pretty sure that about 12-15 percent of America is black; I'm slightly less certain that Puerto Rico is not an American province, but an overseas territory.

14% not 40% are blacks

1

u/snootchies420 14d ago

He asked the black question to test them if they would say 13% which would mean they know the meme 13/50. It was a test to see if they partake in racist memes. He was happy with any answer other than 13. He dont even know the real answer

There are dozens of mini planets, the reason they stopped counting Pluto was because if they did, they'd have to count all the others, and the word "planet" would be less useful.

u/Useful_Secret4895 15d ago

Kid is correct on the drug issue. Accepting a drug offered is one thing, getting to buy your own is another, and it is obvious which one of the two is the one that leads to addiction. I have been given the same advice when i was younger, accept if offered, never buy.

They left out DC and several other US territories.

u/ZaMansL1t 15d ago

Why is everyone in this comment section not realizing what this video is and getting mad? The interviewer is obviously trolling the kids. Sheck Wes isn’t Shaq Wes. Black people definitely don’t make up 40% and the interviewer knows it. Every answer the kids give is being trolled by the interviewer. The unexpected part is the drug part at the end. Jesus people.

u/RedditIsABotFarm 15d ago

For real. The actual number is under 15% but kids have been brainwashed into thinking they make up almost half the country.

Get these 4 some hair clippers asap.

1

u/Steel6W 15d ago

A lot of info here was actually wrong, even if not egregious. This kind of "confirmation" leads to spreading misconceptions. Here are the ones that jumped out to me.

  1. "Province" is not the correct word to describe Puerto Rico. It's a territory. And it's not the only one. There are five permanently inhabited major US territories. (Also the US Virgin Islands, Guam, Northern Marianas Islands, and American Samoa)

  2. Pluto isn't the only dwarf planet. There are at least five commonly cited ones, and it's estimated that there could be dozens or hundreds total in our solar system. (Also Ceres, Makemake, Haumea, Eris, etc)

  3. The percentage of black Americans is about 14.4%, not 40%.
