Singer Houston speaks on eye and gang rape.

I’m only posting these videos because I always wondered what happened to this guy. R & B singer Houston (Summers) had a hit singe, “I Like That” a few years back. Unfortunately, he later gouged his left eye out in an apparent suicide attempt. He pretty much disappeared after that. Based on these video, he still seems a bit unstable.Mental health in the Black community is part of my research. I really hope he’s getting the help he needs.

yo i got the feeling that the whole rape thing and the reason he gouged his eye out are tied together. maybe he saw something he wasnt suppose to see. anyone who cant read between the line need to pay close attention. hes talkin about stoppin rape period! about gettin you manhood took. not just in jail… he gouged his eye out because he either saw a man get raped or hes been raped himself by the industry. and i mean really raped. Im down with his movement homie…

Poor poor Houston! I feel so awful for him and i really hope he gets the help, love and support he needs. Clearly this brother’s been raped and that’s what’s sent him mad, made him try to kill himself and inflict such an injury upon himself. Poor guy. Stop rape for EVERYONE MEN, WOMEN AND KIDS!!! This is what happens to people who are abused. There needs to be more done to support victims, prevention to stop it happening and understanding so people are not blamed themselves when it does happen. There needs to be more education on Rape Trauma Syndrome, grooming and sexual predators. All the love in the world, hope and prayers for The Panther, The Man and the beauty that is still Houston Summers xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You don’t know what he’s been through. He’s still a young cat, and it’s unfortunate that he’s had to deal with some mental issues. One of the best ways for mental health to improve in the black community is for its members to remove the stigma that comes from seeking help. Unfortunately, such an emphasis is placed on being resilient and strong (for men and women) that seeking help seems, to some, like weakness. In fact, it takes a strong person to admit they’re dealing with serious issues and to seek better health and a stronger life. Houston is in my prayers.

Man I personally don’t believe this eye thing was tied to any rape…IT MAY HAVE….
But dude was off of some PCP/angel dust/sherm when he did that to his eye…
PCP has TERRIBLE psycological effects on the mind…You really see things that ARE NOT THERE!
I read about a guy (black guy) who did some PCP and he then thought his girl was the devil, so he killed her and ate some of her RIBS….TRUE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!
So in conclusion, PCP + A Young Unstable Mind = Somebody’s eye getting gouged out…..
This could have happened to anybody! DID YOU SEE WHAT PCP DID TO SMOKEY IN FRIDAY? (I know its a movie but that gives you an example of the MENTAL effects this drug can have)

Dude should of never of fucked with that pcp…

I’m glad to know that he is doing the best he can. I had the chance to meet him when he was promoting his hit single, “I Like That” and he seemed like a genuinely nice man. I wish him all the best and happiness in all that he wants to achieve. God Bless him. Heaven and Love.
I think its admirable that he wants to bring attention to the negative culture of the prison system on our men. It takes a strong concious man to address it so openly and honestly in a society that doesnt the way it should. God bless him again with the strength and wisedom and heart to continue his work that will hopefully hundreads of thousands of young men and boys in our country from a harmful circumstance. Grace him with your power to be strong. For he will be of great need for our childrens and people’s future. Father God help him.
Proud of you Houston!

This brother is not and never was crazy. He comes from a religious background and most people that do and are truly for God do not last in the music industry. There is a reason DMX is constantly on the news and made out to be a crazy crackhead. There are reasons why certain artists are sky rocketed into dangerous levels of fame and others are not even when they are more talented. If you think that sodomy is not a real issue then think about the high HIV rate among African-American women and one of the major causes of it. Think of all the men who are “on the downlow” and the causes of that. Anyone who thinks this dude is crazy is veiled by the false reality that the media and entertainment industry wants them to be veiled by.

It amazes me how people these days are so alright with the fact that prison rape happens at all. If it only occured every other day it could be happening to any male member of your family. It could be happening to someone who did not even commit the crime they are incarcerated for. Imagine being in prison 20 years for something you didn’t do, being subject to systematic gang rape and the breaking of your spirit, then being released with the assistance of Project Innocence and having all those horrible memories to take with you. We are to love everyone but the desensitization of people to homosexuality is sad these days. It is even becoming a trend and promoted in campaignes and entertainment. Lord Jesus, hurry back!

Its so obvious that dude definitely has a serious mental issue. Probably schizophrenia, and anyone who thinks other wise something is wrong with your judgment. He needs some help and it’s sad that his family is in such denial that they can’t get him the help he needs.

I think he gouged out his eye due to the pressures of joining the illuminati, due to his success
I’m finally out with a quote from K-Sly talking about the incident of the R&B Singer Houston who strangely took his own eye out to get out the game, the eye of Lucifer.
“I was told he wanted to commit suicide and stabbed his eye out,…” “…He was telling people he was Jesus and wanted to go home to his Father” via VH1
Think about it

I think that something happend to him and he feels his man hood was taken away… If you was raped that don’t make less of a man that just mean you had a very bad thing happen to you… I pray that he read this and that he get the strength that he need to keep him going it a long process but i know in my heart that if he stay prayed up he can over come whatever happend to him I will pray for him i Love his song bye bye love i have it on my ipod …. hope to hear from him real soon

I feel terrible for this guy. The music industry just chewed him up and spit him out at the first sign of trouble. I agree that in most communities mental health is still a taboo topic, when it shouldn’t be. Mental illness transcends all racial and economic barriers. Substance abuse is something that typically goes hand in hand with mental issues as a way of coping. PCP no doubt has some profound phycological effects. But coming from someone that is experienced with smokin dust, you don’t just gouge your eye out and have a situation like that. This was a long time coming for him, it doesn’t matter if your 20 or 60 your brain will catch up with you. Just watching these videos is pretty sad. I don’t know what he’s gone though, but i’m sure it was bad. The fact he doesn’t seem to acknowledge that he needs help at all is very sad. I hope this dude gets some kind of help that works for him and gets him to where he needs to be. My prayers are with him to get some peace of mind.

hahahahaha!!!! damn its not really funny but damn… you can tell that the nigga is on drugs!!!! hella!
Comment by Dahottest on August 16, 2010 5:18 pm
He is displaying classic schizophrenia behavior……and he doesnt have to actually have to be a victim of sodomy…he could just be fixated on it because of his illness …to him sodomy could represent the biggest offense against someones manhood…and for whatever reason he feels like he lost his manhood….possibly because he can no longer support his family, etc…but who knows….very sad. His old management says they fell out with the family because they were in denial about his condition…he had probably just began to start to slip mentally when his career took off…..the managers and bodygaurds have been quoted as saying he was displaying odd behavior, unlike any sane person…and out of the blue started carrying around a bible 24/7…….and trying to hurt himself….outburst, etc……they even had him hospitalized….against his family wishes……pretty sad. Its hard for family members to admit that someone they love, that has appeared sane for years, all of a sudden becomes mentally ill. Thats the beast of schizophrenia…..Ive seen it happen up close and personal……..very sad…..its obvious he’s somewhat “off” in this vid.
Comment by Very Sad For this Young Man on August 23, 2010 7:22 pm
Yes I think Houston is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from a gang rape in prison. He didn’t know how to deal with that, but the brother seems emotionally crushed. I hope he seeks professional health help.
