Yeah, I was interested (but a bit nvroeus) until he started mentioning feminism. Essentialism isn’t really a fantastic thing to be teaching as a method of counterculture, but we’ve rotated into this very strange place.Apollo’s comments are a good example of that sort of essentialist, stereotyping discourse that’s really been presented as an alternative to progressive viewpoints on gender and sexuality, and his tenuous grasp of the English language (are only women, not is only women) and his insertion of race into the discussion shows off what’s really on his mind he wants a return to the men over women, the whites over blacks, and the straights over gays era.

The MLK quote referring to the ‘hottest place in hell is reserved for those who stand aside in times of great moral conflict’ is actually from Dante’s Inferno.

I’d like to be able to print several of these out for school. Do you have a higher resolution set available for download?

I loved it. This site has grown so much in so many wonderful ways. I’m really proud to be associated with it.

Don’t get so hung up on the “Black History Month” business, folks. This is something we had planned to do for awhile, and it seemed like doing it in February would be fitting.

Each of these men individually deserve their own post, but to make a whole series for a man he needs to have both enough really good quotes and enough good pictures. There are really only a handful of men-white or otherwise-who meet both criteria. MLK could have, but there aren’t enough pics of Carver and Douglass to do a whole series on just them individually. But these men really deserved to be highlighted and we never would have had the chance unless we grouped them together under the black history banner.

PastorPeter is so right. These men should be seen as men of stature, not “just” as black men of stature.

@Bruce-

This site is about men and for men. It looks to celebrate and define true manliness. The men above represent manliness and help us understand how men should be. A woman can inspire a man, of course, but in general men look to other men as mentors and examples.
