Hope things work out for you bro. Is it genetic? A lot of brothers die from strokes and heart attacks too soon. We need a support system because we all we got.
Yeah i think so. I know some in many family werediagnosed with hypertension early as well. Drugs/alcohol, family stuff, plus Pandemic and work related Stress is a big factor too I think since I’m not obese (I could def lose some weight tho :francis:)



I used to be anti therapy/speaking about problems but ive Since evolved on that lol

Exactly. Some (like you) back us up, but alot of men like to shyt on the idea of it.

However sometimes TheColi does get it right.

Like when Steph and Barack tried to shyt on black men
Barack Obama, Steph Curry discuss "toxic masculinty" at Brother's Keeper conference

Imagine your own president (a black man) shytting on you for being a black man

Here was my post from it
This is a good point

I hate how narrative driven a lot of progressive articles are when it comes to gender

They have this idea that men never talk about shyt, and that if they do, everything will magically be fine.

We do!

Even the whole "men commit suicide because they don't open up" has been proven false already :camby:

Damn. The ignorance and lack of situational awareness is real out here. While I’m sure some of that is projection. Because she probably only cares about IG likes, shopping, getting hair and nails done, twerking her fishy p*ssy up and down and juicing unsuspecting dudes for their hard earned resources. They assume that we’re as shallow and empty as they are…

Is they talking about black men? Because we definitely are stronger mentally.
What is that getting black men:jbhmm:
This is an ill perception placed on us to make us not look as human
It’s one thing to be “mentally” stronger than any other race by CHOICE
But we do this out of a need of SURVIVAL
We are labeled ain’t shyt from the womb
Menaces to society no matter your hue
Then you are placed inside a box and can’t enjoy
Nor can you express yourself outside the box of what it is to be black
Now the younger generation does have more leeway and really doesn’t give a fukk about labels
Which I applaud them for
But if you are a child of the 70s to about 2005
If you did anything outside of that box
You were ridiculed to the highest order
So a lot of nikkas hide their true identities just to SURVIVE adolescence
Became crash test dummies to prove a point
And in turn created PTSD for themselves
Seeing shyt that they didn’t need to see
Experiencing things they didn’t need to
In order to be seen as a man
That’s not mentally strong shyt my nikka
That shyt wears you down over the years
Then you add on having to work at a young age
Dodging crack heads and dead bodies
Having to perform extra hard in class just to get recognition
Which makes its way to the job force because you don’t want to be seen as a diversity hire
Worrying about getting killed by a pig
Worrying about some woman lying on you while just minding your business in a store
Having to watch your tone in every situation in life
Having to get out there an get it for a whole family name
Thats not mental strength
That’s prison
It kills your body, mind and soul
Nobody should be having existential crises at 7am in the morning
Knowing if you don’t get this money
Your whole family will be homeless
Being mentally tough ain’t something to be proud of
Everybody needs somebody to talk to
Everybody needs catharsis
No man has ever made it on their own
That self made man bullshyt was all a lie people still trying to uphold as the main principle of manhood
Even the strongest man in the world has moments of weakness
It happened to Samson and it has happened to many after

Another reason why man-not is accurate. Black men are cursed to be treated like men when it's convenient and black when it's convenient. We lose either way. The only way we can come back from this is by supporting each other.

I made a thread recently about men’s role in society is to pay bills and shut up.
I was being tongue in cheek, but to a certain extent it’s true
You’re raised and taught to do things a certain way.
You can’t be happy, smile, laugh.
You’re basically another number until your time is up

Like you said, at the end of the day, the only person you truly can rely on is yourself. Either adversity is gonna make ya or break ya!

If any group of men understand the concept of HYON it definitely is Black men!!

It is what it is...

I see how miserable cacs are at work and shyt because their wife and kids probably aren’t shyt and their home life is a mess. They’re forced to “pay the bills and shut up”. That couldn’t be me. :hubie:

That’s why it is important to keep your male centric spaces intact. Video games, movies, billiards, basketball, any little hobby where you can do it dolo or with friends. You gotta make times like that or else your mental health will deteriorate. You also got the weirdos who form a hardcore habit but I digress…
