White suicide is the least talked about epidemic in this country, yet it seems to not matter because people are more concerned with gang bangers taking out other gang bangers in chicago. I don't get it.
There are roughly 43,000 suicides in this country every year, and we commit 70% of them. This has to end.
My observation is that the mainstream media sweeps black-on-black violence under the rug, not surprisingly given their leftist political agenda. It's the conservative bloggers and AM talk radio that goes ballistic over urban violence.

Yep, and also drug use despite whites are equally likely to abuse drugs as blacks.
The normal definition of mass shooting is 4 or more victims, per capita blacks are over represented in this category of crime of too. It's not some crazy number like the murder rates but nonetheless it's still a higher rate than whites.
Didn't know we had so many mathematicians on city-data.
Spitting out FBI statistics on people you don't even have regular contact with.
Great.
More likely to be attacked by a 20 year old single sexually frustrated male from a upper middle class family in the suburbs than you are from these so called "thugs" you are spitting statistical data about.
At the end of the day, brainwashed...fearful people like you are just part of the problem

How can anyone know how many suicides there are? If incompetent cops investigate a murder, and can't find evidence that it's a murder, do they call it a suicide or what? If someone falls off a high bridge, and nobody knows if they fell accidentally or it was a suicide, what statistics do they add it to? If someone murders someone and leaves a suicide note to distract attention from the murderer, is that called a suicide, if there are no cops competent enough to find evidence that it's a murder? If someone falls asleep at the wheel of a car, and hits a tree, is that always called an accident? What if they didn't fall asleep, but hit the tree deliberately? How could anyone know?
Therefore, suicide statistics are nonsense. Nobody actually has the slightest idea whether 30,000 white males commit suicide every year. What do you expect the media to report? They should report each by the details, such as the car hit a tree or the person fell 300 feet, without imputing motives to them when any attempt to know those motives is nothing but pure speculation.
Gangs of armed children on the other hand, at war with each other, are a more reportable story, because the motives are more obvious.

Good luck with that.
If it feels good, keep lying to yourself.
I don't fear anyone, btw. According to you, they fear me.
Sir, sorry but your math is wrong whites make up 65% of the population and white males make up less than white females so it safe to say that 31-32% of the population is committing 70% of the Suicide that is a very high rate of suicides.
Blacks in the U.S. have shorter life expectancy than white males (or white females) due to street violence, poverty, higher infant mortality rates, less access to affordable healthcare, and many other factors. If a middle aged white man considers suicide, he should be thankful that he's lived that long. Black men (and women) have to hope that they live to that age.
Hey, did you know that black children are twice as likely to kill themselves as white children? Let's focus on some stats that are too often ignored by the media, like that one.
Good post but only in Honduras does street violence ever affect life expectancy and even then only 1 in 60 men, or it might have been 600 if I remember the correct stat, die of getting shot. Also if you expand that to women a who are probably only a fifth of all people murdered it probably increases to one in 500 or 5000. Most die of diseases and other things related to diseases. In the U.S it is probably one in three thousand or higher will get murdered in their lifetime. So murder rate never effect life expectancy except if a country is at war for two or three decades with high civilian casualties or genocide might affect life expectancy.

I think it's the rate of deaths per 100,000 that matters, rather than the raw numbers. Since there are a lot more whites than other races, there would naturally be a lot more white deaths. That's why you compare percentages or rates per 100,000. That's what tells the story.
The #1 cause of death of pregnant women in America is homicide. Why aren't people talking about that?
There's room to talk about everything and be concerned about everything. Suicide is a very different thing from homicide. Suicide is about depression, often.
Suicide is not generally as much a concern as criminal violence, because it's not as prevalent, and because it's inflicted on victims. Suicide is self-inflicted.
BTW, there have been stories in the news over the years about teen suicide. I think most white male suicides are by young people.
That's like comparing apples and oranges. OP you sound like a skin head.
