The statistics that you are using have made the fatal error of
getting the both terms, and the people, of 'African-American'
(AA) confused with that of 'Black American' (BA) -- therefore
the "statistics" that these "statistics" are not reliable for use.
Our society really needs to try to begin to understand that
the 'African-American' (AA) 'Ethnic' group is *not* the
same group as the Black American' (BA) 'Race' group --
that the two (2) terms are *not* synomymous and that the
two (2) terms should *not* be used inter-changeably.
We are *not* speaking of ‘semantics’ here – but rather
– the BAs & AAs are two different groups of people.
The AAs are the (largely Mixed-Race) ETHNIC group.
The BAs are the (Mono-Raced) RACE group.
Beacuse everyone seems to erroneously both mix these
two (2) groups up AND also mix these two (2) groups
together -- the "statistics" about them (ranging from
AIDs; to out of wedlock births; to prison numbers;
to graduation and drop-out rates) tend to be
severly erroneous and extremely unreliable.
As crazy as it sounds -- the U.S. government
[due to racism & wanting to stigmatize the part
of their lineage that was from Africa which,
by the way, is only one part of their lineage]
--- has labeled those people who are the
"descendents of the survivors" of the Antebellum
era American chattel-slavery system, as being AAs
(the hyphen is used in reference to acknowledging
the fact that most of them are Mixed-Race,
with African & non-African blood lines)
AND
has labeled those people who are "volitional immigrants"
who are directly from places such as the continent
of African, the West Indies, etc. -- as being BAs
(with the word 'Black' used in reference to acknowledging
the fact that they are of a Mono-racial full-Black lineage).
In addition, it should also be remembered that – although
some AAs adhere to a socio-political ‘identity’ that is often
described by the slang term of “black” -- the AAs are
actually *not* even a "Race" group at all -- but rather,
they *are* a largely Mixed-Race 'Ethnic' group
(and the socio-political ‘identity’ that a person chooses
*does not* change their racially-mixed ancestral lineage).
Most (+70%) of the people born to two (2) parents who
are of the AA ‘Ethnic’ group --- are of a Multi-Racially
‘Mixed’ (MGM) lineage – while the people to two (2)
parents who are of the BA ‘Racial’ group – on the
other hand – are of a Mono-Racially ‘Black’ lineage.
An excellent resource is the book:
"DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE: -- Fighting
Cultural Information about African-Americans"
(-- written by Newsweek and Meet the
Press correspondent, 'Ferai Chideya')

Hope that helps and that you have a great day. :D

What do you think? (race)?
You are exactly right as a black man i say lets get rid of men's this or women's that or black this white that latino asian we are all one and in 2009 with a popular biracial president we should put all of this nonsense behind us. i say lets try for one to integrate everything no special event pandering to race gender age or sexual orientation of any kind. lets all give it a try i bet well love it and learn to appreciate each other regardless of ar so called differences. we are all one we are all the same and its time we recognize that!
How do U feel about AIDS!!??
HIV/Aids is a very horrible disease . It effects everyone in one way or another . I am glad that you were smart and said that you wouldn't sleep with your boyfriend without a condom . The best way to fight HIV/aids is by people protecting themselves . You have to make sure you are safe and if someone else doesn't support that then you dont need them .
