Don't worry you can always count on God or even a stranger who cares. God bless this woman and anyone who has been hurt. Recovery is definitely possible. Time Heals all Wounds.
That's a lie. Time doesn't heal all wounds
Yup...can take a life time to deal with 7x7 more demons stronger than the first. Jealousy, lust, anger, lies, hate, addiction and vanity. During that time everyone around is suffering. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
TMH And Yahusha will heal all things, but they will help and bless those who help themselves
It's kind of worth mentioning, that blacks who were no drunks and didn't smoke cigarettes had all the time jobs within the community. Many worked outside. The money had so much more value back in the days, that the amounts earned would feed a family, pay for the apt. or and the house by having only the husband working. The families mostly were not divorced. That the scenario presented in this docu is racist, is true, but blacks could easily live with this kind of racism. Today this has changed to such an extend, that I see poverty in so much black folks that are actually educated, it's at all times visible. The single professional mother's moving through Harlem have no man, alone without a man they turn to Barbiturates and food to deal with this pressure of modern Life.
My grandma never complained about racism. All black people went to work, and had a community if they returned from work. This is now over. The community is drug infested, overloaded with alcoholics, everyone is smoking cigarettes, cigars or pot. All night here in Harlem are people fighting with each other. If it's calm sometimes one hears gun shots.
It's such a difference to that what was at the old times called Jim Crow. The old black folks said: "back in the days it was better". I heard never someone say:" it was so bad back in the days. Today it's so much better".
These docus are presented without reality to us. The perception we have of the past is distorted. These docus are designed to mislead us. There is no God and his structure guiding our black community anymore. There are all kinds of things giving us guidance, but not one single tour guide isn't sabotaging our life's. If it is the wrong food that we're addicted to that ruins our health, or smoking marijuana, getting our prescription drugs from the pharmacy, getting beer at the bodega, leafes to buy for 1 dollar in the corner store from the Arabs, to buy then marijuana for a chill out with the homies, watching degrading images of black folks on the idiot box. Of course the take out Chinese food can't be missing. No one reads or plays board games, does puzzles or draws like we kids use to. Mom had a sowing machine and saved money, didn't went to the Korean overpriced chemical cleaning store. We at our home didn't even had a television. All that is over.
All are watching the idiot box, listen to the radio voice, go on social media and when going somewhere listening to music. No one lives in the real world. So we don't notice that the racist past was just better and easier to live in than our modern present world. We are not able anymore to trust each other by believing we can get infected with a virus. The idiot box tells us, that the number one economy is DRUGS.
Wow. What a great future for our children and grand children.
A lot of women are afraid of being violated by the staff in the institutions.
Wonderful
No wonder they used to burn down n blow up Black churches... becareful of the devil n false doctrine n all but... these houses of worship and fellowship were all vital to the community as far as concerned health... mental, physical and spiritual. Wow!
Stop it niggas was depressed back then also
Please stop pathologizing people. Nobody wants to be viewed as ill. We are not sick people we are hurt people.
That makes no sense, seeing as being sick and being hurt are the same thing?
This is exactly what this video tries to address. The black community needs to stop avoiding mental health problems.
