The 'Sassification” of Black Men

Men need to go to war and hunt .

Now they want to hold you accountable .

We an A sassy men apocalypse y'all .

What do y'all want from this ?

Yeah .

What do y'all ?

I'm tired of the sassy era .

Can y'all go back to building houses ?

Ok .

I shouldn't laugh because to somebody this is serious .

I love calling men sassy .

Their response to even more sassy like girl chill .

I have a question for you .

Is it gay ?

Why are you gay to have a child with a powerful internationally acclaimed entrepreneur who also happens to be one of the most coveted , undesirable women in the world because following the world stopping announcement that the Avon lady and Asap Rocky are expecting their second child together .

The pair and the son appeared on a cover of British Vogue for a story on real has come back because rather than marveling at how moisturized they all look rather than celebrating the fact that Rihanna finally touched the mic in what seems like a decade , these misogynist mantras took to social media to complain about the photos composition .

Shortly thereafter , Jonathan majors the man that looks like if slavery had a face his ebony debut became the topic of conversation on the Musk Hellscape known as Twitter .

Naturally .

Both events called into action , the ashy ankle negroes and the equally skinned parch pies .

Two black men expressing joy , poise .

I style disgusting , disgusting .

Surely it must be Hollywood and their incessant villainous plan to emasculate feminize cast straight black men too much .

That's what I thought as well .

That's why we gather here today to rebuke the regressive roaches that they may scatter when I speak .

One of the most infamous contributors to this narrative is as hot in chief .

Sound like an erectile dysfunction medication .

This divorce with over 150,000 Twitter followers gained by the viral emerald colored lines edited over the photos of celebrity couples .

He alleges that big strong alpha males stand rigidly upright while weak beta males lean towards their women .

And by that dynamic , the psychological power dynamic can be perceived of any couple depending on how they sit together .

Not only does this talented psychologist offer his vast knowledge of persuasion in order to help you sleep with women , but he knowingly gives us a glimpse into the easily emasculated dogma of the monos sphere .

This philosophy paints the picture of a heteronormative balance where women are subservient to men domestically and in public .

But Rio and his followers don't think it's enough .

They don't think it's adequate for you to just stand up right and rigid like you're constipated .

You also need to have your crutch facing the camera .

However , if a crutch faces the world as they call it , it is a sign of their promiscuity , you have to understand a confident woman is the man Dinkel Dinkel .

This hypothesis led our brilliant to come to another conclusion about famous men .

Yes , you heard me correctly when a man covers his genitalia knowingly or unknowingly , that means that it is a heterosexual deficiency .

I can't make this shit up .

I guess the concept of a heterosexual man not envious of his girlfriend is foreign to the ahi elbowed incense hotep who all purport that rigid white supremacist exist .

Heteronormative gender roles must be adhered to for successful partnership .

Even more ironic is that Asap Rocky has referred to himself as pretty , pretty much from the beginning of his rap career .

The reality is that you need to have a level of security and self confidence in order to successfully have a couple ship with someone that is successful because when you don't have it , an adorable giggling baby in the arms of his father is now offensive to Romanos with the green line dangling , indicating that it is a much larger problem and commentary on something in society .

These are the thoughts from the same men that clamor that they want a family and this is woman's fault that they can't have that yet .

They are unable or refuse to emotionally or even financially assist with the household , let alone parent the child , the very men that seethe with rage when they can't see their kids and shake their fist to the sky and blame women for that are now pillorying Asap Rocky pretty Flacco for holding and cradling his .

But it ain't only the man that ain't OK here because when I look at the amount of black women who express their disgust and confusion at Rihanna not being feminine enough because of her front and center stride on the magazine cover about herself .

I think about Bell Hooks who reminded us that patriarchy has no gender as she wrote extensively about the negative stereotypes of black masculinity .

Specifically that these harmful beliefs continue to over determine the identities black males are allowed to fashion themselves for .

And she was absolutely correct .

Funding the exponential sass of black men are merely a futile attempt to restrict them to the suffocating confines of a racialized patriarchal sham .

Why is it emasculating to be proud of your partner's career ?

Why is it castrating to hold the baby that you brought into this world ?

News flash to the mono .

