[QUOTE="iluvatar5150, post: 76104869, member: 313046"] Where on earth did you get those numbers? Added up, that would mean that there are fewer than 2 million blacks of any age in the US, but there are actually 44 million: [URL]https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/PST045219[/URL] (13.4% of 328 million) You're off by a factor of 22. I also question your description of the relative sizes of the different age cohorts (especially your claim that there are twice as many Gen X'ers as Boomers): [URL='https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2021/03/25/the-growing-diversity-of-black-america/']The Growing Diversity of Black America[/URL] Jim Crow policies weren't exclusive to the South. No, it wasn't. Striking down of Jim Crow policies was a process that took a couple decades. Enforcing the rules and rooting out the racist behavior took even longer. If we choose 1965 as our baseline and use those Pew and census numbers, then 23% of African Americans alive today, or about 10.1 million people were alive when Jim Crow was legal. Is your whole position on this really based on some bogus numbers? [/QUOTE]
