Black folks hate sharing why someone died.

[7th Letter Specialist]

No lie I had a co worker who’s dog died. A damn dog. He let us know he wouldn’t be in for a week and then proceeded to ask for privacy. I couldn’t wrap my head around it because … dog. Moral of that story is pet folks are crazy … except me I’m sane. As for black folks I get it. White folks naturally just over share so it’s in them. Privacy is taught and drilled from an early age in our community though.

Asking for donations is one thing. If your asking someone for money then a certain amount of information SHOULD be required.


All the rest of that shyt naw. If someone is asking for prayers then thats exactly what their asking for…PRAYER. They aren’t under any obligation to disclose how their loved one died

Bruh, if you want privacy then keep it private. How you gonna ask for shyt and then get mad when folks wanna know why you asking?

If you don’t want people to know how your cousin died then don’t get on Facebook talking about your cousin died. That’s gonna be folks first question, you know that any time death is brought up.

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

Add drugs to that list.

None of us are sane. U gotta be crazy to be on this mf

Or telling you how they were eating ice cream and their cat licked the bowl and then smooched them .. open mouthed . Ok that was made up but not far fetched

[BunchePark]

I promise you that you don't care because of awareness just for gossip sake. Nosey shyt.

I'd be cremated and in the wind with no explanations happily.

Read that shyt like awareness my ass

Nobody knows how or when unless you one of them suicide mufukkas

 

[ThrobbingHood]

It’s cool if you want to keep the details private, but if you have the audacity to post a go fund me link, your ass better post a death certificate image too.

I've noticed it too.

Another thing I notice is how we like to keep the cause of death under wraps, but love grieving all damn day on Facebook to get reactions and comments. That shyt always seemed weird to me. It's like a family member's death is clout to some people.

Happened when my stepfather died. It was heart related but it was genetic. Still people die. Just weird we do this.
