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

[emoney]

Do they include the prison population in that? They got half of us locked up

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

Yes. Do some traveling bruh

 

[BaldingSoHard]

Never really thought about it, and even if it's not accurate it's not like I'm going to go count myself so .

 

[KOohbt]

i dont think they count people in jail, or felons. and yeah probably bs.

Black people are concentrated around major cities and in the South East. So if you live in a major metro youll see black folks everywhere. My metro is ranked 13th for black population. I didn't know any white folks til I was like 10. I thought we were the majority of people in the country

Nothing "lame" about simply asking questions.

The moment you take everything you're told immediately as truth is the minute you become a fool.

What's the motive behind lying about the census?
What end is met by understating the black population in America?

I said there's nothing wrong with asking questions so you're entitled to ask your own as well.

I'll say this though, and don't take it as a direct response to your queries but you can control many things based on perception alone. "Minority" can be a powerful word. Just shooting ideas here...

Me and evey black person I know have never taken a census, so take that as you may.

I don't think I've ever even seen a census form

Exactly...if you're going to make up a stupid conspiracy theory at least have a motive.


If you're black then you probably live in an area where other black people tend to live and as such the percentage of black people where you're at will probably be higher. That doesn't mean there's some huge conspiracy that every census worker in the country is in on.

 

[BrothaZay]

The thing that gets me is that asians are listed as 6% and black people as 12%

If you raelly think its only twice any many blacc ppl as asians then idk what to tell you IDIOTS

Only time i seen ine was in the 90s one came to the crib and my mom thought it was junk mail and threw it away.

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.

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.
