Cornel West blames Trump’s ‘hypermasculinity’ for drawing Black voters away from Democrats
The Washington Times ^ | Thursday, December 21, 2023 | Seth McLaughlin

Polls suggest Black men are drifting from the Democratic Party and embracing former President Donald Trump, and Cornel West attributes it to “Scarface” syndrome.

Mr. West, who is running against President Biden as an independent, says the president is slipping in polls in part because he can’t compete with Mr. Trump on the gangster yardstick, epitomized by the 1983 film in which Al Pacino plays a murderous Cuban drug boss.

“It could be the hypermasculinity that they see in Trump,” Mr. West, a prominent Black academic, told reporters. “You know, you’ve got a whole wave of young Black brothers who are in love with ‘Scarface.’”

That’s one theory among many as political analysts try to explain Mr. Trump’s attraction from members of a voting bloc that used to be considered Democrats’ most reliable and who rescued Mr. Biden’s campaign in the 2020 Democratic primary.

Mr. Biden went on to win 92% of the Black vote in 2020, according to the Pew Research Center.

Things are shaping up differently for a Trump-Biden do-over.

Mr. Biden’s approval rating is in the tank, and voters across demographic groups are not thrilled about an 82-year-old starting another four-year term.

It’s hyper masculinity in a nation that has done everything short of declaring being born male a medical affliction.

Hypermasculinity is not a problem.

The lack of this faggoty country showing any damn sign of masculinity is.

West should go cry to his mamma, or go to his safe space and curl up in the fetal position like the girlie boy he is.

“I think many blacks know the system is crapping on Trump.”

I believe many blacks are realizing that the system created by the Left has crapped on them.

Yep. When some of the BLM people break ranks to side with Trump, that’s exactly the deal.

Trump, from their POV, is living the black experience.

Blacks and hispanics are more responsive to the ‘macho’ style of manhood, not the traditional American version of ‘masculinity’

Good grief.

Trump is not hyper masculine. Nick Freitas would be a better example of hyper masculine. Even there I am not sure hyper would apply.

Just mescaline.

Better to say Trump is not a effeminate little sissy like Cornel West.

Or a repulsive baby sniffer like FJB.

Mescaline? Or masculine?

Cornel hangs out with some rappers who'd as soon shoot you up as say hello.

That is not a sign of masculinity.

Quite the opposite I would say.

But if that is what you want to believe then no skin off my nose.

A problem with our well-educated (indoctrinated) elite is that they just make things up, then believe it!

Men should be “hypermasculine.”

And women should be hyperfeminine.

What the hell would Cornel West know about “masculinity”?
He should just stick to his specialty... Donuts.
