you do have a point. if that wasn't true, you wouldn't be here right now.
Black folks, y'all do realize that we only comprise 13% of the US population...right?

Most places I go have very few blacks. It's funny how black people think America is 50% White and 50% Black.

Lmao white people aint gonna let that happen.They'll implement immediate laws to 86 that shyt
But america in 25-30 years is gonna be like 40-45% hispanic.These mutha fukkas gonna be deep in congress & the senate and runnin for president and creating laws to allow more illegal aliaens to set up shop
Its gonna be juan diego marcon sanchez ortiz as president in 2046.
That was the number back in the 80s when I was in elementary school. I've learned not to believe it taking the statistics courses I've had to take to get my Ugrad degree. You can manipulate the variables to come up with whatever number you want and at best, and at your most honest, it's only still a guesstimate. Even census-taking is flawed. If you're into genealogy, you see how when there was a fraction of the population the country has now, how huge things like family relation, age and race can change from census to census. I believe the number is higher than that. Same for the number of gay people, 2%? 
I find it hard to believe that number only changed 1% point in 3 decades (I've heard 14% as of 2011).

I don't see too many black people.
Most of America is de facto white so I don't get how that's such a surprise to you. Unless you that reaction was because you actually believe America is 50% black...

they lowkey dissing you
The U.S. Black population is 43 million strong. Larger than 163 of the 195 countries in the world including Argentina, Poland, Canada and Australia.*Taiwan is not considered a country.
Actually the entire "white" population in the world is approx 7% - since sociology and all its observations of unfairness, how about things get fair, a movie, and its only 7% white.
Also, the global black population is over 1 billion...
Lets get worldly accurate, the movie would be most asian.
But really how can you let cac marginalize folk or attempt to?
also, why dont the cac class, ask why has the black population in america been around 13% for 100 years?
I personally think the number is closer to 15% there is still a large number of people of all races who don't fill out or care about the census.
Thing is its not about representation its about ACCURATE representation....in that film how many of the 13-15 black people are in the ghettos, how many are in prison, how many are in day jobs or in school?
I never had an issue with people thinking there's more black folks that what there are. We are the #1 generators of art and culture in America. In fact, most of the culture absorbed abroad FROM america has stemmed from black culture in some way.
My issue is that there's no accurate representation in multiple media. Its either nikkas in the hood or white bread nikkas with no souls.
When majority of black people are just regular old go to work every day, try to stay out of jail and the streets type people same as everyone else.

Power is in my hair nikka
you're adding parameters to something not pertinent to my question....It's about America,and America alone.
It was my project... I came up with the question and idea.

It's not about what they're doing in the movie... the question is it an accurate representation of your race in terms of population in this country.

And 13% is generous.

There's alot of Mulattos, Quadroons, Octroons and so on prepetratin.

I am not pigeonhold to the local, always global, kinfolk should be global, because if you stick to national/local rules/America...it stops at "slavery" and "slave" history...no, really where did yall come from?
its still c00nish - because unless its a diverse course, you marginalize yourself and your opinion and your success -, as for what is a good % of race in the workforce, its is an interesting segue and question that corporations actually deal with.
Movies is arbitration, because they selectively cast movies without certain races by choice. Lets move it a step further to underrepresented group on TV, where are they, the non-white on TV, where are they. America is culturally diverse, right?
As for corporations its different, corporations/businesses want diversity. They do, however, want to hire everyone (So they say) however education/experience/etc becomes a factor.
True story, a corporation which was white, went to go for bid (find new clients) the potential client, said he was tired of white guys showing up at the meetings and where is the diversity? The corporation did some research, how diverse is the city of corp HQ? 20%. What is the diversity of the corporation? 10%. So the company went out to increase qualified applicants and career/job offers. The corporation even went towards the high school level to recruit, and come to find out, folk gotta get their grades up.
Thats why the competition is not with cac, but yourself and similar groups, and a higher standard of ideal. Cacs might be a referendum but its not where the bucks start/stop.