You're fighting a losing battle with internalized homophobia and your jealousy is showing happy fathers don't need these unsolicited opinions that are obviously steeped in their own insecurity pertaining to their own masculinity .

But it highlights a much larger problem of penalizing black men and boys who deviate from the perceived norm of aggression , violence and emotional unintelligent .

Unless we forget these very beliefs were intentionally crafted and then forced upon us during the transatlantic slave trade .

In order to justify subjugating us these very beliefs that still to this day perpetuate the church , the prison , industrial complex and pervasive anti black propaganda as bell hooks opined in her essay on reconstructing black masculinity , the gender politics of slavery denied black men the freedom to act as men within the definition set by white norms .

This notion of manhood did become a standard used to measure black male progress .

The narratives of Henry Box Brown , Josiah Henson , Frederick Douglas and a host of other black men reveal that they saw freedom as that change in status that would enabled them to fulfill the role of a benevolent patriarch .

Very few celebrities such as Prince have been able to escape the clutches of a regressive black hypermasculinity instead his revolutionary aesthetic , heavenly vocals and out of the box thinking was applauded .

In fact , it was a running joke that Prince was more beautiful than the gorgeous woman that accompanied him .

But Prince wasn't trying to be controversial or politically polemic .

It was him being him , which is something that we can clearly observe due to the outcry from Jonathan majors styling fog's iconic Jeffrey album cover and even Billy Porter's theatrical red carpet looks , we could see that being yourself in the face of a patriarchal society is radical enough , a radical act that is always accompanied by social sanctions like hearing people hurling homophobic explicit towards you , even if you're not gay or being a pariah persona non grata in the organizations and communities that once welcomed you when you appealed to the patriarchal ideal , many young black boys who experiment with clothing , makeup or even new hobbies are bullied just for trying to figure out who they are .

While those who shelve their individuality and conform to the norms are still denied .

Community toxic masculinity considers depression , anxiety , addiction , emotion and mental health struggles as a feminine weakness that needs to be eradicated .

This discourages men and boys from healthfully expressing their emotions or seeking health treatment , which the Canadian Infrastructure Health and Safety Association reports only further feelings of isolation and loneliness .

Somehow some way men still find community but they do so via sports gaming or the pressures of military service .

The lot of which is a very western centric idea that men can only be non romantically intimate with another in war like or competitive circumstances .

Bell Hooks continued her study on the social isolation of being a black man subconsciously treated as a potential predator or worse , especially given the cultural expectations by their loved ones and their community .

At the end of the day , all of these gender norms are absolutely absurd .

And every time when I hear that someone should do something prescribed to their gender , it's such a glowing and compelling argument to abolish it all together .

Like the decade old marketing ploy that pink is for girls and blue is for boys .

It's ridiculous , especially when you consider that not long ago , these colors had a whole another connotation altogether .

We don't need to tie ourselves down to these dated understandings of who we need to be based on gender .

Gender norms prevent us from having genuine inherent camaraderie in male socialization as there is in other genders unless in very specific environments such as war and sports , even the media so often complained about still only depicts men as being intimate with other men when in dire straits , which is why so many of us probably gravitate towards scenarios that simulate us teaming up against opposition .

Literally anything , any type of closeness or intimacy is better than nothing .

So instead of the complaints , we ought to celebrate when a man stands up against patriarchy and says I am not going to conform to it .

We need to share these sassy allegations any time when we see a man not doing carpentry or going to war , whether that's Asap Rocky little Luz Vert , Jonathan majors playboy cardi , we need any type of representation of black men that we can get .

Because when we opt out of the emotionally constipated mode of manhood , we're called toxic masculine .

But when we don't ascribe to these gender norms , when we show softness , when we reveal our bellies , we're called Sassi .

We call a feminine .

There need be an investment in black men experimenting and expressing their gender in ways that society has not historically allowed us to .

Because when black men are liberated from the confines of gender , then everyone is able to engage with their own gender without reproach .

We should all be striving for a world where Asap Rocky and Rihanna's child is able to experiment with their gender .

However , they would like besides somehow some way claiming that having unprotected sex between a man and a woman and it resulting in a child is somehow gay .

But to bravely browse the internet without protection .

That's not gay .
