Arguably, a key ingredient to reducing HIV infection rates is knowing one's status. A precursor to knowing is actually getting tested for HIV. The more information one has concerning how social determinants serve as conduits and barriers to getting testing, the more beneficial to all communities, and especially marginalized ones. To help fill this gap in knowledge, this paper utilizes Black Feminist theory and intersectionality as theoretical frameworks; employs secondary analysis of the Black and Latine female sample within the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance data from the Center for Disease Control; as well as hierarchical logistical regression modeling to examine the relative impact of health and healthcare, substance use, and key demographics on whether or not a respondent gets tested for HIV. Further, to examine racial differences between these two groups, analyses are performed first for both racial groups and then separately for Black women and Latine women.","PeriodicalId":73626,"journal":{"name":"Journal of black sexuality and relationships","volume":"9 1","pages":"63 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49183047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Fear of Black Men? A Fanonian Cartography of Anti-Black Misandry as Psycho-Sexual Pathology","authors":"A. Oluwayomi","doi":"10.1353/bsr.2022.0005","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/bsr.2022.0005","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:In contemporary discourse across disciplines in the social sciences and humanities, it is common to see descriptions and narratives about Black males framed in the negative categories of hypermasculinity, hypersexuality, hegemony, patriarchy, and misogyny (Oparanozie, Sales, DiClemente, & Braxton 2012; Smiley & Fakunle, 2016; Littles, 2020; Logan, 2020 and Moore, 2021). For instance, Moore (2021) describes Black males as individuals who demonstrate toxic behavioral traits such as aggression, patriarchal thoughts and dominance, and hegemonic masculinity. Similarly, Collins (2005) describes Black men as possessing the combination of hyper-sexuality and proclivity towards committing a crime which makes them inherently violent. Similarly, hooks (2004) describe Black males as dangerous because their pursuit of social and political power has led them to completely embrace patriarchal (hegemonic or toxic) masculinity. Black men in America have historically been depicted as violent and threatening (Hackman, 2013). All these negative ascriptions contribute to the general view of Black males as dangerous and socially deviant beings that deserves to be \"feared.\" As such, many whites in the United States have grown up fearing Black male bodies, fraternizing about their sexuality as well as framing their natural corporeal movements as menacing. This is now even more apparent with the frequency with which many white members of law enforcement, as well as white vigilantes, are not legally held accountable for the frequent blatant murder of Black men and boys in America today, especially when \"fear\" is offered as the justification for such cold-blooded murderous acts. Thus, the Black male body is subjected to the white gaze as something to be feared, a site of terror and threat, which often results in violent forms of aggression, discrimination, and in extreme cases, death. In this paper, I use Fanon's notion of phobogenics and the Subordinate Male Target Hypothesis (SMTH) under Social Dominance Theory, as theoretical frameworks to expose the notion of \"the fear of Black men\" as an irrationally fabricated rhetorical trope. Unveiling this trope as part of the psychology of oppression deployed by dominant white males to maintain power and perpetuate both racialized and gendered discrimination against Black males. This paper concludes that \"the fear of Black males\" in America should be understood as the upshot of a form of antiblack misandry that specifically targets Black males and overdetermines their existence.","PeriodicalId":73626,"journal":{"name":"Journal of black sexuality and relationships","volume":"8 1","pages":"55 - 76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45366670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the leaders and developers of African psychology, Dr. Akbar brings over sixty years of experience as an activist, scholar, psychologist, and public speaker. He has numerous books and peer reviewed articles, yet his work transcends academia. Drs. O'Shan D. Gadsden and Travis Harris also work in and outside of academia. Their respective positions guided their questions to Dr. Akbar regarding Black men. The overall guiding question \"Alive, Reflective, & Radically Committed\" asks is this: From the late 1980s to early 1990s when Dr. Akbar was working on Visions for Black Men, to present, what new vision does he have for Black men? Dr. Akbar's answer is to not get stuck on the \"cross\" or the approach that focuses too much on the ways in which slavery persists for Black men. Instead, Dr. Akbar's vision for Black men is to look at the resurrection power that has helped us to survive all of these years. This power will provide us with what we need to uplift Black men and thereby uplift Black people as a whole.","PeriodicalId":73626,"journal":{"name":"Journal of black sexuality and relationships","volume":"8 1","pages":"109 - 127"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42399872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While large collections of archives exist curating LGBTQ+ local, regional, and national artifacts, far too few of those collections are digitized, fewer are oneonone interviews (where respondents are allowed to be heard in their own words), and even fewer are oneonone interviews with older LGBTQ+ Black and Latinx individuals. Th is project— Passing It Forward— seeks to fi ll that gap by conducting 150 oneonone interviews, via Zoom, from January 2021 thru June 2021, with this very unique population. Th e interview protocol gathered information about the respondents’ background, professional and political activism, as well as their insights on prescribing a more inclusive future for racial minorities, sexual minorities, and their intersections. Within this collection of papers, some of the undergraduate and graduate students who collected the data then wrote these articles exploring a plethora of research questions. Because the researchers tended to be one— or two, and sometimes three— generations younger than the person they interviewed, this project will provide a venue to allow these changemakers to educate and inspire.
