Neal describes that race and patriarchy has put the black men into an “invisible” category. This category establishes the Black men’s identity as the “New Black Man". In the upper middle class, Neal explains the formation of masculinity represented by "The New Talented Tenth" and the lower class is represented by the “Hip-Hop Thug” stereotype. This reminds me of my writing 140 class when we did an essay on intersectionality. There are many different factors that effect people based on their gender, race and class.
