Recently, Mr. Barton was on our show talking about his recent article The Minimising Of The Sexual Assault Of Black Boys.
During the conversation, LeRon talked about:
– Why he wrote the article
– The lack of attention about this subject
– Why it is normal for a Black boy to have sex at a young age? Why is not a concern?
– The assumption that Black men and boys cannot be raped
– Black boys can never be innocent and often are viewed as a predator
– The response to the article
– The effect that this has on Black boys and men’s emotions
– The importance of therapy for Black men
