The Wit Offensive of Muhammad Ali
The typical white alpha male can strut, peacock, and demonstrate his sense of superiority over lesser men with ease. The black alpha male—even in today’s society—cannot. The legacy of racism, of racial inequality and stereotypes, still plays a significant part in how confident black males are perceived. And so what is readily seen as an authentic sense of selfhood emanating from a white alpha male will only too often be interpreted as aggression and threat when displayed by a black male. As a result, beyond the world of on-screen characters played by the likes of Will Smith and Idris Elba, the black alpha male relies on different qualities to communicate his superior status, one of which is wit.
