Breh the issue with that picture is the hand on the back of his head.

If his hand was on his shoulder you wouldn't see the same reaction.

Thread should've ended here.

Nicca is palming his head, B. What in the fucc.

If I knew how to do it, I would post that gif of that dude caressing Nas' head while he was on stage.

I see it more like michael b jordan belittling the other guy...

"This is my son here..."

Exactly. I do that to my son all the time. I got it from my dad. It is a paternal gesture. Not something to be doing with a grown ass man.

It comes from hypermasculinity and misogyny, gender binary, etc.

Men aren't emotional. Men can't be sensitive, feeling human-beings or else it's too feminine and that's too close to being gay.

The picture is an obvious pose of dominance, or MJB sonning Coogler or if you see the correllation of palming a head to oral sex, topping Coogler or Coogler bout to give MJB top. I say its obvious because it's not just human interaction but even dogs, will mount each other or step/stand over another, sit at a higher position to assert dominance. The Black/White photo also can give it a 50 shades of Grey type feel lol.

I receive plenty of love from black men. No reason men should be touching on other men tho. A dap or bro hug will more than suffice.

nothing wrong with hugging your homies if you ain't seen em in a long ass time or some shyt. don't take a picture of that shyt though. also that ain'tno hug that some kind of other embrace.:dame:

Let's not pretend that black men arent held to hyper masculine standards.
if that was two cacs, mexicans or asians it would still look gay. :patrice:

When i initially sw the backlash, I didnt see the big deal.

Still dont. When I have my dudes, we aint on some "ew, dont touch me" shyt. We aint playing pocket pool woth each other, but we brothers in arms. Its like your big bro giving you a speech on some real shyt, and being like

"Aiight, peanut head." And he rubs your dome and it closes out a moment of solidarity. People have this hyper-masculine idea of black males, to the point if I order a polish at a food stand, I have to say pause :dame:

Why?

Didn't read.................................however, that picture is mad weird and awkward. What kinda of response to you expect? Black men show plenty of love to each other. Maybe they should have considered using a picture people could relate to more.
