I is true that there are more black people in western Europe than in the U.S.?

No, not even close-even considering that there are a handful of million black people that are native to EU countries, especially the UK, there are still well under 20 million blacks in Europe.  In the US, in a population of nearly 300 million, blacks make up about 17%, or approximately 50 million.  All that being said, genetically it is very difficult to distinguish people based on what we have historically known as "race", and most geneticists dont consider it a meaningful term-"Black" people such as Ethiopeans and Somalians are more genetically related to European "white" people than to other "black" African populations.  Skin color is only one of thousands of characteristics of a person that are genetically passed-it just happens to be one that is visible.  If you look at blood type, for example, then you see as much variation in the European population as you do between Europeans and Africans, and that holds true for most genetic traits. So, Black and White, genetically, dont mean very much.

I wouldn't think so.  I've traveled through Europe when I was younger and I didn't encounter any racism in my travels (I'm Mexican-American and have light brown skin).  I don't think you're in any danger.\n\nLiving there might be a different problem.  To answer your question, maybe the U.S. is a bit more tolerant,.\n\nThe U.S. has much more experience with a multi-racial society than Europe.  We've always been a multi-ethnic society made up of immigrants. \n\nUp until the past 10-20 years, most European countries have been ethnically homogeneous.  Many European nations are getting used to immigrants emigrating to their countries, especially Muslims.

Actually there are not many. Most Blacks are just plain ol' Americans now like, most other people who came from other Countries. I do have Friends from Chad and Zimbabwe who hold Duel Citizenship and live here in America. Not really sure how you could research this, but, they are actual African Americans I would Assume. IF, you could find a Statistic on these people you could get a relative number. Also, if, your specific there are White African Americans most came from South Africa.\nIF, you looking for a Census of Black Americans only try here; http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/race/black.html\nThis up to 2004, best I could find.

Personally I think a lot of Americans and Europeans have already accepted it. Extraordinary question, really made me think!

I bet if you looked at the overall population in the area that was hit by Kartrina, I bet it would show that the majority of it was occupied by white people, (only the city of New Orleans is probably one of the few areas that has a majority black population) yet the deaths are probably nearly equal... so if there were many more white people hit, yet almost an equal number died, then it's not a very pretty picture...

I don't know what your purpose is for this research... but I think you will find that it is pointless to try to label black american teen culture. You mentioned hip-hop trends as being popular among black teens but hip-hop culture is not exclusive to the black population, and its not exclusive to the United States either. I assure you there are kids in Latvia who ride to Chamillionare's raps just like kids in the third ward of Houston do. And while music may or may not affect one's dominant culture, let me stress that this is America. There are so many sub-cultures in this country and so many overlaps between them that it seems like if you want to talk about trends among youth, you can't generalize and at the same time limit the discussion to black culture. Because really American culture is the common denominator. So whatever youre trying to find out, beware of oversimplified results.

I am Dutch and there are lot of black Dutch people. Many come from Suriname or the Dutch Antillen, which used to be Dutch kolonies.\n\nThere are many not-white people living here that are just as Dutch as an African-American is American.

It just depends on where you are and how you've been raised! I know plenty of europeans, and they seem just fine. Go any where in the u.s. and i'm sure that some state will have an issue with another state. Like kansas and arkansas. Now they don't think to highly of each other. It's not about the country, but the people and how they've been raised.

Unless the Europeans are Jews, Americans, or Muslims, I would say no.  In western culture, these are pretty much the only groups that practice circumcision.  It is practiced among tribes in Africa and Pacific Islanders, but most secular societies, where religion does not play a major role in everyday life, do not encourage circumcision.  However, they do not discourage it, either.

no because the bones of black people are more dense than other nationalities, therefore it takes more effort to get them moving.....more power to be faster..

People of predominantly Caucasian stock (Middle Eastern, European, Persian, North African, Central Asian, Western Asian, Etc) tend to have more body hair in general than the rest of the world's population. So yes.

I do believe that there were people who lived in England decades and decades ago who were from African descent.  I have met several black people who were from England and their ancesters were from England many years back.  That doesn't necessarily mean that you have any black blood in you.  If you look a little exotic, that doesn't mean anything.  The caucasian race is widely diversified . . . there are blondes, redheads, brunettes, and those with black hair.  Their complexions range from the very pale to the very tanned.  I would consider you a caucasiion if your family tells you that you are.

I disagree with the person that said move to Europe, I mean racism is everywhere no matter what country no matter what ethnicity. Yes us black folks get it thrown in our face everyday but F*** em' life goes on you know, "what they eat don't make us sh**. like jay z said, ain't no love in the heart of the city, ain't no love in the heart of town"  Did you know in the history of television, in europe 2 weeks ago, a news station hired a black broadcaster. Now how long has the tv been around. We may have a few more oppurtinities, but not much. Just do what we all do, keep ya head up and try to maintain, Like Donny Hathaway says " Take it from me someday we'll ALL be FREE!"

That depends on what country you are asking about; in most European countries, no.

Personally I think about 1/2 of the U.S.'s population IS racist and about 1/2 or more of them are black.  I am white and i am not racist until i see someone talk about how good whites have it.  ITS NOT THAT GOOD BEING WHITE THESE DAYS.
