Black men we gotta stop fronting when it comes to our massive mental health problems.
Under white supremacy we are their number #1 enemy; we have been systematically repressed 'kept down' so why wouldn't we be 'Depressed'; we have been systematically attacked and marginalized so why wouldn't we have problems with 'Anxiety' and 'Continuing Traumatic Stress Disorder' (CTSD); Black-on-Black male violence highly contributes to CTSD.
Indeed racial oppression is the major cause of Black men's mental health problems; we suffer from the mental and emotional distress affects of external and internalized oppression. Black men in keeping it real '100' when we are physically out of shape, we'll say I need to workout; go to the gym and get in some shape 'physical fitness'.
Yes Black men keeping it '100' we've been 'self-medicating' masking our mental health problems for generations with alcohol and drugs; yes Black men are minds are out of shape 'warped, wounded' and and we need some 'mental healing fitness'. So let us get to working-out getting our MINDS RIGHT!!
