Waiting to Exhale Made Men Look Terrible. So Did R&B

Waiting to Exhale Made Men Look Terrible. So Did R&B. The whole time Keith Sweat, Babyface and Jodeci were singing about everything they would do for a woman, the daytime talk shows, the movies and the songs women grew up on were saying something else about us. I play a 90s talk show clip, then walk through what I remember my girl cousins watching after school while us boys were outside, and what Waiting to Exhale, The Color Purple and Soul Food showed a generation about Black men. Then I ask what all of that does to the way men see themselves.
