In this video, Fiq returns to look at images of black men in movies and looks at the seemingly odd paradox of the overall absence of light-skinned black men from the media spotlight, at least compared to their darker peers. In investigating this phenomenon, Fiq looks at how shades of blackness affect black men outside of media, the mythology behind black men's sexuality, and the ways that this comes across on screen.
