3) Even before Du Bois theorized the emasculation of black men as an attenuate of slavery (speaking as he did of the "red stain of bastardy") and the twin evils of segregation and poverty, Frederick Douglass had already discursively connected racial oppression and black emasculation. These encompass nearly everything except the proverbial kitchen sink: scriptures (1) and dogma; "spiritual addiction" to apocalyptic visions; poverty, national humiliation, failed governance; (2) emasculation and sexual frustration; (3) equation of ultimacy with absoluteness; (4) cognitive dissonance arising when claims to absolute truth are not born out in reality; (5) the linking of religious claims with national or ethnic goals (6) and of course, the type of god one worships. Students confronted these attempts of emasculation through a brave, impetuous, and heroic rebellion. |
