You get an A for racism. Your momma should be proud.

By the way “Duke level” Black men is a few hundred per year.

A person good enough to be a seal is not in prison. They are winners. And - they might just be winning - someplace else. Was the point.

If the usual demographic/intelligence data holds - there should be approx half as many Black seals as in regular population. So - if population = 13% - I would expect 5-6%. But - at that point - every head starts to count.

If swimming filters out a few more, and other opportunities filter out some more - start to get some really low numbers for easily explained reasons.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you review my post, I am actually agreeing with you.

There is a lot of competition from many non-military sources for those non-military black men who would qualify for the SEALS. Then add to the problem the social choices ( cultural ), such as poor academy achievement and crime, and the pool of applicants available withiin the non-military black population who could even begin to qualify for the SEALS is small.

It is definitely down to “head counting”.
