Why did they not make it? As a community. why are the AfricanAmericans so far behind the other people who came over here or were brought over here? Immigrant groups that came later than the slaves have fared much better economically and they are not so dependent. The percentage of people who are poor among other ethnic groups is not as great as the percentage of groups of people who are poor among AfricanAmericans. we hear. There is something wrong with AfricanAmericans.
