Correct because that's where I live, it's a nice relatively crime free area where you will find people of low income to the extremely wealthy. No one has been murdered here for decades and If someone gets shot it's more likely to be accident than a murder. If I'm a black man the chances of being murdered by another black rises extraordinarily.

I have no fear of being attacked by blacks, I avoid areas where that is likely. Worse case scenario if something like that was to occur someone is getting shot black, white or purple with pink polka dots.

"At the end of day" the black community needs to quit making up excuses and solve these problems.

The suicide rates are high among all males, yes?

Don't despair. It actually doesn't have that much. Not anywhere near enough to make you commit suicide.

True, so is the murder rate. Women who are black are probably as likely to be murdered as white men.

True. Black women who were murdered in 2013 numbered around 800. Black males who were murdered numbered around 5200. Black males are more than 6 times as likely to be murdered as Black females. And 9 times out of 10, another Black male is committing that murder. If anyone has something to worry about in regards to safety, it's Black males.

Why is death rate rising for white, middle-aged Americans? - BBC News

Increase use of painkillers/opioids

Decreasing prosperity- white men are instilled to be 'better than their fathers'- expectation failure

Decreasing health-
Quote:
In the study, researchers found increased numbers of declining self-reported health, mental health and ability to work.
Middle-aged whites reported problems with walking a quarter of a mile, climbing 10 steps, standing or sitting for two hours, shopping and socialising - some of which are risk factors for suicide.
People may be working blue-collar jobs which keep them inactive, working odd hours or doing hard physical labour which is taking a toll.
Mr Remington said that for much of the study's time period, people were uninsured.
"Forty-five to 54 is an age range where people can struggle. They may be in mid-life, they may not have the means, or health insurance or access to primary care," said Mr Remington.
The pattern of mortality decline slowdown is troublingly similar to what happened in the US during the height of the Aids epidemic, the researchers point out.

Number I found of whites total was 62.6%. That's men and women. Just white men would be probably somewhere around 31.3% of the total population. So 70% of the population aren't white men, but white men make up 70% of suicides.

Thanks for playing!

There are roughly 43,000 suicides in this country every year, and we commit 70% of them. This has to end.
Define "we". Thank you!
