Toward Perpetual Peace of Mind

[Politics, Culture, Blackness]

"Within the current race relations framework of the United States, African Americans remain a “minority group.” But 36.4 million people constitute a large population. For example, Black Americans outnumber the population of Ghana (20 million), Kenya (32 million), and Senegal (10 million) and most other African nations. There are more African Americans than the population of Belgium (10 million), Switzerland (7 million), Iraq (24 million), and Israel (6 million). In fact, African Americans constitute one of the largest national populations of people of African descent, following Nigeria (134 million), Congo-Kinshasa (56 million), and Brazil."
