I've known black people, including a few family members who pass off depression and suicidal behavior as demon possession, "not being thankful", and lack of faith.

It's interesting that you mentioned that. I was watching a pastor on TV, and for the past few days she's been saying that people are so busy being 'religious' (i.e. judgmental) that they forgot to be compassionate.

That's so true.
