black culture and masculinity?

WHere can i find text or website that might shine some factual insight on the meaning of masculine, in the eyes of a black man? Or Opinions.I Im writing about the expectations of ones self, preferably males because this would be something that concerns them in particular. But in contrast to that thought, Masculinity does it have an orientation? Can women remind you of masculine and how? Is masculine lught dark, none?

Update:

I know it is individual outlook. that is exactly why im asking on yahoo.. I attend on learning from individual opinion to prove my statement that men in general have subconscious meaning embedded in our culture portraying the destiny of our gender based off of previously established gender roles.. Im asking someone to break down in words descriptively .. Masculinity an as detailed as possible, there is no wrong answer

(sorry for the run ons)

    Black men are likely to have different views on the meaning of "masculine" depending on the Black man in question since all do not share the same views, or, for the most part, to Blacks, "masculinity" is no different from how "masculinity" is normally defined, which refers to the trait of behaving in ways considered typical for men, or the properties characteristic of the male sex, such as male exclusive body parts and etc. Still, for more information on what you want, which is some other Black men might personally define it, give the blog site "Black Masculinity" a look. According to the site, "The Journal of Black Masculinity is an international peer-reviewed publication that provides multiple perspectives and analyses of Black and Multi-racial Masculinities across the Diaspora." As for you other question, masculinity is nothing more than the trait of behaving in ways considered typical for men, or the properties characteristic of the male sex, which does not have an "orientation." As for your other two question, I cannot understand them, but behaviours and characteristics of a biological sex does not have "light" or "dark" colours.
