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

So you muthafxckers been lying on us in the DMV, talkin bout we Pawging and swirling

 

[get these nets]

A bit surprising, to be honest. 1 out of 5, wow!

 

[JNew]

meaningless. Doesn’t even say what they mixed with.

Also what about other races. I see lots of Indian men with white women.

It also debunks the myth that the south is the most loyal to black. I always knew that was a myth cause I always see black dudes dating out in large numbers in The Carolinas, Virginia and Texas.

What i have seen is brothers from up north that date white tend to be whitewashed.
while down south the white person tends to be into black culture.

Now before you yell "Brazil here we come" there are aspects to account for since it varies a lot by region and the percent of kids born is not the same as the percent of Black men or women in IR couples with children for statistical reasons including fertility etc.

In summary per birth certificate data from CDC where the race of the mother and father are both listed, 19% of births (15% of births from Black men fathers and 9% of births from Black women mothers) were with a non-Black partner. Non-Black here means no Black ancestry, I include Black/mixed Black relationships in the numbers above.

This varies from a low of 15% of births in the South + Maryland (12% rate Black men, 9% rate Black women) to 27% of births west of the Mississippi excluding Texas & Louisiana which are considered the South (20% Black men rate and 8% Black woman rate). Midwest is at the average with 22% of births (18% for Black men and 6% for Black women). Northeast is between the South and Midwest at 18% of kids (14% for Black men, 6% for Black women). Again the rates for the parents and children do not match because of statistics reasons I won't dwell on here unless people want the details in another post.

Highest states include Oregon and Washington at around 45% of kids and states where there are basically no Black people (think Wyoming and Idaho) where the rate exceeds 50-60%.

Lowest states include DC (8%), Mississippi (9%), Georgia (11%), Louisiana and Maryland (12%) and New Jersey (16%).

Lowest states west of the Mississippi are California (which may surprise some people; same numbers as Ohio, lower than Kentucky) at roughly 1 in 4 (24%) and Nevada at roughly 1 in 5 (21%). Most the rest west of the Mississippi (excluding Texas and Louisiana) tend to hover around 1 in 3.

Mixed Black people have an even larger regional swing with who they get with. Nationally, mixed women have kids with Black men at a 50% rate, mixed men with Black women at a 21% rate. This ranges from Georgia where 70% of mixed women and 40% of mixed men have kids with Black people to Washington and Oregon where 28% of mixed women and 9% of mixed men have kids with Black folks. DC is the only place where mixed men get with Black women the majority of the time (52%). Mixed people get with each other at a 10% rate nationally.

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.

Interesting numbers.

Why do us Black Americans act like we don’t come from generations of mixed people? Mixed People make up a Big percentage in Black American DNA they’ve always been around.

I don’t understand this Fear Mongering about mixed people.

ADOS have been "assimilating" mixed off spring since bondage. And the ones who don't, they assimilate into Whiteness. There will be no huge mixed class that identifies unto itself.

Vast majority of Black mixing is with Whites. Non-Black Hispanics are a distant second and Asians are really small numbers.

People can't even define Black because they don't understand what Black means.
Black has always meant American Black which =/= African.

I just hope that my discernibly mixed-race brethren can eventually come together and forge our own path, identity, and culture…

At some point in our lives, we really need to move away from and leave Black-presenting and White-presenting peoples alone…

ask the Brazilians and Colombians how thats going

I have to say that the demography and genetics of the Afram/ADOS community are going to become a lot more interesting in the future,

I made a post predicting what might happen to the Afram/ADOS community. TL;DR version. Genetically, Afram/ADOS community will get more SSA Y-DNA and more Non SSA Mt-DNA.

 

[Afro]

the majority of african americans who descended from slaves are mixed with 18-20% white blood.

I'm an outlier
Probably not having kids though, sorry brehs

Be ok w/ CACmixture, brehs…Think that absorbing Whiteness is the wave, brehs…Have pride in being intertwined w/ Europeans, AframBrehs…Be insensitive to the degradation of the West-African phenotype, brehs…

ADOS have been "assimilating" mixed off spring since bondage. And the ones who don't, they assimilate into Whiteness. There will be no huge mixed class that identifies unto itself.

You will not be assimilating us anymore as time goes on…There has been an awakening amongst mixed-race folk and the revolution may very well be televised…There will arise a mixed class that will go its own way and somehow still prosper in its tragic existence…

And those unmixed Negroid and Europid populations will look at all of us like…
