CHAPTER VI. Part # 1 Blacological Creative Data Introduction This database will provide information about the Black Diaspora and the viable Black market available to Blacology within the United States. This Data Base will show the years of contributions of Black Scholars have made to the eurological studies in the U.S. Education System. It will also show how Blacology can be instrumental in the Black Reparations Movement of Black people from captivity, enslavement and unjust laws in the United States. The data will show how a Blacological Intellectual Cultural Science can also provide careers, jobs, and Intellectual Entrepreneurialship in the United States Educational System of eurological studies. Blacology will also show the opportunity for Blacology Institute the University of Black African Culture Education System in the United States. It will also show need and opportunity for implementation of Blacology in the education system as an Intellectual Cultural Science. This data base will show the need for reciprocity for which 366 Black Scholars have contributed much in research, study, economics, talents, skills, Intellectual Genius, creativity, institution building and unquestionable faith and belief in eurological studies. In fact the Black Scholars worshiped the ground the eurological scholars walked on, with no reciprocity at all. Black Scholars were intellectual slaves to eurological studies. This data reveals that Black Scholars even made their schools, colleges, and universities in the image and likeness of the colonialists. It has been stated the HBCU are carbon copies of the Eurological institutions. There is no limit to the contribution of Black Scholars to the eurological vision of the world. This will also reflect the time has come to develop the Intellectual Cultural Science for Black African Culture through out the world. Table 2.1 1Map of Black Population in the U.S. There will come a time when Blacology will conduct research and study to make maps of the Black population in the United States that will reflect that finding of Blacology. But for now Blacologically, as Black Scholars we must utilizes the philosophy of Booker T. Washington and cast our buckets down where we are. As Blacologists, we must use what we have to make it. Let us take look at the U.S. Census Map. This map is a good picture of the location of the Black Diaspora and its Black population within the United States. It shows the Black market and where it’s various locations are. It also shows where the majority of the population of Black people is located in the south and east within the United States and Alaska. 1 http://www.censusscope.org/us/map_nhblack.html. 367 Table 2.2 2Black Population in the States and locations where Professor W.Z. Xrozz lived and was born and has contacted directly and indirectly. 1980 1990 2000 Texas number % number % number % Black Population * 1,692,562 11.89% 1,976,360 11.63% 2,364,255 11.34% Illinois Black Population * 1,661,910 14.54% 1,673,703 14.64% 1,856,152 14.95% Arkansas Black Population * 369,999 16.18% 372,762 15.86% 416,615 15.58% Maryland Black Population * 950,464 22.54% 1,177,823 24.63% 1,464,735 27.65% Missouri Black Population* 510,885 10.39% 545,527 10.66% 625,667 11.18% Total Black Population 5,185,820 5,746,175 6,727,424 Sum Total of all 17,659,419 The previous table reflects the travel experience within the BlacDiaspora of which is essential to research and study of this dissertation by Professor W. Cross. It also reflects the Black Populations that have participated, been informed, influenced and shared in the development of the Cultural Science of Blacology. Where ever I go and tell Black people about Blacology there is positive, negative, and curious responses to this phenomena. Table 2.3 3Black Population in U.S. Census 2004 39.2 million was the estimated population of Black people, as of July 1, 2004, as residents in the United States, including those of more than one race. They made up 13.4% of the total U.S. population. This figure represents an increase of half a million residents from one year earlier. Blacological research has revealed thru the experience of random and cursory study of Black people in HBCU and Local Black population of this research where Blacologist Professor W. Cross has resided that 1 out of 4 Black people fill out or complete a census. This then suggest Blacologically that the estimated Black population in the U.S. is 4 times the amount that the U.S. Census has on record. Blacological research has estimated the Black population in the United States to be about 120 million considering the statistics of 1 out of 4 Black people completes the U.S. census. This census does not indicate the number Black people who migrated form Africa, West Indies, South America, and Europe. Blacology must conduct its own research and compile the information the get a more factual number of Black people in the United States. 61.4 million of - The projected Black population of the United States as of July 1, 2050. On that date, according to the projection, Black people would constitute 15% of the nation’s total population. 2 Source: Census 2000 analyzed by the Social Science Data Analysis Network (SSDAN) 3 http://www.infoplease.com/spot/bhmcensus1.html 368 3.5 million of - The estimated Black population of New York on July 1, 2004, highest of any state. Four other states had Black populations that surpassed 2 million: Florida, Texas, California, and Georgia. About 85,900 Black people were added to Florida’s population between July 1, 2003, and July 1, 2004. That is the largest numeric increase of any state in the nation. Georgia and Texas added 61,800 and 45,000, respectively. 59% of the proportion of the District of Columbia’s population, as of July 1, 2004, identified as Black people has the highest rate for Black people of any state or state-equivalent in the nation. The District of Columbia was followed by Mississippi (37%), Louisiana (33%), and Georgia, Maryland, and South Carolina (30% each). 1.4 million of the number of Black people in Cook County, Ill., as of July 1, 2004. Cook County led all the nation’s counties in the number of Black people. Broward County, Fla., had the largest numerical increase of Black people (17,900) between 2003 and 2004. 32% of the proportion of the Black population under 18 as of July 1, 2004. At the other end of the spectrum, 8% of the Black population was 65 or older. Black Entrepreneurialship Building Businesses $92.7 billion of receipts for Black Entrepreneurialship in 2002, up 30% from 1997. The rate at which Black Entrepreneurialship increased their receipts was higher than the national average (22%). $1.2 million of the number of Black Entrepreneurialships in 2002 is up by more than 370,000, or 45%, since 1997 is continuing to grow steadily in 2005. An estimated 94,862 such firms had paid employees, with receipts of $69.8 billion or about $735,586 per firm. Thirty-eight percent of Black owned Firms were in health care and other service industries; health care and retail trade accounted for a fourth of their receipts. A fourth of the businesses in Washington, D.C., were Black Entrepreneurialships. Black Entrepreneurialships accounted for between 12% and 15% of firms in Maryland, Georgia, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Black Entrepreneurialships were more likely to hold graduate degrees when they started or acquired ownership in their business (about 1-in-4) than the national average (19%). Acquired Eurological Education in 2004 81% of Black people age 25 and older, had at least a high school diploma in eurological studies. This proportion rose by 8% from 1994 to 2004. 18% of Black people age 25 and older, who has a bachelor’s degree or higher in eurological studies is up 5% from 1994. (Blacologically these Black people are defined as Black Scholars). 1.1 million of Black people age 25 and older, who had eurological advanced degrees in 2004 (e.g., master’s, Ph.D.., M.D. or J.D.). Ten years earlier—in 1994—only 624,000 Black people had this level of eurological education. (Blacologically these Black people are defined as Black Scholars). 2.3 million of Black people in college in fall 2004, roughly double the number 15 years earlier and 2/3 are Black women. (Blacologically these Black people are defined as Black Scholars). Income and Poverty 369 $30,134 of the annual median income of Black Households in 2004. This represents no change from 2003. 24.7% of the poverty rate in 2004 for those reporting Black people as their only race. This rate was unchanged from 2003. Black Voting Power 60% percent of Black people age 18 and older who voted in the 2004 presidential election. That amounted to 14 million voters. The percentage of those voting is up 3% from the previous election. Black people had the highest turnout rate of non-white people in 2004. Black Families and Black Children 9.1 million Number of Black families in the United States. Of these, nearly one-half (47%) are married-couples with mothers and fathers. 11% Proportion of Black children who live in a household maintained by a grandparent. 37% Single parent is divided between Black men and Black women as single family household.
