I trained Sheng Long and Shonuff
My girls friend from college just committed suicide a few months back. Mental illness gives a fukk about race.

As I mentioned the first thread about this issue, only a section of black children have a higher rate of suicide than other groups. In general, blacks DO NOT have a higher suicide rate than other groups. As of right now, blacks actually have a lower overall suicide rate than other groups.
You raised an amazing point here... So many Black boys and young Black men make "slow suicide" decisions with the belief that: they are going to die young anyways, going to live a shytty impoverished life so why cherish it, or nobody gives a shyt about the hood/me anyways so fukk all consequences

So you neg me for stating facts about black people, @MAKAVELI25 cac?
I can give you 20 graphs and statistics with the same conclusion: Official suicide rates among African Americans is lower than average in the USA and has been so since rates were first recorded. This trend has never wavered.

I believe it's time to finally acknowledge the big elephant in the room in regards to black youths: shytty parenting
Many of these children - especially the boys - are physically and verbally abused in the household by their parent(s)(single mothers). In the past, men would usually take the abuse by their parent(s) and hold it in because that is what black men are supposed to do - not complain. If you did complain, you were deemed disgrace to your family and community as a whole.
So, the boys would take the abuse silently, only for the demons suffered in childhood to manifest in other areas(hyper-aggression, drugs, poor/absentee parenting, and eventually, violence and abuse). All in all, you were never to criticize your parents, especially your mother, under any circumstances whatsoever.
Now that Black American males have become increasingly less religious, and thus unafraid to go to "hell," things such as suicide don't carry the same stigma that it once carried in Black America - and the result is an increase in suicide rates among Black males.
It's not funny anymore. It is now time to look at mental illness among Black males seriously and fully examine where it came from. The days of laughing and calling other Black males "soft" or "bytchmade" whenever they complained or voiced frustration about the abuse they suffered are now over. Many Black males feel they have nothing to live for, and, in my opinion, that stems from terrible leadership and positive reinforcement on the part of their parent(s). Couple that with an American society that is becoming increasingly misandrist and hostile toward males in general, with young white boys in the school system drugged via medication, and black boys neglected and/or made to feel worthless, and you get the situation that we have now.
It's not funny anymore. The big elephant has now entered the room, time to deal with it.

I didn't even read your post, breh. I just don't like you
So you admit to being an ignorant know-nothing buffoon who is always mad when the facts don't agree with the c00n/cac perspective, then? Great. Wrong now as ever, fakkit.
