“Blacks should be becoming an irrelevant minority in this country. Many more Hispanics, many more Asians, etc. All with far less bitching and moaning. Their time has come and gone. Billions in handouts and so little to show for it. Move on.”

Agreed.
But let’s go with trillions. and need it be said, largely stolen from productive whites.
That surprises me. I guess many of the faces I remember are sports reporters.
Here in Baltimore-Washington there are at least 33% newscasters or more -- same is true with most major Southeastern cities -- but perhaps the survey is making a distinction between talking heads and investigative reporters.
Definition here:
Speaking of Asian minorities, why have they as a group been so successful in America?
For example, hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese boat people have come to this country. They literally were running for their lives after the fall of South Vietnam to communism. They escaped with only the clothes on their backs, and came to America and prospered. Anecdotal evidence is that many of their children have become college graduates, and built businesses, and prospered here in America.
I guess I always wonder how groups such as Vietnamese have survived and prospered, when they overcame great hardship to get here and survive. And they have done so well compared to groups such as African-Americans, who today are still as a group among the lower rungs of society.
While we can debate the legacy of slavery and all of those related issues, today’s African-Americans did not experience some of the handicaps which affected recent Asian immigrants. Yet these Asian immigrants have not been held back from advancing in our society.
Community Organizer did not make the list?

Geez, with professional athletics, have you seen an NBA game in recent years? It’s not unusual for all ten players on the court at any given time to be black.
Answer: The Bell Curve
I taught graphic arts in a northeastern college in the 80s. I had about 3 black students out of 30. I advised one of them to head for DC after graduation. She would be in mid-career now if she stuck with it.
Note that in the lawsuit, one needed only possibly farmed, not actually farmed.

What, “Gangbanger” is not an occupation?
barber- 35%?
Most of the old school barbers were from the Abruzzi, I guess many of them must have passed on.
