don't know if it's a war on men or men are just becoming weirdos by traditional standards. These dudes been out here wearing makeup for a while. The fact that they just now started putting it into marketing doesn't really change that.

Masculinity is changing. I've dropped my theory a few times already, but I'll say it again: you guys need to realize the changes that have taken place since the sexual revolution. The pill, which liberates women in their sex lives, is well known to affect hormones to such an extent that it will completely change the kind of guys women are attracted to: instead of chiseled jaw lines, muscles, and power they refer softer features and revile obvious displays of masculinity. Ever notice liberal women tend to be into softer dudes than Conservatives? It's a weird coincidence that the group which attacks masculinity the most is also the one most likely to be on the pill.

Now, consider how much estrogen we expose kids to nowadays due to the growing prevalence of hormones in the food and the piles of research that confirm plastic disrupts androgens in humans and you get a population of men with lower testosterone and a population of women willing to carry their seed.

Alright ill take my tinfoil hat off.

BC literally makes you crazy so cs...

But also...prototypical "hard" and overtly masculine dudes aren't societally necessary anymore....same for women.

They are, though. At least in blue collar work, which still exists, and is even experiencing shortages in a lot of areas.

What type of blue collar jobs are we talking about? Cuz you don't need to be the most masculine nigga ever to drive a truck, mop floors, or hook some wires together.

Again it’s the representation....i realize that gays are here to stay but.....

There are 10 shows with black males that have a reoccurring role, there is no reason why 7 out of the 10 are gay 2 are docile and the one brother who appears to represent the behavior of the average black male has 2 baby mommas and a ged....

They are misrepresenting black males on national television as gay and or dysfunctional

Tying rebar, welding, carpentry, concrete work, window glazing, plumbing, black smithing (is this still a thing? I feel like it is), lumber/forestry, mining, oil rigging, automotive, hunting, farming, the marines, firefighters

You made up those numbers. What are the actual numbers?

any job working with hands can be considered blue collar. my point is that you can technically be a bitch ass dude and still do those jobs. A welding plant (is that what they are, plants? Whatever the shit is...) just closed bout an hr from my job so a bunch of ppl came here to work for the holidays. I was surprised cuz more than a few of them were women.

Minus shit like mining...but then again nobody wants to do that.

 

[LUClEN]

I want to work mining. It pays well and it's way out in the middle of nowhere away from all the annoying people. I work downtown right now and being in the middle of a metropolitan city is the worst.

I don't think bitch ass dudes would do those jobs. Your average metrosexual isn't interested in getting his hands dirty.

You got any idea what type a health problems come with that job?

You ain't gotta be peak masculinity to be a plumber, electrician, firefighter, or farmer. Metrosexuals and lames be in the gym too so the physicality in some industries (like construction) in itself isn't really the issue. Those jobs in particular I feel like ppl go into as a combination of they grew up around it and where they are.

I think mining, steel, certain duties in the marines and on oil fields are inherently manly tho.

 

[blackrain]

It’s difference between emasculating yourself and your race being represented on public platforms as dumb, feminine, a joke, drug dealer, junkie, flunkie more often than a well respected/ put together man...

We just want regular brothers on tv that represent the general or average african American male, it’s so many gay and feminine niggas on tv people will associate this shit with being a black man....just your everyday brother not a soft over dramatic acting female no make up wearing metrosexual...no over aggressive fake thug...no nigga with 2-4 kids....just a everyday dude trynna make it...

But all we see is the Tyler Perry lee Daniels representation...and now the new age But still misleading representation of a fake black middle class that is often seen in issa raes works of art..... but

All we see? Don't be dramatic. There's other representations of black men in the media and on tv.

Then you shouldn't use that as the basis for your stance because its easily disproven

25 year old clippers? Them blades gotta be rusty and yo hairline gotta have jagged edges

Always SMMH at that gif!

So let's say you're at a funeral and that shit were to happen... do you clap? What's the correct protocol?

I'd get up and leave. I paid my respects.

I will say this if I know the person well enough to come to the conclusion this is something they would've wanted or be OK with I wouldn't leave but I damn for sure ain't clapping for it.

Here is the whole video. I never saw it before. That bullshit is insane to me.

Lol I never seen the whole video. But that shit was dope to me

According to the comments under the video that was not a funeral but a funeral home convention

For starters, its not up to any fictional characters to "represent" anyone.

Secondly, there's millions of black males in the country. It's impossible to "represent" then anyway.

Fictional characters aren't spokesman for your race, sexuality or gender

Years in the making. Slave masters removed Black men from the home. Govt. assistance programs required Black men to leave the home. Many did so that their families could have a chance. In addition to mass incarceration which, was also designed to remove the Black man from the home.

Problem is, we haven't wised up and still fall victim.

Not denying any of that but the bold is more where I was coming from.
