Is there an effort to emasculate heterosexual black men?
Nipsey Hussle‘s answer? Yes.
Find out why the performer feels it’s important for African-American men to lead their communities with love and intelligence…and steer clear of “homo sexual” behaviour below.
Nipsey Hussle has a point because the media tries its best to emasculate black men. Sometimes its good to just see heterosexual black men.

His words were met with condemnation from some and praise from others.
Nipsey Hussle is a fool. You can be a strong and brave Black man and be gay as well. I’m so fucking tired of straight Black man shaming gay Black men for being “feminine” and “weak” when it is Black gay men who are the main ones on the front line fighting for all Black people.

Wait, Y’all mad at @NipseyHussle for basically saying the media tries to emasculate the image of black men but in the same breath will criticize Tyler Perry because he partially got his wealth/fame for wearing a dress? Lmao hypocrites.

Nipsey Hussle would’ve had a point of we discussed how Hollywood constantly type casts black people as either comic relief or only acknowledging the slave movies.

I see nothing wrong with what Nipsey Hussle said about an agenda to emasculate men. It’s glaring for all to see. The American media pushes this propaganda through its movies and music. Be what you wanna be. Just don’t force me to love or accept it!!!

Nipsey Hussle is absolutely correct, they have tried to emasculate, kill, incarcerate our black men for years #BLM #HM they fear our Kings

Nipsey Hussle didn’t even say anything against gay people. He just simply said there’s more to the black man’s image and y’all took that and rannnnnn omg

Fascinating.
Hussle isn’t the first artist to claim there is an effort to emasculate black men in the media as a way to uplift white supremacy.
It’s exhausting to see people defend homophobia with all types of random arguments. I’m hoping that this isn’t a glimpse into the rest of 2018.

Sigh. This topic is old, dated and played out. Next.
I use to think that the black community was the lest Progressive community out of all the People of color in America but that’s not true the media wanted me to think that black straight men where just killers,hood rats & unintelligent but The majority of black people love & support Gay people & people like this man are a small few. Sorry TGJ but I’m not falling for this.
Wow I’m surprised to see you write this. It’s so different than what you’ve been writing on here over the years. It’s wonderful to see you aren’t falling for the “black people are all homophobic” narrative that the media has been working so hard to promote.
Yeah I went through a lot of trauma coming out with a lot of black people being homophobic & crazy enough white people have always been really nice to me witch made it really easy for me to believe anything bad about all people of color & feel safe in white space. I never hated myself for being black but I did wish not to be associated with the community but now I have beautiful and amazing black friends that I have met over the last 2years And I Watch a lot of black shows on Netflix’s ( She’s got to have it & Dear White People) lol So yeah I love Taylor & Beyonce lol And I love being Q**** and being apart of the Black community and no Homophobe can take that away from me now.
I’m glad that you realize the bigger picture now. Ignore the haters and do you brother. You have my support.
Thanks so much.
Awww.A comment you put down there actually got at me ,happy for you that you’re happy with yourself ,there’s nothing like acceptance and peace with oneself.
here we go against, speech an’t as free as they want you to think.
Yeah this discussion has been exhausted, and we’ve already had it here btw. Black men have been historically emasculated in various forms e.g., by being r&ped themselves, watching their wives be r@ped, being broken like horses, being dominated by white men to this day is in itself emasculation, and yes the media has promoted it, black comedians/actors have endorsed it, but acknowledging this is not the same thing as homophobia, though there is a lot of insecurity and homophobia in a lot of black men. I’m not really arguing for or against a gay agenda against black men, because I haven’t fully developed my opinions, but I can see that there are arguments for both sides.
Also free speech does not mean your speech doesn’t have consequences. Free speech simply means you have the right to say it, you aren’t free from opposition or criticism though.
Great comment!
Especially your last paragraph explains exactly what a lot of people don‘t understand these days.
The thing is, he doesn’t k now if anyone in the picture is homosexual. LOL. That makes it silly. Just because you have on a suit and stand next to other black guys doesn’t make you heterosexual. However, why does it even matter?
Because some morons don’t think you can be gay and strong at the same time.
I also think that’s an issue to explore because just like how the media likes to portray loud, “spicy”, latinas, and the comic relief sista girl, black women (who’s never the lead but the man-less best friend), the media likes to only show the animated, over zealous, highly spirited, hyper sexual, interior design loving, gay men. There needs to be more representation with less stereotypes.
Of course individuals are responsible for educating themselves but offensive and oppressive beliefs and stereotypes are reinforced by the media.
it’s about time someone lets these types of morons know that they have blood on their hands everytime they make a statement like this. I understand where he comes from with white media but stop pinning this on LGBT people. especially cause it’s black LGBT people being murdered and beaten the most for being who they are. if he’s not willing to embrace all black men even the gay ones then that post is just hypocrisy at its finest.
Didn’t he date and impregnate and leave the industry thot Lauren London making her a second or third time single mom? Oh ok… that is a much bigger issue that gays, angry black men or anything else ur rambling about …
Yawns*. Who is he again? Next
He’s an idiot. Lol You want representation of “strong” black man? Comment on your brothers from Love and hip hop? OH OKAY! Second what about STERLING K BROWN WHO JUST WON AN AWARD FOR BEING A STRONG BLACK MAN… Just shut up lol
The ignorance in his statement is the fact that he can’t say who is gay or who is straight in the picture he showed. I understand his point as far as the images that we are fed. We are a diverse group and we need to see that. We need to see ALL of our images because they all exist. But gay is not the opposite of strong man.
He won’t saying that when he was letting gay n.iggas suck his d.ick
S***, most of the straight guys loving on trannys, draq queen, and having their wife dig deep in them with a d****… so who knows what straight really is!?
Black folks blame everyone else for their problems smh
HTH the media doing this when WE r the 1s wearing these tight ass pants and ass hanging out…i guess every black man with his ass out in the back is the media then….we gotta recognize our part too
