Was watching the new Lord of the Rings on Amazon and noticed there are multiple black characters in it. Watching every Country music video, there's always a Black person in them.

If black ppl were really only 10-12% of the population, there's really no reason to represent us in everything, especially when there are more say Hispanics in America than us.

There's definitely more of us than we've been told. And why wouldn't there be, not like we've not been lied to about our position

2020 census says that 14.2% of the US population claims full or part Black. (12.4% marked only Black and 1.8% marked Black and another race too.) So I don't know where OP is getting "10-12%" from. It's never been 10%.

me or no body in my family filled out a census in 2020 so I will now hear out niqqas who say we are more than 12 percent of the us population:hubie:


Are you aware that how much political representation you get and how much government funds are directed towards your community is determined by how many people fill out census forms?


The results of the census help determine how hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding, including grants and support to states, counties and communities are spent every year for the next decade. It helps communities get its fair share for schools, hospitals, roads, and public works. That funding shapes many different aspects of every community, no matter the size, no matter the location. These funds are based on population totals and breakdowns by sex, age, race and other factors. Your community benefits the most when the census counts everyone.

The results also inform how federal funding is allocated to more than 100 programs, including Medicaid, Head Start, block grant programs for community mental health services, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as SNAP.
