Explain the “cool pose” and its implications on young Black men.
What will be an ideal response?
The “cool pose” refers to a set of behaviors and scripts for Black men that developed in response to racial oppression. This cool pose is a strategy that Black men may use to maintain their sense of self-worth and resist racial oppression. However, it comes with a cost. Like traditional masculinity, the cool pose is demanding in its narrow construction of masculinity and may have negative implications, such as higher aggression levels and lower levels of vulnerability and emotion expression, which can lead to negative mental and physical health implications.
