Can someone explain population growth to me? How did Black Americans grow from 700k in 1790 to 48 million in 2024?

-Non black people still participating in the slave trade even when made illegal (actually slavery was abolished decades later)
-Immigration of other black people
-Biracial black people being considered "regular" black

It’s partially attributable to the rampant sexual assault that white men committed against black women during slavery and up until the 1960s.

:unimpressed:
I'm sure there was sexual assault against men as well.

A lot of correct answers given and this as well, it was much worse than what is taught.
Much, much worse than we will ever truly know.

I actually forgot about that factor. True
How could you?

They never counted black people correctly.
Colored, mulatto, indian, negro, people of color, etc.

700,000 (1.6) ^ 9 = 48 million :yeshrug:

2024 - 1790 = 234 years / 25 years per generation = 9.36 generations (let's say 9)

Black women have a fertility rate of around 1.6

There you go breh :yeshrug:
You beat me to it just that 1.6 fertility for Black women is super recent. They were at around 2 until the 2008 crisis and above 3 until around WWII. Good job though.

There was a lot of incest. Actually.
Lots of cousin relationships.
Still is in the rural south.
Especially if your family been in the same place for generations.

My pops people were from Lower Sip/Northern LA, and they have a thing to not date anyone in the same county or the peripheral counties. Just to avoid an uncomfortable situation. And it still happens. By that time, it's too late, m'fers be in love and just say fukk it.
Yeah… many folks gotta be related….but if you’re like 6th cousins…it won’t really matter. Being that distant of cousins/family shouldn’t cause any deformities in kids. Or is that why some folks pawg?
