Drawing on systemic racism theory, white racial framing and the notion of bad faith as the connecting, justifying thread between ideals of freedom and equality and actions realizing unfreedom and inequities, this essay explores the alchemy of race, masculinity, and racialized oppression and its consequences for Black men past and present in United States society. This essay's aim is to trace the historical ideologies and cultural practices, relations, and normative standards that have contributed to, and hence must be challenged to confront, the inequitable, race-based relations of power, and privilege at the root of institutionalized injustices. To do so, this essay interrogates the dissonance of bad faith as a corrective mode of truth telling to highlight and tap the equity potential of Black men's collective, historical rejections of the White mainstream's conflicting definitions and deceptive reasonings requisite for pushing toward racial justice, healing, and peace.
借鉴系统性种族主义理论、白人种族框架以及将背信弃义视为自由和平等理想与实现不自由和不平等行为之间的连接及正当化线索这一概念，本文探讨了种族、男性气质和种族化压迫的魔力及其对美国社会过去和现在的黑人男性的影响。本文的目的是追溯那些导致并因此必须加以挑战以应对制度化不公正根源处基于种族的不平等权力和特权关系的历史意识形态、文化实践、关系及规范标准。为此，本文审视背信弃义作为一种纠正性的讲真话模式所存在的不一致之处，以突出并挖掘黑人男性集体性、历史性地拒绝白人主流相互冲突的定义和欺骗性推理对于推动种族正义、疗愈与和平的公平潜力。
