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

[*Angel*]

Honestly, my short answer to this is bc Black men and women don't have destructive natures, naturally. We are familiar with struggle today, but even before being enslaved, we were the conquerors and explorers. We don't stop for obstacles we overcome them.

White people are naturally destructive. Suicide is their shyt. They think the answer to a problem is to simply remove the problem, and if they can't escape the problem they remove themselves. That's what they've always done, and that's what they'll always do...naturally.

Some of the stuff--and you may not want to hear this--are self inflicted wounds. (ex. almost 3/4 of black kids are born to single parents--that would definitely effect your earning potential)

at how many "pro-black" people convenient forget this gem. :ididntseethis:

A single mom has a MAXIMUM of one paycheck. Likely a pretty small one considering the vast majority of single moms (regardless of race) are from poor and working class backgrounds.

Ya'll said black women had it the worst. It doesn't matter who I picked. Whenever information ya'll have should support having worst then them.

The worst...

↑↑↑

This is my only issues..."The worst," as in no one goes through as much as women, who are black/African-American.

You listed three names. Black women are comprised of over 20 Million ppl. And stuff like that is not exclusive to black women, nor do they go through that by themselves.

Black men get longer sentences than anyone, but, I'm not usin' that, John Crawford, Mike Brown and Eric Gardner as evidence that black men have it worst than anyone.

Again, I'm not here to say anyone has it easier than anyone else. I don't see black women as having it the absolute worst to where they're the 2nd most targeted and least supported group of people, in this country.

I think black women have it worst then black men honestly, black women are in two oppressed categories, they're women and black. Many black women are killed by cops, falsely imprisoned, and falsely stereotyped/and not really liked as a group. Black men have an outlet at least and many people see black men as cool, black women not so much. the stereotypes black men have can a lot of times help them out in a positive way. Studies show black men have an easier time in non black settings and work environments than their counterparts. Also black men make more than black women on average. Literally everyone targets black women even other black women, I dont get why some black men think they have it so easy.

Black Female Population

300 Million People In America

50% Are Women (150,000,000 Women)

Estimates:

17% (≈26,000,000 Latino females, in this country)

13% (≈20,00,000 Black females, in this country)

05% (≈8,00,000 Asian females, in this country)

“Business QuickFacts”

Owned firms by race

Hispanic (8%) Black (7%) Asian (6%)

Women own ≈ a third of all 28,000,000 firms in America

Black women have made significant strides on the educational front, outpacing their male counterpoints in getting college degrees at rates at higher levels than other women. The report also shows a steady decline in teen pregnancy and high school dropout rates for black women over the last decade and an uptick in how many black women get degrees.

As they have from the beginning of their experience in America, Black women lead all women in labor force participation rates. Even as mothers of small children, Black women are overwhelmingly likely to work.

According to that link on the incarceration;

There are a million in state and federal prison.

Black women (30%) Latino women (16%)

300,000 (15%) v. 160,000 (6%)

Black women work more that white & Hispanic women

They make more (weekly) that Hispanic men and women

U.S. had (26%) of children being raised by a single parent

(72%) Of Black Kids Raised By Single Parent

http://newsone.com/1195075/children-single-parents-u-s-american/



Despite Hispanic men and women having a bigger population; black women do better in certain areas.

Despite black kids being so inordinately raised in single parent homes.

Black women are able to work more, also.



As times has gone by, I've grown ashamed of playin' the "struggle Olympics," but, atleast I look into more.

I really concluded most people don't have it much more worst than each other. You'll find a lot of good stats on Asians, but, there only 15 million of them here. So it's shewed.




I don't feel vindicated, though. I just didn't like being made out to minimizing the plight of black women.

Stay strong, sistas.

What the fukk is the point of having the damn oppression olympics ? We're both equally losing and losing BAD.

Read this article and watch the youtube video:



An entire fukking city of black women are going missing and you haven't heard shyt about it anywhere. This idea that black women have it easy and black men are the REAL enemy of white folks is embarassing. You want me to start posting excepts of how white men used to hang black women upside down and cut the fetus out of their stomach so the mother can watch them stomp the babies skull before lynching her?

This whole argument is divisive as fukk and solves absolutely nothing. So please stop.

Whenever I read black women bringing up this same bullshyt talking point I say the exact same shyt to them.

I saw what you said about black woman dissapearing and no one caring and I was about to point out cleveland. I know cus I live there and there have been at least three high profile cases where a guy has kidnapped and killed black woman over a period of years and literally the only reason they get caught is they get sloppy and complacent in their demonic success.

this family that lived on my street had a family member that got killed by one of those guys

Please breh.....stop. Black men and black women get shytted on different ways. Some situations you're last and we're 2nd to last, in other situations it's the other way around.

It's a moot fukking point. Let's say we all agree you're the most hated in America. Congratulations. Now can we start to work together to get rid of this system that's been collectively kicking both of our asses ?

Breh, I really don't get those silly ass argument. They get kidnapped and murdered, we get pulled over and murdered. Either way what the fukk does arguing over who has it the worst solve.
