Who's the Man?

In my opinion both men from "The Male Myth" and "The Black Male" are equally as masculine. Not all men are the same and to compare one to the other is unfair, because not every man or person for that matter behaves the same. The idea of masculinity can differ from person to person from one culture to the other. To where as black male in general have gone through many hurdles through time, Paul also went through struggles clearly not as hard as black men did but nevertheless he still had his hurdles. Both man were born the same but grew up in different circumstances so to place one idea of what a men is supposed to be like to two man who grew up in differently i find it not so reasonable.
