Nawl cause I’m black as fuk and I had the same reaction… although this is certainly not all of us but this is a larger catalyst of the overall lack of development from blk men as a whole. The over-saturation of garbage in our culture is bad enough when most young people dish it out but it’s 50x worse when a flabby breh who a granddad can’t exit his third childhood smh this is what c00ning looks like in 2021
I agree, he should’ve at least get in shape so it’s not so laughable

Without rites of passage, we can't reliably predict who will become men and who remain children in adult bodies.
I guess you're speaking to ADOS because many African tribes already have processes like that in place that have been practiced for centuries.

Yes, that's exactly who I'm speaking to and any other groups in the diaspora without rites of passage.

I see. what would be your idea of a rite of passage for the modern ADOS male?

In our communities, we have a lot of seniors living in dilapidated housing, we also have a wealth of Black children that are low skilled and often enter adulthood this way. One of the components of a rites of passage could be displaying a level of proficiency in the area of construction or general contracting.

Perhaps groups of young men are assigned to an elder's home and they are tasked with assessing the issues in it, devising a plan for repairs and executing against that plan.

This is only one idea of many that seeks to improve our communities on multiple fronts, leaving your community better than you found it and having a set of skills that are valuable and can translate into careers without higher education.
