imma say this and i'm done on this cuz i wanna get to this billing i need to have done by the end of this week....
i'm a 6ft 270 pound black man......
its always in my best interest to go out my way to appear as less threatening as possible, because they absolutely will kill me if they fear me.......
and that's how many black men live their lives, and it is a very bitter reality to accept....so when you see these attempts to make the black man look less threatening and less masculine.....it bothers you....
especially when you point it out, and no one buys it....
i don't find shit funny about men dressing as women.....i think mrs doubtfire is the most disturbing movie in the history of the world if you apply it to real life
if my sister called me like her ex-husband was dressing up as a woman to spend time with my niece and nephew.....we might have to kill that nigga....like real talk....
so that too bothers me when they stay throwing men in dresses, and shit like that.... like naw man.. don't make me do that shit....it ain't cool.....but whatever....keep thinking it's a reach
only those who see it understand it,
you being seen as threatening has nothing to do with Black men and women.
it has to do with white peoples dangerous ideas on Blackness.
Black women, men, and child are gunned down in the street by police because of white peoples fears of Blackness.
we are seen as older (tamir rice), stronger (eric garner), aggressive (sandra Bland) than we really are.
maybe you need to take that up with white folks and instead of taking it out on your gay black brothers and sisters DU.
and I say this with so much love as possible
