Are Black Men Losing Hope?

true salvation for the black man will be realized once he takes back his dignity and manhood. The matriarch has emasculated black men and destroyed much of the community. Once we take back our communities we can then realize our own potential.
Sounds like you're feeling sorry for yourself because you have a "disease" that every self aware human adult suffers from.
I don't know if it's an epidemic, but depression among brothas is a very real thing in my experience. It just so happens alot of brothas are scared to come out and talk about it because they're afraid of being made fun of by their peers. Whether people like to admit it or not, there are alot of hurt brothas walking around who don't have an outlet to vent their feelings and frustrations. It's almost like people expect you to be cool, calm, and collective 24/7 as if you don't have functional feelings like other people. Sometimes the hyper-masculine stereotypes associated with brothas do more harm than good to the point where people look past our humanity.

not really. But I'm also not the person here saying things like "Everybody's depressed, but I'm a real nikka and I'm strong minded so I don't feel it. If you say you feel it then you're weak minded. "
Depends On what you "hoping" for. And what does "p*ssy" have to do with hope..... thats a dumb azz reason to off yourself if any. Nikkas losing hope because society not giving them any, especially while colonized, but you nikkas don't believe you colonized, which is the MAIN problem...
No. What i'm saying is that only a weak minded person would let their "depression" effect their lives.

We are humans. We are going to die. Soon. Most of us want material things that we cannot attain. So of course we're going to feel a sense of impending doom all the time.
Its not a chemical imbalance. It is the human state. Everyone feels it.
Only thing that separates the depressed sadfags from the happy winners is mindset. Happy people choose to be happy. They choose to accept the world and move forward. And when they're feeling extra down tehy put on their big boy hat and smile anyway.
Depressed people choose to dwell on their depression. They come up with excuses for why they are the way they are. They use their depression as a handicap. Truth is nobodies gonna feel sorry for you. Pills aren't gonna cure your "disease". You can choose to be happy, or you can choose to make up excuses for your problems instead of accepting and changing them.
And btw i have dealt with actual "mental disorders". Disorders that stemmed from actual events and situations that were out of my control. I have contemplated suicide. Even tried pills. Read all types of articles on psychology. And i came to the conclusion that its all BULLshyt. Life is what you make it. You can control your thought process. You can control your life up to a point. Strong people take the reins. Weak people cry about things that are out of their control while being lazy.
Be weakminded brehs.
The ideal model and expectations for black men are so wild and negative. White dudes don't need to try as hard to be some trap star or whatever false identity they make for blacks to fill in. White folk just care about living, I'm just as entitled and deserving.
I'd tell this guy
We deserve a good life because we live and earned it. No one else has the heavy negativity associated with their body, their being, than blacks. Refuse to be what they tell you to and set the standards and the precedent for what a black man or woman is supposed to be. Don't listen to anything people say that isn't moving you in your direction. At this point its a responsibility. And don't look for validation outside of yourself. Be happy with who you are and build the world around. Create a mental landscape that works for you and live from your own values. Find inner joy in living and give that to this world, it needs it.
And other really cheesy shyt. I want to beat these dudes at their own game lol.

Bold is truth but a lot of people hang around cats that co sign their junk so they feel yeah I was right when they're as wrong as two left shoes. You control not only your happiness but for the most part what happens to you on earth as far success or lack of but cats always want an excuse since its easier that way.
And to think, us Black men, when constantly being reminded of our self-value through incidents such as Michael Brown, Jordan Davis, and Trayvon Martin, still continue to endure. 
We're so strong mentally and emotionally it's amazing.

This isn't even about being mentally strong or weak, it's about the fact that we as Black men do not any real support system when we fall down, be it physically, financially and in this case emotionally. We are so stuck on our own individual anecdotal success that we can't see the forest for the trees. Clearly there is a general trend towards depression in the Black male community, and those who suffer have no where to turn. De[ression cannot always be cured with happy thought, nor do I think it should always be medicated, but perhaps we need a network of Black health professionals who can offer non-denominational counseling, or group therapy or other exercises. We can't do it all by ourselves.
Black men are fighting 3 front war with no allies and few resources. We're even at war with our own women, they abandoned the race war to join the feminism movement. Even though we've never oppressed women, never had the power to. Our image is ruined, last ones to get hired. Most of our women want uber thugs or a well baller type. For the average hardworking Black man, life sucks.
Not to mention we are killing ourselves, destroying our health with this cheap ass processed food
