Straight Black men intimidate people. I personally don't care anymore.
But it has more to do with a power position. Soft, go-along-to-get-along type of Black guys do well in corporate but they immediately place themselves in a subservient position.
Straight Black men that aren't gay or soft will always be intimidating because they/we refuse to give up our power position. So this comes off as intimidating and threatening. We are not smiling with people we don't know, not talking about ourselves too much, listening more than we talk, etc... and it makes certain folks nervous. They are used to and like the talkative, smiling Black guy. He is likely subservient to them and is okay in that position.

She’s asking why is it okay to think that. She’s not saying that’s her opinion.
It's honestly a pretty tired subject in my opinion. People know what the deal is out here

No more PAWGs, PLEASE??!!!??
She has a point
Yeeeahh, Black gay men do exist, and face the same racism straight people do. The gay community is generally so segregated for that reason. In some ways, White gays are worse because they think that being gay excuses their bigotry.
Black people have to stop looking at gays as the enemy. They're not.

Yeah Michael Sam mentioned this.
Mainly because in war if you cannot be a mate to the opposing army they will kill you. If white men are the opposing army ( white women are not fighting on the front lines.) Then anyone who cannot submit to them in every way is a threat.

There is a serious and concerted attempt to feminize and emasculate black men, its clear as day in my opinion. Heterosexual straight black men scare them very well
I watch da vid before I made my post …. what the hell are you talking about
