Trey Knowles: Why Do You See So Many Feminine Black Men? | Standup Comedy


In his stand-up comedy routine "Why Do You See So Many Feminine Black Men," Trey Knowles explores the cultural and social dynamics that, in his view, contribute to the rise of effeminate behavior among Black men. Blending humor with social commentary, Knowles suggests that many Black boys grow up mimicking their mothers due to the absence of father figures—a result, he argues, of systemic economic hardship and historical oppression. He jokingly frames this dynamic as "sorcery" brought on by the white man, using satire to highlight deeper issues within Black communities. Through comedy, Knowles critiques both the societal structures and cultural shifts impacting Black masculinity.

00:00Why do you see so many black gay men, black weak men, black feminine men?
00:06The answer is because they're mimicking their mama.
00:11I'll keep it real with you.
00:12I know that sounds pretty funny, but they mimic their mama.
00:15You know, they're wearing lipstick, fingernail polish, and end rings in their ear saying they're the queen.
00:25They mimic their mama.
00:26The mama's singing, Beyonce, can you pay my bills?
00:35Well, that feminine man putting fingernail polish and lipstick on and asking me, can you pay my bills?
00:43Because he know nothing about life.
00:48He's mimicking his mama.
00:52You see somebody paying his mama's bills, he's mimicking his mama.
00:56But the real reason is because the white man, and I'm going to tell you why I say the white man, because black people were indigenous.
01:11They was in their natural state.
