Question from a friend about perceptions of Black masculinity...

If for the sake of argument we said that gender identity/roles are socially constructed, and that there is a "script" of sorts -or a number of scripts or roles, or archetypes- that define womanhood or manhood within an our american cultural context. What would be some metaphors (or metaphoric images) that for you -based on your observations and experiences- would be representative black men or black masculinity? (i.e. "Lone wolf", " "raging bull", "Bread winner", "stone cold")

Note that I understand that the metaphors may not be exclusively associated with Brothas/men, as a woman can be a "Lone Wolf", but I'm curious...
