Why Are Black Women's Suicide Rates So Low? (Serious Thread)

[Cynical Thoughts]

Where's that study? Last time I checked depression was the number one precursor for attempting suicide.

White depressed hes not doing better than nikkas=kills himself
Chinese mad he aint a Doctor at 17= kills himself
White lady mad cause she cant find a rich man to support her= kills herself
Black woman mad she cant keep the dude who she tried to trap w/ a baby= kills baby j/k (figuratively and sometimes literally)

One thing u aimt gotta worry when u do a black women wrong is her tryna slit her wrists

How is that the same as:

But I can point to a post were you suggest black women not only marry someone making less than 30k but that she shouldn't expect him to financially contribute to the family. Lmao you're a joke

And when have I said date non Black women?

Wow, your example is really racist and inaccurate. Especially since black women enroll in college more than any other race and gender:

I see what you are doing. So you just read the begining of one sentence and argue amd ignore the very next word that anwsers your question.

Having to parents mean you are privileged now? Theme of the thread for the first few pages was how black women are strong cause they support everyone cause the man usually not around. I draw from experience. I grew up in the hood . So i call bullshyt when i see someone patting their self on the head for something i know could have been avoided.

I didnt come to talk about welfare but in my experience the majority of women on that strong black tip are on welfare, got kids and not with the dad. Dont change the narrative of the thread cuase you dont agree with someone.

That's just it y'all really believe all Black women live in the hood, have 2-3 babby daddies is on welfare that's the issue. You keep bringing up the hood when this is a study on black women of all ethnicities, classes, and statuses.
This says a lot about what black men really think about Black women. Well the few of you on this board. Y'all so busy trying to make sure people don't the think black women aren't better than black men you slid right past the point in the article were it said black men have the lowest of all men.
You all should just keep it real and say that you have issues with Black Women, and you don't want anything positive written about them on this forum.

Ask how do black women not have support while our own men shyt on the fact that we don't commit suicide brehs.

Okay you refuse to step into reality I see.
You just going to bypass the several post were I specified BLACK AMERICANS.
All Black people are Black but all Black people aren't Black American, but you knew that.
You just gone keep answering my questions with questions?
You're not slick and if in my short time here I peeped your b.s. I'm sure everyone else has too.
So cut the bullshyt and be real. You don't have to pretend you're a proud BlackMan , you don't have to hide the hate behind "trolling" let it all out.

I see no reason to put Black American women above other women of African dd\escent.....that is no secret

 

[Box Cutta]

We need to learn to draw upon this same strength to fuel other endeavors. Being able to take punishment is good...but we need to learn how to dish it out as well. Maybe that's why other races, while seemingly weak of conviction, still maintain superiority over us? Maybe we focus too much on suppressing fear and pain. Maybe we need to be more offensive....

makes me so proud to know that the only thing some not all but some of you take from this is "oh I can continue to shyt on black women, cuz dey so skrong"

Of course you don't.

 

[Arishok]

You'll aren't the least support, nor second most targeted.

On the coli? Yes and yes.

In the real world? Handful of groups have it worst. Black women need our support, tho.

I thought the OP dabbled in hyperbole.

Then who is most targeted after black men?

When did I say "Black Women are strong"

I said yall have high self esteem, come from matriarchal households and can deal with failure

Of course you don't.

Whats wrong with that? We all Black, right?

 

[Easy-E]

Then who is most targeted after black men?

@kayslay

I say black women aren't the least supported, 2nd most targeted group in America and that translates to "they have it easy"?

Dawg, those are some lofty claims for a group accomplishing as much as black women, in America.

They don't have it easy, but, it's not that (keyword) bad.

I'm not even editing any of my post. Ya'll are thinking emotionally.

I don't understand it.

I'm still waiting on ya'll to tell me how black women have so hard. The burden on proof is on ya'll.

Again; I'm not operating in polarity. It's not either the worst or easy street.

This thread suggest they have it the worst. I disagree. It's intellectually dishonest to suggest; I think they have it easy--as if there is no middle ground.

You believe it, firmly. You should be able to present an explanation.

I don't expect to change your mind. I'll admit; I'm trollin' a bit.

I pretty sure; it doesn't matter what group I name. Because I'm sure you'll ignore the many accomplishments black women are achieving. Then, only to magnify things they go through--some they probably have a big hand in.

For example; single parenthood. That's not exactly some type of disease they contracted. They made decisions to create the situation along with another adult. And it effects the entire black community, equally. Scratch that; it hurts black children thrice as much.

The fact of the matter; I don't think the evidence exist and it's just another example of the victim-hood we try find ourselves in.

The bolded might even offended you. You probably take that as (just like you did with my position on the state of BW) me sayin', all the things black folk go through is their fault.

No, it means we've come an extremely long way, despite the madness our race has had to live through.

I truly believe we live in the best time for black folk, collectively, that most any other time in America. Sixty years ago, we were being lynched with impunity.

We need to stop "embracing the struggle." It contributes to us neglecting breaking the cycle. Ex. Yea, this is gonna be my 2nd child out of wedlock, but, I've done it before, so I'm good.

Black women have it better than they've ever had. And despite the mess they go through, they've been through worst and will thrive.

I have too much love for us to believe we're down.

:dude:
