BlackAmericaStudy.com<\/b><\/font><\/a>, has found. For instance, around 71% of all blacks are online, and my personal demographic, baby boomers, has the highest rate of online users. I'd have thought younger people would surpass us, as they do in the general population, but nope.<\/p>\nAnother one that was sort of shocking is that 91% of black people consider themselves Christian, but only 46% go to church; not sure why I thought that number would be higher. <\/p>\n
One that isn't shocking is that a high number of black people, 72%, want to invest more money into stocks, but 50% feels banks and other financial institutions don't understand their needs.<\/p>\n
