When Hispanics are near death, they get on a giant boat and sail off like the elves in Lord of the Rings.Chart makes it look like Hispanics don't die. Nice work by them.

I mean education needs to be completely dismantled and rebuilt from the ground up. From K-12 to College. The entire curriculum needs to be revamped for the 21st century. Fuck MacBeth, kids need to know how compound interest works, etc...
Sorry but the days of going to work at the factory like dad and grandpa are done. Kids need to be educated for the jobs that exist today.
LGBT suicide too, in fact both are still higher proportional rates than certain others.
Odd how that works.
I liked Tim Wise's commentary on this.
We have seen that it is difficult to link the increasing distress in midlife to the obvious contemporaneous aggregate factors, such as income or unemployment. But some of the most convincing discussions of what has happened to working class whites emphasize a longterm process of decline, or of cumulative deprivation, rooted in the steady deterioration in job opportunities for people with low education, see in particular Cherlin (2009, 2014). This process, which began for those leaving high school and entering the labor force after the early 1970s—the peak of working class wages, and the beginning of the end of the ”blue collar aristocracy"—worsened over time, and caused, or at least was accompanied by, other changes in society that made life more difficult for less-educated people, not only in their employment opportunities, but in their marriages, and in the lives of and prospects for their children. Traditional structures of social and economic support slowly weakened; no longer was it possible for a man to follow his father and grandfather into a manufacturing job, or to join the union. Marriage was no longer the only way to form intimate partner- ships, or to rear children. People moved away from the security of legacy religions or the churches of their parents and grandparents, towards churches that emphasized seeking an identity, or replaced membership with the search for connections, Wuthnow (1990). These changes left people with less structure when they came to choose their careers, their religion, and the nature of their family lives. When such choices succeed, they are liberating; when they fail, the individual can only hold him or herself responsible. In the worst cases of failure, this is a Durkheim-like recipe for suicide.

They need jobs, not a lecture in white privilege.

That is the only thing they have to offer, no empathy that is for sure.

gutting literature and writing when our democracy is being brought to its knees by a dearth of critical thinking ability and perspective is only gonna make things worse.
more civics, economics, and modern personal finance don't mean burning art education to the ground.

This. Its rankings keep sinking further and further. For all that is said for the world class universities in the US, a lot of their staff and students have to be imported from other countries. High Schools are just not producing results that feed higher education.
Everybody needs jobs.
Who is they?
Obviously some subjects are going to remain pillars of education. Writing, Reading, Math..etc.
I don't know the exact balance of courses. My point is the discussion needs to be had and changes need to be made to education. I'm not saying "fuck art". I am saying "Maybe less European history out the ass and more tangible real life practical skills being taught"
Seriously.Let us fucking help you
I mean both can be done in my High School English class we learned Macbeth as well as how to fold clothes so what you are saying is already being done.

Teaching literature, history, and the rest of the humanities is essential to helping people better understand their lives and the context in which they are living. The humanities teach us empathy. They enrich our language. They help us understand history, politics, culture, and the other nebulous forces shaping our worlds. They help us appreciate our humanity — and others' humanity — far beyond the scope of doing work and getting paid.No, it's not. Public school is ass in a lot of areas. I'm glad your school is great and is teaching tangible real world skills and Macbeth. But I stand by my original statement. Fuck Macbeth. Real world skills. They can learn Europe on their own time.

Trump will fix it
But they keep voting republican.
Complete lack of affordable education, affordable housing and affordable healthcare
But opioids are affordable.

Why do they deserve empathy?
This is their own doing. Instead evolving they continued voting like it was the 50s. Bit them in the ass and they will continue voting like it is the 50s.
Sorry, it's hard to feel empathy for people that don't wise up.
It is like that other thread about the women whose husband is being deported who voted for trump. Shit don't matter if its fucking other minorities, lgbtq, etc, but once it bites them in the ass, they complain.
Oh the poor babies. They're​ the only ones suffering.That is the only thing they have to offer, no empathy that is for sure.

Where has anybody said or implied that? Please.Apparently they are not suffering, because of the color of their skin and it was their fault, they chose the wrong job 15, 20 or 30 years ago.
Where has anybody said or implied that? Please.
Enlighten me

Enlighten me, a poster asking you why someone hewing a situation of their own making is not the same as implying that they aren't suffering.
Ah but your patronizing attitude when discussing race in regards to systemic class based barriers isn't though.Your patronising attitude to fairly concerning evidence of people dying and suffering due to economic circumstance is striking.
It's not like people of color have stopped suffering because they vote Democrat anyways.
With regards to the atheism points being made, passage from the paper:
So while atheism doesn't seem to pose a direct correlation, it can explain this "loss of structure" that a religion such a Catholicism provides.

The white rural working man is not the only one suffering because of economic downturn and drug abuse.To address issues beyond their economic malaise is not to lack empathy for their situation.
How can anyone even take this serious? how do you take quantitative data and push this kind of agenda
