Mental Disorder is nothing to play with! Charlie Sheen needs Help

If you have been around anyone has a mental disorder: bi-polar, manic depression, schizophrenia or any type of state that makes a person less than their best - you know it's not a laughing matter. 

Charlie Sheen: 'It's Not an Act'


Someone with mental illness can cause harm to themselves or others.  Those not in the "spotlight" have a hard time - imagine what it's like to deal with these issues in the spotlight.  It literally can make you MORE crazy!

One of my favorite artists, Phyllis Hyman suffered from depression and was found dead two hours before she was to perform at the Apollo Theater in New York in 1995. Such pain she must of felt to take her life.

Strange behavior should not be ignored or laughed at. Think about Judy Garland,  John Belushi, Michael Jackson - they were great entertainers - but their lives ended so tragically.  They were crying out in pain.


So instead of jumping to follow a celebrity who has some "issues" on twitter (Charlie Sheen broke the World Record the most Twitter followers in the shortest span of time), stop yourself. Don't add to the noise - instead try to influence others to help him. Or at the very least, don't take the bait of media who seem to "egg on" the antics of the disturbed. Ignore mess - and pray that they get help soon.  




Don't let this end up a sad case of a celebrity suicide - no one will be laughing or amused then.

Does Black mean "wrong" or "bad" to you?


What makes a black author decide on a book cover of a “genric” person – that is a white person?


Or what makes a black person go out of their way to pay more for services from a white person rather than patronize their own?


Or how about when a black person won’t join an organization if there are “too many” other black folk there already – thinking the organization must be inferior.

Hmmm........

You know what you call that?  Insanity.

  George Fraser, author of Success Runs in Our Race, quoted a study that said “Black folks in America are the only species on the planet that will not do things in their own best interest.”

What he means is that it’s in our own best interest to:
  1. Support one another
  2. Do business with one another
  3. Promote each other
  4. Refer each other
  5. Help each

When a community does this, it is in the best interest of each other – it makes the whole community better. 

It grows and flourishes.  No more ghettos.  Success in our race.

When black folks support, promote, refer and help each other – a lot of ills in our community, especially in the urban areas, would go away. 

We are the only race of folks in America who do not feel connected with one another to support one another.  

And when some of us do support/promote/help each other, we feel we have make an apology for it.  Why are we the only ones who have to make an apology for doing business with each other?  

Other races help one another – you never see Jewish people or Asian people having to make apologies or excuses for doing business with their own. Why is it so hard for African Americans? 

I'm just sayin'............whatcha think?
