Most forum members on this website have proven time and time again with cold hard facts that the white race is under seige for no other reason than being superior. Whites are no longer aloud to simply state facts such as IQ tests being higher, having lower crime rates, and overall managing a much cleaner more aesthetic culture, for if they do, they are labeled racist, mean spirited, and oppressing to minorities. Now, I must reveal the most horrifying statistic of this entire debacle and devolution of American society: White men are killing themselves at record rates. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/feb/07/suicide-rates-rise-butte-montana-princeton-study The suicide rate of white men 45 and up has risen sharply since 1999. Does that sound like a coincidence to you? I think not. And we all know the blame: blacks mexicans muslims The spike in suicide moves hand in hand with the rise of affirmative action and most offensive of all...black lives matter. White men are choosing not to continue shouldering the white man's burden, no, they are choosing the lesser of two evils. Can you blame them when they offer other races opportunity after opportunity only to be thanked with mass rape, crime, and under performance? Would it be possible to for trump to extend the ban on muslims to the expulsion of the inferior races? How else can this country stem the bleeding of its most valuable asset?
I was almost one of those men. I came about a breath away from pulling the trigger. In fact. I was making this point long before anyone else. Yes, we older white men are dropping like flies due to suicide. But I don't blame the political culture or race or economics [though money is often at the heart of this in other ways]. What I see are men like me who are dying because our lives have been sabotaged by the culture of marriage. We are considered to be expendable and are disrespected at every turn. We are expected to work our lives away until we drop with nothing in return. We are held hostage in sexless marriages where we are treated like crap and stand to lose almost everything if we try to change. It cost me most of what I had but I realized that I either had to get out or I was dead. I talk about this very subject and how I turned my life around in this thread. http://www.politicalforum.com/member-casual-chat/485891-my-second-life-other-secrets.html Perhaps the most impressive evidence that I am right. People get all worked up about deaths from guns. You can find thread after thread after thread about gun violence. But when it comes out that 2/3 of all deaths from guns in the US are due to suicide, and largely white men, the discussions stop. Nobody gives a damn. Suddenly it is a non issue. We are expendable. In my view, feminism has made life for many of us intolerable. It has gone too far with entire generations of women [not all of course but a large percentage] who see themselves as perpetual victims and always blame men no matter the problem. I first saw it with my ex and then started seeing it all around me. From early on we are all taught that women are victims and men are not to be respected. And we are vilified for being what we are - sexual creatures. This is the one bit of common ground that I have with Trumpers. White men have been getting shafted for decades and it has to stop.
It's associated with financial issues especially after the 2008 financial crisis and suicide rates are rising among poor white people. This group of voters overwhelmingly voted for Trump, hoping that President Trump would protect American factory jobs, which are shipped out to China and Mexico.
You left "Jews" out of your racist rant. We'll just ignore the title of the article: "Financial despair, addiction and the rise of suicide in white America " and blame it on the minorities. Weird no mention of any "inferior" race in the reason. So why is this thread in race relations? It should be in a special sub-forum called "Racist Idiocy and the Troglodytes Who Spread It."
I thought a collapsing economy, a failing marriage, a failing business, deaths in the family, the death my closest friend and other events were what drove me to the edge. But I found that one can deal with the tribulations of life if your most basic needs are being met. So I don't think any factor driving men to suicide can be considered without taking into account their personal lives. I only started planning my suicide when I wouldn't remember the last time I was hugged. Honest to God, after everything that I had been through, that was what put me over the edge. As it turned out, what I needed was intimacy. I could deal with everything else if my most basic needs were met.

Well, technically speaking, the question isn't whether white men are committing suicide, but rather how many productive children they sire before they go... The mormons are at least doing their part on that one. The white birth rate is the statistic you want to worry about, and iirc, it is lower than other ethnicities. Or conversely, the minority birth rate... with universal healthcare we could at least encourage them to take contraceptives more easily. Half of children are unplanned.
I hate to be the one to say, but forum members have failed to prove that whites were under any type of siege from non-whites. At worst, it is more of a suicide than anything else. We can tell this from the suicidal behaviors of white women. White women are suffering lower mortality rates due to drinking--they are drinking themselves to death. Without being too long I'll just say that this ordeal is more rooted in a self-inflicted wound versus some put upon by some non-white minority. Just my 2.
