What is the update on the population of african americans?

Horse Asked by prettysoutherngal about 1 year ago, 3 answers.

Are african americans still considered monorites?
I, for one, believe that this is a complete lie.
The average black family is known to have three or more immediate family members. The average caucasion family has three or less immediate family...

members. Over the years, have african americans populated to a majority?

...you do know about the census the US government does every ten years, right?

...and, you should know that majority means, more than half...therefore, the only majority in the US is still white people, as inaccurate biased as that term is, especially given the history of the Irish in the US (who were treated much the same as African Americans when they arrived...).

However, from your question, it both seems like you lack a basic understanding of US history English vocabulary...?

d. uhm he was right? it's not his fault you look foolish because you dont actually know what you're talking about...
No they are not a majority in numbers (and they wont be any time soon)
And a minority group is not defined by numbers anyways... get an education...

As of July 1, 2006, the estimated population of black residents in the United States, including those of more than one race. They made up 13.4% of the total U.S. population. This figure represents an increase of half a million residents from one year earlier.
The projected single-race black population of the United States for July 1, 2050. On that date, according to the projection, blacks would constitute 14.6% of the nation’s total population.

What is a minority group?
A subordinate group whose members have significantly less control or power over their lives than members of a dominant or majority group

Not limited to mathematical minority: example women, Blacks in South Africa, Blacks in Mississippi and South Carolina in the 1920's

Interchangeable with subordinate group

A group that experiences a narrowing of opportunities (success, education, wealth, etc) that is disproportionately low compared to their numbers in the society

Characteristics of a Minority Group
Distinguishing physical or cultural traits, e.g. skin color or language

Unequal Treatment and Less Power over their lives

Involuntary membership in the group (no personal choice)

Awareness of subordination and strong sense of group solidarity

High In-group Marriage

Types of Minority Groups
Racial Groups who are classified according to obvious physical characteristics, e.g. skin color
US Racial Minority Groups: Blacks, American Indian, Asian Americans, Hawaiians

Ethnic Groups who are differentiated on the basis of culture such as language, food
US Ethnic Minority Groups: Hispanics or Latinos such as Chicanos, Puerto Ricans, Cuban; Jews are also consider cultural minorities instead of religious minorities.
Racial groups can also so have distinctive cultural traditions
Note: Ethnic minority can be either black or white or Asian American or Native American. So that a person can be both Black and Hispanic
