Only because it's a dig at hrc.
Probably right but both were exceptionally bad. But that's been debated ad nauseum.

I didn't say you wished death on BAC because he's black. TTQ64 did.
You and BAC both think this is war. And in war you wish death on the enemy. You're right, I don't wish death on people who think differently than me politically.

This is war .. and a war that you have the luxury of not even noticing.
I haven't wished death on anyone .. I simply don't give a damn about what happens to racists.

If that means passing off this mortal coil due to old age so be it
White privilege? Do you even know what the fuck you’re talking about?

Actually yes. But again, please elaborate on what I said that was bullshit
That white male suicide somehow negates white privilege?
I don’t even know where to begin to reply to such massive stupidity.

""but if white males are so special and privileged .. why are they killing themselves is such astronomical numbers?""
this is what I responded to in the OP. Notice he wrote "if". Hence the question I asked. Too much for you and Desh to understand clearly.

because in their souls they KNOW their privilege is based on evil
YOUR question was clear.
You asked if white suicides then negate white privilege. That’s the massively stupid question I was responding to.

So in your world the statement I was responding to means nothing. Nice try "tough guy".
Older, uneducated males from impoverished socioeconomic backgrounds could hardly be called "privileged"; so, the question is based on a false premise.
All the election analyses described the white working class Trump supporters as "without a college degree." Partisans seeking to denigrate those voters changed the description to "uneducated." This tells me a lot about why those people voted for Trump--because they were looked down upon by the educated elitists.
That goes against another prominent theory describing Trump voters as those feeling they are being left behind.

The Democrats used to be the party of the working man, the blue collar union worker. But as the economy has moved from an industrial economy to the information age that has changed. Now the white working class man is considered uneducated and a deplorable.
I think your analogy is spot on above. On the other side of the fence you see some Republican rhetoric towards specifically blacks then they wonder why we can't get black votes.
Women are three times more likely to attempt suicide, men are just more successful because they use guns.
I wouldn't think uneducated males from impoverished backgrounds would have high expectations.
It is higher among veterans and we are seeing a large cohort of Vietnam era vets hit old age.

From the link:
""Adult females reported a suicide attempt 1.2 times as often as males. Further breakdown by gender and race are not available.""
But we know young people try suicide as well.
If this is correct:
Differences in Suicide Among Men and Women
Differences Between Men and Women in Suicide and Suicidal Behaviors
""In reviewing suicide statistics it's been found that women are roughly three times more likely to attempt suicide, though men are around three times more likely to die from suicide.""

When white working class voted Democratic they were the "little guy." Now they are the uneducated. I don't agree with most of their political views, but I do understand why they have turned against those who call them redneck, hicks, ignorant...........
