Black is Beautiful = L’Homme Noir Est Beau

“The translation “l'homme noir est beau” is technically correct, meaning “the Black man is beautiful.” In its more immediate meaning I wish to affirm this statement, that the Black man is beautiful, but as a translation for Black is Beautiful “l’homme noir,” the black man, betrays the inability of French to evolve beyond gendered identity.“ ~ Parron Allen
