 I mean, this new Barbie movie, for example, that just came out, you know, apparently some of the reviews from people I trust are describing it the way we've seen films and movies for some time now. Presentation of men as inherently toxic and problematic really in this subtext of women and girls only being happy when they can be free of men or being in complete control of men, right? So you either either liberate from him or you control him. Those are the only two ways you can really, you know, deal with a male and being in a position of comfort and safety. But short of that, he's a problem. And I said this even about Kevin Samuels. I was like, you got one do on YouTube that you're upset about. But some of the most offensive stuff I remember reading was required reading in graduate school from, you know, some of the professional feminists that were incredibly misandrous and they're out in their, you know, their frame. So I'm like, so I had to read this, but you have a problem with a YouTuber that you don't have to listen to. Did you see any men throwing parties or celebrating when Bell Hooks died? Ask that question about Kevin Samuels. Did you see women throwing parties that you know what I'm saying? It's a very one way dynamic. But, you know, as egregious as some of the things we've heard, men, black men in particular, that we don't really we don't really celebrate that way, you know, especially if it comes to something like people being in pain or death or something like that doesn't roll. There's a there's a baked in chivalry that we have that doesn't really allow for that. I mean, you might have one individual say something problematic, but you don't see a movement of men celebrating any of that. You know, I haven't even released a book yet and I've lost family members. And I won't say friends, but close associates just off of the content. So it's just the content that is on the content coming from, you know, it actually neither because that would presuppose that the people who are upset at me are actually watching the videos or reading the book. Book isn't even out to be read yet and they don't watch the videos. What I get are people who've seen the title and my thumbnails are pretty, you know, they're pretty soft. So it's not like it's anything hardcore. It's the titles and more than anything, the men in the comments that they're responding to. And somehow those men become a reflection of my argument. But it's like once you put something in the public sphere, you can't really control who takes when to what they think of it, where they go with it. And folks want you to combat everyone in the comments to have one singular vision. But I try to explain to them, that's not how my spaces work. I want my spaces to be a free space for men to talk. That doesn't mean I agree with everything. It doesn't mean I disagree. It's really a micro thing. In each statement, I agree with parts, I disagree with parts. Some parts, I'm just indifferent to some parts. I'm like, yeah, that's really cool. But somehow that becomes a reflection of and sometimes you get people like family members who are upset from a comment they saw in my Facebook post from someone I've never met from five years ago. Part of my book is dealing with what I call the black masculinist turn. And I use that very example. You had been that vehemently disagreed with Kevin. But when they saw women celebrating his death, even that gave them pause. Like, whoa, where is that level of intensity coming from? And we could disagree with the cat, but to celebrate it and suggest that this is karma and that somehow he and any other man that thinks this way deserve death, really. And it's just kind of, you know, I think he gave a lot of them pause to which I think just expanded the content of the space. How did this guy get over a million subs on YouTube? How is he out doing TV channels that have corporate backing? How is this happening? Well, we can dismiss it, but then this many people are celebrating that he's died. That means there's something here. And now you have people to come find out. And my son was telling me this years ago, he's even his 13 year old friends at the time were listening. I didn't even know that. He's got, you know, 13 year old friends that are listening to not only me, but a lot of the brothers in the space. I've had brothers that disagree with the man is fair all together, but they've come and told me my nephew is watching this. My son is watching this. So it spread. And, you know, by the time we got to Andrew Tate, teachers were complaining that their male students were watching it. But the irony is, you know, for the most part, boys were being ignored or told they were inherently toxic because they were male. And so you leave this void of not speaking to these young men and expecting them to either operate like females or just taking the message that really their only redemption is following what women say. And when they don't take to that, now all of a sudden you're shocked. And when they address and engage someone who's actually talking to them, now you're in shock, but you can't leave a whole demographic void of guidance and then be upset when they find their own. Because that's one thing I've found. If the if a community doesn't is not able to produce the institutions that it's always produced, they will find a way. People on the ground to rebuild it, however they can. Most of the time, you're not going to like it, but it is what it is. So when you saw the loss of, you know, structures for men to transition into manhood, what do we get? Well, you know, you get you've got gangs. You know, especially out of, you know, L.A. and New York, so on and so forth. But those gangs actually came out of a community need, right? Police weren't advocating for black communities in the early part of the 20th century. So who were policing black neighborhoods? Teenage boys. When grandma's house, I mean, this is apparently, especially the case in like L.A., you had white racist teenagers that would come through black neighborhoods and throw out windows and attack people. And so when grandma's window gets busted out by the neighborhood, white kids, who does she call? She didn't call her grandson who's doing well in school. She calls that other grand one, you know, the other grandson in and out of some stuff. And he got some boys, but he ain't afraid to confront those white. That that's the origin of like L.A. gangs, if you look, you know, as some of the film work about that, it started with community need, much of the time. And that's where that comes from. So, you know, but once you eliminate that and you give no structure for boys, they're going to create their own. The same thing I think is happening in this current moment for young boys across race, they're going to find their guidance wherever they can, especially if you don't respect them enough to even talk to them. Think about the average 14 year old kid who's talking to him. You know, I mean, teachers talk at him. You know, if you look at the rates of kids who are put into detention or expelled, especially for black boys, those numbers tend to be high. And it's not always dependent on academic performance, much of the time it's based on behavior, but it's based on behavior as interpreted by mostly white female teachers. So there are a couple of different barriers there that play a role in their engagement. And so for the most part, these boys are not finding anybody who not only talks to them, but addresses their humanity. And so when these boys don't have that access, they're going to create it. Somebody like a Tate, somebody like a Kevin, they're easy to find because their numbers are high, but they're also speaking to them. And if there's any amount of care there, that takes it even further in the sense that they're loved, they're supported, they have value in some kind of way, shape or form. That's going to not only get their attention, that's going to keep their attention. But if the only way you can talk at them is to throw them television shows and movies and even commercials that downplay their humanity, tell them that they're nothing but abusers, rapists and toxic, whatever. Who's going to want to hear that? You know what I mean? And I think that's the long term impact. And that's been going on for so long now that mainstream society takes it as a norm. Boys, I think, took it as a norm, even though they began to be more and more disgruntled, but they didn't have a vocabulary to articulate why. You know what I mean? Even in terms of school performance, girls are graduating out, you know, more than boys across the board. The only way, even in the black community, technically, there are more black male graduates than female in terms of high school. But that's mostly GED and most of those young men are going into, you know, non-academic fields, right? But in terms of those who are graduating and moving forward to go on the car, it's mostly girls across race. And a lot of that has to do with how they're being taught, who's talking to them, how they're being treated. So they're looking for spaces where they're affirmed.
