The black American man truly feels the brunt of America. Having the completely opposite experience of white men. They are the easy targets, the only ones who get “held accountable” for society’s petty and major grievances, and they are feared and used and discarded.

We as a people need to stand up for our men and fight for their dignity and autonomy at any cost. It is great for black women to make so many strides, but if black men aren’t catching up (by design), it poses a major threat to the strength of the demographic and the family structure.

Black men are constantly overlooked and they are expected to grin and bear it. Time to fight back.
