Men, especially American men, need to learn the art of losing. It's counter-intuitive, right? It might even be considered culturally subversive to suggest such a thing these days.

Some use it as a slur to diminish Black people in particular.

What about me? That is the question. It's so integral to human thought and expression that it easily could qualify as our Animal Kingdom equivalent to arf, oink, and moo. It's also a question that, whether asked directly or implied, can curtail every meaningful discussion about race and racism. There will almost always be a White person in any room where the elephant that is racism isn't being ignored who will bring the focus back to themselves.
