Tommy Curry discusses how black male identity has come to epitomise a process of racial characterisation legitimising violence and reinforcing dehumanisation.

00:00 What do you mean by: "No one wants to admit that race is real"?
03:40 Why is the intersectional approach to racism problematic?
08:00 How do you think of male gender in relation to race?
12:20 How has Black malae identity been caricatured?
15:35 Is there a place for Critical Race Theory in our society?
23:25 How do we step away from the idea that we can't fully abolish racism?

Curry is a thought provoking and brilliant intellectual! I love this brother and his work.

His challenge to “imagine black men as vulnerable” is so powerful. He’s especially right about how white feminism influenced people of all races to think of black men as criminals, thugs, rapists and woman haters while the empirical, anthropological and sociological evidence suggest otherwise.

We need programs in America for young black boys but there are pushbacks by white feminist intelligentsia at every turn. Black men need to fight for the image of black men and boys. It’s bad out here. Black boys are falling behind in education, employment and opportunities and the world just calls them lazy. That hurts. Then you know what hurts more is when American black men are falsely equated to white western patriarchs who enacted genocide, slavery, rapemongering and sheer destruction of the highest order.

Dr. Curry vindicates the black man and makes me question everything I’ve ever been taught about racialized men and the gender discourse surrounding us.

Dr. Curry is the leading intellectual in articulating the Black male plight in America.

He turns the white feminist narrative that Black women and white women have the same struggle in combating patriarchy (whether Black or white) on its head.
