Why do I feel like someone is really trying to push a black gay male agenda. The documentary is flawed in telling us something many of us already know. I get the feeling this is some agenda to keep pushing the acceptance of black male gay relationships.

just cuz you talk about homophobia and homosexuality doesnt mean you are gay. byron hurt is married. secured enough in his masculinity to question the bullshit that others are afraid to touch.

byron hurt is gay.

didn’t he make a hiphop documentary, which basically accused everyone of being homo-erotic and gay or on the d-lo.

obsessed much?

that video was a good clip, and both succeeded in places no one thought they would… even haters gotta respect 50 just like obama haters gonna have to respect it when he wins in 25 days…. both came outta no where and made their marks when the odds were completely stacked against them… and they both built on their success… bottom line even though they got different backgrounds, they got a few character traits that tie in together and have helped get each to where they are today, and why hate on that?

Intresting if not a little over-simplified and over-analytical in classing the contrasting behaviours of black masculanity. And in the end it doesnt bring anything new to what we know about Barack and Fif. Nor are they first or neccessairly the best examples.

Still, nicely out together for a short.

Oakley, I’m with you on that! I dont see that movie being any different then any of those and it might be another “Bout that” but shit niggas gave killa season and bout that a shot before they smashed it to kill any support it could have gotten…

I just dont think a nigga should act like a bitch over some dude they dont even know… Perspective is needed….

Those are all examples of artists who really could not do much better than these below average movies. 50 cent is worth hundreds of millions. Master P was a millionaire when he made his movies so if if this movie is going to be 50 Cent’s version of “I’m Bout It”, I think i’ll pass.

Before I Self Destruct = The Streets Is Watching = Killa Season = ALL THE REST OF THOSE INDY RAP MOVIES… PERIOD!!! Don’t kill 50 for doing it and not kill Jay or anyone else who has done it..

Very interesting, thank you for this post. Black masculinity’s place in our culture is a complicated topic and I would not expect everyone to understand the video. I wish it went a little deeper, but for a ten minute doc it does a good job.

Black Masculinity. Is As Complex as it is Deeply Embedded in the Psyche of Not Just Black Men , but the rest of the world. Some folks when they look at Barack all they see is a “50 Cent” type “hooligan”. 50 Cent when he looks in the Mirror, may not see a “Barack Obama” lying inside of him. Shits Deep. And this did a good job @ scratching the surface.

great post Es.
