TIL: Passport Bros = black men traveling to find non-black women

Lenny Kravitz is the original Passport Bro.

In 1999, the half-black, half-Jewish rock star covered the 1970 Canadian classic "American Woman," originally performed by the Guess Who. Kravitz won a Grammy for his version of the anti-American ode.

Not long after divorcing American actress Lisa Bonet, a star of “The Cosby Show” at the time, Kravitz dated a series of white foreign starlets – French singer and model Vanessa Paradis, Brazilian model Adriana Lima, and Australian actress Nicole Kidman.

I bring all this up because things have turned so icy between black American men and women that there’s now a popular movement called “Passport Bros,” an outgrowth of the black manosphere, the collective of YouTube content creators who discuss issues around American culture’s demonization of masculinity.

Passport Bros are primarily black men who leave America shopping for wives and girlfriends in Brazil, Colombia, Thailand, Costa Rica, the Philippines, and anywhere outside America. They’re men who believe American women, particularly black women, have the wrong values, expectations, worldview, and attitude for a serious relationship. Passport Bros chronicle their search for love and/or sex on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. They’re reviled and ridiculed on most social media platforms.

But the movement is growing because the untreated disconnect between American black men and women is growing wider and wider. Black women see their role as leaders of the black community and the primary breadwinners. The Democrat Party, leftists, corporate media, and the LGBTQ movement have partnered with black women in imposing matriarchal culture.

Newton’s third law applies: For every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction.

With no institution or individual addressing the major rift between black men and women, the men are abandoning American women, searching for women in other countries who are not hostile toward traditional relationship roles.

The yearning for traditional women and pushback against matriarchal culture explains the meteoric rise of social media influencers such as Kevin Samuels and Andrew Tate. Samuels died unexpectedly last year. He had built a huge following discussing black women’s unreasonable relationship expectations. Tate postures as hyper-masculine.
