Real shyt. My best friend is from Baltimore, we both from the hood but now are working in corporate America. He doesn't fit in either now. I have dreads and a Louisiana accent so I'll always be hood like, but he's clean cut so he's not hood enough for the hood and not preppy enough for the corporate circle. So he and a lot brothers are lost.
Are Black Men Losing Hope?

Ohhh red font I'm so scarred. Anyway I'm typing not talking and I never claimed to know you but just going off what I see here obviously duh. Whatever you've been through to make you this whiny person I don't wish it on anybody else I tell you that and hope you one day realize you'd probably be better off without whining. If not stroking your frail ego makes me an Internet psychologist
But I still stand by what I said about you.
These elitist have been on a mission 4 years to keep black men emasculated
and its been workn to perfection
Just to think u have guys now a days scared to talk to women

How can people pretend as if we're making this shyt up or over exaggerating the idea of black men being depressed or not feeling important? 
Forget about p*ssy and the women aspect for a second and just look into the fabric of this country, where black men are being murdered on the streets to no avail by police and racist cacs and nothing happens to them. Then think about how black men have to worry and fear about being murdered by other black men who also have no regard for your life or theirs because of what society has done to us. Alotta nikkas out here wildin cuz they don't see a need for their own life or the next black man's life. You expect black men to not be slightly discouraged by that shyt?

Done.
Again...shut the f*ck up. You don't know me son! What I see as...having a convo..sharing experiences and perpesctive, getting to understand where people come from, and dding my two cents...you see as whining. Why don't you say the same about anybody else at this board...or do you think the @*L*E*G*A*C*Y* is just an easy target? You a lame...kick rocks breh and don't worry about me.Ohhh red font I'm so scarred. Anyway I'm typing not talking and I never claimed to know you but just going off what I see here obviously duh.

I don't even know what you look like, but judging by your name and your posts I can only assume you take nine million dikks up your ass and bathe in semen...but you should know how stupid it is to assume...do you? Again, play your position...don't speak on me.

Ive already said I don't know you don't know why you keep saying it. You really don't want to see perspectives you just want props lets be real. I'm ok being "lame" in your eyes it means nothing but still wish you would stop whining and get your life together going by your defeatist post at times. Do that and see how your post would be more positive too guaranteed.
I was depressed when I was younger, at the time I had an M3, nice apartment, good paying job, women and a lot of shyt I wanted. If SOHH was still around you could read my posts from around that time and it was all about bytches & money, even though I was pretty unhappy. Then my posts stopped for awhile as I traveled a bit and when I came back there was a change. For me, my depression was all about how pointless the 9-5 grind was, I made a good amount of money, but I started to notice every day felt exactly the same as the last one. Going to the club on the weekends, doing the same shyt over and over again, it was like a constant groundhog day and no matter who I talked to nobody could understand why I would be down. "Oh you make money, what you got to be sad about" was the constant theme, nobody could understand why I'd be down, so I just stopped even mentioning it to anyone. Basically I was just supposed to bottle that shyt up and deal with it internally, I don't talk about my feelings much with anyone, because I was taught that shyt was for the weak.
To get over it I'd take extremely long drives on the weekend just so I could see new shyt, to get an idea of how long I ended up in Ohio once on a whim....I lived in NY. After that I started flying to different states on the weekend, just to see new shyt. If my brain wasn't processing new sights and sounds I'd get
in a matter of days, my brain demanded new food pretty often. After a couple of months it got unbearable for me to still be doing the rat race shyt, I quit my job, sold my car and started traveling around the world, I've never been at peace more than when I was lost in the world. I'd probably be miserable today had I not taken that step, I still get from time to time but I'm working towards leaving the US for good this time and that keeps me like

There are very few Black men where I work and most of them are older dudes, nearing retirement. Hardly any young Black dudes. HR is the frontline of white supremacy at most of these gigs. They are adept at keeping Black men who don't "fit" out. Most of the nikkas you see in corporate America are
or otherwise give off the energy of a non-threatening Black man to the cac women and cac men. Otherwise, they'd never make the cut. Especially in corporate gigs where they'll have to face customers/clients. So, these women talkin' bout they want a Pac in a business suit are probably working outside of corporate America. Because, if they are working in corporate America, they already know those types of nikkas are very rare. They either 1) mold themselves into a non-threatening nikka, which is the antithesis of Pac in a business suit or 2) get shoved out.I've seen it with my own eyes.

Done.
You don't get it. You only get out of my posts...what you want to get out of it. You don't see the bigger picture in regards to this thread and that's the problem.
You see the subject. You see the discussion matter. Obviously it's not going to be remotely positive, but working towards it.
BTW @philmonroe I decided to make a case study out of you in light of this thread.
People like you are the reason black men can't express their feelings wholeheartedly without being seen as a "lame" or "weak" or a "p*ssy".
You would rather have black men adhere to unrealistic standards of being "hardcore" and a "real n!gga" that shows no emotion or any adherent sense of logic.
You see other people discussing their feelings in a thread that is dedicated to the topic of depression in the black community and you in general are telling them to "stop whining" when discussing the transgressions and agressions (macro and micro) they face on a day to day basis in the great scheme of American (and world) society that may contribute to their individual (and collective) situation.
CONGRATULATIONS! You are exactly what's wrong with the black community. Please go away and never come back to a thread like this until you grasp some sort of basic education on mental health. Your comments add absolutely nothing to this conversation.
*prepares for another post that tells me this is "whining" (whatever the hell that is to your feeble mind).*
Tyrone and Treyvathian get "welcome home" parties, get taken on shopping sprees and have "welcome home" p*ssy waiting for them when they are freed. nikkas hookin' him up with a car, a spot to live, etc. Thomas comes out of college with $5K debt, nikkas ain't going to chip in to help help pay off that small loan so he can move on with his life.
