The message is: Learning...

learn from the history of black people. Who were "bullied for 100's of years" and that "bullying was followed by white violence upon and against black people, covering anything up to and including murder, and then humiliating the body after they'd killed a black person...
But ... still black people, not black kids nor black adults resorted to killing themselves. (there's much to be learned within that truth)

Why? because Today, there is not enough "teaching of self value" as a person based on whats inside the heart and mind and soul.... (black people had a history of teaching the kids to value themselves as a person regardless of the bullying, harassment, and even the threat and attacks of violence, and the many incessant acts of discrimination upon and against them.)

If white people think black people can learn things from them, Maybe its time white people realize, they can learn things from black people.... "That's the Message".

It does not change bullying from being bullying, the point is... developing coping strategy and methods.

Its a good thing to not let the word "race" when seen in subject content, blind the mind from the context and perspectives of what is being said.
