After
module 4 I was especially interested in finding other opinions on
racialized masculinities which led me to an interested prezi that
brought up some other interesting points that continued the conversation
of racialized masculinities. One of the parts was where the author
talks about “morphologies” of masculinity. It is where specific uses of
racial stereotypes have become considered normal but when looked at
under a lense they become distorted. For example the author uses the
“Southern Gentleman.” When you think of a southern gentleman you think
of a white man- leaving no room for a black gentleman, even though we
know that that isn’t a correct line of thought. Like we talked about in
class, there are some “morphologies” that leave room for racial
diversity, such as sports, but the associations we make are rooted in
stereotypes. The racialized masculinity is framed in our media/art and
becomes “an extension of reality.” By studying these different themes
and associations we can ask ourselves why these concepts exist in the
first place. Those types of conversations led us to positive change and I
believe that is what the author was getting at.
