Why more blacks turn to suicide

In the past few years (especi ally since the Jonestown mass acre) the increasing black suicide rate has caused consider able concern. “The inability of blacks to cope with a rapidly changing world has created a new' problem. Blacks are killing themselves faster than ever before,” claims Allen Brown, a sociology major at Shaw College in Detroit. Suicide, for the most part, was a white practice in the past. At one point the national black suicide rate was less than half that of whites (4.6 com pared to 11.0 per 100,000 population per year). The question that' has and must be raised is: What has caused blacks to slip into this self destruction syndrome?' Brown says: “When the hideous walls of segregation and discrimination loomed so unassailably tall, blacks were able to identify with a variety of civil rights groups such as NAACP. Urban League. SC LC, CORE, SNCC ” He also cited the black church for providing “an outlet for the terrible frustrations from the systesm. The demand for black cohesivness in the family and the community was tremendously greater. Black suicide was a rarity.” One study reaveled that whites males over the age of 60 are more apt to commit suicide because they have more to lose than blacks. Inversely, blacks tend to reach their suicidal peak in the early years, accord ing to Brown’s study. The suicide rate for black males, aged 25-29, is greater than that of their white count erparts. Death rates since 1960 reveal that blacks aged 15 20 commit sucide at a rate higher than that of the total population of all ages. However, behavior scientists believe these records are inaccurate. Many black deaths among the young which are attributed to homicide, traffic accidents and drug overdose could possibly be suicides, insomuch as the victim asked to be killed by arranging a shootout with police using a half loaded, partially defective weapon. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among black males in the age range of 15 24 and ranks fifth among black females in the same age range. Two major areas stand prominently for examination when considering causes of black youth suicide -sex and education. Reports show the typical black youth suicide would be male and a high school dropout. Brow-n says, “blacks kill themselves very early because they see no reason to perpetu ate the struggle in a racist world...and, of course, with an unemployment rate of 67 per cent among black youths, their QUINCY INSURANCE AGENLi AUTO * FIRE * LIFE ACCIDENT A HEALTH 5026 CENTRAL AYE. 923 9237 Indianapolis recorder [USPS 262-660] MARCUS C.

self-esteem and expectation naturally would be low.” Emile Durkheim, noted social scientist, stated that deviant behavior (suicide) is caused by the loss of confidence in social norms. This is the disruption of the balance between desire and fulfillment. Between aspiration and a

chievement. Between goals and unevenly distributed opportu nities to obtain them. Other reasons have been cited for black youth suicide, namely: 1. Stress and tension of ghetto living. 2. Economic and cultural hunger. 3. Lack of religious discipline. 4. Alie nation and maternal rejection.

Young man! use your VA benefits

Special Veterans Administration efforts to alert Vietnam era veterans to unused GI Bill education benefits, begun last year, are being expanded to a nationwide campaign during 1979, William H. Brewsters, director of the VA region al office in Indianapolis, said. The VA director said the agency will extend to all 50 states an awareness program, Operation Boost, which in 1978 focused on 13 states where the GI bill participation rate was low. President Carter, in a mess age on Vietnam era veterans to Congress last fall, referred to the comparative success of the GI Bill and called on VA “to seek out veterans who are unaware of the time limit that is fast approaching for many of them." Free, individualized counsel ing services will be emphasized in the initial effort, Brewster said. In a direct mail campaign, more than one million eligible Vietnam era veterans will receive a new brochure and application inviting them to use vocational and educational counseling services. The first 200,000 of the brochures will be maild this month. The current GI Bill partici pating rate of some 65 percent is well above the levels

achieved by veterans of World War II and the Korean Conflict. “While the program expires by law at the end of 1989,” Brewster said, “I think we can raise that rate even higher with this kind of special emphasis." Vital to veterans who have been out of the serivee for a few years is the 10 year time limit on eligibility. This means, Brewster said, "a veteran who wants to take full advantage of those valuable GI Bill rights must get started well before the ten years from date of discharge pass.” Current legislation provides for monthly payments of $311 to single veterans attending school full-time. Rates for perttime attendance are proper tioned and additional allowan ces are provided for dependents. "There’s no other program like it," Brewster said. “And, it’s too valuable to waste. That’s why we want to reach those persons who still have time left and make sure they’re aware of how the GI Bill can fit their needs."

Black, white Catholics at odds over Chisholm

WASHINGTONShirley Chisholm, the diminutive but outspoken lady from New York who first took seat in congress in 1969, has become the contention point for a brewing conflict among black and white Catholics. The National Office for Black Catholics has taken issue with a Pittsburgh Catholic paper’s "slandered” unsigned editorial labeling Ms. Chisholm, Democrat, “A poor choice for the recipient of an award by a Pittsburgh black Catholic group. The Pittsburgh Catholic in its January 19 edition had c’iti cized the decision of the Black Catholic Ministries and Laymen’s Council to honor Ms. Chisholm with its annual Gold Medallion award February because of her voting record on abortion and non-public aid. It’s chief beef with he? seems to be that she has "voted the pro-abortion viewpoint in seven abortion-related votes during 1978 and has publicly ridiculed efforts to obtain tuition tax credit aid for parents of children attending primary and secondary schools.” In a statement titled, “Life Already Here,” Marist Brother Cyprian Lamar Rowe, PhD. NOBC’s executive director, took exception to the editorial on several counts. He first pointed out that “Mrs. Chisholm is hardly being given the award on this issue." Aware of the single-issue orientation of many “right to life” proponents, the statement, questioned: "Is this the only issue she had dealt with in the years of her public life?” Brother Rowe also decried the anonymous editorialist’s attempts to have "everyone

SHIRLEY CHISHOLM share his moral world view” and pointed out that "pluralism demands that we, at least, see other positions as being real--even if unacceptable." Obviously referring to an editorial in NOBC’s national newspaper. Impact (it had revealed that there is a total of just two black employees working on the 470 Catholic papers in the USA), Rowe asked: “I would be very interested, too, in knowing how many blacks, Hispanics, native Americans and Orientals work on The Pittsburgh Catholic or any other diocesan paper.” It claims there are none on The Pittsburgh Catholic. Rowe contends that the crucial issue “is not the issue of abortion, but what is indeed the real feeling of some anti-abor tion advocates toward all of life. The real showdown comes February 24, date of the dinner, when Ms. Chisholm is to receive the award as well as be featured speaker.
