Black Women Least Likely to Marry
From staff and wire reports
Posted July 25, 2002 -- Black women are least likely to marry and most likely to divorce, with more than half splitting within 15 years, according to a new survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. By age 30, 81 percent of White women have been married compared to 52 percent of Black women. The survey of 11,000 women suggests that part of the problem is a lack of men in the "marriageable pool," with disproportionate numbers of Black men unemployed or incarcerated.

The AIDS diagnosis rate among African Americans was almost 11 times the rate among whites. African-American women had a 23 times greater diagnoses rate than white women. African- American men had almost a 9 times greater rate of AIDS diagnosis than white men.
Liberia was founded by freed U.S. slaves 158 years ago. It is a black country in Africa. It has had literally dozens upon dozens of violent government overthrows and upheavals.
The CIA Factbook says the annual per capita income is $900 (nine hundred) dollars. There are 2,000 cell phones in the entire country.
From these facts, we may safely conclude that the lingering effects of slavery and racism last at least 158 years.

The AIDS part is, I'm not sure about the others but I wouldn't be surprised.
