Why Are American Statistics So Negative When It Comes to Blacks?
Question by Anna: Why are american statistics so negative when it comes to blacks?
I mean hopefully some of you know what I’m talking about, but I mean things like, highest drug use, health risks, relationship crisis/abuse, income rates, education and drop out rates etc. I could go on and on. I have finally came to notice that when it comes to these criteria blacks are all ways criticized so negatively. You see I am doing a report on spousal dating abuse for our “No place for Hate” group in our high school so since I have never experienced or know someone that has a history of abuse I started doing some big research. According to american “statistics” black women and men suffer the highest rate of domestic abuse also being that 85% of people in abusive relationships are women leaving the 15% to be men. Now this was only the beginning of my wondering, but school started t up even more. According to the Sex-ED teacher or the books “statistics” we are also more likely to get STD’s. To much information to type up, but I know the biggest one they have against is HIV/AIDS.
But It does not end here, we also have the highest high school dropout rate, in the years 2007-2008 the total dropout rate was 9% followed by hispanics with 7.24%, multiracial with 3.91%, whites with 2.16%, and lastly asian with 1.62%. The same range of ratings goes for Teen pregnancy rates, crime rates, employment, marriage, drug use, more likely to succeed?, even the most ridiculous one, which wasn’t so much a statistic, well not one at all, but more of a poll chosen by people: Results, 1. White 2. Asian 3. Latino/Hispanic 4. Indian 5. Black. I mean it wasn’t just one thing, but it was like diff rent peoples opinions everywhere. Now all I want to know is why the media has to make the perceptions of us so bad. It is not only annoying, judge mental, and arrogant, but for me it is a pretty touchy matter. Living in a world knowing that the world(not all) today has come to think that “Black, African, Brown” whatever you may call it has been taught to be “Bad”. Will those narrow minded people who think so negatively about people like myself ever overcome themselves? It’s just so aggravating because I only wish to live in a world od peace were we don’t have to worry about racism, hurting, and negative stereotypes. Anybody of color feel the way I feel?
