When your taught to cry over your skin color….this is what happens
Democrats are being used by the far left because there just a little simple minded easy to sway.
I’m sure there are some good people in there.
Seems more like you are starting a stigma.
Most people haven't heard of this nonsense before.
Getting out of Democrat run cities and stop voting Democrat is the only thing that can help them now. Over 40 people shot in Chicago just this weekend….🤦🤦
All men need access but white men need it more.
Remember, all the shooters and crazies walking the streets are not black… every one is a white male!!! Let that sink in!!!🤔🤔🤔
I have a black counterpart?
The white house promotes killing babies at BIRTH and Stacey Abrams doesn't think the unborn have heartbeats. This is the SICK platform Democrats are running on. Time for common sense and a New Commitment To America.🐘
Break down hip hop and that’s more than half the battle
Wait, msnbc this isnt far left extremist socailism pushing propaganda, this is real news so why are you reporting it? America knows you are not a legit news source, so leave real news to the professionals
Get therapy period. Black women been putting in the work and still being viewed as the problems of the black community look around. I been burned my cape. I won't be getting broken to heal someone else especially when they know what to do. Cut the crap.
Democrats are Anti- straight Black Male. That’s why Modern day Black Women and liberal whites support the party. They’ve sold you out Black Man. Democratic policies have destroyed the Black family unit.
My depression is so bad my body aches, I can't get out of my bed some days. I'm on Prozac
Some days I don't want to be here.
We don't need therapy we need black women to be able to listen and understand.
why dont you talk about men in general why did you have to single out black men. I mean latino and Asian men also don't like therapy and yet they are not pushed to speak out and seek help yet we being the world like to focus on black men. Thats not right
Well of course going through all of the messed up loops that black men have and had to deal with in this country ya mind is gonna take a beating
In the city of Walnut Creek CA. racism is systemic and sanctioned.
Jesus Loves Me.
How long will they be depressed I'm sorry it's been decades long and they abuse a lot of ppl around them. Oh well wish the best for em 🥱
It’s not just black men it’s all of us regardless of colour
Mental health for ANYONE is VERY IMPORTANT. For men, it's a sensitive topic and often carries a lot of stigma. HIGHS and LOWS. MY "high" moments are when I'm consistently taking my Meds and enjoy "being" IN MYSELF. The "low" moments are when I allow the NEGATIVE to invade MY thoughts. Typically, I get extremely QUIET. I completely STOP maintenance of ME. But the "highs",… I actively celebrate who I AM. Moving in confidence. Humility. Peace and awareness.
Mental health is a real concern even though just a few get to talk about it.
Oh please stop acting like y'all gaf about black men and mental health
I wish they would have talked about why black men don’t talk about mental health as a community
Some people need to understand that indifference is another barrier to getting therapy because of having the impression of hearing I do not care about your depression from family members which hurts deeply.
I ride inner city busses in Los Angeles, so I know why there’s a stigma
