[size=18pt]Economic status [/size]

Oprah Winfrey, the wealthiest African American of the 20th century.[85][86][87] A pair of economists estimate that Winfrey's endorsement of Barack Obama delivered one million votes for him in the close 2008 Democratic primaries.[88]Economically, African Americans have benefited from the advances made during the Civil Rights era, particularly among the educated, but not without the lingering effects of historical marginalization when considered as a whole. The racial disparity in poverty rates has narrowed. The black middle class has grown substantially. In 2000, 47% of African Americans owned their homes. The poverty rate among African Americans has decreased from 26.5% in 1998 to 24.7% in 2004.[56] African Americans are the second largest consumer group in America with a combined buying power of over $892 billion currently and likely over $1.1 trillion by 2012.[89][90] In 2002 African American owned businesses accounted for 1.2 million of the US's 23 million businesses.[91]

In 2004, African American workers had the second-highest median earnings of American minority groups after Asian Americans, and African Americans had the highest level of male-female income parity of all ethnic groups in the United States.[92] Also, among American minority groups, only Asian Americans were more likely to hold white-collar occupations (management, professional, and related fields),[93] and African Americans were no more or less likely than European Americans to work in the service industry.[94] In 2001, over half of African American households of married couples earned $50,000 or more.[94] Although in the same year African Americans were over-represented among the nation's poor, this was directly related to the disproportionate percentage of African American families headed by single women; such families are collectively poorer, regardless of ethnicity.[94]

By 2006, gender continued to be the primary factor in income level, with the median earnings of African American men more than those black and non-black American women overall and in all educational levels.[95][96][97][98][99] At the same time, among American men, income disparities were significant; the median income of African American men was approximately 76 cents for every dollar of their European American counterparts, although the gap narrowed somewhat with a rise in educational level.[95][100]

Overall, the median earnings of African American men were 72 cents for every dollar earned of their Asian American counterparts, and $1.17 for every dollar earned by Hispanic men.[95][98][101] On the other hand by 2006, among American women with post-secondary education, African American women have made significant advances; the median income of African American women was more than those of their Asian-, European- and Hispanic American counterparts with at least some college education.[96][97][102]

African Americans are still underrepresented in government and employment. In 1999, the median income of African American families was $33,255 compared to $53,356 of European Americans. In times of economic hardship for the nation, African Americans suffer disproportionately from job loss and underemployment, with the black underclass being hardest hit. The phrase "last hired and first fired" is reflected in the Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment figures. Nationwide, the October 2008 unemployment rate for African Americans was 11.1%,[103] while the nationwide rate was 6.5%.[104]

The income gap between black and white families is also significant. In 2005, employed blacks earned only 65% of the wages of whites, down from 82% in 1975.[56] The New York Times reported in 2006 that in Queens, New York, the median income among African American families exceeded that of white families, which the newspaper attributed to the growth in the number of two-parent black families. It noted that Queens was the only county with more than 65,000 residents where that was true.[31]

In 1999, the rate of births to unwed African American mothers was estimated by economist Walter E. Williams of George Mason University to be 70%.[105] The poverty rate among single-parent black families was 39.5% in 2005, according to Williams, while it was 9.9% among married-couple black families. Among white families, the comparable rates were 26.4% and 6%.[106]

According to Forbes magazine's "wealthiest American" lists, a 2000 net worth of $800 million dollars made Oprah Winfrey the richest African American of the 20th century; by contrast, the net worth of the 20th century's richest American, Bill Gates, who is of European descent, briefly hit $100 billion in 1999. In Forbes' 2007 list, Gates' net worth decreased to $59 billion while Winfrey's increased to $2.5 billion,[107] making her the world's richest black person.[86][108] Winfrey is also the first African American to make Business Week's annual list of America's 50 greatest philanthropists.[109] BET founder Bob Johnson was also listed as a billionaire prior to an expensive divorce and as of 2009, had an estimated net worth of $550 million.[110] Winfrey remains the only African American wealthy enough to rank among the country's 400 richest people.[107] Some black entrepreneurs use their wealth to create new avenues for both African Americans and new opportunities for American business in general. Examples such as Tyler Perry who created new filming studios in Atlanta, Georgia which makes it possible to film movies and television shows outside of California.[111]

