The pandemic is taking a toll on children's mental health and experts are sounding an alarm about a disturbing increase in depression and suicide among Black youth.

Data from the state Department of Public Health shows the suicide rate of young Black Californians has doubled since 2014.

Another success story brought to you by the California Teachers Association

With the MSM et al yelling at minorities that the majority hates them, and that society is stacked against them, and with divorce etc wrecking the family, these numbers are not surprising.

And don't forget, there are data showing that Democrat teachers outnumber Republicans.

The Empire is doing its job.

Meanwhile, the Return of the Jedi is upon us: between spring 2020 and fall 2021, the number of Black families choosing to home-school increased five-fold from 3.3% to 16.1%.

At least this will get the MSM talking about shutdown-induced suicides.

Whatever will the advertising industry do, losing these potential actors in TV commercials?

Hmmmm. Guess in order to maintain equity/equality(?), more white kids need to support the trend huh?

I really have a strong dislike for some(most) of these assclown libs. Suicide is terrible. Sad to say I’ve known more than my share who have done it. Very selfish act........

Be interesting to compare black youth suicide deaths vs black youth COVID deaths

[skeeter]

Or black youth vs all youth suicides. I don’t remember the MSM making a big deal out of youth suicides in general last year.

Things might be better if the Democrats and the press (redundant, I know) didn't keep telling black people they're inferior and can't make it without help from white people.

Dear black people: Accept equality!

“Very selfish act...”

Sorry, but I am so damn sick and tired of hearing that. It is total BS. The selfish person is NOT the one that commits suicide, rather is the parent, spouse, sibling, or friend that spends everyday with that person but is so wrapped up in their own selfish little world that they fail to either recognize the signs or intervene. And then when the person breaks and finally kills themselves, everybody sits around feeling sorry for themselves and says, “I never could have seen that coming. How selfish of HIM/HER.”

[rktman]

Lots of the suicides are very good at covering up their issues.
