Do you really believe that Black people are only 13% of the population?

[Barnett114]

Yes I believe it.

Many immigrants and hispanics have came here. The population increases and the percentages change b/c of it, but the number of black people stays the same.

Ex. There are 25/100 blue balls in a bag. That means 25% of the balls in the bag are blue. More balls were added, none of them were blue. There are still 25 blue balls in the bag, but since more balls were added there are 25/200 blue balls in the bag. That changes the percentage of blue balls in the bag to 12.5% even though the same number of blue balls are still inside of the bag.

You get it now?

The number of blackpeople is the same, it's just that the number of other races in the U.S have increased dramatically, especially hispanic/latino.

Why are our numbers still the same? Abortions, people not wanting to have kids or start families, deaths, murders, gang violence.

I'm not sure if Africans who came from Africa (like those whose ancestors weren't US slaves, just to be clear) are included with the percentage of black people/African americans. It can be confusing, that's why some people think we should have a different name that African American.

All except Northern Africans are counted as black

Recent census got them at 5.6 Round that to 6%.

It makes no sense. Its literally no cities or suburbs that are majority asian, and its barely any where asians are even over 20% of the population.
Yet theres tons of cities where blaccs are the majority or make up a good portion of the population, but yet somehow theres only twice as many blacks as asians lol man gtfo.

twice as many is actually a lot. in actual numbers. dont just look at percent.

and their are a lot of asians concentrated in certain areas/cities. but you dont know this because you dont live there and you aint travelling to their part of own. and i'm not just talking about the spots that are "little this town or, such and such town."

asians are everywhere. they're in the south as we speak. shoot some of them own soulfood spots that yall frequent.

How can you be from long beach and say this? Like every other restaurant, store and buildinh in long beach is asian owned

Almost every suburb in the bay area has 20-40% asian population.

I think both asian and black demograph in california is not represented correct. I think California is 40-50% asian and black, 25% hispanic and 25% white. The rest of the country, i have no idea but I can attest that California census dont add up.

San Francisco #s for sure full of shyt and extreme example of how the census is not accurate. A 15 minute walk around downtown SF would let you know the census is not correct and not to be taken too serious

 

[prettiij_me]

I never believed that statistic...and to frank I don't AA will ever be portrayed accurately in this country be it the number of us living here or otherwise...it would be too much of an upset for "the man" lol

 

[Cynic]

Do you really believe in the 13% stat that's used to shut us down whenever we demand change?

I think this 13% stat is a lie. It never changes. It never seems to budge. Every census it's the same thing. Odd as hell.

It doesn't matter where I go in this country there's Black people. Even in white towns you'll see a good chunk of the women walking around with mixed babies.

I'm just wondering if anyone else is suspicious of that 13% permanent minority nonsense.

It's not... the black population is actually declining

Our birth rate ain't hitting replacement levels

 

[NatiboyB]

Nah, I started to question it when I drove to South Dakota a few years back and there were black people there.

They were there because 1.They were likely stationed there or the family members of someone stationed there when you travel consider if any military installations are around.

2.Black people are every where but in some places are in token numbers like 1 for every 500.

A lot of times people say hey I saw a bunch of Black people in North Dakota or Montana not realizing that multiple AF Bases are up there so in turn they bring their families with them but they generally are still residents of wherever they are from.

False.
Black population has steadily increased.
Hell there was a big statistical jump from 2000 to 2010.

birth rate did drop to 2.0 but its the norm within the US, all groups have declined , whites and asians have been below the replacement level threshold far longer and hispanics and blacks are now reaching that level.

 

[Fillerguy]

Its obvious you guys dont leave your neighborhood let alone your town/city. Just because There are large proportions of this country where the only Blacks people see are on reality tv or the 6pm news. Get out more. Or ya know, look at the Black percentages in each state and do the math yourself.

 

[BrothaZay]

FYI 42% of black americans live outside major metros, so kill all that "we're only in the big cities" bs

The 2008 recession is a variable you can't overlook...

It hasn't increased in the last 400 years ... pretty much remained stagnate or declined depending on where you look

Your links confirm what I said.
There is a drop in birth rate.
That said you claimed that the black population hasn't increased, and that is demonstrably false.
What is even crazier is you claiming it hasn't increased in 400 years, when it has been increasing since they recorded population.
