Dr. Hasan T. Johnson, an associate professor of Africana Studies, introduces the concept of the "ConcuSerf," a portmanteau of concubine and serf. This term describes the social expectation for Black men to serve as disposable labor or sexual objects while their own lives and deaths are leveraged for the advancement of others. The discussion explores how policy rarely addresses the specific needs of Black men despite their high rates of mortality.
Dr. T. Hassan Johnson defines "concuserfs" as black men whose lives and deaths are used for everyone's advancement but their own. This is linked to Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of Black Lives Matter, who describes the movement as a "spiritual movement" involving the invocation of ancestors. A UCLA-sponsored video titled "A Prayer for the Runner" is cited as evidence of necromancy and ritual practices within the BLM leadership.
