Black people do kill themselves over various issues...
Black people need to stop playing the mental health card with cacs, mental illness is a major issue in the black community that's swept under the rug by misguided militants who like to get into a pissing contest with cacs over whose race is superior
The high school I went to was mostly black and I always heard about students killing themselves
Pretty much. I think it's cause most black people (a) rely on church (b) don't have access to healthcare, let alone
mental health care that we feel like mental health issues in the black community are small in number. But nikkas are really out here strugglin' y'all.
Going through so much poverty, self-hate, discrimination, etc. and you all think most black people are mentally normal or that even mental health issues aren't the slightest problem? Stop foolin' yourselves. I've had BEST friends go crazy and hit mental episodes, I got a friend right now who is going through a lot of different things.
Y'all think these people sittin' next to you are normal and don't need help with anything, you're wrong even if they do look happy. shyt, one of my best friends mom's student killed himself after being taunted by other little kids in a predominantly black school and he was black. shyt is real and these kids' lives are nothing to joke about even if you don't like white people or some shyt..
While black people are a very strong people, we are also a very sick people as well. As evidenced by some of the responses in this thread. Don't get it twisted.
