The one thing people fear the most is the penis — the black man’s penis.”
Robert Mapplethorpe.
I, as a black and gay man, feel flattered by Mapplethorpe.. That a few decades ago already saw this fear in people. Fear, desire..

I am not sure being fetishized is flattering, for one thing. For another, Frantz Fanon, psychiatrist and writer, was decades ahead of Mapplethorpe. The original of Black Skin, White Mask was published in 1952.
Would you say Mapplethorpe work is influenced by Frantz Fanon’s book?
Thank you

Beautiful display of arousing members.