Health

Ben Carson (left) being announced as a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the White House on June 19, 2008.African Americans continue to have lower life expectancies on average than whites in the United States. Even when adjusted for age, African Americans are 1.6 times more likely to die from one of the 10 leading causes of death in the United States than European Americans.[112] However, there is evidence that this may be changing: by 2003, sex had replaced race as the primary factor in life expectancy in the United States, with African American females expected to live longer than European American males born in that year.[113]

In the same year, the gap in life expectancy between American whites (78.0) and blacks (72. had decreased to 5.2 years, reflecting a long term trend of this phenomenon.[113] By 2004, "the trend toward convergence in mortality figures across the major race groups also continued", with white–black gap in life expectancy dropping to five years.[114] The current life expectancy of African Americans as a group is comparable to those of other groups who live in countries with a high Human Development Index.

What is your culture?

African Americans (also referred to as Black Americans or Afro-Americans, and formerly as American Negroes) are citizens or residents of the United States who have origins in any of the black populations of Africa.[2] In the United States, the terms are generally used for Americans with at least partial Sub-Saharan African ancestry.

Most African Americans are the direct descendants of captive Africans who survived the slavery era within the boundaries of the present United States, although some are—or are descended from—immigrants from African, Caribbean, Central American or South American nations.[3] As an adjective, the term is usually spelled African-American.[4]

African-American history starts in the 17th century with indentured servitude in the American colonies and progresses onto the election of an African American as the 44th and current President of the United States—Barack Obama. Between those landmarks there were other events and issues, both resolved and ongoing, that were faced by African Americans. Some of these were slavery, reconstruction, development of the African-American community, participation in the great military conflicts of the United States, racial segregation, and the Civil Rights Movement.

Black Americans make up the single largest racial minority in the United States and form the second largest racial group after whites in the United States.[5]

Cultural influence in the United States
Further information: African American culture

The King & Carter Jazzing Orchestra photographed in Houston, Texas, January 1921From their earliest presence in North America, African Americans have contributed literature, art, agricultural skills, foods, clothing styles, music, language, social and technological innovation to American culture. The cultivation and use of many agricultural products in the U.S., such as yams, peanuts, rice, okra, sorghum, grits, watermelon, indigo dyes, and cotton, can be traced to African and African American influences. Notable examples include George Washington Carver, who created 300 products from peanuts, 118 products from sweet potatoes, and 75 from pecans; and George Crum, who invented the potato chip in 1853.[122]

African American music is one of the most pervasive African American cultural influences in the United States today and is among the most dominant in mainstream popular music. Hip hop, R&B, funk, rock and roll, soul, blues, and other contemporary American musical forms originated in black communities and evolved from other black forms of music, including blues, doo-wop, barbershop, ragtime, bluegrass, jazz, and gospel music.

African American-derived musical forms have also influenced and been incorporated into virtually every other popular musical genre in the world, including country and techno. African American genres are the most important ethnic vernacular tradition in America, as they have developed independent of African traditions from which they arise more so than any other immigrant groups, including Europeans; make up the broadest and longest lasting range of styles in America; and have, historically, been more influential, interculturally, geographically, and economically, than other American vernacular traditions.[123]

African Americans have also had an important role in American dance. Bill T. Jones, a prominent modern choreographer and dancer, has included historical African American themes in his work, particularly in the piece "Last Supper at Uncle Tom's Cabin/The Promised Land". Likewise, Alvin Ailey's artistic work, including his "Revelations" based on his experience growing up as an African American in the South during the 1930s, has had a significant influence on modern dance. Another form of dance, Stepping, is an African American tradition whose performance and competition has been formalized through the traditionally black fraternities and sororities at universities.[citation needed]

Many African American authors have written stories, poems, and essays influenced by their experiences as African Americans. African-American literature is a major genre in American literature. Famous examples include Langston Hughes, James Baldwin, Richard Wright, Zora Neale Hurston, Ralph Ellison, Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison, and Maya Angelou.

