In the United States, generations of young Black males, ages 15 to 24 years, are prematurely dying from homicide and suicide. Between 1950 and 2010, the average death rate for young Black males due to homicide was 81.7 per 100,000 and suicide was 11.8 per 100,000. Ages 15 to 24 years are the intersecting developmental stages of adolescence and young adulthood when premature death should not be expected. The trauma and ceased procreation prospects stemming from Black males’ premature deaths represent a public health crisis in America. Heightened public health approaches are needed to bring attention to a young racial-gender group that is dying five to six decades prior to their life expectancy. The mass suicide-homicide killings, premature deaths, and death disparities among young Black males, ages 15 to 24, in the United States is not a paranoid propaganda. It is undeniably a disturbing public health crisis that requires an urgent national response to reverse and ultimately eradicate the premature death of young Black males.

在美国，年轻的黑人男性过早死亡

在美国，成年的15至24岁的年轻黑人男性因谋杀和自杀而过早死亡。在1950年至2010年之间，年轻黑人男子因凶杀案的平均死亡率为每十万分之81.7，自杀为每十万分之11.8。15至24岁是青春期和年轻成年期的交叉发展阶段，因此不应预期过早死亡。黑人男性过早死亡造成的创伤和生育前景停止代表了美国的公共卫生危机。需要加强公共卫生方法，以引起对一个预期寿命要死五到六十年的年轻种族的关注。15至24岁的年轻黑人男性中的大规模自杀-杀人杀害，过早死亡和死亡差异，在美国并不是一个偏执的宣传。不可否认，这是一场令人不安的公共卫生危机，需要采取紧急的国家对策，以扭转并最终根除黑人青年的过早死亡。
