27)Which of the following about HIV is true??

A. Infants born with HIV appear ill at birth
B. more than half of young American women with AIDS were infected through heterosexual contact
C. the rate of HIV infection is higher among whites than among African Americans
D. HIV-positive mothers can breastfeed their infants without risk of HIV transmission

The statistics that you are using have made the fatal error of
getting the both terms, and the people, of 'African-American'
(AA) confused with that of 'Black American' (BA) -- therefore
the "statistics" that these "statistics" are not reliable for use.

Our society really needs to try to begin to understand that
the 'African-American' (AA) 'Ethnic' group is *not* the
same group as the Black American' (BA) 'Race' group --
that the two (2) terms are *not* synomymous and that the
two (2) terms should *not* be used inter-changeably.

We are *not* speaking of 鈥榮emantics鈥?here 鈥?but rather
鈥?the BAs & AAs are two different groups of people.

The AAs are the (largely Mixed-Race) ETHNIC group.

The BAs are the (Mono-Raced) RACE group.

Beacuse everyone seems to erroneously both mix these
two (2) groups up AND also mix these two (2) groups
together -- the "statistics" about them (ranging from
AIDs; to out of wedlock births; to prison numbers;
to graduation and drop-out rates) tend to be
severly erroneous and extremely unreliable.

As crazy as it sounds -- the U.S. government
[due to racism & wanting to stigmatize the part
of their lineage that was from Africa which,
by the way, is only one part of their lineage]
--- has labeled those people who are the
"descendents of the survivors" of the Antebellum
era American chattel-slavery system, as being AAs
(the hyphen is used in reference to acknowledging
the fact that most of them are Mixed-Race,
with African & non-African blood lines)

AND

has labeled those people who are "volitional immigrants"
who are directly from places such as the continent
of African, the West Indies, etc. -- as being BAs
(with the word 'Black' used in reference to acknowledging
the fact that they are of a Mono-racial full-Black lineage).

In addition, it should also be remembered that 鈥?although
some AAs adhere to a socio-political 鈥榠dentity鈥?that is often
described by the slang term of 鈥渂lack鈥?-- the AAs are
actually *not* even a "Race" group at all -- but rather,
they *are* a largely Mixed-Race 'Ethnic' group
(and the socio-political 鈥榠dentity鈥?that a person chooses
*does not* change their racially-mixed ancestral lineage).

Most (+70%) of the people born to two (2) parents who
are of the AA 鈥楨thnic鈥?group --- are of a Multi-Racially
鈥楳ixed鈥?(MGM) lineage 鈥?while the people to two (2)
parents who are of the BA 鈥楻acial鈥?group 鈥?on the
other hand 鈥?are of a Mono-Racially 鈥楤lack鈥?lineage.

An excellent resource is the book:

"DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE: -- Fighting
Cultural Information about African-Americans"

Press correspondent, 'Ferai Chideya')
