Roughly 1 in 5 Black children in the US under 5 are mixed per CDC data; varies regionally

Why is this interesting? This will be the Black Americans (if they choose to affiliate with us and call themselves that) in their 20s in the late 2030s and 2040s. So basically rather than a national Brazil we will have places, like the South, Maryland, and parts of the northeast, which seem like they will maintain a relatively historically traditional Black community, though with a higher mixed representation, and where marriage/coupling patterns of mixed people indicate that they largely identify with the Black community in these areas.

On the flip side, outside of heavy Black areas out west like LA County, Alameda County & Contra Costa County in the Bay, North Las Vegas, and parts of Denver and Phoenix, the Black populations there are close to integrating. You will still have Black people all over the West but I am not sure that population will automatically be a "community" like it was in the past. Communities out there will be a small and intentional minded groups of local Black folks which may be a better or worse situation depending on your perspective.

Old school segregated communities in certain states with very low Black populations probably won't survive as we know them by next generation, especially since these states also tend to have a net out-migration of young Blacks.

Midwest is a toss up. I would guess people near major centers like Chicago or Detroit will tilt heavily Black for the foreseeable future, the suburbs will have a Black community with a lot of mixed people that may or may not identify with the Black community, and the rural areas may still be segregated but with a large mixed population.

Great post.

One thing to keep in mind is that these stats only provide a snapshot of current admixture patterns. The admixture in Brazil (or wherever) didn't happen overnight. If these current patterns remain over 2+ generations, we will see a pretty big change in the "black" population of the US.

Another thing to keep in mind from a group cohesion standpoint is that the black population is quickly becoming ethnically heterogenous. I bet you have looked at the percentage of foreign born among black mothers in the CDC data. It varies quite a bit throughout the country. In the future, not only will the "black" population be increasingly mixed in many places, but also descended from non-ADOS on the black side.

Below is ranking of states by percentage of births to US born mothers among black mothers (in 2022). I derived the percentages by dividing US born by the total but didn't filter out "unknown", which isnt a big deal since "unknown" was pretty small almost everywhere.

You should've presented false data and made it out to be BW with the larger share of interracial relationships/children. Just to see how differently these coli posters would've reacted

:mjlol:

Would've been a platt thread


I was gonna say the same thing. Just switch the male/female numbers, and posted that. Waited 9-10 pages before exposing it (would have only taken about 45 minutes to get up to there). Reactions would have been amazing.

Instead, thread is dead as fukk. I wonder why?

wonder how this ties into the 1 million more children bw have than bm....:jbhmm:


Man, you were trying hard, but that was a swing and a miss.

"19% of births (15% of births from Black men fathers and 9% of births from Black women mothers) were with a non-Black partner."

I have no idea what you're talking about. It could be something you made up, but it definitely appears completely irrelevant to the thread and an attempt to deflect.

If you have a point to make, then you show the data you're talking about and explain your point. So far it looks like you don't want to deal with the data in the OP because it doesn't fit your agenda.