African American inventors have created many widely used devices in the world and have contributed to international innovation. Norbert Rillieux created the technique for converting sugar cane juice into white sugar crystals. Moreover, Rillieux left Louisiana in 1854 and went to France, where he spent ten years working with the Champollions deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics from the Rosetta Stone. Most slave inventors were nameless, such as the slave owned by the Confederate President Jefferson Davis who designed the ship propeller used by the Confederate navy.


Chuck Berry in Örebro, Berry is considered a pioneer of American Rock and roll
B.B. King is a blues guitarist and songwriter acclaimed for his expressive singing and guitar playing.By 1913 over 1,000 inventions were patented by black Americans. Among the most notable inventors were Jan Matzeliger, who developed the first machine to mass-produce shoes, and Elijah McCoy, who invented automatic lubrication devices for steam engines. Granville Woods had 35 patents to improve electric railway systems, including the first system to allow moving trains to communicate. Garrett A. Morgan developed the first automatic traffic signal and gas mask.[124]

Lewis Howard Latimer invented an improvement for the incandescent light bulb.[125] More recent inventors include McKinley Jones, who invented the movable refrigeration unit for food transport in trucks and trains. Lloyd Quarterman worked with six other black scientists on the creation of the atomic bomb (code named the Manhattan Project.) Quarterman also helped develop the first nuclear reactor, which was used in the atomically powered submarine called the Nautilus.[124]

A few other notable examples include the first successful open heart surgery, performed by Dr. Daniel Hale Williams, the air conditioner, patented by Frederick McKinley Jones. Dr. Mark Dean holds three of the original nine patents on the computer on which all PCs are based. More current contributors include Otis Boykin, whose inventions included several novel methods for manufacturing electrical components that found use in applications such as guided missile systems and computers, and Colonel Frederick Gregory, who was not only the first black astronaut pilot but the person who redesigned the cockpits for the last three space shuttles. Gregory was also on the team that pioneered the microwave instrumentation landing system. In 2000, Bendix Aircraft Company began a worldwide promotion of this microwave instrumentation landing system.[124]

Political legacy

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. remains the most prominent political leader in the American civil rights movement and perhaps the most influential African American political figure in general.African Americans have fought in every war in the history of the United States.[126]

The gains made by African Americans in the Civil Rights and Black Power movements not only obtained certain rights for African Americans, but changed American society in far-reaching and fundamentally important ways. Prior to the 1950s, Black Americans in the South were subject to de jure discrimination, or Jim Crow. They would often be the victims of extreme cruelty and violence, sometimes resulting in deaths: by the post WWII era, African Americans became increasingly discontented with their long-standing inequality. In the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., African Americans and their supporters challenged the nation to "rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed that all men are created equal , "[127]

The Civil Rights Movement marked a sea-change in American social, political, economic and civic life. It brought with it boycotts, sit-ins, demonstrations, court battles, bombings and other violence; prompted worldwide media coverage and intense public debate; forged enduring civic, economic and religious alliances; and disrupted and realigned the nation's two major political parties.

Over time, it has changed in fundamental ways the manner in which blacks and whites interact with and relate to one another. The movement resulted in the removal of codified, de jure racial segregation and discrimination from American life and law, and heavily influenced other groups and movements in struggles for civil rights and social equality within American society, including the Free Speech Movement, the disabled, women, Native Americans, and migrant workers.

America is full of slaves. LOL, including sons and daughters of slaves. LOL

Any black person who sees America as home and looks down on Africa, and the African people, or the black person in diaspora, must be reminded who he or she is, a slave son or daughter, beaten and battered, seperated, hated, looked down upon and fed the white man's remnants, that person needs his head examined and his or her butt hole fried with pepper until he or she sees reality.

Any black man, outside AFRICA, REMAINS NOTHING BUT A SLAVE AND THE PRODUCT OF SLAVERY.

That's cool  

some of us DO VERY WELL.  Ask your Nigerian brotheren.  I am an American.  A Black American.  I no NOTHING about Africa.  Other than the few Africans, I encounter that want so desperately to be the white man's lap dog.  

Life is suffering, What you CHOOSE to do to alleviate your suffering is on you.

