What makes a black man in today’s America?
Author Delano Squires has an interesting answer.
Squires noticed on the Transgender Day of Remembrance how many black officials — Wes Moore, Eric Adams, Brandon Scott, Brandon Johnson, and others — were “repeating the same lines about, you know, their trans siblings and violence and a day of remembrance.”
Squires believes “the public image of the black male has been transitioned” because “you have black men in very prominent positions who are repeating all of the same LGBTQIA+ propaganda that their white counterparts in the Democratic Party repeat on a daily basis.”
This he says is a “seismic shift,” as for years black men looked up to hip-hop and hip-hop culture, which has often been described as misogynistic and homophobic.
Now, they’ve done a complete 180.
“All these guys speak in terms of trauma and microaggressions and harms and they walk around in a perpetual state of fear,” he tells Whitlock.
Whitlock is in agreement, noting that so much of “our identity is defined by politics.”
“Everything has become so politicized and people are always trying to protect their political identity, and they’ll sacrifice their masculinity and everything else to make sure they’re in good standing politically with the Democrat Party,” he explains.
“These guys will say with a straight face that they believe that a man can get pregnant,” Squires says in agreement. “Now, they don’t actually believe that, and they don’t actually believe that a man can become a woman.”
“So, yes, this is largely driven by political identity,” he adds.
