Don't matter what he looked like..Black Jesus or the watered down, Hollywood version of Jesus?
It's simply a term to describe the social hierarchy men naturally divide themselves.
Any time a group of men gather together for any task, a clear pecking order is formed based on knowledge, ability, and assertiveness (unless a woman is introduced to the group and the focus shifts to proving themselves to be a worthy mate).
The men who just sort of get in where they fit in are betas, those who are leaders of men are alpha. Honestly, even if men deny it we all know it to be true.
Do you even socialize with other men without women being present? Serious question.
Even something as simple as helping my grandfather tear his barn down, a clear hierarchy was formed, my dad was the point man and directed everybody and my uncles and me fell in line.
Or at any job thats how it goes. the whole "everybody is equal" and "everybody's contribution is just as important as everyone else's" is a purely childish/ feminine line of thinking.
It reeks of insecurities when you have to think like that. Just because you in a position of authority doesn't make you alpha. That's basic thinking. You pops probably had more experience tearing down barns so of course he would guide