Also,

Just because we share some of the same skin shades - do not mean we are BROTHERS!!!

Your CULTURE is vastly DIFFERENT than our culture,
We do not have Juju, accuse kids of witchcraft, impoverish our people - then send the money out of our country into Swedish banks, take Trillions of dollars in International Aid for the elites, have buffoon leaders like buffoon-leaders  like Idi Amin and Mobutu Sese Seko, (add the nigerian KLEPTOCRACY HERE)

No. We are a people that CONTINUE TO FIGHT!!!!

It is a STRUGGLE BEING BLACK, YET WE IN AMERIKKA FIGHT!!!

and there is NOTHING WRONG with enjoying the GOOD LIFE.

You must be crazy if you think we are not going to MAKE MANIFEST ALL THIS GOODNESS in Amerikka.  (Even in the face of white hate)

SURE, Amerikka is racist - taking all your African resources and having them manufactured in Asia - then sending them to us at a discount price. -

You must be crazy if you think we are not going to BE ALLL WE CAN BE , while living the GOOD LIFE!!!!!!!

[size=18pt]EVERYBODY WANT TO BE US!!!![/size]

WHEREAS,

YOU WILL NEVER- BE BLACK AND BLESSED OUTSIDE OF AMERIKKA

Here you have a JADED NIGERIAN LIVING IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, HATING ON ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING BLACK IN AMERIKKA,

This FOOL IS DOING NOTHING to uplift his fellow Blacks in the United Kingdom, (besides vent his hatred toward anything BLACK in Africa and AMERIKKA)

I'd rather be a 2nd Class citizen in the United States than a 4TH class citizen in the United Kingdom and materially starved one in AFRICA.

NIGGA YOU ARE DESPAIRED!

POOR POOR CAP28

Tell me something I DO NOT ALREADY KNOW!!!!

Everything you posted is TRUE!
Now WHAT

I would have more RESPECT FOR YOU if you CONCENTRATED on YOUR BLACK STRUGGLES WITHIN THE UNITED KINGDOM!!!!!

Instead you are FOCUSED on a people across the Atlantic that are NOT connected with YOU?

Why are you so focused on African Americans

Why are you not FOCUSED ON BLACKS IN EUROPE?

Our struggles are Legion, Legendary filled with TRIUMP and sadness.  This is WELL DOCUMENTED.

Now days you can see us in THE MEDIA IN ALL AREAS OF LIFE:  ENTERTAINMENT; SEX; POLITICAL; ECONOMICAL; SPIRITUAL, ETC.
What we cannot see is YOU AND BLACK BRITIAN IN ANY AREA BUT ENTERTAINMENT!!!!!  THERE IS NO black politicians, policemen, judges, mega businessmen, etc. in the Black Britian public. 

Again, Our Fugged up struggles are WELL KNOWN, what is not well KNOWN is why people like YOU. In Europe are so Silent!

Ever heard of a woman by the name of Margaret Sanger? well, she was a US govt agent used by the white elite to "control" the growth of the black population in america in the early part of the 20th century, she founded an organisation known as the American Birth Control League which eventually became known as Planned Parenthood, what is so sad about this situation is that many supposedly educated african americans bought into it and were hoodwinked into beleiving that it would be in the interest of the black community to reduce the number of children they had, in a bid to be accepted by white mainstream society, many educated blacks started preaching this warped ideology of population control of their own people, before long abortion clinics began springing up everywhere in the black community. what many blacks in america didnt understand was that they were comitting race suicide under the guidance of an evil eugenicist, if you look at america today, you can see that race suicide of the black race is still a work in progress, black men - the ones who are not tied up in the prison industrial complex are either no longer having children with black women but opting to go for women of other races instead, this is all part of the eugenics programme of white america - reduction of the black population in america

Planned Parenthood has many rich financiers such as Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, these are people who if they had one wish it would be for all the black people in america to disappear.

