My understanding was that blacks were slightly over-represented in the Army during Vietnam era, but slightly under-represented in the combat arms.
In my experience in the 1990's as a grunt, this was definitely true, by a wide margin. And it is a well-known fact that Special Forces have few black men.

When I was at Benning in the 80s, blacks were definitely highly represented in the drill cadre, but that wasn’t the case once I got out of basic and AIT.

Special Forces have few black men. I understand that Special Forces is predominately manned by Hispanics and southern whites.
