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

[kayslay]

When did I say "Black Women are strong"

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



Whats wrong with that? We all Black, right?

So you're a narcissist on top of being amongst other things, huh?
You clearly see who I quote , and what I was replying.
Funny the only type of Black you have criticism for is that of the American persuasion, with female anatomy.

You quoted me

And I criticize Black American men and the African diaspora in general

 

[kayslay]

My fault for quoting you but I clearly was responding to the other quote.
You think the this bump in the road is the fault of BA women and them only. My point still stands.
You have no loyalty to the Black American community so do us a favor and keep you b.s. advice to your self you cowards always want to recruit others to join in on your cowardice.

When have I said this?

I am Black American by slave descent, I will voice any displeasure I have with our community and the African diaspora at large

 

[Beerus]

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"

Nah im just saying like if i happen to do her wrong or I have to leave her cuz shyt aint feeling it no more well I wont have to worry bout leaving her cuz she wont do that shyt.
Sorry I should have formulated my response better.

That doesn't make sense. But ok part time I see you

If you not a part of the solution you're apart of the problem.

because they are strong women

:dude:

I'm asking a legit question, I can't think of anyone who has it worse than black women other than black men. We go through the same shyt other than being profiled by the police, we get longer jail sentences than white women just like black men get longer jail sentences than white men.

 

[Cynical Thoughts]

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.

To clarify im speaking on the "strong black women" narrative. I rearly if ever hear a women not somewhat link to the hood call theirselves "strong". Nowadays its only women in situation they could of avoided who talk this way. It usually seems like a defensive tactic.

If a man gets out of proson for a crime he did then ends up owning his own business, nobody calls him a strong black man. Why is that?

This says alot about you. When i didnt spell it out for you, you assumes the worse. I gave you an example (contrary to what you say I believe)then You tell me im patting my self on the back for knowing people that's opposite of what you say i think all black women are like.

This is a f'd up topic regardless. What group of people wants support for NOT commiting suicide.

Only way to dap bw is to shyt on other women and men within their own race.

"You aint supposed to kill yourself you low expectation having muthafukka ...."

 

[bouncy]

it really is, the military hope to find why their suicide rates are so low

They support each other, even when they are in the wrong. In order to keep going through life's hardships you need a support system, and black women have it. Either through family or friends or both. For men, when shyt hits the fan, a lot of times you are on your own. Either get up, and be a man, or you lose respect. A woman can have different kids from different men, and keep fukking up, but she will have people still by her side.

Which ever mod moved this back here is a smart mod.

i come at this from a different angle
i am on my laptop-so this is from memory

there was a study of coping resources
99% sure this was main publication
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8300870

i believe it was five categories

• physical
• spiritual (or "philosophical' for non-religious)
• emotional
• cognitive
• social

we each have our preferences
also in absolute scale- some people have stronger/better/more coping mechanisms than others
for instance, i have above average overall (as measured by a test)
physical = high, social and cognitive = above average
but the other two are pretty weak for me

what does this make me good at??
and where does it leave me vulnrable??
sometimes life hands you a problem that can't be-
exercised away, talked out, or rationalized away
then what?? (for someone like myself)

now imagine the military- enlisted people on frontline
holding a gun, not a support worker
what coping mechanisms would this self-selected group possess?
probably not the stuff needed to cope with ptsd

the same could be said about ex-athletes killing themselves (NFL in particular)

think about it- if you wanted to be as non-suicidal as possible
which of those five coping categories would you choose to draw from??
cognitive coping might even be pro-suicide (in case of debilitating ailments or fear of being tortured to death)
social coping might be problematic if your situation is shameful or criminal in nature
physical coping could also be counterproductve if being in bad health is part of the problem

i am not an expert, have never been suicidal myslef
just some food for thought

Good post as usual, old timer.
