Thereās definitely a lot of heterosexual fragility when it comes to black men in rap culture. Thereās a whole lot more to unpack for reasons why this is happening.Ā The black man in America has been emasculated by society for hundreds of years. It was just negative stereotype after the other, year after year. Of course this was to cripple the black community, because for awhile men were the providers for their families. If you take them out, the family canāt be successful.Ā So to combat that, many black men or even some women have adopted theĀ ideology that they would need to be the ideal man to be successful and to preserve the community. Itās obviously a horrible opinion to have, because the homophobia is helping to hurt their community as well, but it does shed some light beyondĀ just normal straight masculine fragility. Racism plays a big role here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
