The number of middle-aged whites killing themselves has soared

Suicide rates in the United States have soared to a 30-year high, with the most striking surge among middle-aged women and white people, according to federal data released Friday.

“Of the top 10 causes of death — including cancer, strokes, heart disease — everything else went down but suicide went up,” he said. “It’s particularly striking among women, because they have traditionally had much lower suicide rates.”

For women between the ages of 45 and 64, the suicide rate jumped 63 percent in the 15-year period. It rose 43 percent for men in the same age group, according to the data.

there has been a 240% increase in suicide deaths among white females aged 10-14 since 1986. Overall, there was a 60% increase in suicides among white women of all age groups since 1986. The biggest increases in all ages and races between the years 1986 and 2014 and races occurred after 2006. The data can be viewed here.

I’m sure that long term unemployment plays a part in it.

You’re 45-60 years old. Laid off. Mortgage to pay, kids in college, food and other cost soaring.

I think it's more of the childless ones that off themselves. Same problems though: laid off, costs soaring, and no reason to continue the charade. From a google search: "Living alone and being single increase the risk of suicide"

I have some thoughts on this, but would probably have the NSA crawling up my butt if I expressed them in a public forum.

Same thing happened in the Weimar Republic

Amazing, isn't it, how little history people know.

Like, calling the anti-Trump protesters "fascists" and "brownshirts", when they are obviously the Weimar America equivalent of the Red Front.

The brownshirts come next.

One other possible cause; guilt over voting for Obama. Twice. Or, to put it another way; reload and shoot yourself in the other foot.

Guilt?

Insightful replies. I’d put the causes as

1. Increasing religious relativism
2. Increasing psychoactive drug use
3. Feminism resulting in singleness, promiscuity, and childlessness, abortion history.
4. Poverty
5. Hopelessness

All related to #1

Perhaps these women bought into the feminist trope and either put off having children or maybe had abortions to achieve career success and now find themselves with a career and nothing else.

White America is the designated hate-object in post-Modern America.

White America must pay for it’s sins of White Privilege and being the Oppressor of Peoples of Color.

This is why they must be ethnically cleansed and replaced by Peoples of Color imported from every corner of the Third World, the more hostile to America the better.

I hope that this clarification of the Gospel According to Obama has helped.

A very famous Democrat once said “it’s the economy, stupid!”

In light of the fact that a large number of despair deaths can be attributed to the lack of jobs, particularly for the middle-aged, who in other generations have been at the top of their earning power, I’d have to make one, simple, observation.

People who think women are going to embrace the status quo, and vote for Hillary, and not look for something better, are missing a key part of Trump’s appeal.

Yes. I was going to say destruction of the family and loss of jobs.
