Do you mean young boys or men in general? Men of every race off themselves (and each other) more than women generally.

Actually contact Dr. Johnson, he responds breh........

What does this prove? His tweet is a fragment sentence. It's a fact that black girls commit suicide at higher rates.

no, black girls attempt at higher rates as with most females.... boys actually complete suicide....

@reasonable_doubter , with all due respect, you are bringing TLR logic to the Root section. I think four separate posters challenged you on the source of your comment. I even posted the CDC numbers about suicide rates in America across gender and race. Your response is to ignore that and direct us to a tweet and twitter account from a man who holds a Ph.D in Cultural Studies.

Premise of thread is one that needs to be talked about, but we are grown men in here. If somebody challenges you on a stat you cited, you either show the source of the stat, or you retract the comment. Retracting the comment would not take away from your overall point.
