Anthony Bourdain is Dead

They probably do show symptoms but largely ignored. Society don't want to hear about men's problems, especially White men. And I'm going to say the numbers for Black people are off because we don't want to admit it and claim it as something else. You always hear people saying to Give it to God instead of actually seeing professional help.
But that's the thing. First attempt white male suicide survivors tend to say the same thing: I just got the idea and decided to try it.

:hmm:

No I was depressed, sad, illogical, etc.

Just I thought it, so I tried it.

WTF.
 
RIP to dude, loved his show, actually met him, stayed at the Hollywood Hotel in Cali at the same time he was there years back, really cool guy. Down to Earth.

White people represent 60% of the U.S Population but from your posted stats they represent 90% of the suicide committed. Something is very wrong within them.
 
you could be right too... Im just sayin like when a bruh gets shot by a piglice officer...

folks are so quick to say lets wait till the facts come out..

Im wondering why they dont say the same thing in these situations....

I know suicide is a mental illness, but its like dude was living the dream, traveling all over the world... gettin paid big money to do it,

had fame, prestige... and yet he was allegedly still depressed enough to kill himself...

and you got folks living paycheck to paycheck.. aint never left the country.. few people know their name.

yet they are happy as fuck and got a zest for living..

life is really weird like that sometimes
Nigga

He hanged himself

Not much need for an investigation there
 
Perfect example is the CDC guy that they found in a river in Atlanta. The coroner went into detail about why they ruled it suicide, including that he had a breakdown several years ago and people still won't believe it. You can be on top the world and

That is part of the imbalance however. You decide because in the end you just feel numb to life. You understand what it means, and how it will affect others but it's an out. It's more than being depressed, you just want to feel something. And as I said, no one cares when it comes to men anyways. The whole "Bathing in Men's Tears" thing isn't really all that new.
 
Correct. We're all subject to this sick society and interpretation of "life." From the manicured suburbs and streets and to the faux financial system, to the mirage and wealth and fame, were all subject to the bs everyday.

Some can handle it and some can't unfortunately.



I questioned the speed of that assessment as well.

Something about this feels off, but idk.

I think it's pretty much similar circumstances like the fashion broad who hung herself in Manhattan. If you find the person unconscious, with a curtain around their neck and ligature markings around their neck, well....."Never ignore the obvious!"

Don't be retarded bro

It's what's been reported

you tinfoil hotep folk can be a challenging bunch to talk to

ok first off there is no talking on a messageboard... you must mean a "challanging" bunch to communicate with...

secondly because someone is found with a rope around their neck doesnt mean they tried to kill themselves... it couldve been a weird sexual fetish..

or he couldve been hanged/lynched....

try not to be such a gullible gilberto....learn to think outside the box, and dont eat everything someone puts in front of your face....

they reported david carridine commited suicide at first, only to find out, he was just tryin to get his freak on...

got it gilberto...

You're basically Waldo Geraldo Faldo.
 
RIP to the guy, but I'm am sick of every time a CAC dying all the love and forgiveness they get for such a selfish and cowardly act.

From Robin Williams to Philip Seymour Hoffman, CACs get a pass when they kill themselves or OD :smh:

Whatever.....

Robin Williams had a degenerative brain disease. Horrible way to go. Can’t criticize a man for going out on his own terms.
 
Wow. When the wife and I would go away. We would try the restaurants and eateries that he went to. He made a spot in Hellshire beach (Aunts) famous by going there. Been going there since 2002


Yea I haven't made it to away of those spots yet but watching his shows definitely helped me open up to different eats....

that IS NOT part of "the imbalance" because this does not follow any recognized mental or emotional issue.

this is a completely new thing that is not identified as part of any known illness.

hell, white men might be genetically predisposed to committing suicide, which is not automatically grounds for them having a genetic mental illness.
 
Life is extremely complicated in today' world. So much pressure is put on us to live and MAINTAIN. But what are we maintaining? That's why I tend to look at life in a very dark way.

Pain and suffering. Death. Mental anguish, self-destruction, and mythologies we create. The boundary line we draw to keep us secure.

At first, I thought happiness was something to seek, but as I grow and see people I love suffer and/or die (for various reasons or no reason at all), I realized that happiness is only a temporary thing. Something that can last for the moment. Most of the time we manifest happiness to cloud the pain we are going through emotionally.

Society has trained many people to seek this euphoric feeling as it make us impulsive. Gives us that adrenaline to keep going. A reason to live and love life. Even used as a big marketing strategy to sell us shit.

