Coup Save America with Sean St. Heart welcomes writer, organizer, and movement strategist Martin Henson for a bracing conversation about a force too often ignored in mainstream analysis: anti-Black misandry—racism directed at Black men—and how it has shaped today’s political landscape.
Henson traces how the backlash of the Obama years hardened through the Black Lives Matter era, where the public framing of advocacy frequently divested from Black male lives—despite Black men being disproportionately targeted by police violence. That reframing, he argues, helped normalize a political culture in which Black male death is exploited across the spectrum—even as the far right translates divestment into authoritarian rhetoric and policy. To make sense of our fractured moment, we’ll examine how the treatment of Black men has functioned as both warning and template for broader democratic erosion, the failures of liberal advocacy, and the ascendance of reactionary politics.
