I know Dr T Hasan Johnson talks a bit about this from time to time from a variety of different angles.
It’s Social media and lack of a prominent male figure.
Social media has a lot of young people feel like they’re living worthless lives or inadequate.
If a young man feels like he can’t measure up to social media’s hyper-exaggerated expectations of what someone who looks like you should be then it leads to depression.
If a young man has a good male figure in his life whilst growing up who has built something he will most likely try to emulate that instead of wasting time watching how other men live on social media.

with a generation of nikkas growing up in this internet age not knowing what life was like before it
results like this was bound to happen, the negativity from: society, other groups, even black women
as Karlous miller even pointed out, Twitter is nothing but bashing of Black men from so many sides its ridculous.
can be to much for some young black american men to handle specifically those that are... lets say not with a strong mental fortitude to carry on.

"Rising Faster" =/= Majority. And that's a subjective term
Last I checked White Males are still leading in this category

80% of blacks are Christian.Black Americans more likely to be Christian, Protestant than US adults overall

Younger black people are less religious and the issue is with young black men.

This is a big part of the problem. Men(especially Black men) have no interest in showing any vulnerability, and we’ve been taught by society that men that do are “soft”, “overly feminine”, and “not deserving of being a man”.
I was talking to a friend of mine a couple years ago, and he made the point that society allows girls to naturally blossom into women, there aren’t any barriers like there are for boys, boys have to earn our manhood, and throughout the rest of our lives we’re burdened with having to continuously qualify to be considered a man amongst our peers. Constant bombardment with illogical qualifiers that only get harder the more disadvantaged you are in this society, we’re cogs in the machine. No one sees us for who we truly are, but instead for how we can benefit their lives, that results in a lot of men feeling bitter, hollow, unwanted, and taken for granted. We’re in a vicious cycle that must be broken if we ever wish to be more than just a means to an end, and I think we have the collective power to change this, but first we’ll have to collectively see each other(Black/men) as well as ourselves as more than what we have been taught.
Saying verbally you're a. Christian doesn't mean anything lol. It's so called Christians on here who rejoice over violence towards white people. They believe in Satan not Jesus. Saying they're Christian is meaningless

A lot of older folks are very jealous of the youth and have nothing but negative to say about them. You see it on here hard. And then folks will clown the youth and say they are sensitive for being more in touch with their feelings and emotions(this is actually what's happening here;they don't need clowning they need help coping with all that).
Folks coming off of a generation or two where you were viewed as weak for being in touch with feelings and emotions won't understand that at all. And yet folks keep passing down trauma to generation after generation. Every criticism of the youth is a reflection on the elders. Just saying.
Not everybody is content to self medicate(which is how many many many of the folks I know including myself handled alot of shyt). I don't do it these days but not everybody can rise above it. It's not easy.
DON'T BE SCARED TO SEEK HELP, FELLAS!
old people talking shyt is not a new thing.
I don't understand you pivoting to attacking old people they are not the reason for the increase.
you just wanted to point fingers.
hell is a ducktale for dull minds
the kid ain't in no realm with a pitchfork and fires. all you propagate is fear. you have no faith just fear. don't fool yourself.

It's not new but you are dealing with a group that is more sensitive. This can't be denied. Just because something always happens or has always happened in the past doesn't make it cool. The youth today is not the same as before yet they are viewed and treated the same as previous generations. See the issue?
Also you can pretend passing down trauma isn't a factor if you want. It isn't the only issue. A singular issue never stands alone. But let's not be obtuse.
Also I find it suspect to act like older generations deserve a pass when the youth are going through something. Like come on. I noticed a lot of older folks are on that wave.
Who trained them and raised them, then? The television? Bill Nye the Science Guy? Passing the buck won't lead to a solution.
Oh I know! I'm supposed to blame rap! It's those damn rappers! TLR would like that better. smh If I would have come in here blaming rappers I'd have a thousand daps. shyt is corny and lame. This stuff starts in the home.
