>Whites officially commit suicide more than blacks because blacks who are even slightly inclined to self-destruction find it all to easy to get into situations that produce death by means that won't officially be viewed as suicide.

We all know what you're implying but you're making that statistic up.

Implying? I was being explicit, if general because I was referring to a broad class of phenomenon. If you think I was using code for something narrowly specific, you are mistaken.

Yes, you're saying that suicide rates for blacks are lower because they are killed by means that aren't seen as suicide at a higher rate. That's a statistic. Please back it.
