Those statistics are wrong, or at least massively out of date. There's no way 75% of America is white anymore. If we were they wouldn't be talking about Latinos being the majority American race before 2015. The last statistic I saw estimated 55% at most, which makes me question the validity of the 13.5% black figure.

Blacks make up 13.5% in 2008 of America according the first website I looked at. Again, according the the first website Iooked at, ~75% of Americans are some form of Caucasian. So some basic math says that there are 5 1/2 Caucasian Americans to every African American. And according to you there are 2 white American below the poverty level to every black. And you don't see a difference between this minority only making up 1/7 of the general population, but 1/3 of the poor population? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:323258 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
