Grew up in a small Southern town. Great place and I have many fond memories of my childhood. But it has hit me lately that life has been very unkind to my contemporaries.
Specifically, my fellow white males have a HUGE mortality rate. In my high school class, there were roughly 50 white males. By mid 40s, about 3.5% of white males have died on average. But this group has a mortality rate approaching 20 fucking percent:
2 died of drug overdose
2 died under mysterious circumstances, presumably drug related
1 had cancer
1 supposedly died in a shootout with the police
I am guessing there are at minimum three deaths that I don't know about, especially among the prole dudes. That being said, several of these guys were from educated, professional families.
WTF is going on? These are Indian reservation-level numbers. How can one town be hit so hard?
