Something startling is happening to middle-aged white Americans. Unlike every other age group, unlike every other racial and ethnic group, unlike their counterparts in other rich countries, death rates in this group have been rising, not falling.
That finding was reported Monday by two Princeton economists, Angus Deaton, who last month won the 2015 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science, and Anne Case. Analyzing health and mortality data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and from other sources, they concluded that rising annual death rates among this group are being driven not by the big killers like heart disease and diabetes but by an epidemic of suicides and afflictions stemming from substance abuse: alcoholic liver disease and overdoses of heroin and prescription opioids.

“Decades of mass immigration, constant attacks on whites by the media and government, outsourcing of jobs, feminism, and idiotic wars for other people haven’t paid off well for the people who built this country. Those who are giving up and killing themselves at these huge rates were born just when all this started.”
I don’t think middle age white people kill themselves over media attacks on middle age white people, nor do they commit suicide over immigration or because they believe they built the country.
The Baby boom generation.
Side benefit of the Regime’s policies
White Americans test scores are dropping too.
