When a Black man is part of that group, he has to contend with balancing being too Black for his white friends and not Black enough for his Black friends. New businesses come in with prices too high for the people in the community, and condos are built to accommodate the wealthier groups of people. He also looks at how Black neighborhoods can be taken over through gentrification, making the neighborhoods unaffordable for the original residents. Scott skillfully and respectfully talks about Black men growing up in ghettos, seeing the beauty they possess and that caring sense of community that everyone experiences in their day-to-day lives. His characters - Love, Lust, Depression, Passion, Anger, Happiness, and Wisdom - each has their own backstory, which has severely influenced their take on life. Keenan Scott II is a gifted playwright who beautifully demonstrates his love for himself, his family and the other Black men he has encountered throughout his life. The monologues, slam poetry and scenes shared by seven Black men on stage are absolutely moving, stunning and thought-provoking. In this play you will see your father, brother, uncle, son. This dramatic production is a love letter to Black men: it shows that Black men have endless levels to their lives. “Thoughts of a Colored Man” is the most important play of the 21st century! It demonstrates that it is definitely our time to be heard-especially the voices of Black men, who have always been ignored Black men who are killed by police Black men who are unfairly stereotyped and put into one-size-fits-all boxes.
