According to the 2005 CIA World Fact (an official statistics agency), America racial composition is:\n\n    * White\n          o 81.7%, or 241 million (includes those who declared themselves as white-Hispanics; those of Middle Eastern and North African descent; and others who checked "Some other race".)\n          o 69%, or 204 million (excludes white-Hispanics, but includes Middle Easterners, North Africans, and others who checked "Some other race".)\n    * Black or African American 12.9% or 36.4 million,\n    * Asian 4.2% or 11.9 million,\n    * American Indian 1.4% or 4.1 million,which includes those of mixed race or more than race in addition to Native Americans\n    * Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander 0.2%\n    * Two or more races 2.4%\n\nThe Census Bureau considers Hispanic to be any person with national origins in Latin America or Spain (ie. Spaniards, Cubans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, etc.), and thus may be of any race.\n\nThe American population is therefore only around 60% pure White European(180 million people).\n\n    * Hispanics of any race 14.1%, or 41.3 million.\n\nBy ethnicity, Hispanics comprise 14% of the American population, surpassing African Americans as America's largest de facto ethnic minority.\n\nThe Census Bureau's definition of "white" is not necessarily the definition most widely held by Americans in general. Most Americans define "white" to exclude all Hispanics, even those of exclusive or predominanty European descent. Using that definition, the white proportion of the U.S. population is currently at 69.1% or even much less if we take into account the important amount of them who define themselves as white being actually of mixed ancestry.\n\nOf course, by the same definition, the numbers for each of the other races would be reduced if one were to take into account the important amounts of each group who define themselve as mixed ancestry rather than solely African American, Asian American or Native American.

The statistics are a little off since you are not accounting for all of the seriously injured people which is in the 10's of thousands who barely survived, plus we have never maintained a force of 160,000!!!!  Our force is more like 140,000 and only about 15,000 of those troops are assigned to direct combat roles, the rest are support troops.  Plus 2112, is a bit low.  CNN puts it at 2,885 just for the Americans as of 11/30/06.  So when you factor your statistics drag 15,000 over more like 32 months at this point and then factor in the 2,885 for a more reality based statistic.\n\nThen you may want to look at minority statistics in D.C. before you keep this up.  I doubt there are too many upper class white government officials getting whacked in D.C.  Then look at poor minority murders in the area and you are looking at more like 500:100,000.  \n\nPoint with all of this is when you don't know how to look at the statistics and your original criteria is off you are never going to come to a proper conclusion.

OK, simply put, the military of the U.S. has more money than all other militaries on earth, including our allies.  Last year the pentagon "misplaced" 12 billion dollars due to "arithmetical errors."\n\nIf you break down each tax dollar...\n$0.285 goes to the military\n$0.197 goes to pay the interest on the debt\n$0.202 goes to health care\n$0.066 goes to income security\n$0.041 goes to education\n$0.037 goes to benefits for veterans\n$0.027 goes to nutrition spending\n$0.020 goes to housing\n$0.014 goes to environmental protection\n$0.003 goes to job training\n$0.116 goes to all other expenses\n\nThe 20.2 percent spent on healthcare is insane considering we receive no health insurance and are ranked 37th in the world for health care.  Our military has more money than all other militaries on earth combined.\n\nThe military takes it's 28.5 percent, and the deficit eats up 18.7 percent, making up a staggering 47.2 % of your tax dollar.  All environmental protection combined makes up only 1.4 percent.

Women are allowed to play a greater role in the U.S. military and other public sectors.  Homosexuals are now recognized as people who should have the right to live how they want (now, if only politics would catch up).  Black people are gaining economic power.  At least, a small part of American population is starting to recognize that people in third world countries are just as much people as the citizens of America are.

As of 2004, I believe that there were at least seven members of congress with children in the military, and at least two members of Congress who have children in Iraq.\n\nWith close to 300 million people in America and our Active military personel numbering approx 1.4 million, you should expect 1.4/300 congressment to have a child in the military.  If they have 7/535, this is actually greater than the average.\n\n1.4/300= .00467% as compared to 7/535= .01308%\n\nCongress actaully has a higher percentage of children in the military than the US population.  Once you take that into consideration, your question answers itself.

Gangs are not a huge part of African-American culture.  Only 5% of all African-Americans are in them or truly effected by them.\n\nIt is way more exaggerated on T.V. perpetuated by sterotypes

You know at one time I really believed that to be true until the last two elections I noticed that there were  several African Americans that were in the public eye advocating for republicans It really blew my mind that they were as stupid as the rest of America. Sorry if someone gets offended but Clinton in spite of his personal infidelities he did have America making money and not spending it. He did not lie in order to take out revenge on a country for trying to assassinate his father. Costing lives. Anyway  I believe that African Americans were originally Republicans. But they got smart and decided that they did not believe the Republicans had the little mans best interest in mind. Fat cats got fatter poor got poorer and the middle class is destined to be completely eliminated. I also observed that the African Americans that were republican were born with money or were of a higher economic standard than the average African American.