by the way eugenics or "race hygiene" as it used to be known in the US in the 1920's is basically the purification of the Aryan race by the removal of groups who are considered to be "unfit" from mainstream society, in the early part of the 20th century black people were on the receiving end of this programme in the following ways: lynching, segregation, sterilisation and abortion, now it is done by way of incarceration of large nos of black men, introduction of crack cocaine into the black community, mass incarceration of young black men , decriminalisation of miscegenation or race mixing and high rates of abortion under the guise of "family planning" and finally HIV aids.

when slavery ended the white elite realised that they no longer had any more use for the black population, they did a cost benefit analysis and the US govt realised that it was going to cost them a lot of money to rehabilitate people who had been brutalised by such a heinous system and they were not willing to spend a dime of their money to pay for this rehabilitation programme, they decided instead to come up with an ingenious plan, - the gradual elimination of the black population - but you see because america prides itself in being a champion of human rights they couldnt come out openly to do this - because that would mean that they were no better than the Nazis, so instead they chose to cloak their plans in lies and falsity and this is where this organisation came into play, please dont take my word for it do your research on Planned Parenthood and its origins and you will find out that what i am saying is true.

[b]Maybe. Maybe not. I'm not one for alot of poor Black disenfranchised people running around anyway. Look at Nigeria, What have their populations given them but alot of unfed mouths, disease and poor people lacking humanity for poor people. POPULATIONS do need to be contained. WHO IS GOING TO FEED PEOPLE WHO CANNOT FEED THEMSELVES??

Besides man. You have 1 out of every 3 Nigerian man in America DYING to be with a white woman. Nigga you in the UK. You do not even HAVE ONE BLACK LEADER!!! There is NO BODY BLACK IN THE UK that can mobilize and communicate to your people. We Blacks in the U.S. have given you a template, yet you Africans in the U.K. remain PASSIVE.

EVERYBODY WANTS TO GET TO AMERIKKA-BECAUSE WE AFRICAN AMERICANS are stunting and struggling and progressing. Africans are dying to REPLACE us, but when they get here, they soon learn THEIR place.

We African Americans DO NOT HAVE A PLACE - We set the pace!!! White folks have been annilliate us at every turn because of it. YET WE FIGHT!! Blacks in the U.K. accept their secondary status and DO NOTHING!!!![/b]

MondingoII: I am a female, and far from the ugly tree And yet to feel any acceptance from African Americans. Although, I have felt a little comfort from the ones who are educated and know that I never lived in a tree, ate monkies, and came to the states via boat.

well

Do you?

btw I've been to columbus TWICE for the Arnold Classic

there is Absolutely NOTHING there but boring white people - no wonder u bored sh!tless,

This is reason why I avoid folks like you . . . you @becomerich minded individuals on here. One never has any idea where you are going with any discussion. What in the world has tribalism to do with this? Now you conclude all Americans who do not fit your mold are materialistic? Are you insane?
By the way, what then do you say of Ghanians who have embraced America as their home and have no intentions of going back to Ghana. Would you conclude they are not ghanians? I would not put that one past you. . . .

ROFLMAO!!

Kai!!! ROFLMAO!!

oh I see now , u a woman. figures. YOU WIN!!!!

CAUSE you will keep dragging this on and on and on,

Sorry, oh deluded chosen one. I have no idea where you get the above from but I can assure you we do not all think as you do, and I hope I never go down to your level, ever! ROFLMAO!!

By the way, you do know you are sort of making @Jakumo's point there, right?

tribalism has alwasy been alive and well in nigeria and nairaland.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/board-40.0.html

enjoy your newfound American Materialism, as my Ghanian friends express to all the time.

they have STUFF, but they feel like interlopers and miss home.  you do too.  you just get to type from a FRESHER environment.

I kind of agree with what he has there. It is almost an all black thing, except some blacks do fight that urge to settle with that mentality.

you a joke.

Americans feel they are BLESSED because they sincerely BELIEVE they are the CHOSEN ONES!!!!

so when African immigrants get here, they too feel they are the Chosen Ones.

when in reality, they are poor. Start at the bottom and must EARN their way into Middle Class.

Taxi -much?

this is a strangel comment from you considering your critic of the crab-in-a barrel rhetoric.

is this a slick comment to bash african americans?

as ugly as he is, we African Americans forgive him
