'What would be the correct technique in this sentence?'

Hey, just having trouble identifying the technique in the sentence:
"more frightening than watching a black man be honest in America, is being an honest black man in America."

It's easy to notice how similar the sentences flow/look like despite saying completely different things. But I have no idea what technique that would be (if it even is one).

Thank you!! c:  :)

Hey there,
The only thing that comes to my mind for me is antanaclasis? You might want to search it up or something though, because I'm not 100% sure if it's actually pertinent in that specific context :)
