Feature Story<br />
of the Month<br />
Depression — described by theNational Institutes of Health as a mood disorder that can affect<br />
a person’s ability to sleep, eat, or function normally, — is an ailment that is massive and<br />
detrimental in the African-American community, and even though it affects both genders, it<br />
serves as an 800-pound gorilla in the room when it comes to Black men.<br />
In this regard, it’s possible that it could be a root cause behind<br />
the disproportionate number of violent crimes, school<br />
expulsions, domestic violence, and ultimately incarcerations in<br />
our communities, cyclically self-perpetuating.<br />
But we also live in communities where Black men are told to be stoic and unexpressive, where being<br />
seen as weak can be lethal, where environmental factors like a simple lack of sunlight or living in a<br />
food desert can cause vitamin deficiencies that contribute to depression, and where proper<br />
therapy for mental health <strong>issue</strong>s can come too late and result in violent consequences, perhaps not<br />
unlike the situation allegedly involving Daniel St. Hubert.<br />
It’s not weak to scream, to express ones self in the face of angst — even in the ‘hood. Hell, that’s<br />
why we came up with hip-hop in the first place. However, you let it out, it’s better to talk<br />
to somebody, whomever that might be: a wife, a best friend, a sibling, even a barber, or bartender.<br />
Because at the end of the day, the other side of “man up”… is “man down.<br />

THE DEFINITION : ENTERTAINMENT<br />
The eight-episode first season explores the black<br />
female experience in an unclichéd and authentic<br />
way. Issa, like many of us, tries to figure out what –<br />
and who – she wants in life, and how to take control<br />
of it. Modern-day black women are usually<br />
portrayed as strong, confident and “flawless.” But<br />
Issa and Molly are definitely not “killing it.” These<br />
best friends must deal with their own real-life flaws<br />
as they attempt to navigate different worlds and<br />
cope with an endless series of uncomfortable<br />
everyday experiences.<br />
Over the course of the season, Issa attempts to figure<br />
out what she wants out of life and how to<br />
This fall, there been more black faces on the small<br />
screen than in recent years. Several shows with lead<br />
black actors and actress from Luke Cage, The Get<br />
Down to the returning shows like Rosewood, Blackish<br />
and Empire.<br />
Insecure is an HBO original comedy series created<br />
by Issa Rae and Larry Wilmore, which is partially<br />
based on Rae's web series Awkward Black Girl.<br />
Rae spoke about the show, saying that the series will<br />
examine "the complexities of 'blackness' and the<br />
reality that you can’t escape being black." Rae also<br />
said, in regards to the potential mainstream reaction<br />
to the series:<br />
We’re just trying to convey that people of color are<br />
relatable. This is not a hood story. This is about<br />
regular people living life.<br />
take control of it, while fumbling her way through this journey. Molly, a corporate attorney who appears to have everything<br />
together professionally, struggles inside as she looks for external ways to fix her life.<br />
Meanwhile, Issa’s boyfriend, Lawrence (Jay Ellis), who has fallen victim to complacency, works to get his own act together.<br />
Frieda (Lisa Joyce), Issa’s overeager white co-worker, whose enthusiasm is both annoying and endearing, is at the crux of<br />
Issa’s racial frustrations at work.<br />
Aside from following the duo’s entertaining lives, the half-hour series also includes a variety of hip music from indie and<br />
well-known artists, as well as touches on social and racial <strong>issue</strong>s that relate to the contemporary black experience.<br />
You can watch Insecure on HBO every Sunday night. You can catch up full episodes on HBO Now and HBO Go

Humor<br />
A FATHER'S LAST REQUEST<br />
A husband and wife have four sons. The oldest three are tall with red hair and light skin while the youngest<br />
son is short with black hair and dark eyes.<br />
The father was on his deathbed when he turned to his wife and said, "Honey, before I die, be totally honest<br />
with me: Is our youngest son my child?"<br />
The wife replied, "I swear on everything that's holy that he is your son."<br />
With that, the husband passed away. The wife muttered, "Thank God he didn't ask about the other three."<br />
NunSense<br />
A nun comes to her Mother Superior and asks her to hear a confession.<br />
"Today Father Goodwin told me I had the gates of Heaven between my legs, and that he had the Key to<br />
Heaven. Then opened my gates with his key."<br />
"That bastard!" says Mother Superior. "He told me it was Gabriel's trumpet, and I've been blowing it."<br />
$100 BILL TATTOO<br />
A guy asks for a tattoo of a $100 bill on his penis. Curious, the tattoo artist asks him why he would possibly<br />
want that.<br />
He replies, "Three reasons: I like to play with my money, I like to watch my money grow, and $100 seems to<br />
be the only thing my wife will blow these days."<br />
Unclear Request<br />
A Male patient just recovered successfully from a sex threatening health attack. He was wearing an oxygen<br />
mask over his mouth and nose and laying on hospital bed. An young nurse came to cleanse his body with<br />
sponge. The patient mumbled, “Are my testicles black?” Nurse replied, “I don’t know Sir, I am just setting<br />
you clean” The patient repeated again, “Are my testicles black?” Nurse was quite embarrassed to answer the<br />
question and said “Sir everything should be OK” The patient just kept on asking again and again, “Are my<br />
testicles black?” Nurse could not bear a patient concerned so much. So she raised his gown, moved her hand<br />
to find and grab his penis and testicle, moved it all around, checked very closely and suddenly man<br />
ejaculated on nurse’s hand. The man pulls off his oxygen mask, embarrassed at the fiasco says loudly enough,<br />
“Ma’am, Thanks but I still need to know 'Are my tests results back?’”<br />
Fishing trip<br />
Steve and his buddies were hanging out and planning an upcoming fishing trip. Unfortunately, he had to tell<br />
them that he couldn't go this time because his wife wouldn't let him. After a lot of teasing and name calling,<br />
Steve headed home frustrated. The following week when Steve's buddies arrived at the lake to set up camp,<br />
they were shocked to see Steve. He was already sitting at the campground with a cold beer, swag rolled out,<br />
fishing rod in hand, and a camp fire glowing. "How did you talk your misses into letting you go Steve?" "I didn't<br />
have to," Steve replied. "Yesterday, when I left work, I went home and slumped down in my chair with a beer<br />
to drown my sorrows because I couldn't go fishing. Then the ol' lady Snuck up behind me and covered my eyes<br />
and said, 'Surprise'. When I peeled her hands back, she was standing there in a beautiful see through negligee<br />
and she said, 'Carry me into the bedroom, tie me to the bed and you can do whatever you want,' So, Here I<br />
am!"<br />
First day Salesperson<br />
A young guy from Nebraska moves to Florida and goes to a big "everything under one roof" department store<br />
looking for a job. The Manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid says, "Yeah. I was a<br />
salesman back in Omaha." Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him the job. "You start tomorrow." I'll come<br />
down after we close and see how you did." His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it. After<br />
the store was locked up, the boss came down. "How many customers bought something from you today? The<br />
kid says, "One". The boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 to 30 customers a day. How much was<br />
the sale for?" The kid says, "$101,237.65 ". The boss says, "$101,237.65? What the heck did you sell?" The kid<br />
says, "First, I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook.<br />
Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast, so<br />
I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine<br />
Boston Whaler. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the<br />
automotive department and sold him that 4x4 Expedition." The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish<br />
hook and you sold him a BOAT and a TRUCK?" The kid said, "No, the guy came in here to buy Tampons for his<br />
wife, and I said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing.'"
