Is there a place in the American heart for the white male?

Article here. Excerpt:

'Identity politics plays a critical role in the way the left and the right address social issues, and it has seemed more amplified than usual, even as data is telling us to slow down and take a more in depth look.

Mentioning the challenges of white males in America must make some people cringe until you learn over 305,000 white males committed suicide from 2010 to 2020, more than 190,000 have died from alcohol induced causes unrelated to suicide, another 264,000 have died from accidental poisoning and exposure to noxious substances, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control’s Wonder Database. And the list goes on.

Although some legislators are sympathetic, most know a narrative that addresses white males as part of a larger discussion on boys and men is unpopular and unlikely to gain traction in the mainstream media, educational institutions, and with policymakers.

White males are only second to Native American/Alaska Native males when it comes to suicide deaths per 100,000. White males and Native American/Alaska Natives are 2.7 to 2.9 times as likely as black males and Hispanic males to commit suicide and nearly 12x to 13x as likely as black females.'
