I'm amazed at the amount of people completely missing the point here. He's not saying that rims, booty, and hip hop or whatever is bad. He's saying that a magazine that focuses on these things should not be called "Black Men magazine" Our interests as a gender in a race cannot be reduced down to a few things. He's right about this. Many people here are getting it twisted thinking he's in here hating on rims and hos when he's trying to argue that there is more to black men than that. The magazine should be called rims and hoes monthly or some shyt.

Magazines like that play to stereotypes of what white people and others assume that black people are. It makes it seem like we're one dimensional characters and if you want to know what the black male community thinks, just pick up an issue and read up on who the latest platinum selling rapper is and what the 2015 Escalade is going to look like :snoop:

Also people that are in here saying that there are "white" magazines are likely pointing to the fact that these magazines such as maxim feature content that caters to white people and ignores the interests of black men e.g. 5 different types of blonde model, articles written by white people that never mention racism, or race, accomplishments by people of color, or take a black perspective on certain issues.

Just keepin it real fam:stopitslime:
I understand you man. Got a friend just like you. You'll defend all that is black because you feel whatever anyone says about black people (and are black themselves), you take it personally. You HAVE to defend your race like a white blood cell fights off cancer. You can't help it. You don't know why you have this loyalty to the black race but you will be damned if you allow anyone (ESPECIALLY someone who seems appears to be "white" and or self-loathing) to hate on your race. I could explain it further but what I've written about how I feel is in the first post, unedited. The shyt isn't rocket science so I'm just going to assume that no matter what I say to you on this day, that you will not change your mind. It's cool breh....but that doesn't excuse the fact that your talking out of your ass and can't seem to comprehend that some black men are not the way you feel THEY ALL SHOULD BE! You come in here asking me am I straight? Straight? Because I questioned the content of a magazine that happens to be named after our fukking race. I get the feeling that you feel like I SHOULD be like a "black man" and because I don't appear to you to be, I'm now gay. Maybe I should throw some slang into my statements to earn some respect from you? Would you still question my initial post? Doubtful. Honestly, fukk you if you can't understand. fukk you if you do. I don't care. This is not about you or me, it's about worldwide perception.

It seems that u are making something that black people like into a negative. And maybe we are 2 totally differnt people and think totally different. I'm the untimate alpha male. How am I talking out of my ass? Explain that..

So is your issue simply the name of the magazine or its content?

It's crazy man. These dudes get so offended when they are painted into the narrow corner of what a black man should be. Threads about being stereotyped and how it is unfair then turn around do the same exact thing to brothers.

Accusations of white? Check

Accusations of being homosexual? Check

And you are neither? :dwillhuh:

Shh :myman: you must be cc00n then. That's the only conclusion I can come up with on this one. :skip:

U and the OP need to relax ans stop takin evrything so literal and serious. Life is all about balance. Yeah I read black mens magazine, but I also read newsweek, gq, many national news publications as well. I still don't see what's wrong with seein fine byytches with big azzes and the appreciation of nice cars and rims. What the hell can be wrong with that

Did you even read the initial post? My complaint is the name of the magazine more than anything. As said, If i had the bread, I'd buy the joint and turn it into a real black man publication. shyt would be pretty much a black gq. Someone should create that.....there is bread there I promise

So this thread is stupider than I thought:snoop:....the name of the magazine is bothering you? You probaly one of those same people that wanted to shut BET down becuz the programming wuz "too ignorant" for ya black azz even tho other black folks enjoy it......Its called Black Men Magazine not ALL Black Men Magazine since u wanna take a title so damn literally....MANY black men appreciate the magazine and everything in it....we don't need to change shyt in the magazine just becuz you takin it literal on some "its called black men magazine all black men should like it:damn:"......nikka:what: u see fat azzes and cars all over the cover and a description of what's inside,is there really any question of whether or not its going to be much "substance" inside of it which is what I guess your looking for from a magazine with booty and rims on the cover EVERY single issue....we all supposed to be outraged cuz you took it literally? Even with the cover that says it all? I'm sure u can gather enuff black men with complaints of all the booty,cars,clothes,music coverage inside the magazine:manny: y'all can write letters to the editor.
