The text presents the perception of young black people from peripheral regions of the state of Rio de Janeiro about webdating, technologies and black youth. Due to the conditions imposed by social isolation, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many young people have seen apps as a possibility for romantic relationships. The research, methodologically characterized as descriptive, sought to provide qualitative and quantitative evidence of young people's views on the subjects, understanding their intersections. It was found that access to the internet is a limiting factor for the young people surveyed, as only 28 respondents returned the survey, a fact that can also have an impact on their experiences in online sociability networks. Among this group, conventional social interaction apps stand out, with little or no access to specific online dating apps. We did not identify a solid adherence to webdating in this group, but we did find that even among those who have not experienced webdating, they understand the possibility of the dangerous consequences that this type of relationship can have. Regarding race, there was a contradiction: it was pointed out as a positive factor in the online environment, with representativeness emerging with relevance, even though there is prejudice in this place; but also, as something that does not help in online dating. The results also pointed to future parallel studies on the obstacles faced by this group, such as the issue of employability of young black people in peripheries, as well as the impact provided by technology on various aspects of sociability.

This article proposes to discuss how young black male adolescents in the 9th grade of a public school in Duque de Caxias, on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, mutually build themselves up as men and how they experience their masculinities in their daily lives. In order to achieve the proposed objectives, we conducted as an extra class activity, a conversation round with four black male students, in order to hear their stories and, from them, we sought to understand how they build up themselves as black men, creating meanings about a masculinity that is legitimized and recognized by the common senses. Decolonial thinking enlightened our reflections. With regard to research methodology, we were inspired by the dynamics made possible by the focus group, supported by the studies of Gondin (2003) and Morgan (1997). The study with the black male adolescents group pointed to the need to establish gender and health education policies focused on this segment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
