Now you know it’s possible to love life and commit suicide. For me that’s a beautiful thing.
The gray area. Fucks with peoples minds.
Money can buy happiness, but it can't cure depression.
Transcend?
I'm sure he saw the fucked up conditions his people created the world over by oppression
Then came back home to his wealth
White guilt is a mofo

He and Andrew Zimmern are/were recovering addicts.
Certain myths within our community lead to a lack of understanding which leads to indifference and inactivity. Our suicides are different from theirs.. I think i will call ours "Behavioral Suicide"...if that makes any sense.
Peace,
It makes sense, and I agree completely.
I wasn’t trying to argue that white male suicide isn’t more prevalent, or doesn’t occur differently than non-white/black suicide. I was simply trying suggest that it’s dangerous for us to be dismissive of suicide in general.

You check into hotels, most can be setup for surveillance in a second, especially in the U.S. Internationally, it is well known that certain countries do not give a fuck about privacy. The more well known you are, the more surveillance you attract. Now they are using the surveillance to fuck with you mentally long term. Or, to establish dominance to influence your coverage. With today technology it can be overwhelming.
They will suggest internal struggles with mental illness but do not write off this daily fuckery.
She committed suicide in France after the FBI tormented her for years for giving money to the Black Panthers and supporting their causes.

Yesterday I was walking down Market street and saw a street preacher on the corner of Powell. He was talking about how Bourdain killed himself because fame and material comforts can't provide what Jesus can.
I wanted to beat the shit out of him for that!
For starters Christians kill themselves all the time. For all we know maybe Bourdain could have been one of them. Also, fame and riches aren't supposed to make you happy 100% of the time. Even successful people battle with poor health, failed relationships, insecurity, lack of purpose, mental illness and all the other problems everyone else does.

"fame and material comforts can't provide what Jesus can. "
This is true though
.
I highly doubt that, but even if true what does that have to do with Bourdain?
That preacher didn't know what was in the man's heart. Didn't know how he lived his life off camera. Probably never even seen him in person. For him to publicly state that Bourdain died from lack of Jesus is ignorant at best and highly manipulative at worst.
Mahailia Jackson, one of most Christian celebrities of all times, suffered two divorces and died from diabetes at a younger age than Bourdain did. Clearly Jesus is not the answer to everything.
Sort of like that photographer that took the picture of the starving child dying and the vulture waiting behind. He won a prize for that photo, but killed himself afterwards.
These folks see the world in a different light and when they return home to their fortunes they deal with guilt, as you mentioned.
Not everyone can be humbled the way they have been seeing the world.
TRUTH

Who the f*ck are WE to even BEGIN to comment on a COMPLETE stranger's or even a relative or friend's personal demons.

TRUTH
Starving Child and Vulture
Kevin Carter knew the stench of death. As a member of the Bang-Bang Club, a quartet of brave photographers who chronicled apartheid-era South Africa, he had seen more than his share of heartbreak. In 1993 he flew to Sudan to photograph the famine racking that land. Exhausted after a day of taking pictures in the village of Ayod, he headed out into the open bush. There he heard whimpering and came across an emaciated toddler who had collapsed on the way to a feeding center. As he took the child’s picture, a plump vulture landed nearby. Carter had reportedly been advised not to touch the victims because of disease, so instead of helping, he spent 20 minutes waiting in the hope that the stalking bird would open its wings. It did not. Carter scared the creature away and watched as the child continued toward the center. He then lit a cigarette, talked to God and wept. The New York Times ran the photo, and readers were eager to find out what happened to the child—and to criticize Carter for not coming to his subject’s aid. His image quickly became a wrenching case study in the debate over when photographers should intervene. Subsequent research seemed to reveal that the child did survive yet died 14 years later from malarial fever. Carter won a Pulitzer for his image, but the darkness of that bright day never lifted from him. In July 1994 he took his own life, writing, “I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings & corpses & anger & pain.”

Calm down
White guilt is real
And when you go travel the world and see first hand the destruction of white civilization
You will fucking break
You will question life when you get back
And the centuries of fuckery that created that level of destruction
You will question "God" an entity that allows that level of suffering
While the people around you act like it doesn't exist
he died from WHITE GUILT
The same guilt that is too much for white people to help here vs go to some remote African village and take pics with black babies
That remote village makes them feel good about helping black people
Knowing the fuckery they enable here on a day to day
WHITE GUILT
even einstein had it
.
He hung himself. I have some far fetched ideas about that but that's for the phone lol
The fuck? I didn’t know Zimmers back story. I thought he was some high society white dude. Lol damn sucking dick for cash that’s skid row crack head type shit there.

We’ve only seen mostly good parts of dude’s show.
Some of those places he travelled is in bad shape.
I’ve never seen a starving child in real life. In a situation where there is no hope and practically nothing I can do about it.
Then you come home and eat full, shower, and sleep in a comfortable room in air condition.
Reality is a motha fucker.
Yup
One one level it's the helplessness at the scale of human suffering
On the other hand it's brought about by a group you belong to
That level of guilt is no joke
.
fam, I used to work in social services and volunteer in shelters...
we ( I mean ALL of see) it EVERYDAY on the streets of NY, Philly, LA and Miami...but we just desensitized.
the faces have no NAMES
We can but on sunglasses, headphones or watch something on our tablets.
But when you are truly confronted ,. and IMMERSED?
it WILL change you deeply
all this trivial shit will got down right TOXIC
