One theory tossed out was that if you are white and are failing you have no one to blame but yourself. However, if you are black and failing society leads you to believe someone else is to blame for your failure.

Well that doesn't sound like a good theory.

For one I know plenty of whites who blame others for their failures (government, immigrants, minorities getting an "unfair" advantage). 

And Native Americans are a higher rate than whites.

Maybe blacks are just better at handling failure?  (Assuming failure is the reason for all/most suicides.)
