Your "FORGET ABOUT IT" commentary is just hot air without an evaluation of the results. Do you have a valid criticism or simply an outburst of emotion? Where is the empirical evidence associated with your dismissal of this effort?

DEAR BLACK AMERICA 2010
What these researchers of black people consistently fail to understand is that any study on black people is inherently flawed because black people are measured from a separate and distinct measure from every other segment of society.
Black people particularly African Americans are interpreted from a seperate measure called majority rule.
What The Yankelovich group segmented analysis have failed to take into account and consideration is that African Americans live in a society where the perception of their majority rules and therefore when the wagon comes, we all will go.
It is a fatal error for anyone to under estimate or totally dismiss the dynamic properties of perception by majority rule.
The dynamic properties of perception by majority rule in regards to African Americans mandates and dictates that what we have accomplished or achieved in our personal endeavors is very fine and well however because we live and are judged in a society where majority rules then what "you" or "I" have accomplished or achieved in our personal endeavors is grossly overshadowed by the majority.
In this case the majority I am referring to the majority represents the majority of African Americans
For example:
If you stood across the street in front of your well manicured lawn and residence while directly on the other side of the street 10 black men were drinking, using drugs, double parking, dropping garbage, playing loud music and using profanity where subsequently the police was called, after rounding up the 10 black men it is not unusual for one police officer to ask the Sergeant, "What about that black guy standing across the street watching?
It would not be to far fetched to conclude that the Sergeant would tell the police officer,"go get him and put him in the wagon with the rest of them."
Why would the police do that to you if you have done nothing? Because in a society where majority rules, you are black and they are black and therefore the 10 black men that was out of order has outweighed the one black man that has done nothing.
They are black men and you are a black man and as such you are guilty by association. Hence the reality of the premise that when the wagon comes we all will go.
It is the dynamics of majority rule that dictates that whenever the police is called or when conflict is eminent that you must immediately leave the area if you don't want to be mistaken or included in the roundup or conflict.
The dynamic properties of majority rule transcends all aspects of African American culture.
FOR INSTANCE
If 20 African Americans have bad credit but you are the only African American with excellent credit it is by perception based on the dynamics of majority rule that African Americans have bad credit.
Unlike the The Yankelovich group study, we are not segmented into seperate and distinct catagories. In real-time and real world applications African Americans are judged,treated, controled and herded as a majority.
In this culture and society where majority rule and where perception is king "you" nor "I" are not exceptional in spite of "our" personal accomplishments or achievements.
It is imperative that we as a people take to heart what I am saying because it is, "all for one and one for all."
In the U.S.A. where the perception of majority rule is applied and practiced upon African Americans "you" and "I" are without option.
This is not my personal opinion. This is a fact of cultural dynamics in a society and culture where the perception of the majority rule.
Now, If The Yankelovich group want to wrap their head around a real study that clarifies beyond doubt or contradiction where African Americans fit into the scheme of things and what condition our condition is truly in then let's go to real-time
CONSIDER THIS:
USA Today
The children stepping off school buses in the Dorchester section of this city are black. The owners of the grocery stores nail salons and cafes are black. So are most of the customers but blacks in Dorchester are as varied as the aromas coming from the Jamaican and Cape Verdean restaurants along Bowdoin Street.
In the hip Restaurante Cesaria, diners chat in French, Portuguese, Spanish, Haitian Creole, Cape Verde Creole, Jamaican English, English with an American twang, English with a British accent.
The musicians who entertain diners come from Angola, Nigeria, Senegal and the West Indies Diversity has come to many of America's black communities.
The diversity is not in skin color but in culture, language and national origin.
Nearly 25% of the growth of the black population between 1990 and 2000 was because of newcomers from Africa and the Caribbean according to a report published in Today.
Their populations are growing at a faster rate than that of traditional African-Americans.
The number of African-Americans increased 10% to 31 million in the 1990s. But the number of blacks from Africa more than doubled to 537,000 in the same period.
The number of blacks from the Caribbean increased 63% to more than 1.5 million.
The U.S. population of blacks from the Caribbean and Africa grew at a faster rate in the 1990s than that of native-born blacks.
Look at the trends in several metropolitan areas from data gathered by USA Today and obtained by the B.R.S.C.C.
Metropolitan areas where the Caribbean population is largest.
New York 566,770
Miami 153,255
Fort Lauderdale 150,476
Boston 62,950
Nassau-Suffolk counties, N.Y. 60,412
Where the Caribbean group has the highest share of black population.
Fort Lauderdale 43.4%
Miami 34.4%
West Palm Beach-Boca Raton, Florida 30.3%
New York 25.7%
Boston 25.6%
Where the Caribbean growth rate is highest.
Atlanta 323.1%
Orlando 186.0%
Fort Lauderdale 172.6%
West Palm Beach-Boca Raton, Florida 141.7%
Nassau-Suffolk counties, N.Y. 87.6%
From Africa where the African population is largest.
Washington 80,281
New York 73,851
Atlanta 34,302
Minnesota-St. Paul 27,592
Los Angeles-Long Beach 25,829
Where Africans has the highest share of the black population
Minneapolis-St. Paul 15.4%
Boston 9.8%
Washington 6.1%
The majority of African American avenues linking, rebuilding or re-establishing connection to our African Ancestry has been circumvented, compromised, distorted, obstructed, closed off, eliminated and removed.
All data and evidence collected and obtained by the Black Race Strategic Command Center for Defined Intelligence reveals and concludes that the welcome mat for African Americans wishing to link to African ancestry has been restricted and rescinded.
The African American history of chattel slavery is a terminal cancer on African history. To be accepted and received as viable Africans, African American's must be born again.
Time is of the essence. The above figures don't lie. African Americans must move to conform, adapt or perish.
The new black Americans are not only eliminating and replacing the classification of "African American" they are also eliminating and replacing the faces and history attached to the classification.
