Where does this fact come from? "Blacks make up 12 percent of the U.S. population.

I have been hearing this same percentage quoted since the 1970's. How can this be, considering the birth rates?

Everything is nothing but lies. . . .

Can anyone illuminate things for me?

The abortion numbers in the US are top heavy with black Americans. I read not too long ago that the percentage of blacks in the US will not increase greatly in the next census due to this fact.

They were about 14% in the 70s. But two main things have occurred. First, half of all black children conceived are killed by abortion. (See Black Genocide.org) Second, the Hispanic population has a higher live birth rate than the black population. The 14% figure has slowly edged towards 12% in the last 30 years.

Besides abortion, immigration also impacts the overall population. Since Asians and Latin Americans are much bigger groups of immigrants compared to sub-Saharan Africans, the black percentage of the US population hasn’t really changed much over the past few decades.

Plus, the shamefully high black on black murder rate in many of our cities for young black men also has an impact.
