Black Men su!cides raising faster than any other racial group

[AAKing23]

Ages 18 to 25 are especially cruel to black men, it’s the age range where men are figuring themselves out and trying to build themselves up, their value as men are at their lowest in this age group based on the idea that men must be financially stable and able to provide all these things they see on social media. If they don’t have it or don’t have the means it’s depressing and dehumanizing.

I went through this and took so many L’s in that age range and it’s hard to not just wanna give up sometimes but my advice to other dudes is to keep your head down and keep working at becoming a better man than you was yesterday. Baby steps lead to major steps, it’s a marathon not a sprint, don’t compare your life to no one else, it truly is the thief of joy.

"Tupac in a Business Suit" syndrome is all over black media, like "Power". If we dont fit those superficial checkboxes of being over 6 ft, swagged out, clout on the streets, loads of $$$, we are regarded as nothing.

No. You’re not. You believing it is the problem. Cause it’s not even close to true. Regular people are falling in love every single day.

Is there ever good news for black men? Nothing but constant negative reinforcement on all media platforms

It’s probably a mix of all the things posted.

*lower religiosity - I’m agnostic but religion does give you a psychological backstop of hope

*masculinization of black women - subsets of black men, specifically rappers, street dudes, etc., have influenced women into taking on more masculine attitudes of “fukk relationships…get money. turn up. have sex.” this + white feminism has really destroyed appreciation for the average black man

*rise of social media & clout culture - goes hand in hand with the above. raps message has been “you ain’t shyt if you don’t have money” and this is amplified more than ever now. money & status are everything and no one in the community is afraid to tell you that to your face

*falling black consciousness - a lot of younger brehs are growing up on some kumbayaa shyt not understanding the history of this country and what position it’s consistently tried to put black people, and especially black men, in.

if you don’t understand that discrimination, structural racism, etc. Is a factor you have to deal with, it hits you that much harder when it does.

Black men continue to be groomed as a social and economic underclass while all of the world, and now black women too, tells them to go get money and status or their worthless.

Exactly. We need that Khalid Muhammad energy because That whole black empowerment\Black excellence\Black Girl Magic talk is nothing more than Social media prop up talk because alot of these black folks dont practice it. Thats also disheartening

Black women do a better job of reaffirming each other than we do.

and that Black girl magic thing is much more real .

its always bothered me that they can get together for a yearly essensefest but we collectively as Black men arent doing similar. All we do site the wack ass Million Man March where I left there as a young man not hearing about the plan forward.

Difference is Black Women and now immigrants also have government assistance, support and can get cozy with Peckerwoods easier verses us. Plus you see alot of soft feminine docile nikkahs getting many positions within media too. I seen many CACs back that Black Girls Magic shyt for real from Media, politicians and even the President made it a bargaining chip to anoint a Black Woman to the Supreme Court. That whole "We all apart of the same struggle" shyt Nas was talking is gone because alot of Gen Z black Men today have that Carlton Bel Air mentality.

Gen Z black males are extra HOH and will even fight back against those feminist black women. People think it's a game, but the simping/tricking shyt is about 5 years away from being totally extinct. Even that "Black Girl Magic" trope will face an extreme backlash when Gen Z hit peak adulthood years.

^^^^^This the black woman sellout we are talking about, who was apart of a whole brigade of black male bashers that almost overthrown and ruined The Coli from 2014-2017.

Men in general have high suicide rates and honestly a lot of them do it to themselves. Not on purpose but men have natural egos. It is what it is: if men stopped focusing on egos and just their happiness. Oh boy

Throw in the fact that a lot embrace improper ideals of masculinity such as men must be stoic etc. It becomes even harder when faced with actual problems as the desire to show strength will overwhelm the logical option of reflecting on one's self and resolving the issue.

At least 80% of the posters on this board have a diagnosed mental illness, can't get pussay and are broke as fukk. Yet no one on here is committing that, so this article has to be fake news...

Wtf kinda thought process is this ? The vast majority of black people arent coli posters !!!!
