Quotes about American Demographics

Frederick Douglass

For better or for worse, (as in some of the old marriage ceremonies,) the negroes are evidently a permanent part of the American population. They are too numerous and useful to be colonized, and too enduring and self-perpetuating to disappear by natural causes. Here they are, four millions of them, and, for weal or for woe, here they must remain.

Nathan Glazer

Blacks stand out uniquely among the array of American racial and ethnic groups in the degree to which marriage remains within the group.

Although intermarriage is discouraged by many cultures in America, Black intermarriage is the only kind that for years had the force of the criminal law supporting the prejudice.

Social Security is a plan that actually was designed in a much different time, in a different era, and with a different set of American demographics in mind.

Carl T. Rowan Jr.

Probably 95 percent of ‘white’ Americans have some ‘Negroid blood.’

Rowan was primarily referring to the miscegenation that took place since Negro slavery in the Americas. Rape of slaves by white “masters” and their male relatives was common. In addition there have been interracial romantic relationships from the time Blacks were first in America. These have increased dramatically in the 20th and 21st centuries. However, he was slightly in error as he did not consider the origin of man, where science has traced the DNA of EVERY human on Earth back to a Black African female. Hence 100 percent of humans have “Negroid” blood in the sense that there has been inter-racial breeding in the past.

Demetri Martin
