Are Black Men Losing Hope?

[Wild self]

its clear u dont understand what im saying

when i say leader , i mean a take charge guy, masculine ,Protector, ur a women uk what im talking

these guys these days dont have it

which is y u have these soft ass punks crying "girls only like bad boys boo hoo"

Nah, blakc men are multi-dimensional. You think that black men are super alpha males that have a street edge or some Young Thug shyt. If you over 30 and still talk about "thuggin it out" like it is still the late 90s, then you are so far behind in life.

yup of course they are....we re systematically being marginalized from society....BM are done...cacs arent hiring, even if u have a degree and been a model citizen....the dope game is done....we give up the rap game to cacs so that's done.....

BW aint fukking with us if not not getting $, but u cant get $...so now they'll leave u and whore themselves out for their white daddies for designer bag $

Society look @ ua as a savage and monster, cops are ready to violate ua because nobody cares if they do

they media promotes u as buffoons and animals so the world see us as nothing @ all



that's why we need to come together and work to together and build a economic base but in reality that wont happen so these young chief keefs about to rise up and go from savages and turn into some lil nat turners...thats what america asked for tho

Well damn.

The Russians have predicted eventually America will end civil war. It is crystal clear, the seeds are being planted

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).*

You say the same defeatist shyt in fifty-leven threads for props that's why I said you should try to find peace off of here. You been saying the same shyt for awhile which usually is a sign something is going on you have problems with but act however you deem is best for you. I just hope it helps you in the long run and no need to try use the I'm against black people rally cry this me and you responding. Are you on the narcotic? I said nothing about nobody being a lame, p*ssy, or anything else. I also don't remember mentioning or implying somebody should be a real nikka and or hardcore. fukk does that even mean in regards to this convo? Stop making stuff up man facts only.

I'm not whats wrong with the black community. People as individuals have to make the best decisions for themselves but personally self accountability is missing from a lot of people period and that stops people from making the best decisions. Its always some other forces fault not that person at all and I just believe that's destructive so I say something about it. I don't expect you to agree but I don't care we can agree to disagree. Its ok still don't change what I think about you based on your post so keep analyzing me and how I bathe in semen right? Lol I take showers only with relatively fresh water (well that's what the city says) lol so I can't do that but funny anyway.

On the real...I think depression is just a major symptom of America; it has nothin to do with the quality of your life. I've been to places where the standard of living is much lower than it is here, but in some of those areas I've noticed that the people are collectively happy.

I believe a big part of this is the media in America. In this technology age we're in, the youth have been sold lies and dreams from a very young age. This has distorted their perception of reality on a deep psychological level. As they grow older into adults, the real begins to set in, and all the images they had of life begin to crash. At that point, they realize.......that 9-5 shyt isn't life brehs.

nikka everytime we see ourselves on TV it's associated with negativity. Just under half of us graduate high school. Half of us have never met our father. Over half of us grow up in projects or Section 8 housing and never leave our hometown, causing extreme close-mindedness and fear of new environment and change. Over 60 % will catch an STD in their lifetime. Over 70% will have children and abandon them, repeating a vicious cycle.Over 80 % will be in jail at some point in their life. Over 90% of the black race will be dead by year 2080(we're slowly being killed off, much of which is our own doing). And 100% will experience racism in their lifetime. What black man in America wouldn't experience depression? I'm moving to Japan....

Hell yea makes sense. Damn near all of us find something we want to do and instead of embracing the journey, we automatically think about being the next Jordan, Jay Z, etc, etc. Flossing, balling and shyt.But when life happens, nikkas get inherently suicidal. The scary thing is most kids of our generation don't have the mental fortitude to survive such a revelation because they're more likely than not a bytch ass nikka, afraid of any real responsibility...

In addressing the bolded. And beyond.

1) I've been sober for over two months. (no drugs, drink, or alcohol).
2) Anything else is none of your business.

No disrespect sir. Have a nice night. It's just a message board.

man, those stats are awful. A breh that actually makes it out of all that shyt unscathed is truly a rose who grew fr concrete.

THis is a good point. Everytime there is a happiest cities in the world list made each year...(I forget which the first one was...like 2008 or something)...no American cities make the list at all.

Many people are just unhappy and disatisfied with their lives.

breh, this next generation isn't equipped to deal with failure and the realities of life.

we're going to see a lot of young nikkas (and cacs, too) flip the fukk out.

Exactly. nikkas wanna make it to the pros, be a rapper or win the mega-millions and shyt... Thing is... These days, being a black college graduate, 40 years old with a well paying job, good credit, and a family all in one roof, with your sanity intact IS winning the lottery. Lol it IS the equivalent of making it to the pros or being a rapper because that's how hard it is to lead a positive "American Dream" lifestyle these days... nikkas gotta take a step back and be grateful. It's the little things.

if an American city does make the list, it's usually one that lacks Black folks.

San Francisco, Austin, Portland, Denver, etc.

You never see Baltimore, Cleveland, Detroit, etc. on those lists. Black folks are in large numbers in those cities and folks are generally in bad shape on all fronts. shyt is probably miserable.

Americans are losing hope in general.

those stats sound a little exaggerated. Especially with 80% of all black men going to jail in their lifetime and 60% of black men infected with an STD.

if an American city does make the list, it's usually one that lacks Black folks.

San Francisco, Austin, Portland, Denver, etc.

You never see Baltimore, Cleveland, Detroit, etc. on those lists. Black folks are in large numbers in those cities and folks are generally in bad shape on all fronts. shyt is probably miserable.

Best cities for us are ATL, DC, and Houston.
