The C.O.W.S. Dr. Tommy J. Curry's The Man-Not Part 11 #BlackMisandry

The Context of White Supremacy hosts our 11th and final study session on Dr. Tommy J. Curry's The Man-Not: Race, Class, Genre, and the Dilemmas of Black Manhood. We were motivated to read this text after concluding Pamela Evans Harris's Black Love Is A Revolutionary Act - a poorly researched book that unmercifully attacks black males. Many male and female found nothing wrong with black males being cursed and called derogatory names and accepted the premise that black males are the primary obstacle to ending White Supremacy. Dr. Curry's 2017 publication directly addresses black misandry - dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against black males. The book explores how multitudes commonly charge black males as being guilty of patriarchy and hatred of black females, while the evidence shows black males lack the power to protect themselves much less dominate anyone else. Last week's session examined Kimberlé Crenshaw's theory of intersectionality. Dr. Curry submits that this theory focuses attention on the abuses of black females, while erasing the vulnerability of black males while suggesting that they are less powerful versions of sexist White men. The book explores why the presentation of evidence that displays the fragility of black males is mocked and scorned as "privileging" black males at the expense of other more deserving victims. #BlackMisandry INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#
