black suicide? You never really hear of blacks wanting to commit suicide. They usually think too highly of themselves.

Suicide is more common among black males aged 25-
29, and among black females 15-19, than it is among
whites in the same age brackets.
The suicide rate for blacks aged 15-34 is now higher
than it has been in more than fifty years. Between 1970
and 1975 the rate for males in the 25-29 age bracket increased
42%.
Among whites, suicide is most likely to occur in middle
life or old age, but among blacks the incidence of suicide
is highest for the young: 47% of black suicides occur
in the 25-34 age bracket.
