Straight Black Men Are the White People of Black People

What it means

A street photograph shows a Black man looking toward a woman walking up the sidewalk. The joke compares straight Black men to white people within Black communities, humorously framing heterosexual men as an unexamined or dominant group. It is shared as a reaction to discussions about gender, sexuality, and community dynamics.
