make 'us' all pay. That's the only way I see how the term 'toxic masculinity' can be attached to something so unrelated and why it seems to mostly apply to Black men. They really tried to dismantle it (explicit hip hop) during the Golden Era but lacked the proper movement and terminology to gain traction. Times change 30 years later and now is the time to strike and really make an impact. Whenever something tragic happens to somebody and a Black male is involved, and especially within the hip hop community, it must be due to toxic masculinity. They tried that logic with NWA/etc., back in the day but instead of silencing them, it made them stronger. Now that lgbtqia got their weight up, white supremacy is back to being more open, and feminism is stronger, they can hit their targets and leave a mark. Or better yet, wipe them out completely. Lgbtqia can hit rappers like NWA....or hip hop in general. They tried with Eminem but failed. With Black artists they will probably succeed. White supremacists will hit rappers like Public Enemy, Kweli or 'conscious' hip hop. Feminists will hit rappers like Too Short/Ice-T/2LC. These groups are not separate but very intersectional where you can have a white supremacist, feminist, lesbian.

Speaking of 30 years, how is the defendant Eric Holder being represented by Chris Darden? Does Eric have bread like that? And is it really toxic masculinity if the defendant is mentally ill?

We all have issues but toxic masculinity does not apply here.
And if you are going to use it, apply it to all. Duke rape cases, heavy metal music, police shootings, school shootings, church shootings, church burnings, lynchings, Ed Buck, Bill Clinton, President 45, Walt Disney films, Western films, etc. I should've seen that term 'toxic masculinity' all over the place then....not just now.
