yeah I agree with you on the cause, just saying its still some privileged shyt. someone thats poor even in a capitalist society cant even think to kill themselves, this is from him basically being able to do whatever he wants and being bored. im not attacking except that i do think its selfish he left a kid behind thats not an adult

Somebody who's sane shouldn't understand the mind frame that's why it's called a mental illness...
Depression is more than "I feel sad", it's a disease that causes physical changes in you and doesn't go away. We still only have really a basic understanding of what the alterations in mental make-up do to you psychologically. The man fought a long time and went through some dark shyt, just because you leave that alley and the needle behind doesn't mean it ever leaves you. You can be anybody anywhere at any time and have this issue, it's not an America or western cultural thing, just like schizophrenia has a fairly consistent 1% affliction rate globally, so does clinical depression. The man fought a battle against himself and in the end he couldn't fight anymore.

fully agreed. anyone killing themselves with young kids aint shyt. I said this about kate spade on my facebook and my white coworkers started getting upset. If you're suicidal, please dont procreate or at least have the decency to wait until your kids are older and out the house.
What's wrong with wealthy white people killing themselves.....wonder if they ask the same thing when Cops kill us
I have no clue why a weatlhy cauasian would want to kill themselves. It's not whether I care or not. It's just bewildering. I'm a brotha trying to make it already know I'm taking a hit cuz of what I look like. Trying to make it in a world not made for me. Constantly peppered with stereotypes, experiencing institutional racism on a daily basis, and yet, I don't want to end it. Adversity and being disadvantaged is what I know.
So for a caucasian to not deal with any of that makes me think they really had some serious demons. There will be a discussion because that's how the world works.

He also hung himself like Kate Spade. He did it in his hotel room in France while filming.

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
Too many people think suicide is about condition of life. It's about condition of mind. Suicidal thoughts are malfunctions of the brain. People generally have 2 overarching motivations in life...to procreate and to survive. Suicide goes against that.
While I'm truly perplexed that he did himself in because to me it seemed like he had a great life...I've been around enough mentally ill people in my life, myself included to know that their perception of the world is off. You have someone who is seeing the world differently from the majority and that's a dangerous thing.
It's not a physical problem, it's a chemical/biological issue.
I say all that not to give an excuse for people but as an affirmation that people need to change their thought process on the matter for it to be fixed.

Don't forget we have a segment of society that says you're a snowflake if you get upset about anything, and masters the art of passive aggression. Yet, their own people are the ones killing themselves at the highest rates.

So you'd leave your kids in this wicked world by themselves because death is inevitable?

I don't think some of yall really get how depression works. You keep using logic and reason as a sane mentally healthy person. "no matter how bad things get, why would I do that to my wife, kids. I could never do that to them, etc." These are thoughts you have when you are sane and logical. When you are in DEEP depression, like to the point of suicide, those thoughts are not there. They are gone. It's not cause you don't care about your family or kids, it's because the pain is so great those thoughts don't even come into play anymore for the person going thru the depression. How much money you got in your account or white privilige or whatever don't matter anymore at that point. It is literally an illness that can consume your entire mental being. I would just say to pray you never end up in a dark place like that.
People acting like this is a white thing needs to chill.
This shyt happens to people all over. I personally knew 4 black people who committed suicide.

He got wind that Asia Argento was fooling around, and saw photos of Asia with the younger man. She fessed up to him in a phone call - later posting "F everyone" because she was outed by the paparazzi.
Looks legit
what alot of people dont know about Bourdain, is when the hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana.. he took his entire staff(mainly Black folks), and their families to NY with him to reopen so they wouldnt be without jobs.....”The piece focused on Bourdain’s “no white people” policy for the Houston episode of ‘Parts Unknown’...”
“Yesterday, PaperCity published a piece by writer Chris Baldwin that made note of a February profile in the New Yorker in which Bourdain said that he had “banned white people” from the Houston episode of CNN’s Parts Unknown.”
“...none of the city’s celebrity chefs even sniffed a bit of air time. It turns out most of them never had a chance to get on. Foodie power players such as Chris Shepherd, Bryan Caswell and Ronnie Killen were out from the moment Bourdain issued his “no white people” command.”
dude was one of the real ones out there..
being a Chef myself.. i can tell you, theres ALOT going through peoples minds in that kitchen.. mix that, with alot of hard drug abuse, alcoholism, etc.. its a very hectic, and straining job.. it could drive the sanest person, to the brink of insanity off a single shift..
with that said.. dude was a great Chef, and a from Chefs ive known that have worked with.. or, just had the opportunity to chill with dude.. he was a pretty dan genuine guy, both on & off camera.. RIP to dude..
