I had long suspected there was a kind of Black “Manosphere”. I’d seen glimpses of it here and there on Youtube, (I always thought of such men as what the Black community calls Hoteps.) I can’t even bring myself to be angry about them, or the things they say, because I’ve heard it all before.

It’s all so sad, and ridiculous, because all they're doing is spouting the same white supremacist nonsense that’s always been used against Black women. And even more ridiculous, they are emulating all the worst traits of a group of people who hate them too, and trot out the worse stereotypes about Black men, to further their own causes.

Its the worst kind of toxicity all the way down.
