Why do you reckon white males kill themselves more than black people in the USA?

Not an assumption, i looked it up on a statistics site.

I know theres more white people than black but the number is disproportionate.

Also another question... why do more males than females kill themselves?
Yahoo... my question is why men kill themselves, not... "What causes suicide".
bob hikes, who are you trying to impress?
also, why so pedantic...
I'll call it ethnic group a and ethnic group b to make everyone happy.

look it up yourselves, its there.

If you don't know please don't answer the question, two points isn't that important.

It seems that it is true that white men kill themselves at a rate twice as high as black men and that men kill themselves at a rate four times as high as women.

"For all the categories it seems that white men over 85 have the highest rate. (Among the highest rates (when categorized by gender and race are suicide deaths for white men over 85. (54 per 100,000)"

My own wild guess regarding the Black vs White disparity would be that whites tend to live in the suburbs and blacks in the cities. The cities put you more in contact with people. When I was a child we lived in the city. People walked. They stopped and talked to their neighbors on porches. They traded neighborhood gossip over the back fence. They met in the corner store.

Suburbia isolates people. Nobody walks. Nobody has a front porch. Shopping is done miles away. We're stuck in a world with few contacts other than TV. Maybe 85 years is all us Whities can take.
