Just heard a stat in a Masaman YT video that, among Americans of African descent, only about a third are ADOS (i.e. descended from African-American slaves).
African immigrants and Caribbean immigrants (and their respective descendants) each constitute another third.
#TIL!! 🤨🤔

Ok, I'm an idiot. (In case that's news to anyone. 😩)
The vid actually said the Black population is ~40m—which I misheard as *4*—and 4m apiece for Caribbean and African immigrants and descendants.
That's what I get for watching YouTube videos at 3x speed. 🥲

Moreover, the # of Americans of notable Sub-Saharan descent could be as high as 45 million.
So the ADOS portion of Black America is presumably between 70 and 80% (a number I get solely by removing the 8m Caribbean and African immigrant-descended Americans from the equation).
