Blacks make up 10% of the population......probably not enough to significantly effect life span statistics. 13.4% not 10% infoplease.com TABLE 12B: LIFE EXPECTANCY BY AGE GROUP AND RACE, IN YEARS, 1997 LIFE EXPECTANCY AT BIRTH WHITE 77.1 BLACK 71.1 Thanks for making my initial point. Like I said originally, the French and Germans must be doing something right....life expectancies of all races in those two countries exceed the life expectancy of just whites in this country. France by two years; Germany by a year and half. I imagine the gap would be larger if only whites in those two countries were considered. There is something to be said about a more socialistic lifestyle. ;-)
