| Topic | Looked at the CDC reports for deaths for black males >_> |
| AdviceMan 01/15/18 4:35:28 PM #1: | And wow, pretty ridiculous. https://www.cdc.gov/healthequity/lcod/men/2014/black/index.htm. Homicide never drops below the 4th most common reason why black men die until they pass the 45 age group, and then it drops to 7th. From 15-34 it is the leading cause, reaching almost 50% from 15-24. For white men, homicide never breaks 10%. Now, I'm black and I absolutely agree that police should be held accountable when they fuck up, and fuck up they do. But if you're a low income african american man in a bad neighborhood, your biggest health risk is other black men killing you for your entire young adult life.. That's fucking insane. Gotta figure out a way to drop those violence levels. --- "I'm not racist but, BLM sure did make me racist." -Skasa I'm just here to offer you advice, take it or leave it. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
