Are blacks REALLY only 12% of the population or is it propaganda?

[Poitier]

I wanna see actual proof on that. I've heard between 40-50% and no higher.

You gotta remember...there were A LOT of poor whites and uncounted indians etc.

Never mind. Apparently, those percentages were for the colonies that had slaves.

global is a bullshyt stat I wouldn't even trust.

"american black' doesn't mean anything applied on a global level cause then you're just measuring melanin between people who are NOTHING alike.

"Sub-Saharan descent"

 

[Chris.B]

doubt it.

you'd just have more poor people having kids.

but we still have more power because of politicians would be forced to cater to us

"Sub-Saharan descent"

still too vague.

Statistically if we're talking genetically, two people from a modern african country have LESS in common than two random black people in the USA.

Whatever it is, its not enough...lol

white 79.96%, black 12.85%, Asian 4.43%, Amerindian and Alaska native 0.97%, native Hawaiian and other Pacific islander 0.18%, two or more races 1.61% (July 2007 estimate)
note: a separate listing for Hispanic is not included because the US Census Bureau considers Hispanic to mean persons of Spanish/Hispanic/Latino origin including those of Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican Republic, Spanish, and Central or South American origin living in the US who may be of any race or ethnic group (white, black, Asian, etc.); about 15.1% of the total US population is Hispanic

ehhhhhh.

power is derived mostly from money and influence.

theres a lot of poor whites out here too. There aren't that many whites who are just "doing it" like that. You just have more examples of white success so you equate that with white's leading industries.

I'm just not willing to derail this convo with talk about 'abortion" as if the only way to save communities is to allow unfit mothers to support kids they can't even take care of....and i'm not even going to touch on the race disparity there.

I think you mean two Black from different diasporas have more in common genetically than two randoms from the same population

If we're only 12% HOW THE HELL did Obama win election?

Obama got a lot of support from many other non-black groups (Asians, Jews, women, Latinos, gay people, etc.). Even though the white male vote wasn't with him, he got everyone else.

no.

I meant what I said.

Africa is THAT genetically diverse.

Two people from any modern african country statistically will have LESS in common than two random black people in the US.

 

[Poitier]

no.

I meant what I said.

Africa is THAT genetically diverse.

Two people from any modern african country statistically will have LESS in common than two random black people in the US.

That's not saying much because of what I just said, though. Two people from the same in-group are going to have less in common by default by a significant magnitude, who cares past reaching significance?

 

[mrken12]

the way we killing ourselves daily i'm surprised we still over 10%

The black murder rates have actually been on a declining trend. And people die violently everyday regardless of race.

 

[Dzali OG]

are you really this stupid?

whites have always carried elections

White people ain't gonna rock stickers, but they'll vote democrate.

hell, do you really even understand demographic politics like that?

Or so we've been told...

 

[Dzali OG]

I'm feverishly doing research and I can feel it in my bones that I'm on to something. We've been lied to a whole lot in this country. There's levels to this shyt my nikkas and niggettes!

 

[MikeBrownsJob]

If we're only 12% HOW THE HELL did Obama win election? I know plenty of white people voted for Obama, and we can't forget about other races but....Not trying to do the math....I know from looking at bumper stickers not that many white people voted for Obama.

I think I may have found a conspiracy right in our face brehs....

It's in the best interests to have black people believing they are outnumbered 10 to 1.

Naw your opinion is just as stupid as your nostrils are wide and your face is ugly.

Or so we've been told...

I understand your desire to "get them at their game..."

but its not gonna happen.

If you ever really doubt that you're 12% i suggest you travel across the country.

hell, ask black people in corporate america or higher education.

there are NOT that many of us.

Black people are literally a minority out here.
