- renewiltord 6y agoThat Wikipedia article has a measure for every 10 years from the Census starting with 1990: 1900 0.70% 1910 0.90% 1920 1.10% 1930 1.40% 1940 1.80% 1950 4.40% 1960 5.60% 1970 7.00% 1980 7.70% and then you can fill in the rest with Census / ACS data 1990 7.40% 2000 6.40% 2010 6.20% So, overall, it looks like it's about right. Black people were mostly in America through the slave trade and spread to areas adjacent to the South. The West saw very little increase. Anyway, thank you for sharing that. It was enlightening. I do have to leave this discussion, though. I promised not to participate in non-tech here.
