• Random Thoughts on Black Men: Part III

  

  In 2017, I wrote a couple of pieces titled “Random Thoughts on Black Men.” In those articles, I questioned why some brothas fear dogs, why some brothas wear socks with sandals, some brothas feel the need to Hotep, or our colorism towards darker-skinned black women.