Everyone is going through their own struggle. There exist not a single human that isn't dealing with something or someone that takes a toll on them mentally and sometime physically.

Yes, mental illness is an unchecked issue in the Black community. We have a tendency to pretend like it doesn't exist the same way it does with white folks. Probably because we think that since we suffered greatly and DEALT with the atrocities of racism for such a long period of time that we can overcome any mental illness by just 'getting over it.' But it's so many other things other than that, which includes the shit we do to each other.[/QUOTE]

Very well put. Lost a close friend to suicide. It's crazy that some folks seem to think mental illness only manifests itself with suicide.
 
It seems people are mistaking mental illness as a choice. Just like nobody asks for diabetes, nobody wants mental illness. It's not a choice.
And just like other diseases (think: sickle cell) nobody really knows why certain races or genders are more afflicted.

I just pray all these "who cares it's a cac" folks never have the sensation of not being in control of their own mind. At that point, unfortunately, suicide becomes a viable option just to make the pain stop.

But also since being bigot and racism should rightfully be classified as a mental illness maybe white people are just predisposed to it due to generations being afflicted with 1 form of sickness

This is overall not at Bourdain
 
You’re a very intelligent brother so it’s surprising to hear you say this. Depression affects every race, creed or color. Black men are affected by depression and have committed suicide due to it. So it has nothing to due with “the weakness of the mind”. This attitude is one of the reasons why depression in our community goes unchecked and rears its ugly head in other ways. Rather it be self-medication, violence, or some other negative form.

Think you Kats are missing what he's saying...probably some of y'alls unnatural instinct to defend the white cac male. No shit every race commits suicide but it's at epidemic levels for the white cac males.

I didn't know that was how they found him. Early reports just said suicide without description which made me skeptical.

This whole thing sucks.
 
Rates of suicide are broken down by race per year.

Black women have the lowest rates among all suicides in 2016.

Black men have the second lowest rates among all suicides during the same period.

White men kill themselves so much that they've caused gun violence rates to skyrocket, bring male and white has been declared a health risk among them, they've lowered their life expectancy, and have fallen below replacement level birth rates in 18 states.

The 10th highest cause of death in the US is suicide. It ain't us doing that to the US.

Peep, if you're white, male, have less than a college degree and hit 40, you've got a 1 in 6000 chance you're gonna off yourself.

That might not sound like a lot, but that equals 93 white dudes EVERY DAY.

See why they so damn crazy in politics right now?
Well damn.... Now that you say it like that..
 
Robin Williams had a degenerative brain disease. Horrible way to go. Can’t criticize a man for going out on his own terms.
More excuses for these CACs:smh: Williams was a drug addict and alcoholic his entire adult life. I'm quite sure he brought on whatever was fucking up his brain. He still gets no pass from me.
 
R.I.P.


search feature is a load of crap....did a search for Anthony Bourdain in thread titles.... "No Results Found"....horse shit !!! :hmm:



.
 
Sad stuff. He and Zimmerman are two of the only ones that I watched for traveling and cultural experiences. They've always kept it 100.
 
Thanks for your low key insult. But I don’t usually take a small minded view on life.
Here’s the thing. They have more resources available to them, better health care, they also tout the fact that they don’t come from broken homes like Blacks do, they claim to have more wealth than we he do , yet they tend to kill themselves more.
Again, look at the stats.

its more foolish to think I don’t know that other races commit suicide. See above.
Bruh, I definitely wasn’t trying to insult you. If you took it that way, my apologies.
Think you Kats are missing what he's saying...probably some of y'alls unnatural instinct to defend the white cac male. No shit every race commits suicide but it's at epidemic levels for the white cac males.
I hear you and I am not concerned about that at this point. My concern is the dismissive culture of mental illness in the black community. This is black girl online with a majority of melanated people ( I think) so because this is a melanated space I wanted to make sure we aren’t dismissing melanated people who may be dealing with depression. That was my true intent.

Nah, bills, racism is a learned behavior. It comes from ignorance. It also becomes, after hundreds or thousands of years, part of the makeup of the ones who practice it.
Mental illness, like most other diseases, has no rhyme or reason to it.

Which is my point. Part of the makeup of the ones who've been practicing it for thousands of years. It's a part of them that's not a part of us. Their minds are way more receptive to that type of thing. It's not to discount other mental illnesses at all. It's just that we need to get real as to why this collection of people suffer from these things way more than other groups. Doesn't mean all humans don't go through it they do but this 1 particular group causes pretty much all the grief, all the destruction, acts like a virus and also gets taken out by their minds.
