Yes/no. Doesn't matter if it's race, if you are raised hard, where people always strippin volumes of your insecurity away since a young age and on top of that you learned to fight to get what you want, either physically or metaphorically, then you aren't gonna show weakness. I got depression most of the time but I ain't about to let up trying to get some success.

I'm white, yet the only way I know this is cause I was raised in the projects and me and my mom were the only white people. I seen enough to know that the black community is strong.

:what: nikka, black men probably suffer the most from depression overall :camby:



The truth is that alot of us are depressed and we don't even know it and we don't seek treatment for it, the hood is filled with black men suffering from symptoms of depression.
alotta depressed black men outchea, but they hardly seek treatment and dont go around cutting themselves.

Of course black people suffer from depression and lack of confidence, we deal with it in different ways. We tend to wear our egos on our sleeves.
