A major health issue that affects thousands of people each year is suicide, according to experts on the medical condition.

“It is the third leading cause of death among African Americans ages 15-24. Even though we are killing ourselves fewer times at a lower rate, it’s a big concern as to why is it happening at younger ages,” he said.

Impossible. Obama is president, bee-yotch!

Before Obola took office, vehicular accidents were the leading cause of death in the USA.

Since Obola took office, suicide is the leading cause of death in the USA.

It's not just blacks, though I do realize that only blacks and homosexuals matter.

However, even though there are very high rates of suicidal behavior in the African American community, African-American suicide rates in 2011 were much lower in comparison to other groups at 5.3 percent compared to 14.5 percent of Whites ..........but there are still significant concerns, Grant said.

lower rates....more whining??

[Mastador1]

Is that what they’re calling what’s happening in Chicago and Detroit now?

[I want the USA back]

Just look around for the nearest White person. There. He’s the one to blame.

though I do realize that only blacks and homosexuals matter.

And muzzies. Barry's personal trifeca.

[petercooper]

So 1 out of 7 white people kill themselves?

[Iron Munro]

Perhaps if the race pimps and other democrats stop telling blacks they are so stupid and incompetent that they can’t do anything at all without Big Government assistance they wouldn’t be so depressed.

[MeshugeMikey]

i have to wonder why I hadnt heard of...nor NOTICED this....at all??

we’d need a far greater Replacement Rate if this were indeed true/

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Because they are the foundation and cornerstone of our country. We were founded by black guy suicidal people.

[all the best]

NO surprise. If your whole life and existence is devoted to whining, ingratitude and bitterness, is guaranteeeeed to result in depression If these folks would try a little gratitude, appreciation and love, things would turn around. All too many a re committed to the way of the loser: whine, moan, hate, repeat.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I stand corrected.

No. More government jobs and free money for blacks to make the gap even bigger.

[SoFloFreeper]

Truly, the poverty of spirit is taking a toll on young people.

I think it IS a tragedy that so many young blacks are dying. The lies they have been told by the statists make them depressed, and too many of them despair.

[SoFloFreeper]

I had not heard that statistic. Are you certain?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I meant to say non-natural cause of death.

Bad diets, no exercise, nagging wife

Before Obola took office, vehicular accidents were the leading cause of death in the USA.

Since Obola took office, suicide is the leading cause of death in the USA

Neither of those statements are remotely true.
