The Black Man™ is not one, but all.
A melding of every Brother into a stereotype-shaped mosaic, to be taken out and used on occasions deemed fit by those who created him.
To define the Black Man™ is to reach into the bloodied soil of our land and scavenge through centuries of racial injustices and imbalanced powers. He is neither good nor bad. Innocent or guilty. Abuser or victim.
He is whatever is needed of him when it is needed of him, by whoever needs it of him.
He is Malcolm when they need a devil.
He is Martin when they need an angel.
He is Emmett when they need us to quiet.
And George when they want us to yell.
The Black Man is, what the Black Man is given.
And before the Black Man,
There is just Boy™.
