4. census 2000 - 12.3%
Quickly grabbed this but you should doublecheck me:
http://www.census.gov/prod/cen2000/dp1/2kh00.pdf

Census.gov has tons of data by U.S. and by state.

5. That's right
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_and_ethnic_demographics_of_the_United_States#Black_Americans

I'd like to know of that 12.3% black population how many males are serving jail time and how many are in the service away from home? This shortage of males has to be stress on the community, families, and social chances of finding a husband.

12.3% say...50% are males. 6.15% are males.

Does anyone have any idea about these numbers?

6. 12% of the population, 11% of GE voters and about 1/5 of Dem primary voters
Latinos are 8% of genera election voters, 13% of the population and Asians are 4% of the population and 2% of GE voters.

8. But no matter how hard she tries
Edited on Thu Apr-03-08 12:04 AM by Catherina
No matter how hard she huffs and puffs and threatens to blow the house down, she can't claim more than 1/5 of those women and even that figure's being generous.
