The white American male is the minority. He's the one who's ignored. His benefits are none existent. He has to be blind or pregnant to get any assistance. He's not allowed to ask for anything for fear of being called names. It's a conspiracy I tell ya.

I assume that you mean are they a minority in the United States.
Yes, if you consider the entire country, 12.3% of the population is African American or Americans whose ancestors came from Africa or blacks as some people prefer to be called. It depends on where you live if they are the minority. In some areas there are almost no black people while others have a much higher percentage of population (some areas of the South, in urban areas, etc.) Why do you ask? Does it matter? There are many minorities in the U.S. - every country has minorities of some sort.
I, personally find it wonderful to find out about other people's cultures and customs and have friends of many different minorities as well as the majority (caucasions, of which I am one by birth - through no credit or fault of my own).

Yes. They're about 12% of the population.
Latinos are the number one minority, African Americans are #2.

According to the last census conducted in 2000, African Americans make up 12.3% of the U.S. populations, so yes that is a minority.

Let me see now...African Americans are only about 39 to 40 million, and the countries population is about 300 million people. I say we are a minority.

Anning has been swallowed by the PC monster. Yes, the overwhelming minority- 6 to 10% of the population. You'd never know it by the way they scream for rights (that they already have).

No. Since the year 2000, white anglo saxon males are now the minority. Stastically hispanics, then blacks then WASPS in that order

Yes, there are about 12% blacks in America compared to about 75% whites. That is a huge difference.

Yep, and they probably always will be.
Hispanics or Latinos may become the prevelant race.
In Los Angeles they "took over" the turf of the black man and forced the black man to integrate.
Hispanics took over Watts, Compton, etc.
