In this post, titled “The Angry Black Man/Woman,” we take a closer look at a stereotype that has unfairly portrayed Black parents as overly aggressive or hostile, often dismissing their real emotions and experiences. This narrative can place unnecessary strain on Black mothers and fathers, making it harder for them to express frustration, concern, or protectiveness without being misunderstood.
As a community, let’s work towards creating a more compassionate space where Black parents are free to express themselves without judgment, and where their feelings are valued and understood.
