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

[Theraflu]

Breh I know you mean well, but shouldn't it be low. Maybe its just the way the title is, but I don't think it needs to be higher right?

You have completely missed my point havent u...

Strongest women on the planet

They're the mother of humanity so I wouldn't expect anything less

Black women are underrated

Black people, in general, have the lowest suicide rates in the world, but that doesn't get reported because TPTB don't want to throw out positive propaganda that would help us build self-esteem.

Whatever it takes to keep us behind or destroy us.

I grew up in a majority black neighborhood and I remember clearly I would have the faces even as a little kid watching white tv shows and how the kids were acting and the school life.

My family does this all the time
Used to watch Disney channel like "why is she talking to her mom like that? "
"That's disrespectful, why didn't she get smacked? "
"They didn't have to stuff the little guy in the locker like that "
"She failed her spelling test, why is she sneaking out to the party? "

It got ten times worse once Degrassi came out

Black males historically have similarly low suicide rates so it's not a gender issue. Black males and female all over the world have low suicide rates, even in places where single motherhood is rare, most people are poor, etc. It's something to do with being black. That means all your bullshyt about economic disadvantage, poverty,etc is bullshyt..

Good thread.

It definitely has to do with slavery and our ancestors going through that trauma and still surviving if that makes any sense. From slave auctions and families being ripped apart to the prison industrial complex ripping families apart, it's just a burden black women definitely carry and not for the good tbh. Because the complaints of attitudes is our way of releasing that bottled up emotion and being tough and hard. Every other woman gets to be feminine and delicate and gets to be saved, but black women, no way we gotta lift ourselves up and save our damn selves. To the point where we shut out those most important to us - black men.

Good Post :totheeastside:

And the crazy thing about it is that we've used this pain as a means of adding substance to music, art, comedy and other aspects of life. Its why our culture has always been leeched upon for its originality amongst other things.

The article actually says "open and honest communication, strong social support, and positive encouragement" are the reasons. Did anyone read the article?

Do you not understand that is what religion offers many people?

 

[Mowgli]

Were the oldest race on earth. Our dna seen this before. It's a rerun like .. Cacs are babies and can't understand why their thresholds aren't ours?

You're babies

And we laugh at our pain and dance, and live through it. That's why black culture is so vibrant and black people are just so damn funny and talented. Cause we learned to just laugh at ourselves and sing through our problems.

Just saw this :totheeastside:

Suicide is a Arab/Chink/CAC(jews or aryans) thing.

Like pedophilia, child molestation and massive school killings.

You will never see a black do that.

It's just not there.
