Hi! I`m Don Barbera, author of "Say It Loud: I'm Black and I'm Depressed," a close examination of a subject not spoken of in the black community. Spoken or unspoken, depression is a serious problem, especially in black men. Most of my writing appears in newspapers, magazines and journals. I am a former newspaper journalist and magazine editor whosHowever, I now do reporting for various news .com sites. My primary interests are today's social issues and the negative effects of religion.


I am completing research for a new book "Belief vs. Behavior: The Failure of Christianity to make a Difference," a look at how despite 7 of 10 Americans claiming Christianity the statistics show that Christians act the same as the secular world.


I am a social activist.I get involved. I don't mind getting my hands dirty.



I actively seek answers and I reject any answer that only comes from authority alone without evidence. I am a freethinker by nature and by training. In short, I am a searcher after knowledge.



My writing activities kep me uccupied. 2006 was the last time I was active on this page, but now I'm back and I will be looking for new and old friends.
