The School for Magical Negroes
At The Root’s School for Magical Negroes, we will teach you valuable lessons like “How to Shave Properly.” Any Magical Negro worth his seasoned salt knows that all Magical Negroes must keep their faces clean-shaven. It is symbolic of the masculinity that men of color have been forced to suppress or erase since—never mind all that. You should just know that black men emasculate themselves because dark-skinned manliness gives white people the heebie-jeebies, so therefore, all beards and goatees are forbidden. At most, you can have a thick mustache as if you were a lost member of the Whispers, but that’s it.
