% of women in the U.S. military that are black? 29.2% -A difference of 15.9 percentage points.Again an over-representation.
Now since the military is predominantly male, (over 80%), I did a rough estimate of 18%.But working the numbers, that percentage is a little over 19%.I guess you're right about my untrue post as I UNDERESTIMATED the number of black people serving our country.
Feel free to continue posting about important things like Bubba Wallace.Knock yourself out.
