    You are exactly right and correct-that's the issue that we had with our family. Folks should have told everything truthfully from the beginning.

    Dr Curry, it appears that Black males are a commodity that can be traded for economic benefits when fathers, social clout when killed, labor when jailed, and otherwise exploited when we have little to no Power. I understand that you are an academic, but is it possible for you to tell me what course of action do you think would be best in the situation you have so throughly discussed? Thank you for all of your work. I wish you health and blessing on you and yours.

    I was surprised while reading these slave narratives by the stark difference between some of these reports. I noticed that when I read Indiana's narratives( where I was born) vs. Alabama's narratives. They seemed to be alot more truthful in Indiana. The punishments were way more harsh or they did not not make an excuse for poor treatment. I found information from two WPA slave narratives for my family. For me, I think that the great depression and the lack of blacks' upward mobility during the 1930s contributed greatly to the overall tone of the interviews. I also do believe that maybe world war ii's treatement of different races had a different skin tone and new attitude to treatment like this. For me-it didn't make any sense or it worked backwards for WPA interviewers trying to correct history. I know that in 2023- anything associated with slavery was primarily negative. Also, what my grandparents had to go through living in a segregated community.

    Love Curry's work. My only contention is that we can't eliminate the idea that black men and black people in general do chase after white manhood. He's contradicted that himself in stating how this system rewards elite intellectuals to stand against the poor, working class man. Who is doing the rewarding and what are they rewarding with? White ideas of manhood are marketed to black men in the form of money, fame, notoriety and etc., in which we are not able to obtain by an large but merely a few of us? This doesn't change the potency of Curry's rebuttal to the black liberal (often feminist) academic but I think he's arguing against them when they say "we chase white manhood" when they don't exactly understand what they even mean or the complexities of it. Amos Wilson's work flushes this out more. Sylvia Wynter's even states this in her work in stating that the West is trying to turn us into white middle class men. What does Curry think that means if that's not what black men (and women) are chasing. There's a nuance there that I think he could fledge out and it would be more potent and less of a binary. I get what he's saying but I wouldn't let white manhood off the hook like that.
