Black folks hate sharing why someone died.

[8WON6]

it's cool if people wanna be private but don't do the "pray for us...i can't believe it happened" vague posts. and then all the replies are "girl, what happened?"

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

Smh at dying.
Yall really rolling with people that just...stop living?

Whenever I see posts about a relative of a white friend die they always “ My dad died of heat stroke, please make sure you stay hydrated or if you are elderly stay indoors”, “my sister was killed by a drunk driver on intersection 80 and First Street, please don’t drink and drive”, or “my aunt lost her battle with breast cancer, it was caught late, people remember to go get screenings early so that you or your lover ones may have a better chance fighting it”

Black folks though, our shyt gonna say “stop asking what happened mind your damn business”, “please keep my family in your prayers during this time and don’t ask what’s going on”, “if you gonna say anything other than my condolences keep it to yourself”.

Like damn, nikkas ain’t trying to bring awareness to anything.

They kill me with that shyt.. "then don't put your business online"and why not let us know since you already cluing us in on the situation, maybe we can make a detailed prayer specifically for your family member..

yep just another weird attempt to “vilify” black ppl and deify whites…OP must’ve known a lot of dead folks to come to such a definitive conclusion lol…some ppl are just simply private when it comes to those matters…didn’t know it was based on race tho lmao

I’m on the other side of 40 so yeah between my friends parents and some of my actual friends, i see death related posts on my Facebook page regularly.

I had one friend who died due her body rejecting an organ transplant. She was laying in the hospital in what turned out to be her death bed posting pics on Facebook asking for prayers and getting mad at people asking her what’s going on. Like if you don’t want people asking questions, why you posting the situation on social media?

OP

I thought that this was just a Haitian thing.

Call up your family and they'll tell you that a relative back home died, tell you how many kids he had, how many jobs he had, etc

"How did he die?"

What? He died.

I was just about to come and say this. I think I got the once for prying.

Had a babysitter that died young and fam kept that shyt wrapped up on some Jimmy Hoffa shyt I think it took years before I found out it was by a brain tumor.

In Cleveland if someone passes away you'll know all their business just by going on Facebook and looking up the "Cleveland rememberence page"

Found out a friend got killed just by scrolling through the page

 

[fact]

It’s not just black people, it’s most people, and I believe that peoples need to fulfill their morbid curiosity should not trump anyones righg to privacy

 

[RamsayBolton]

I get it, families are grieving and don't want to get into specifics. However...
If someone my age dies I need to know HOW and WHY

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

Idk, I've seen a lot of white people do the same thing. It's usually a lot of "give us our privacy and please keep our family in your prayers during this difficult time". I think it's a natural reaction to figure out how this person passed, but some families don't want to divulge that information for whatever reason.

This

If you've ever visited the hermancaineaward subreddit you'd see that white people were on that same tip too.

"My daddy died of pneumonia, not the coronavirus"

I straight up don’t tell people about death in my family it’s none their fukking business. I dunno know why I’m like that either I just keep family matters extremely close to the vest.

Had a death in the family this past weekend if it wasn’t for my sister none of my friends would know

Kay Slay died from Covid, wasn't vaccinated, didn't want to get vaccinated, but if you brought any of this up, nikkas typed this phrase quicker than RIP

 

[mbewane]

Why exactly do you feel entitled to know how people died? If the fam wants to tell you they will, if they don't they won't.

Brehs sounding real Karen-like being in other people's business

 

[Antwon Mitchell]

This is just another thread in supporting theory on why CACs do “this & that” better than Black ppl which in this case would be that they mourn they're dead relatives better than Black folk when in reality there is no correct way to mourn a passing of a family member.

OP made up an anecdotal ducktail just to prop up CACs and as always y'all nikkas fall for it, hate to see it

Then again most of y'all are cosplaying Black so these types of threads serve as an ego boost for y'all already delusioned minds. 1 .

AIDS, obesity-related death and suicide are usually why black folks don’t divulge what happened to their loved ones.

This. When my aunt died, I'm pretty sure it was obesity related because she was always a big lady and she used to party a LOT back in the day. I was shocked that she was cremated because my grandma is religious and don't believe in it, but when my pops showed me a picture of her that was taken a week before she died I literally went I'm pretty sure my grandma was embarrassed and the home probably told her they couldn't do a traditional burial

 

[concise]

I remember when anybody died in the last 2 years and everybody wanted to know whether or not people died of covid so that they could piss and dunk on their graves.
