Blackness and Maleness

Men of all races are killed by the police at higher rates than black women, for example. Black women are killed more than white and Asian women, but still less than white and Asian men. The sex disparity is much bigger than the very real racial disparity.

I think you're right about this, it's also evidenced in the way black men are fetishised.

Race is definitely a factor for black women.

Black people as a whole get stereotyped as being more masculine relative to white people.

So for black men it results in them being perceived as hypermasculine and aggressive but also hypersexual. You can see it in a lot of negative stereotypes of black men e.g. more prone to crime/ violence, and more likely to vi*late women especially if they're white. It also feeds into positive stereotypes as well, such as black men being "inherently" good at sports as well as the whole larger genitals thing.

Black women typically get stereotyped as being loud and aggressive as well. This is part of the reason why the "sassy black woman" stereotype exists in the first place. Which is also the reason why black women are typically perceived as the least attractive group of women for men to date as they're seen as too masculine.

Interestingly, this stereotype is reversed when it comes to East-Asians. East Asian men get stereotyped as being less masculine/ more effeminate compared to white men, which is where the "Asian men all have small genitals" stereotype comes into play. East Asian women get stereotypes as being more feminine that white women, which is why they get fetishised so much online, especially by right wing/ red pill guys as more feminine and submissive compared to modern western women.

I’ve seen supposed BreadTubers try to say that black men only suffer from their blackness. They conveniently exclude the fact that they are also male. I think it’s obvious (at least to me) why they do this.

If black men are not only discriminated from their blackness but also their maleness that what does that mean for black women? Hell, what does it even mean for white men? The answer to me is quite simple. The privileges that white men get don’t consistently transfer over to black men and the privileges that white women get don’t consistently transfer over to black women. Both white men and black men get male specifics disadvantages but black men get them more often. The same can be said for black women and white women.

Examples:

All men experience longer sentencing. Black/brown men get longer.

I’m not sure where black/brown women lie when it comes to sentencing when you include white men.

All women experience catcalling. Black/brown women get it more often.

I’ve also heard a story of a black woman being harassed on the street only to then witness a white person grip their bag while she was on the elevator that same day. Here’s the thing that I think people forget. Black women were also lynched. Yes, it wasn’t as much as black men but it did happen. Black people in general are seen as more resilient. That’s why black men and women are hyper masculinized. It’s the reason why black people in general have almost similar experiences.

The advantage of being protected by social standards due to being seen as weaker are placed on all women only black/brown women receive it less. While black women aren’t as protected you will still hear “you can’t hit back, that’s a female.” Yes, black women get privileges too. Black men have to experience MGM at birth, black women do not. The list continues (you guys know what they are by now). I could go on but I think you get the idea.

As a black male I would love to add my own lived experience but I have to snooze yall 🥱😴

"is race only a negative factor when one is male? "

Well, a small demographic of white men are racists, and will say that black people are the most violent so blacks need to be shipped out of the country. Meanwhile white feminist women will point out that it's men of all races who are violent, which means white men are more violent than black women. So if we're shipping violent people, the same people saying blacks need to go, should be going, while black women should be staying.

So yeah, some people try to make it appear that race is the same negative as a black woman as it is for black men, but other groups have different views of it.

As a black man I learned to shrink myself and make my voice higher because people would be so scared of me. I disliked people being afraid of me.

My understanding is that the one thing that black women suffer most is by being the most invisible in society. (Source)

I wish, in general, we could figure out blackness and whiteness and figure things out in society.

The comparison is so apt that you can basically swap "female" for "white" and "male" for "black" in any gender debate to expose how regressive female chauvinists actually are.

If it sounds bad when you apply the same issue to race, its bad when applied to gender, too.

There is a whole subreddit that does this, r/menkampf you may be interested in, albeit more often with jews instead of black people.
