In this episode of Black Men’s Mental Health, Casanova Williams unpacks the harmful belief that emotional men aren’t good men—and how this belief connects to a deeper issue affecting Black communities. Cas takes a hard look at how many Black boys are raised in emotionally charged households, often by women doing their best under tough circumstances, but without consistent examples of emotional discipline and control from male figures. As a result, many men grow up not knowing how to manage their emotions in a healthy way, which can lead to serious consequences.

Cas examines the tragic story of Rodney Hinton, a man whose bottled-up anger and emotional confusion led to a devastating act of violence. Hinton’s story is a painful reminder of what can happen when men are never taught to handle their emotions with self-control, responsibility, and clarity. His life and the lives affected by his actions show what’s at stake when we avoid teaching boys to lead with logic and discipline.

This episode dives into how men often learn emotional control only through pain and tragedy, rather than through guidance and mentorship. Cas challenges the current culture, arguing that Black men need to be taught how to balance emotion with reason not suppress feelings, but channel them in a way that builds strength instead of destruction
