It's amazing the things people will choose to believe.
According to an article that appeared in the Journal of Black Psychology:Historically, suicidal behaviors among African Americans received scant attention because of the belief that very few African Americans completed suicide; it was also assumed that they did not experience depression. Blacks were historically viewed as a psychologically unsophisticated race that were naturally high spirited and unburdened with a sense of responsibility.
I hope I don't believe anything that will seem this patronizing, groundless, or simply wacky to those with more perspective.
