Episode 10: The Big Black Guy MythMark Lynch is tired of being "The Big Black Guy". The Writer and avid Comic Book fan shares his thoughts on what it feels like to be perceived as the ultimate threat to White America for no reason other than having the audacity to be built like the average football player and being BLACK. Mark delves into the emotional toll having to make himself as small as he can be in order to not seem like a threat and having to lower the bass in his voice in order to not seem too aggressive has taken on him. As you listen, remember this is the experience of most Black and Brown folk. We are forced to be less than ourselves in order to have a chance to exist in this society.
